It's exactly the same in Nottingham! Mass panic over Facebook and Twitter, but everything is completely calm in the city centre! A few shops are boarding their windows just in case (mostly sports wear type places!)

I got some Illamasqua sale goodies today! Got Delerium cream pigment and Glister liner from the asos sale, and Hectic, Baptiste and Prism nail polishes from the Illamasqua site. Originally ordered their boo/baptiste duo, which was £10 but it had sold out. A lovely customer service rep offered to send me baptiste and prism as replacement, which are both currently full price!

There's now a rumour that there's been a BBM broadcast asking people to meet on Clumber Street at 10pm and to bring weapons. Hope it is just a rumour though! I'm a little bit scared of what could happen. I live in the Lace Market, which is about 5 minutes away from the centre so I'm really close if anything does go off

What utter madness this has descended into. I hope everyone manages to stay safe!

This morning I had a meeting with a media agency I work with, they're about a block behind Selfridges in London. Everything looked fine (though there were lots of police out and about) though once the meeting was over about lunchtime pretty much everyone in the building got sent home as a precaution. One of the poor girls at the agency said she had been up most of the night last night, lives in Croydon and saw people looting, one threatened to throw a brick at her through a window which gave her a bit of a scare, and she said their flat smelled like smoke and fire from all the burning. Scary stuff :-(

I bought another item from Laura Mercier's fall collection, eyeshadow in Pine Bronze. Normally I can't wait to try new stuff out as soon as I get home, but today there's just so much awful stuff going on I really can't get excited.

that poor girl - i can't imagine how scary that would be. and i know what you mean about struggling about getting excited. i wanted to play with my urban decay stuff again but i'm too stressed about if i get an alarm call out to my store

My sister is travelling back to London tomorrow evening, and I am slightly worried as well. I'm glad the area she lives in (Alexandra Palace) doesn't really have a high street or anything, and her bf is going to pick her up. Still, it's in North London, where most of the trouble is kicking off right now, I believe.
But from what I've heard, there is heavy police presence everywhere.

[/quote] I got my look in a box today, really like what I got, can't wait to try everything out tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, The big stores seem to be targeted and I hope your stays safe and well.I can't understand what drives people to destroy peoples home and livelyhoods, many people may end up loosing their homes due to having their jobs burned down. We seem okay in the northeast so far but its only a matter of time before the scum get it into greedy little hands to start here. They better not hit my local pc world as my laptop is in there. Doesn't work, but still........... It justs fustrated me as the high st is really struggling and the mindless thugs don't seem to realise that money doesn't grow on trees and this snazzy tv your nicking has to come from somewhere. I say shoot the little f';*^%#}{ with real bullets, they will do the world a favour and let the deacent people live in peace. Hope all of you stay safe and well.

Well, a police station was attacked on the other side of town, plenty of sirens going off, and helicopters circling and there's a large gathering of police just round the corner from me too. Overall they seem to be handling everything well so far, and have been managing to break up/move on larger groups of people. Still a bit on edge though.

I hope everyone around affected areas are staying in and staying safe!

Today has been crazy. I work at an Asda superstore, and our store was advised to close early but didn't.. but instead we closed all our shutters and just kept one door open after 9... I've never seen anything like it.

For those in the affected areas, please stay safe! You're all in my thoughts. <3

I know exactly what you mean, I literally can't stop worrying It's so scary

Everyone please stay safe tonight and lets hope these thieves are caught and bought to justice.

enjoy your look in a box!

thankfully my store was ok, however i have heard from others that people attempted to have a go at m&s and wilkos... not sure if it is true yet though. i'm sorry about all the other parts of the uk but at least london seems to have calmed down.

Hey guys. Hope everyone is doing well.

Quick question - does anyone know if the Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Eyeshadows are limited edition or permanent? I really want some but cannot justify the expense yet.

Things seem to have quietened down it seems. Hope you're all fine. We're going home today. Had a nice holiday, but I'm looking forward to going home now. Been missing Paws a lot too. And I can't wait to see my new UD palette.

^I'm sure the Chanel eyeshadows are permanent - I recall someone mentioning it on the Chanel thread.

Hope you enjoy your UD palette mine still hasn't arrived, Debenhams are taking ages with delivery these days - if I receive it tomorrow it will arrive a week after I had placed the order :S I just ordered my first 2 MAC brushes from the MAC site and will probably continue to order from there if the delivery time stays this way! Also when do you usually receive points from orders online? I just checked and have not received them :/

I'm not sure if the riots have completely died down in Birmingham as the news channels tend to focus on London 90% of the time :/
