    Has postage gone up in price?

    I've tried to order a free sample kit and a puff brush jar ($4) and the postage came up at $8.04 which seems a little steep.

    I ordered on Saturday and the postage worked out to £2.88, more than likely to be higher coz you've added something else to your order. :)

    Edit: Just had a quick look and the postage for the jar on its own is USPS First Class Mail International Package ($6.36) so add that to the price of the sample kit would appear to be right.

    Got my signature mineral samples today. I only got blushers -as I've plenty of foundations now (after my SCK from everyday minerals!). They're the same size as everyday mineral samples and look pretty good, i got mostly pinks and mauves, but they do tend to look orangey and rather metallic, so i might mix them up to tone them down. Anyway, thanks OP!

    I went for blushers and priming/finishing powders too as I was a bit foundationed out with all my EDM samples. Great way to experiment with different things, who thought apricot would be a good shade as an under-foundation primer?!

    Could not get the Joppa minerals website to work....

    For everyone still struggling with the little pots/applications stick with it. I've been travelling about quite a bit recently and am even managing to apply them on the move :)

    Has anyone found a good use for the little pots when they are finished? They are just too cute to throw away and are cluttering my drawer.

    I haven't got any empties yet but when I do, I intend to use them to mix my own shades so I can have a whole new batch of eyeshadows :D

    Some of my eye shadow & blusher samples from other companies came in transparent little bags so I empited my EDM foundation samples into bigger pots I'd ordered & used the little EDM pots for my other eye shadow samples. Now I have 30 or so little pots plus my super custom kit! :D

    I'm still waiting for one of the sample to arrive since 16th July. and the sample I ordered on 25th july already arrived. anyone know what to do? it isn't big amount of money but still a loss so would you ask them to send a new one?
    thanks

    I would email them to let them know that the sample set ordered 16 July still hasn't arrived - but a subsequent one ordered 25 July had - and ask them for their advice.
