I have swatches of all the pearl paints on my blog. Was meant to put them on here but couldn't be bothered haha.Theyre really good but I find the lighter colours fade after about 10 hours.
As for tactics.. I think the big thing is that you need something to distract you. Something like exams in my case!
Oooh, you'll have to give me a link to your blog, that will be so helpful!
I totally agree about the distraction. I think if I had a job I'd be far more focussed on that and be too knackered to make my way to the shops! Hope you do well in youe exams =)

£6 for delivery? OMG! I actually phoned up in the end when I saw the pictures on the Chanel thread, but they said they'd call me back, that was 2.5 hrs ago and nobody did. Now I can't be bothered to call back again and spend £6 on delivery. I might get to go to London next month, if it's still available I might buy something.
Yes you have to ring up - delivery is £6! lol I just placed my order

Did you ring the Chanel Boutique or the Selfridges? I rang the Boutique first as the SA had told me delivery was £5-10 and she said she'll call back but never did! In the end I just rang Selfridges - I asked and they did say they had quite alot of stock left. I think the £6 delivery charge may have been cause of the weight of the items (I ordered the quad, both JCs and lipstick) but I never asked really. Oh well I'm excited, should get my goodies on tuesday or wednesday BTW the price of the quad is that same as the normal price (£37), in other countries I've heard its been hiked up!

I haven't posted here forever! Been on a big makeup no buy - to be honest it hasn't been hard because there hasn't been much I actually wanted. Plus I've been spending silly amounts on getting all these bigs of shiny metal in my body (ha ha!) but I'm back for the launch of MAC Semi-Precious because I want me some MSF goodness!

Aww thanks, Lou! I must admit I did miss the constant 24/7 obsessive MAC chat. I don't think my love for the brand will ever completely waver, just occasionally I wonder what they are playing at with these LE collections. I like the Bloggers Obsession too but alas we will not get it.
On a happier note I did just buy a couple of the OPI Nice Stems polishes. <3 Ohhh glitter!

nazia - For my spending habits it's a case of not being able to see ANYTHING in store. I don't have any decent counters or stores near me that are in my price range, I also don't have any credit cards and don't currently have a job at the moment. I budget an insane amount. If I want more than a couple things I drop a couple of other things I wanted to get for myself. I heavily rely on online swatches and recommendations.
I have run into a problem now, though.
I saw Temptalia's lipstick swatches for SP. I was completely going to skip them as the original swatches I'd seen had done nothing for me, however I now want Gem of Roses, One of a Kind and Musky Amethyst. On top of that however, FF is coming out the same day and I want Ever Hip and planned to buy Free To Be and Lucky Green from the perm collection. This brings my total to £77.. which is far more than I wanted to spend. I'm considering dropping either Gem of Roses or One of a Kind - but I can't decide which one. I'd wanted to make an order with Sigma which totalled to £30 but that'll have to wait until next time as I also have my phone bill to pay and 1 or 2 birthday presents to order for my Mom. I'm going to be insanely poor.
I'm so glad I can't wear mineralised blushes due to my oil/big pores. It's saving me.

I rang Selfridges, and noone got back to me at all. (By the way, where's the Chanel Boutique?) So I've decided that since it would cost £98 for the 3 things I wanted plus postage, I now officially can't be bothered. Also £31 for a blush? Ugh, too much.

i called this morning and got straight through. i ended up ordering the quad and the lippie. i am a bit tight for money but knew i'd be upset if i left them out so was naughty and put them on my credit card. i can pay it off again next week when i get paid though so i don't feel too bad about it. the lady was pushing me to get the blush and i did want it but at £31 i can't help but say no way!

^ I think it's insane that even over the phone companies try and hard sell like that. Good lord.

^Lol I rang the Chanel Boutique and was literally about to order (they had all my items) and than she said she'll ring back but never did so I rang back and was told by another SA they never got the collection in :S I was like I was about to order them and she said she'd get the SA to ring me back and of course she never did so I just ordered from Selfridges instead who where very polite and fast at taking up my order I rang the Chanel Boutique on Bond Street. Not sure if the other two boutiques (both in London) have the collection in. Ringing at lunchtime or at the afternoon may mean theres less chance of someone answering as they always seem to be busy then (trust me I've been ringing inquiring about this collection for so long now!)
My stomach turns when I think about how much I paid for this collection!
