UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

Yay! So happy you got to go to London and saw the Harrods Chanel exclusives. I'm still waiting for my lipsticks, boo! Looking forward to seeing your swatches though. And poo to the Chanel MA in Debenhams, how rude! :S

I went to London yesterday completely out of the blue! Lol I booked the tickets the night before and didn't have as much money as I would have had if Iwent next week, but I had a good day nonetheless I couldn't shop properly as I wore the wrong shoes which literally killed my feet I purchased the 3 lipsticks and blush from the Chanel Harrods exclusive collection! I was going to get the 3 blue nail polishes but I couldn't justify spending that much on just nail polishes! I went to Debenhams to get some Glossimers instead and take advantage of the offer but the MA was too busy with whatever she was doing that she never even asked me if I needed assistance and then when I asked if they had a shade (which I was going to buy) she said no, never checked and got back to what she was doing *rude* so I walked out with nothing. I'd much rather give commission to the nicer MA's in Birmingham Debenhams!
I also saw the UD BOS 4 and the only thing I liked in it was the eyeliner but I decided that it wasn't a good reason to buy so I left it! I'll post pictures of my Chanel goodies later

[Anitacska]

Ooh, is that the Urban Decay holiday collection you got from the PR for review?

Hope you enjoy your all your goodies! Lol bet you don't know where to start!

 

[LMD84]

no it wasn't the holiday stuff. i think urban decay uk run a little behind so i got a few of the new liquid liners, a lip stick pencil (which ironically i already bought a couple of weeks ago so shall give that to Janice), a couple of shadows, a brow gel, brow pen and the lash curler. plus the pr lady sent some leighton denny polishes - both of which look very pretty So urban decay reviews shall be popping up on the blog next week as well as other brand review

oh and i ordered my book of shadows 4! woo hoo!!

 

[Alisha1]

I hate when friends of mine do that! Makes me appreciate shopping on my own a lot more!

 

[LMD84]

yup! i now think i prefer shopping on my own. i can take my time and also spend what i like without people judging me!

 

[Alisha1]

I've been trying to upload some pictures but its not letting me! I'll try again later... my internet connection has been crappy for a while so maybe thats it...

Does anyone who's been to Selfridges in London know the brand that do 'sticker nails' there (I have no idea what there called!) A lady there did one of my finger nails but I found it too expensive so I passed but I keep staring at my nail and regretting it!

 

[Anitacska]

I usually go shopping on my own, usually while the children are in school, so I can buy and spend whatever I like.

Was it Minx Nails? I had a great time at Harrods today although my friend made us late and so we didn't get to go to the promenade on the 3rd floor because there was a private function in there then she didn't want to wait around so she left....Anyway....I had a makeover at the LE beauty counter and got my photos and I have Tuesday off from work so I'll go back and see the promenade by myself . I swatched the lipsticks and they didn't work for me but I did get the Chelsea Glossimer and a Stylo Yeux waterproof eyeliner. The lady who did my makeover looked like Iman and we talked alot about make up for darker skin tones, afterwards we went to the MAC counter which was next door to compare the liquid eyeliners with the Chanel ones and I ended up getting the superslick one from MAC as it had a shiny finish when dry. She also gave me a couple samples of the infinite length and curl mascara and rouge allure. Will take pics of them all and upload tomorrow. On another note, I really believe I have bad luck with delivey companies/couriers etc. My Brompton Road had been sitting in the Parcel Force depot for 3 days, I got an email from Harrods yesterday and saw the date when I tracked it. When I asked if I could collect it the jobs worth there said no because apparently they have to attempt to deliver it by law.....whatever....!!

aww man! that is bad luck with the packages i hope they get off their bums and actually dispatch it to you very soon. and enjoy your new goodies!

 

[Anitacska]

Well, maybe they should bloody well deliver it then!

I hate waiting for deliveries. My 3 lipsticks should've arrived by now, but I don't even have tracking for them because I ordered on the phone. Oh well, hope they come on Monday.

Yes I think so! I so need to get ahold of some!



Rouge Allure L-R: Kensington, Hyde Park and Belgravia

My nail on the left is what I got done at Selfridges!


The blush again...


This picture is of Kensington (Left) and Joyeuse (Right) from the Le Blanc collection. In this picture the difference looks subtle but its more apparent in real life - its so hard to take colour accurate pictures of pinks!

oh wow! your nail looks so pretty! although your non minx one looks pretty nice too. how did you do the swirly pattern? kensington lipstick is my favourite of the two - super pretty and girly!

 

[Alisha1]

Kensington is super pretty! Its my definition of a bright barbie pink! I did the swirly pattern using my Konad plate - it turned out a lot better than I thought it would

 

[Eleentje]

Just was going to say the same, very pretty nails! *Jealous much*
And thanks a lot for the comparison between Joyeuse and Kensington. I have Joyeuse, so I was wondering if there was a sufficient difference between the two.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

 

[Anitacska]

Lou, just wanted to say I used the Mad Whisper minerals today on the black Topshop smudgestick and wow, it looks really great. I used the mint and the blue ones and I really like them. Here's a couple of photos as well (looks much prettier in real life though).

 

[Sweetoothj]

Ok here are the pictures
