That just sucks. I was looking forward to it! Grrr. Oh well, it saves me some money I guess!

On another note, I came across a blog post with swatches of the Chanel Byzance Collection http://poseylass.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/update-byzance-de-chanel-products-and-swatches/

I can't wait to get my hands on this collection!

we won't be getting the bloggers collection ladies - sadly i only wanted one shadow and a lovely member asked if i wanted a cp but i declined. i don't doubt they will re-promote the popular shades in a collection where internationals can get it

now is it friday yet?! i want that chanel collection darn it!

 

[Anitacska]

I don't feel too strongly about the Bloggers Collection to be honest, not when we have Semi Precious coming out in 2 weeks.

semi precious is going to bankrupt me! lol! i always like the mineral shadows. this year i must be good and only get two... three tops!!

 

[Alisha1]

Eek two weeks :0 *must start saving* the Chanel Byzance collection is going leave my purse empty my list has to be very small for SP and FF!

 

[banana1234]

hmm, do you think i'm better off just getting more perm brushes, rather than the cheek and smaller eye brush from semi precious?

Hm thats what I was thinking^ I think the best thing to do is wait for Temptalia's review on the brushes, hopefully she will compare the brushes with ones from the perm line!

Semi-Precious is the mineralised collection right? If so, I'm safe. I won't be purchasing any of it.

Fashion Flower - I will be awake until I get my damn Ever Hip l/s - I was up all damn night on Monday because of Bloggers Collection and making sure my CP got me JW - lmao. I only had an hours sleep and then crashed for 10 last night - but I will do the same thing again for Ever Hip. I missed My Paradise and I missed Hibiscus - I refuse to miss this. I'll probably buy Lucky Green and Free To Be e/s's too but I don't care if they have the flower on them or not, I'm happy to pay get them from the perm collection - I'm not a fan of special packaging.

 

[Anitacska]

I'm really surprised how quickly Jealousy Wakes sold out! I guess Christine has an awful lot of fans, plus that shade is actually very pretty.

I've been very lucky and have never missed out on anything, although I remember when Ever Hip came out with the Liberty of London collection, I did have to go to Guildford to pick it up as the Kingston counter had already sold out on the Friday! I don't actually think it's that special, pretty yes, but not that special.

I don't feel like it's "special" but more pretty and I don't have anything like it. I have a lot of NYX lipsticks, some MAC and other random brands but nothing like it and I think it's really pretty. If I had anything similar I'd skip it. I don't have a MAC store or counter closer than over an hour by train away, otherwise I'd not stay up like an idiot for it, lol! I know if I waited, it'd be gone as people who didn't get it last time will be getting it now and people who got it and loved it will be getting back ups. :/

I'll definitely be hoping to get Ever Hip when it launches. I had been thinking of getting Bows & Curtseys, but might wait until the Cinematics collection comes out, as it's being re-promoted with that as a refill, which should be cheaper and also not have the imprint compacting it.

I popped into Superdrug today, on my way home from my dance class. They had their new Sleek display stand up, and on it were testers for Oh So Special palette and Au Naturel palette, as well as what looked like all the new lipsticks. There were none of these on the display stand for purchasing though, so I asked a sales assistant, and she had a look in the drawer for me. She picked up an Oh So Special palette, and underneath it was the new Caribbean palette (Curacao), so I asked if I could have one of those too. She also found the Caribbean blush (Aruba) which I grabbed. The pout polish hadn't arrived yet, though, and there was no Au Naturel palette either. I also managed to get the Coral Reef and Candy Cane lipsticks.

On getting home, I discovered that the Caribbean collection isn't supposed to be out until 6th July lol. Well, the Superdrug staff don't know that.

Using the code which I wrote on the back of a previous receipt (code obtained by doing their online survey) all the Sleek products bar the blush were 25% off. It also gave me 10% off the Sleek blush and a 'Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert Blend Perfection Sponge' (looks much like the Beauty Blender which I've heard people raving about but only costs £4.85). In all, the discounts almost covered the cost of one of the palettes, and of course I also got points on my Superdrug loyalty card.

The only negative I've found so far with any of this is that the Sleek lipsticks have a really weird smell to them, but it does disappear once on your lips, so if anyone was thinking of getting any they might want to sniff the testers first.

Thanks for letting us know B&C is going to be repromoted as I was also considering it


My polishes came today and love them! lol random!

 

[AndSparkle]

Thanks for all your advice for London! I'm gonna be spending the next week compiling a list!

And exams are over! I can finally relax and enjoy the good weather.. now just for results!

Sleek are just churning out new palettes left right and center! Haven't even used my Monaco one yet. :|| What's annoying is that I've just bought one of the Oh So Special palettes on eBay because I saw it on Adrienne's blog and found that there's loads on eBay. Mind you, I also bought Safari and Jewels palettes from the same seller and I'm still waiting for the combined invoice, so if I manage to get OSS from Superdrug, I might just cancel the bid. Wonder what Au Naturel is like, maybe like the Naked palette? I might just get it for my collection even though I don't often do nudes.

The Au Naturel palette is lots of shades of brown and beige. They didn't have any in the drawer under the display, but they did have a tester on the display itself, which I opened and had a look at.

I actually bought a Circus palette on ebay a while back, and it came in clear plastic, not in a cardboard sleeve, and didn't have all the usual writing on the back of it. Made me wonder where they came from - seconds, perhaps, or someone 'obtained' them before they had finished being properly packaged?

 

[Anitacska]

Can you tell me if you bought it from this seller?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sleek-Divine-Mineral-Eyeshadow-Palette-Circus-No-603-/260805968911?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Make_up_Cosmetics_Eye_Shadow_PP&hash=item3cb93f440f

Just asking because she's the one I'm buying mine from. Thanks.

No, it wasn't from that seller That listing actually states that it comes with the cardboard sleeve too, which mine didn't. I just assumed it would - I was wrong.

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. Makes you wonder why you didn't get it in the cardboard sleeve though, I didn't think people would want to fake Sleek palettes, maybe it was just a preview one or a slightly faulty one? Guessing the inside is fine though.
