July 22
Talk about lip service: sheer, creamy, sensuous color at 40% savings (lutra slick lipstick, originally #32 each, now $20 with code OPRAH; edwardbess.com)
Thanks for the heads up! I've been meaning to try his lippies for a while now and this is a perfect time to do so.
Just a quick question, do you know how much shipping from his website is? It's not stated anywhere…
woohoo! Thank you for the info! now I can try these without feeling too guilty =)
Do you know if it's 12:01EST?
Jamie – thank you!
Cewek – I've never ordered from the website before so I'm not really sure. I thought it was around $9 for UPS ground? But that was before the website revamp. I'm not sure if it's still the same.
CT – I don't know, sorry!
code is working =)
Thanks, Sabrina. I was able to order a couple of the lipsticks that I had been thinking about. It's always nice to save money $:-)
I can hardly wait to see what he's going to be bringing out this fall. The Bergdorf ladies are gladly offering to send swatches of his new products. I'm especially interested in learning more about his new cream to powder foundation. I hope he'll have a shade that I can wear. How are you doing with the Burberry foundation?
OMG – I'm excited about this. I am wondering what color I should get. What would you recommend for me (NC42)…any suggestions??
Eileen – still testing it out! It wears beautifully but I have little bumps on my face now. Not sure if it's the new Dior cream I'm using, remnants of a slight reaction to Chanel skincare used on my makeover, or if it's the foundation.
Lexi – I think all the shades I have would work. My top 3 picks for you would be Forbidden Flower, Forever Yours and Secret Desire.
You're the best! I can't wait to finally get these! Hurray!!
Wow, I was really excited to order one until I discovered that shipping is $13!! I'm sorry, but that is absurd – there is no way it should cost that much to ship a lipstick. Oh well.
Re: $12.75 Shipping. That seems to be the current flat rate no matter how many or how few items you're ordering. I usually wait until there are several things I want before placing my order. It's a bit more cost effective that way. But all of you who question the legitimacy of such an outlandish shipping cost are absolutely right to do so. We all know it doesn't cost nearly that much to ship one or two small, light items. Shipping costs is the one area that dear Edward did not do well 🙁
OMG $12.75 for Ground Shipping for a tube of lipstick – WHATEVER.
I was all set to order Forbidden Flower – until I realized that shipping practically put it back up to a $32 lipstick. NO WAY.
OMG – I just bought it anyway. Couldn't resist. This better be my favorite lipstick ever…. I think it might be…. eek. Can't believe I just forked over 13 bucks for shipping.
I completely agree with the absurd price of shipping comments. I ordered anyway. I guess the 40% off could just be seen as free shipping since I only purchased Forbidden Flower. Thanks for the swatches!
I ultimately passed on this. I didn't feel like spending the $12+ on shipping. Oh well, I'll be going to the counter in person anyway this September I can wait!
