UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

- Start date
Just come back from London. I bought a LOT of stuff!Managed to get Peridot nail polish and the Khaki eyeliner from Chanel (both free with my Debenhams points, yay!), the Nars fall trio, a few bits and bobs from Boots and Superdrug including some lovely Andrea Fullerton nail polishes, Mac 3D Gold glitter and Reflects Purple Duo glitter, and best of all, the Armani #3 Eyes to Kill shadow!!!
Sweetoothj, I got it from Harvey Nichols!
I wanted to get the new Estee Lauder illuminating gel powder thingy, but it was sold out everywhere. I'd been putting off buying it from Debenhams because I wanted to wait for the Lancom blush to use the bonus points offer, and now it's sold out online too. Anyway, when I came back I popped into my local Debenhams, and guess what, they still had some left! Yay! It's so pretty!
I also saw the Chanel eyeshadows and they are quite nice, I like the greenish one, the pink one and the purple one, but I'm not sure I'm going to get them just now. Also saw the new YSL palette and it is very pretty, but £40, ouch. Maybe I'll check eBay for that one.
Oh and Guerlain lady says fall collection probably out in 2 weeks or so.
Nice haul!! I have to go to central London for work tomorrow so may pop into Selfridfes for a look around...Very keen to check out the Armani shadows in person.

Thank you Sweetoothj and thank you Anita, for your kind offer! I was going to post this earlier today, but posting on Specktra via my iPhone (blogs are blocked at work, grrr) is a major pain in the backside (reading is ok though). I typed out everything, and then something happened, and the page reloaded by itself. Everything was gone. I had to count til 10 at that moment!
What I was going to say is that I'll probably try my luck at Selfridges on Friday, and otherwise me and that quad were just not meant to be
I agree that it can be really annoying, when that particular item you really want to get is constantly out of stock. For some reason it makes you want it even more!
That's exactly my problem with Le Metier de Beaute's Corinthian eyeshadow. Apparently this eyeshadow has been constantly backordered on Neiman Marcus website for like 6 months now, while it is a part of the perm collection. Eep! Metier people are aware of it, and how everyone is dying to get it, but I don't see them producing oodles and oodles more of it. I do wonder why a company would do that or even discontinue a bestseller. Maybe they cannot get a certain ingredient needed for the production?
I didn't realize you could buy Armani makeup in the UK. Nice to know! I have a biiiiiig list of Eyes to Kill Intense eyeshadows, and hope to collect them all one day Good to know that you've managed to track down the shade you were after, Anita. I would have otherwise checked for you on the Belgian website that also sells Armani cosmetics to see if they had #3.
I've played with all Chanel new eyeshadows and really liked Epatant, Emerveille and Illusoire. I think they're the same ones Anita liked. I was going to buy 2 on Saturday, but the shop assistant was nowwhere in sight, and I had a train to catch. Now the 25% deal they had on all makeup, if you buy 2 items, is no longer valid I wonder what would be the best way to apply these. I've seen a little brush on the stand next to them, and I wonder if you're supposed to use that brush, because otherwise it completely sticks to your finger.

that is great you got to play with the chanel shadows! do the shadows come with the little brush? i think they do but am not 100% sure. i wonder if you could also apply the shadows like an eyeliner? that could be prettyThat's exactly my problem with Le Metier de Beaute's Corinthian eyeshadow.

Pretty sure that they do come with the brush, and yes you can use them to apply the shadows like eyeliner. I've seen a few people on blogs do this.
FYI: ASOS currently have an extra 20% off sale items with code EXTRA20, but it works on (some) non sale items too. I just tried it with some NARS stuff and it worked. I want the mascate matte lipstick but want to try it on first. They have all of the autumn collection stuff on there atm.

Perhaps you can give them a call and ask them to put one aside for you, I'll be happy to do that for you tomorrow?

Just a heads up that ASOS currently have a discount code for 20% off: EXTRA20
Have tested it out on some NARS products and it works!
Edit: Just realised that someone else already posted on this. LOL that we both tested the discount code on NARS!!
Lol I think when everyone finds a discount for Asos they go straight to the NARs section!
I dunno if I should save my money for MAC Me Over or buy a few illamasqua lipglosses that I've been wanting for a while now *confused*

I'm sorry you didn't manage to post this before I went to London today. But they did still have the Topkapi quad (and now they even had the gold blush which they didn't last time!), so fingers crossed you manage to pick one up on Friday. They also had the red blush and the lipstick as well.
I've read somewhere that you get best results with the brush included with the Chanel eyeshadows.
Ooh, thanks for the ASOS code, I've swatched a couple of Nars eyeshadow duos today that I really liked, I'll go and see if I can get the code to work!

I was on Karla's site when I stumbled upon her swatches of the Chanel Holiday 2010 collection. Her swatches of the LE eye quad in Tentation Cuirve are to die for! I don't suppose theres any chance of this quad being available on any counter right? Boo I hate when I fall in love with things that are no longer available

I'm sure you can get it on eBay. I've just checked, can't find it right now, but things like this pop up from time to time.

Might be worth calling. It's a shame that one didn't become permanent, quite a few of recent releases have, like Murano and Kaska Beige. TC is really pretty, I can see why you like it so much.
Thanks I'll keep an eye out for it

I dont usually use the applicators that come with the products but these brushes are perfect for the texture and I find that the application is precise and even. I used my finger and found that to work well enough but not with Fantasme, I got into a bit of a tizwas with that es lol!!
