UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Can anybody from the UK folks tell me whether the 188SH is really a short handled brush, or if this is the "regular" 188 (which is quite short anyway). It's listed under the "gone" section on the UK Mac site, and I am potentially interested. Thanks guys!

Both are listed on the UK site, with the 188SH being £1 cheaper than the other. The description for the 188SH says "A limited-edition short-handled version of our Pro-quality 188 brush"

This is nothing! I occasionally post on another forum (www.europetheband.com/forum, it's my avourite band's website's forum) and there are loads of Anitas there, from Denmark, Greece, Germany, etc. Weird! I knew about 2 or 3 other Anitas in school, but that's all. Also my husband told me it's an old lady name in the UK, so I didn't think there would be many others.

Thank you

This is confusing, having 2 Anitas lol. The only other Anita I knew (apart from the famous Anita Harris) was when I was in Junior school, many years ago. Now, just like the buses, along come 2 at once!

Has anybody seen the SH version of it? I wonder how short it is in comparison to the full-size, which is already rather short. If it's not much different, I'll probably pass. I haven't seen any 188SH in the US, but I might just have missed it.

Haha, is it? Oh well, I don't mind I'm from New Zealand originally, where it's also quite uncommon. Lots of Indian people I've met have also told me it's an Indian name too.

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, but also it's pretty international. Anita is the "short" version of Anna and Juanita in Spanish, but also it's quite common in Germany and pretty much all over Western and Northern Europe by the sound of it.

my 129sh is very short... the same size as the se version in fact

She was my second birthday present, a day late lol. Whilst having our birthdays consecutive days meant that my parents had to budget for both lots of birthday presents at the same time, it was far enough from Christmas to make it easier. Also they saved money by having us share our birthday party every year

hee hee! and yes i bet that would save lots of money by having shared parties! i always wonder what sort of parties kids have now. mainly because when i was a kid it was cool to have your local village hall hired out and then your parents would do whatever they wanted in it - my mum would always make food and we'd plays games like musical chairs and such. one year the in thing was for everybody to have a mcdonalds party! but what do kids do now?!

 

[Alisha1]

What an amazing bargain! We have a TK Maxx, but I rarely go there. I've never seen anything exciting in there either. I wonder if I can persuade the kids to come with me some time during the school holiday?


I'm stuffed full of baklava and birthday cake now I got given £25 (with instructions to spend it on a skirt) and a box of Lindt chocs from my parents, a bar of chocolate from my daughter and a pair of sparkly, dangly earrings from my little sister in Australia. Right now, due to the time difference, she and I are sharing a birthday. Her birthday is the day after mine, and since she moved to Australia we now share a birthday for 9 hours each year lol.

I also got 3 great pigments in the post today, bought on Specktra - Night Light, Softwash Grey and Sweet Sienna. I never thought I'd be able to get hold of any of these, but I did, and at a very good price, too I think I'll call them my birthday present to myself.

Happy belated birthday hun! Hope you had a great day!

Gosh I have so much threads to catch up on and not to mention all the makeup blogs I follow! Me and my sister have been repainting our living room for the past few days so I haven't really had a chance to come on the computer! Hope your all well

Well, my children all had parties at home until they were 7, just playing in the garden, bouncy castle, party games. My eldest had a disco party at a nearby leisure center with rope swings after it, then she had 2 pool parties and this year she had a pizza making party in Pizza Express. My younger daughter had a "partytime party" at the leisure center which included bouncy castle, rope swinhs, soft mats, some games, etc. My children have been invited to softplay parties, makeover party, rollerskating party, all sorts really. I'm too mean, so I made them have their parties at home, my son has one more year of that, then he can have something different.

My kids had parties at home when they were very young, and one at McDonalds which was their last, as it became clear to me that they did not actually enjoy parties - probably due to the Aspergers which my son has and I suspect my daughter may have too. They never really 'took part' at any of theirs or their friends' parties. My daughter was invited to one in the school hall, with a pirate theme and a bouncy castle, but within minutes of going into the room she came out again crying because of the noise. She's never liked noise, and neither her nor my son like certain noises (vacuum cleaner, hot air hand dryer etc) and I have since learned that that is common with ASD. Neither enjoy being where there are lots of people, either. Mine are quite happy with just a family tea party.

We just need to get a few more accessories and it should be good to go!

 

[Anitacska]

THat's interesting about loud noises, my younger daughter doesn't like the hand dryers and compains about loud noises all the time. Makes me wonder if she really has ASD. But she is okay about loud children and crowds though.

ASD can affect people in different ways. Sounds, textures (eg food, fabrics), smells etc can affect some, but not all. My daughter can't stand denim, for example - she says she doesn't like the sound of anything rubbing against it. My son has a very limited diet due to textures. Funny, though - those that don't like loud noises don't seem to have a problem with making lots of noise themselves lol.

A few years ago we went to Butlins for a week. We couldn't go into the main building, because any time we walked in there she got quite agitated and complained about all the noise.

Haha, true that! My daughter is extremely noisy, lol!

I found a stand in Nottingham Broadmarsh today selling fake MAC lipsticks for £10 each today. I was looking through them thinking that something didn't seem right, then saw one shade called "Maked Paris" and burst out laughing. They had fake Chanel lipsticks at £10 a pop too

 

[AndSparkle]

Hahaha, why does that not surprise me? I've not been in Broadmarsh for a while tho. Maybe you should inform MAC and see if they'll give you some goodies?

Also, has anyone any tips on photographing flakie and glitter polishes? I'm getting nowhere atm - although I've found that photographing them in water helps a lot.. it's still not allowing me to accurately get the colour right.
