Release dates for the UK

[pippa!]

i'm still trying to figure out ways to work in some of the brighter peacocky colours, like ego and noir plum, but prance is getting almost daily wear. it's stunning <3

my debenhams order finally arrived! i decided to return dalliance asap; once i'd swatched it at a counter i knew it would be an immediate return, the colour just doesn't do anything for me. i think i'm the only person to feel like that though, which makes me want to like it so badly, but no luck - it's just not my thing! tweet me... if i'm honest i didn't even consider tweet me til i saw how quickly it sold out. so i ordered it from debenhams to see if i could get it, and i really like it! i thought it would be predominantly a warm gold (which i don't get on with... the only gold i like is nars etrusque) but it's such a beautiful peachy gold. i decided to keep it since i reckon it should be pretty wearable and centre stage - oh my. when i swatched this at a counter on friday i HATED it. i thought it was awful and the texture just wasn't there, and i couldn't see the appeal, and i decided it would also be an immediate return. welllll i had an urge to swatch again, this time with a brush, and i love it! i love that it's not as metallic as the other shadows and i think it could be a perfect staple

i'm debating selling on ego though. i might have to try swatching it over udpp to see if that helps any, but i've got a bit of buyers' remorse! plus i want my total to sit at 6 shadows altogether so i can depot them into one of the ben nye 6 palettes if i want to - 7 just won't do

Yeah, I will definitely do it next week, lol! Also the 4 lipcolours that I got from Peacocky! God, I'm terrible.

I wore Scandelicious last night and I'm wearing So Vain this morning and they are both so lovely. The texture and feel of these lipcolours are really nice, although they don't seem to be very longlasting on me, but hardly anything is anyway. I'm glad I also got Exxxhibitionist and Flaunting It, will definitely wear them this weekend.

 

[LMD84]

^i'm pleased that you like them! let me know what you think of exxxhibitionist! that is the one that i am thinking of getting next month if i still can get hold of it

 

[Anitacska]

I just tried it out before lunch today, so only wore it a bit as it didn't last through lunch, but it's a gorgeous colour and the same lovely texture as the others. Get it!

Has anyone checked out the going, going gone section on the Mac website? they seem to be having a huge culling of products. I can't belive they are getting rid of MV2, i love that stuff.

Had to share my good news with you - I've just learned that I have won a Wonderbra set and Bourjois lipgosses through a competition on Twitter

I went to the CCO in Portsmouth yesterday and managed to pick up Pretty Baby from the Hello Kitty collection for £11!!!

They still had both palettes from the collection too! Azeala Blosson Blush Ombre was there and most of the Liberty of London stuff (bar the lippies, which was dissapointing.)

If I had more money I would have grabbed a few (old size!) pigments for £10 each but I spent the rest of my (self induced) makeup allowance on the Sugarpill 20% off sale

Congrats, Rockin!

I've finally managed to test the Peacocky eyeshadows last night, and they are gorgeous!!! I was pleasantly surprised by Dandizette, actually!
I'm pleased with everything I purchased, although I feel like I should try playing more with Spectacle of Yourself to really appreciate it. It turns out a bit on the red side on my eyelids.
Kissable lipcolours feel so good on my lips. I experience the same issue with the staying power, as Anitacska mentioned, but it's the same with any kind of lip colour I wear anyway.

I've also finally manage to depot my (regular) eyeshadows. It was so easy and went fairly quick, that I depotted 18 on one night! Now I need another 15-pan palette, lol!
The only annoying thing was the amount of glue I had to remove from the pans and how it just wouldn't go away and keep rolling up in sticky bits and stick to everything else.
Also naughty Aquadisiac eyeshadow pan didn't want to come out, and instead a top layer of the eyshadow is coming lose. I am sure I've heated it for long enough, but it will just not let go

Any advise how I can fix this?

 

[Anitacska]

Rockin, congratulations on your winnings!

I am planning on wearing all my Peacocky eyeshadows this week, I wore Plum Noir, Mating Call and Peek at You yesterday and I'm wearing Top of the Posh and Sexpectations today. They are all really lovely.

Just got an e-mail from Mac, if you spend over £50, you get a free strobe cream (30 ml) with the code: STROBE

Shame there's nothing I want right now.

 

[sonia84]

^me too, just came on here to post and you beat me too it. Wow Mac must be feeling a pinch to offer freebies. I'm not complaining mind.

 

[Eleentje]

Whatever reason is behind this, it works for us

oh yes! totally works for us. when does it expire though? i most likely have an email but havent checked it yet!

I wonder if this is anything to do with the Debenhams competition? I have to say I've bought a lot from the Debenhams website in the past week with the 10% off / beauty points offer (let's just say I now have £80 points on my card....)

In fact, I've bought so much that I can't afford to buy anything else at the mo, sorry MAC but your code is no use to me just now, too little too late!

Hmm, I've checked, and I didn't get that e-mail! Maybe it is a special offer for Mac's devoted customers?

 

[LMD84]
