I only like that metallic cream palette but I don't think I'll ever get it due to its extremely limited edition nature, the rest of the Byzance collection isn't calling my name at all.

The $250 one? That one really isn't calling my name - the price is ridiculous! Lol! I never bothered to ask about the price in sterling when I rang the Chanel boutique on Bond Street - my guess is £200+ :0 BTW if your interested in it, according to the lady I spoke to they probably will get them in so you can try ringing :)

EDIT: according to this website the palette costs £114

Maybe MAC thinks that the collections are so different that people will buy from both anyways? It would make so much more sense to spread them out evenly.

It is apparently harder to spot/diagnose in girls, because girls tend to watch others and copy behaviour in an attempt to fit in socially. My friend's eldest daughter has Aspergers too (same age as my son), and she has a very large group of friends, and a very busy social life. I can relate to the 'stubborn and awkward' bit.

My daughter has similar traits, and is waiting to be assessed. She has just sent me a text to say they're on their way home from Legoland and will be 1 to 4 hours! Are there traffic problems or something, or has someone told her wrong? I certainly don't want to be standing in the rain outside the school waiting for her for 3 hours

While sat waiting for my son to do his exam this afternoon, I tried to bid on an Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre on ebay. My mobile dongle let me down, refusing to connect, and I felt particularly miffed when I got home to find it had gone for a really good price. Oh, and the dongle worked when I got home, just not at the exam centre grrr.

Very cool to have your hubby as a model!

For mixing up nail polishes, the Manglaze Franken Jugg's should come in quite handy, especially if you want to mix up a larger quantity.

My daughter got back to Maidstone just after 6:30pm. Turns out the reference to "1 to 4 hours" to get home was because their coach driver got lost on the way to Legoland and ended up taking between 3 and 4 hours to get there instead of 1, which meant they missed out on a lot of time there, and also missed their slot at the educational bit. I gather the other coaches all got there at the intended time. Luckily it didn't rain while they were there, but it was very cloudy.


That blush went for £13 including postage, by the way. Can't imagine I'll find another for that kind of price

LOL, I can't imagine my ex letting me paint his nails. You've got a good one there, Lou!

oh man! i would not be impressed to miss out on half the day because of a coach driver getting lost! sorry about that. it's good there was no rain though right!

and nick is certainly one of a kind! i'll never forget the day where he let me swatch all my pigments on his chest! lol! my arms just aren't big enough for all the colours i have! and he's so thin he has a great flat surface to work with!

Wow.. even if I did spend that much on a palette (which I wouldn't!) I think I'd be too afraid to use it!!
Amazingly, I have seen them on Ebay for much more than that already.


Is anyone else excited by the Sized to Go collection? I really hope we get it here! I'd quite like to get the mini Fix+, Demi Wipes, Strobe Cream and Oil Control Lotion. It seems like a nice way to try these out. (I have this thing about mini sizes!)

Thats the crazy thing about everyone with the palette - there too scared to use it! :s
If I was to spend THAT much on makeup I'd definitely get some use out of it!

I was excited about the Sized to go collection also because I could try Fix+ but I think I read somewhere that it works out cheaper to purchase the original sized bottle! so I guess its still on my never ending perm list!

Eh, maybe not then. :) But sometimes these things turn up on eBay, someone selling them for much less, so we'll see. I'd pay about £60 for it.

I bought this recently on a trip to New York. I really wanted the red one, but every sephora I went into didn't seem to have it in stock. The pink liner isn't glittery in the slightest. It appears more shimmery in the swatch (due to the flash) than it does IRL. It has more of a sheen really. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to inserting pics.

Ooh, very exciting! I picked up another No 7 blending brush today with my £5 voucher, but otherwise I'm being very good because I want so much from Semi Precious and a few things from Fashion Flower too, so don't really want to spend much on other things. I don't actually want many things right now, other than the Urban Decay Rollergirl palette and nail polish set, maybe the summer Lancome bronzer/blush (if we get it here), I've pretty much bought everything I've wanted - that is until we see details of upcoming autumn collections... ;)
