Rare Exotic is now up on the Mac UK website. Now shall I order it or wait for it to go up on Debenhams? Actually I might order from Mac since I need a new 15 palette too.

There's a post on Mac holiday collections on BritishBeautyBlogger. Apparently some sets are exclusive to Selfridges? http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2011/10/mac-white-set-for-selfridges.html

The gift set looks like its from Glitter & Ice collection. I can't believe its launching next month!

Lol I just wanted to get my makeup fix as soon as possible - I'm crazy impatient and I've only bought 2 other beauty stuff this month so it was well deserved! Lol I might get some Clinique stuff next wee as they have a GWP in Debenhams which includes the cutest makeup bag ever! So I'll get some more points with that

Does that mean that that specific gift set is a Selfridges exclusive?

Thats what it says on British Beauty Blog I'm sure it will also be available on the Selfridges site for those of us who do not live near a store.

I purposely avoided the MAC counter at Selfridges because I'm starting to reconsider some paintpots... *sigh*

Ahh so it will. Totally forgot you can buy MAC from department stores online

I should be down in Birmingham before Christmas so no doubt I'll be in Selfridges. I still want to check out the pro store there! I'm sure you told me where it was a while ago, but I forgot where it was

Ohh, should we be enabling you? Or praising your iron will?

 

[nazia]

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.

I'd be interested in Melon, if it's still available.

Do let me know when you can =)

 

[Anitacska]

Pm'd you. x

No enabling please I can't afford it with all these holiday collection coming out! And I just ordered my first GlossyBox! Does anyone know when it will arrive? I'm super excited to see what I get!

Ok then, you're doing great with the lack of buying! keep it up!

Is House of Fraser on the same road that Primark is on? I know I've walked past it at some point but I can't remember. Ahh, freestanding. At least I can use my card there

I'd imagine it'll arrive fairly quickly, it's bad PR if they take forever with shipping

They usually arrive towards the end of the month if I recall correctly.

Aaagh I wish the MAC holiday collection would just get here now! I am impatient for holiday palettes...

Eek the end of the month! I'll have to be patient!

BTW did anyone else get the Chanel lippie from Buyapowa? I wore it again today and love it - usually the Rouge Coco formula is wayyy too drying for me but this isn't and its super pretty!

This week's Star Gift at Boots is a Front Cover makeup set. Usually £35, but from today, for one week, it's £17 - might be a thought if anyone's thinking of buying someone a makeup gift. It even comes with brushes

I saw that in this mornings metro, it looks nice, but i keep telling myself I don't need it, however if that was a sanctury or soap and glory set I would be all over it!

I think the big Soap & Glory set and a Sanctuary set will both be 'Star Gift of the week' at some point between now and Christmas, so keep an eye out

Buyapowa have a Too Faced palette on if anyone is interested!

Here are some pics of my Guerlain goodies!

I had a look at this today, but this one didn't appeal to me much. I did buy 3 other though, they were 3 for 2 plus I had a 500 points voucher. I also picked up a No 7 microderbrasion body scrub with my £5 No 7 voucher. I suck big time when it comes to willpower, lol.

As for the 17 cream eyeshadows, they crease. I wore nude and bronze yesterday and both creased, and I'm wearing midnight blue today and it has creased already 3 hours later. Not badly though, so it's still wearable, but these are not as good as the Rimmel or Chanel ones. Midnight blue also takes quite a bit of work to look even, but it's ever so pretty with all the sparkles.

Does anyone know where you can buy Stila in London? I want to check some things out in person, rather than order online, but I don't know which stores stock them. I'll be in London on Sunday in Covent Garden and also planning on going to Oxford Street. Thanks.

 

[Anitacska]

^ Alisha, they're so lovely. That reminds me, I need to place today's order, lol.

 

[rockin]

Thanks for the warning about the 17 eyeshadows, Anita.

Don't forget, Boots have their special Christmas shopping events coming up, where you get £12 worth of points for every £50 spent (I believe it's for every £75 spent if you shop online). They usually have a couple of these each year, and our first one is on Thursday 27th October from midday to 10pm. Check with your own branch in case some are different. Might be worth waiting until then to do all your Boots shopping

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, thanks, I've had the letter about it, but my Mum's going to be here that day and she'd want to come shopping with me and I'd stress out over it, so I chose to buy these now instead of waiting. All that stress isn't worth the 7 quid extra, lol. I'm sure you can relate to this with your parents.

I can indeed relate!

Knowing my luck, my parents will turn up that day, as they tend to come round the day before Dad's chemo now, after he's been for his blood test at the hospital. Luckily, Boots will be open until 10pm that day, but of course that means I'll have to drag the kids round Boots with me, and I'm sure they won't be impressed. I just hope the new Soap & Glory makeup doesn't sell out before then.
