I am a complete and utter fool, and I think I need help! The other night they were demonstrating some Verseo...erm who? make up. It was two kits in very nice boxes of various items of make up. I am FULLY aware that this kind of kit, as attractively packaged as it is, is a complete pile of crap. They were saying that each kit contained 9 cream eyeshadows, now I prefer using cream eyeshadows, so I pricked my ears up. There were loads in the drop, and the starting price was about £50 (yeah right!) figured I'd end up paying about £15 incl postage, so I dropped in. I was pretty horrified when it was all done and dusted at £21.99 and with postage on top, this moment of stupidity was gonna cost me the best part of £30!
The stuff has since arrived, the boxes they come in are lovely, I'll say that, but as soon as I opened the lid, I could tell that the contents was absolute crap, so why, oh why did I open the cellophane? Why did I open one of the eyeshadows and try it, why? I'm so cross with myself. The cream eyeshadows are all so pastel, that you can hardly see them in the pots, let alone on your skin. Once I'd done that I thought I may as well try some of the other bits, since I'd already rendered the kit unreturnable. The blusher was of the poorest quality i've ever seen, and the mascara you couldn't even see you'd put any on. This stuff seriously makes Jerome Alexander's offerings look like Chanel!
I don't know whether it's worth me trying to salvage any of the mangled packaging, and try for a refund on the basis that the quality is beyond sub-standard, but it's quite a heavy item and would probably cost a bit to return it, or whether I could try using the returns label. It does say they'll only accept faulty items opened. Does crap count as faulty?
I wouldn't have minded so much If I hadn't have paid so bliddy much for it, I could cry thinking how much better I could have spent that money?
For heaven's sake folks, steer clear, though I don't know why I'm telling you this, it's obvious to me and you that this kind of make up set is going to be a pile of junk!
