Shipping

We ship worldwide!

If you have ordered by mistake or have changed your mind please get into contact with us within 12 hours and we can cancel or edit your order. If you contact us after this time we may have already processed your order. 

We offer a tracking for all deliveries. We do have a cheaper partially tracked service for certain countries, this service can take slightly longer than the tracked method. For added security and speed we recommend tracking your order. 

It is likely that a neighbour or someone else has taken it, if this is the case get in touch with us within 14 days from when it says delivered (sooner if possible) and we will help as best as we can. Do ask your neighbours if they have taken it in by accident as this is normally the case.

We pay VAT on items to the UK & EU

Orders to the EU have to be under 150euro for it to be under the IOSS scheme, any orders over this amount will be subject to VAT.

Orders to the EU may be subject to brokerage fees, we have no say in this and cannot estimate these costs. 

If you aren't from the above countries it depends on what your country taxes on imports from the UK, some countries have trade agreements, others don't. Often our packages arrive without extra charge.

If you want to find out more about taxes, please email us at info@glistencosmetics.com and we'll try and give you an estimate of tax (if any) based on the order you place and where you live.

Please note: Glisten Cosmetics LTD is not responsible for any fees related to an import.

Products

Our liners and pigments are classed as eye safe under UK & EU law. Some colours contain pigments, which according to US law may not be suitable for use in the eye area.

Some pigments smell, rather than covering this smell up with unnecessary ingredients, we leave them au naturel. If you leave the lid off for a few days it will eventually go away. 

We are! None of our products are tested on animals, or have any animal product in them. We are certified by PETA.

It's unlikely to happen in the pots, but it can happen in the pans due them not having lids. Unlike shadows which are dry, Wet Liners are left to set, pressed and then wrapped/packaged. When you order they are then opened and built into your palette. Occasionally there will be imperfections in the pressing, or they can get knocked after the pressing causing dents. This doesn't make them unsafe or used.  All of our liners are wrapped straight after production. We do make every effort to make sure they are pressed nicely. If you are unhappy or worried about how your Wet Liner looks, drop us an email! We will always assist!

Wet Liners start as a firm putty like consistency, they are then pressed into pots/pans. As water is added the consistency can get looser. This especially happens if too much water is added to your liner again and again. They will eventually dry back out but this can take some time. We recommend never adding water directly into pots, but dipping your brush in water and swirling. Make sure your liners are dry before replacing lids fully. If you are having troubles with your liners drop us an email and we'll be more than happy to assist. 

Pre-orders

It means we are awaiting stock, as soon as we have this stock we will fulfil the order.

As some of you may or may not know, we're an indie brand. We are a small team. Pre-orders help us understand the demand for products. Sometimes it's really hard to know how popular a product is going to be and over ordering can be an issue for indie brands as we don't want to hold onto stock that wont budge.

On the product page for each item you pre-order there is a date stating the estimated date of dispatch. If you have pre-ordered several items we will wait for all items to be in stock before dispatching. 

Together - unless you message us and pay extra for shipping. We will generally not ship your order in parts just as it's not very environmentally friendly.

Yes. It will be as if it was a normal order, but it will have a much longer processing time.
