True. I still want it, but if I don't manage to buy it, I won't cry over it. Like you, I have many bright pink lipsticks myself.

I hate it when that happens. I nearly missed the postman today because I was drying my hair when he rang the doorbell, but luckily I heard him post some letters through the letter box, so I looked out the window and there he was, writing up the red slip. So I ran downstairs and got my stuff, yay! 
I ordered the new Stila palette from Beauty Bay, it's this one: http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/stila/naturaleyeshadowpalette/ It's a very good alternative to the UD Naked palette. Funnily I only paid £22.50, but lookfantastic.com was selling it for £25, so now Beauty Bay have put the price up too.
In other news, 17 has some new "Wild Metalics" cream eyeshadows, £3.99 each, and if you buy 2 17 products, you get a free Femme Noir eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipgloss set. Worth checking it out. I haven't tried the cream shadows, will let you know once I have.

well the annoying thing is my neighbour got a package from the postie so why did she not just go back to her house to keep my package safe?! so annoying!I hate it when that happens.

i have heard lots about that Stila palette and it looks really nice. However I can skip because I have the naked one
Weird how they put their price up! By being cheaper they would guarentee more custom!i shall have a play with the 17 cream shadows soon too
However I have a busy week because I am at a conference for a couple of days. typical i have gotten a bad cold too so it won't be much fun being away from home and feeling like crap!

I popped into Boots on my way back from dance class today. They have the displayer for the 17 metallic eyeshadows, but no eyeshadows out yet. I asked about the Soap & Glory makeup since I couldn't see it anywhere, and was told it will be in branch from 21st October. Models Own have some very nice looking cream shadows too.
Oh, and 17 are bringing out their own BB cream on 31st October - should be a cheap alternative if it's any good

I have now swatched the 17 cream eyeshadows. They seem very creamy and didn't dry at all while I took pictures for my blog, so I wonder if they'll crease. I'll try wearing one tomorrow and see how it goes. The Midnight Blue one is really pretty with multicolour glitter.
I have now started sorting through my pigments and so far have identified 15 that I'm definitely selling, all of them in old jars. I know Lou has said she might be interested, so here's the list of the ones I have for sale (there'll be more though):
Antique Green, Teal, Mutiny, Blonde's Gold, Golden Lemon, Rose, Spiritualize, Blue, Cornflower, Pink Bronze, Lark About, Kitchmas, Violet, Circa Plum, Bell Bottom Blue. Most of these only have 1/4 or 1/3 missing (I took some out to keep), except Blue and Bell Bottom Blue which seemed to have less in them to start with, so they're more like 1/2 full. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can give you the full details, send pictures and agree on price.

well thanks for making the list! sadly i own all those piggies already! sorry sweetie

i picked up the urban decay stuff today.... the midnight kit was included - on the plus side the gloss and packaging is nice! i also got some other bits that i shall be testing out and reviewing. i have a conference to go to tomorrow so the palette in the butterfly tin will be coming with me My favourite waterproof eye pencil - todays specktra blog post

No problem. And don't worry Lou, I have loads more, I just haven't got around to sorting through them all. They are new jar ones, so most of them are from recent releases. Actually, come to think of it, I think I have some more OJ ones too. This way I hope I'll actually use them more as I'll be able to store them better and get at them more easily. They all look so pretty in the little sample jars.
I got the Mariposa palette and it's quite nice, although sadly I haven't actually got around to using it. I have a real problem with buying so much stuff all the time, I hardly get to use them. I need therapy...

Yay, thanks! I looked earlier but it wasn't up yet. I want everything!
I've got a few more old jar pigments if anyone's interested. Dawn, if you want any of these, I can send the lot tomorrow and save on postage. These are between 2/3 and 3/4 full, will send photos and exact details on request. I have: Melon, Vintage Gold, Provence, Cocomotion, Fuschia, Lovely Lily, Milk, Your Ladyship, Golden Olive, Tan, Naval Blue and Heritage Rouge.Debenham site has the Guerlain Christmas collection up if anyone is interested
I'm hoping to get my goodies today
I went to Boots the other day and the Stila Lip Glaze sets contained 3 for the price of £10. I think I might be getting the set of minis instead!

Just got back from Debenhams, I picked up the Vol De Nuit shimmer spray, the blush and the meteorites! I love everything although I think the blush has some glitter overspray and I was so excited to try it that I shoved it on my face and now I have chucks of glitter on my cheeks!
Also Marie Claire are giving away free L'occitane hand creams. Waitrose have the magezines on for 2 for £6 so I picked up Desert Rose and Cocoa Flower. I'm wearing Desert Rose now and it smells delicious! I'm definitely going to pick up a few more!

Lol at your excitement. I already have the blush, picked it up on eBay a couple of weeks or so ago, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm useless. Today I ordered the Meteorites and the darker Rouge Automatique, tomorrow I'll order the eyeshadows and the other lipstick I think. Then the shimmer powder. This way I can maximize my points. (I was an accountant before I had the children, I think it shows, lol.)
I love the shimmer powders by the way, I have all of them since 2008. I have them on top of my chest of drawers and they look so pretty. Can't wait to get this one too.
Has anyone managed to pick up Rare Exotic mattene yet? I don't understand why it's not available. And HoF still hasn't put up the Angel Flame bit of the fall collection. What is it with these new collections?

I was readying Anitacska's blog post on lightscapade today, it was very good, but it made me think that the re-release may not do much to lower the value of the original release lightscapades on here, MUA and ebay. There seems to be a large variation between the old release and new release, unlike with Stereo Rose, which has seen prices fall since it's re-release.
I only have a new release and I haven't loved or hated it yet, waiting to see if I still reach for it in a couple of weeks time, thats usually a sign of a good product when I keep reaching for it.
i swapped my stereo rose away and wish I hadn't :-(
It will be interesting to see how the re-release of redhead and blonde compares to the original.
I too am have a lemming day, my current wish list consists of
oh wait im on a no buy until i clear out some stuff, why can't christmas come in november then i could ask for these as presents.

It probably depends very much on veining and how much color and or blue-ness is included in the new ones that are sold. Sadly enough, I've seen on another board that a member pointed out that there are LC's on ebay that suddenly have a blue (photoshopped!) tint - most likely, to sell these beigecapades.

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking the same, since most of these new Lightscapades look nothing like the old ones, I don't think the old ones will suddenly get cheaper. With Stereo Rose you really can't tell which one is which. I also think if the first Lightscapades had looked like these new ones, there might not have been such a hype about them at all. The new ones swatch pretty much the same as the old ones, but are so much less pretty to look at. I wonder why it's Redhead an Blonde they're repromoting, why not Metal Rock and Pleasureflush. Imagine the hype that would cause, lol.
I can't believe some people are photoshopping the blue into the new Lightscapades just to sell better. That's proper fraud!
My Debenhams order has been dispatched, hope it will arrive by Monday.
