I have a handful of palettes and maybe half a dozen of the single and duo eyeshadows. The quality is nice but I think there are other brands out there that do equally good shadows and are less expensive. I have one quad - Mystic Eyes - but as it's the European baked formula (different to what they get in the US) I find it a bit harder to work with. I have the New CID palette in Laguna which has very similar colours and it's much, much more pigmented and smooth than the Chanel quad (and only about 20 pounds!) so since I realised that I haven't really bothered with Chanel's eyeshadows.

Argh, wouldn't have minded 10% off!!

I've ordered the pink cream Guerlain eyeshadow, and to take advantage of free delivery, I also got the UD Summer of Love nail polish set and Nars South Pacific duo that I've been eyeing up.
I only just heard about the Mosaic bronzer on Musings of a Muse and I can't see it on the HOF website, so I'm guessing no, but hoping yes.

i ordered the terra inca powder, pink cream eyeshadow and a terracotta lipgloss (sable) today. i'm debating placing another order tomorrow for the kohl kajal and possibly one of the ecrin palettes to take me up to free delivery... i couldn't decide and just wanted to make sure i got my order in for the terra inca tonight before it sold out! i'll probably hold off on the other 2 cream shadows until my house of fraser order arrives and then order the other 2 from debenhams if the formula works well for me

what do you guys think of the 'GUERLAIN TERRA INCA RADIANT POWDER' £37.80 is still a lot of money to part with but its so beautiful...
i think i will pass, its just too much money for me, £42 (full price) is terrible, i think my other half would call an intervention if i bought one make up item that expensive. even with the £5 off its still too much for me, its so sad, i want it so much
i also like the look of the meteorites but i cant justify them either

The most important thing people are forgetting about the Meteorites is that you get 30 gramms, so they last a very very long time. Gramm per gramm they are cheaper than other brands.
When will Debenhams put the Chanel bronzers up??? I'm so fed up with waiting! And why doesn't HOF sell them online? I might have to go to Guildford tomorrow and buy it from HOF if Debenhams doesn't have it up by then.

That may be true, but many of us don't have that kind of money to splash on just one product.

Hmm, I'm not too impressed with the Rimmel mousses - I just now opened them (I made sure I got ones that were sealed when I bought them yesterday) and one of them is rock hard, completely dried out! Of course it would be the one I was really looking forward to trying, wouldn't it? It was the purple one - Galaxy
why is it not payday for me yet?!?

I know! If it's not up by tomorrow morning, I'm buying Bronze Rose from HOF tomorrow. £5 worth of points would be better, but I can't go shopping again until possible the 7th June (half term), so I need to make sure I can get it tomorrow.

They're not my colours to be honest. I prefer shimmery or metallic nail polishes.
Eek I'm considering bronze rose :/
I just went on to the HOF website, the Dior polishes in Aloha and Paradise are selling out crazy fast - I'm actually considering them
