Will ACTive Vitamin C Powder Return?

Post by Jules77 » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:10 am

Hi there

I'm planning another order and am wondering if anybody knows if/when the ACTive C will return? I love this product, it has given my pale winter skin a real glow!

Actually, let me introduce myself! I'm 31 years old, live in Oxford in the UK have an 18 mo daughter and have made quite a few SN orders so far and am loving the products. I originally found this site when the fibre optic brush was mentioned on another MMU site and very quickly became hooked! My 'hero' products so far are the Blur Powder, the Satin Velvet Eyeshadows (really sophisticated colours and texture), Nectar lippie and the ACTive C powder.

Thanks!

Welcome Jules! I'm in the UK too and *love* SN - everything from the quality and performance of the products to the excellent specials which we overseas customers can comfortably enjoy without fearing the Customs man. Karen takes care of us so well!

No idea about the Active Vit-C powder, but it has been highly praised and requested here in the forum, so I would imagine there will be news soon, or the lovely JenW will be able to update you soon. Enjoy SN and the wee forum here :)

Hi Helena!

Great to hear from a fellow UK person! You said it better than I could about the quality and performance - also the super fast and cheap shipping. Actually it costs less and arrives quicker than a lot of the stuff I order from inside the UK.

I've had a quick look around the forum and from what I've read everybody on here seems lovely and friendly. :D

Yes, I was just thinking how that is true, and more so here than any other place I lurk. It's a lovely, helpful and friendly atmosphere and if there's anything you want to know, just ask. I really love how we are encouraged to submit requests for products that we would like to see Karen 'clone', that's awesome and she has such a precise skill in doing so, it's uncanny.

I'm sure you know the current golden rule about customs being set at £18 UK, so as that is about $25 US, orders up to that amount arrive quickly and without doubling the cost in import fees and doubling the delivery time while it goes through customs. Over that value and it's liable for 'capture' lol.

But have every faith as you cannot go wrong with SN. The colour swatches here in the forum are most useful and it's such a pleasure to use, right from browsing the site and forum through to feeling beautiful. Gimme a shout if I can help, any time.

Cheers Helena!

I'll keep the customs advice in mind - I've never actually been caught out with SN stuff yet, but I forgot that with the £'s value plummeting, the amount in $ you can buy has dropped so it's good to be reminded of the new limit!

I actually have a few ideas for clones of products from other companies that I'd MUCH rather buy here, like a physical sunscreen powder to dust on face and body in summer, that the SN pigments could be added to to customise your own personal shade. I might leave a suggestion about it.
