UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

They use Parcelforce, so not sure why it costs more to send to Birmingham. :S I picked up the blush from my local post office (which is unfortunately run by lazy stupid idiots who can't be arsed to turn up to open it at 9, so I had to wait until 9.40!), it is very pretty! I've taken pictures, will show them to you later, but can't swatch it yet, it's too pretty. Will definitely swatch the lipsticks though and post pictures when I have them.

Went shopping today, had to return a ton of school uniform and other clothes that I bought for the children but didn't need in the end, and I almost didn't buy any make up, until I went into Topshop and saw their A/W collection, it's really nice. I ended up buying 2 smudgesticks, one cream eyeshadow, one baked eyeshadow duo and a black nailpolish with rainbow glitter in it (that's not part of the A/W collection). My new Guerlain lipsticks came (Girly and Garconne), still waiting for another Debenhams order from Monday. I actually ordered the lipsticks on Tuesday! I'm making most of the bonus points offer only ordering just over £40 worth at a time. After the sale is finished though, I must stop buying stuff.

Oh and asked at the HoF Mac counter and they said they didn't get Turquatic either, supposed to be only Selfridges and free standing stores. I'm not going to London until October for sure, so I might have to give it a miss.

Wow, that's steep! I wonder if they use their own delivery service or something?
I caved in today and bought Thierry Mugler Alien set which i've been coveting for a while already. Just on that day when I decided to go to that shop, they had a special deal, so I HAD to get it
Now I don't think I can allow myself get all 3 RA's, but if the shipping costs are so insane, it will be stupid to order just one.....
Oh the dilemma!
Anita, if you'll be swatching yours, do you mind posting a picture of the swatches?

I rang to find out how much it would cost to mail order just as a precaution in case I don't go and was told it may cost £15 to deliver to Birmingham! It's cheaper than train fair but its still a crazy price for delivery!

Also does anyone know where I could find Cle De Peau Beaute in the UK? I'm tempted by the concealer!

No CdP in the UK unfortunately. Apparently Harrods used to stock it years back, but not anymore =(

The concealer is fab though. I got mine from good old eBay. What skintone are you? I use the Ocher shade and I'm NC35-40.

Ooh which smudgesticks did you get? I love theirs. Babara Daly in Tesco have recently released some and they look like the same formula as the Topshop and By Terry ones as well!

The black glittery nail polish is gorgeous - it's called Gypsy Night.

Talking about ineptness when it comes to delivering stuff - a lady just arrived at our door holding a parcel. She asked if I was Nazia then proceeded to tell me that she'd receieved a delivery of mine - on the other side of town! Argh! How lovely of her to drive over though?

 

[LMD84]

oh my goodness! that is so bad that that happened but great that the lady actually dropped it off to you. what is wrong with the post people eh?!

 

[Anitacska]

I can't remember what they're called, there were only two, a grey/black and a champagne colour one, got both. I remember now it was on your blog I read about them. I'll need to check the Tesco ones out then, the formula is great. The cream eyeshadow is called Tundra and it's grey with shimmer, very pretty. And yes, the np is called Gypsy Night.

I once had someone else black box handed to me and I only realised after the delivery person was gone, so I found the lady's phone number in the phone box and asked her if she had mine yet, and she said she hadn't, so when the delivery guy turned up with my box, she could tell him to come here, deliver mine and pick up hers. Otherwise one of us would've had to drive to the other's house, although she was very local, so it wouldn't have been a problem. The guy came back within 30 mins or so with my box. I now always check the address on it when I sign for something.

Here's the Chanel blush. Isn't it just so beautiful?

That is really beautiful! I don't think I'd ever have the heart to touch it! I have a few untouched items in my collection, simply cos they are far too precious to touch!

 

[LMD84]

oh wow! so it really was a good job she did that! so kind!

 

[Anitacska]

I'll learn to write one day... I meant phone book, looked her number up in the local phone book (luckily she wasn't ex-directory like we are). I'll definitely check out the Tesco ones next time I'm in one. I actually was today, but didn't look at the make up at all (unlike me). Didn't even set foot in Boots today, lol.

Oh by the way, I have a £10 off code for if you spend over £80 on boots.com. It's SAVE10, valid until 17th September.

You don't want to know just how many pretty powders I have that are completely untouched! I don't think I will be able to touch this one, at least not for a long time.

Does anyone know how long the 10% off on Debenhams goes on for?

 

[Anitacska]

I believe tomorrow is the last day.

Does anyone know how long the 10% off on Debenhams goes on for?

 

[nazia]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Debenhams have the Urban Decay Book Of Shadows IV up and it's included in the 10% off.

 

[Anitacska]

I was just going to post the exact same thing! £46 is quite a lot though, isn't it? Mind you, with £4.60 plus 500 points it's suddenly much better.

I know we don't have a Sephora in the UK, but if anyone is going on holiday where there is one, they might be interested in this

Ooooh, thanks for this. I hope it means there is a slew of dupes! Hopefully easier to get hold of too! I have Peridot but want more (I'm so greedy, I know!)

 

[LMD84]

omg! i didn't realise they would have that in stock yet!

Sephora France ship to the UK, but naturally you would need to be ordering several things to make it worthwhile

Looking forward to tomorrow, going to see the Chanel World at Harrods!

Have a great weekend xx

I'm rather disappointed. I bought Hocus Pocus and Jealousy Wakes on ebay on 14th August, and they've still not arrived. I emailed the seller over a week ago to ask when they sent them, but so far they haven't replied. I've opened a case with PayPal/ebay, but I'd much rather have the goods than a refund.

oh i have a couple of packages that should be coming from the states that were sent a good 2 weeks or so agi. i think due to all the weather issues they have over there things have been delayed massively. i also know it's not that both my packages have been stolen because they were going to different adresses and were posted like a day apart from each other.

the seller should have responded to you though!!
