Lovely topic I just discovered! Totally overhelmed by all the info. I have been drooling after Clarisonic for a good while, keep waiting a good deal on it.
For the lady who couldn't find Stila stand in Boots Westfield, if you mean the White City one it's on the ground floor, on the side right next to Too Faced. it's not too far from tills on the right handsight. If I remember correctly on the other side of it it had polishes.

Name and swatches please, thank you! 
if anybody had a glossy box this month there was a really nice stila liner in it - super pretty colour and it does actually last a long time

I was a very naughty girl yesterday. I have been trying to get my son to come out shopping with me for the past few days, but to no avail, so I ended up going on my own as our food supplies were running very low. First I went to the post office to post a package, then on my way to Sainsburys I had to pass Boots. I popped in to see the new Soap & Glory makeup collection. It had only just been put out, and the testers weren't even out yet. I had intended to wait until next week, for the Christmas Shopping Event at Boots, so I could get £12 of points for every £50 spent, but they had a £10 of points for every £50 spent yesterday and I figured it might be better to split the purchases so I don't buy so much in one go, especially since it's the school holidays now and my kids might be with me.
I got the 3 lipsticks, 3 eyeshadow quads, Cheekmate (a lip and cheek product in a tube), Glow All Out (a 'radiance cheek powder') It's About Prime (eyeshadow primer) in Bright Light and Smokey, and the blush.
The Bright Light Primer is a pretty pearly colour, and would be good as a brow highlighter too. The Smokey one is a light grey. The 3 lipstick colours - nude, pink and red, all look very similar in the tube, but I couldn't see before I purchased. Glow All Out is a beautiful pale pink, which can be used just like a beauty powder - as a highlight or all over. Love At First Blush has different coloured wedges, so you can pick and choose - some as blush and some as highlight. Cheekmate is in a squeezy tube with a fine nozzle, so should be easy to control the amount used. I haven't tested/tried the rest yet.
I have yet to get the foundation (they do some very light ones, so I am hopeful), concealer, eyeliner, kohl and mascara, and want to test the eyeshadow/liner double ended pencils.
I am already very much a fan of their Motherpucker glosses, Marvelips and Arch de Triumph as well as their body products.

Wow sounds like you got some lovely goodies!
I went John Lewis today and they had the Lancome collection out (the hat one) I swatched the highlighter and it is sooo pretty! I can't believe they got it in so early! I hope Debenhams get it when the gift with purchase is out and hopefully they don't sell out!

I got my order from Debenhams. The Givenchy shimmer powder is tiny, it's only 9 g, whereas the Guerlain one is 17.5 g, so if you only buy one, make it the Guerlain one. It's pretty though, more gol than the Guerlain one. The plum mascara topcoat is interesting, I've yet to try it, but it's pretty.
I really want the Lancome Golden hat highlighter, and I think I might get a lipstick or two as well. I'm really linto red lipstick at the moment, I've bought quite a few lately.

I only have one lipstick and I love it! It was my first high-end lipstick and it my only lipstick that I own that I've used so often that the bullet shape has completely gone!

I've been pretty naughty actually, today I've ordered 7 nail polishes on eBay (4 China Glaze and 3 Color Club from the holiday collections), I also have 9 Zoya nail polishes and an OPI coming to me. I used not to be into nail polish much, but there's just so many pretty sparkly ones around, lol. I used not to know that nail polishes had seasonal collections like make up, and now I've discovered so many great brands like OPI, Orly, China Glaze, Zoya, etc., it's a slippery slope, lol.

LOL, it's so tempting, isn't it Anitacska? I'll admit these past couple of years I've bought loads of nail polish. I'm another who didn't realise they had seasonal or other collections either. I'd also never heard of China Glaze, OPI, Orly or many other brands until this past year or so. Following forums has proven to be financially dangerous
snap! i only got into nail polishes a couple of years ago too and it is crazy how much my collection has grown. i now limit myself to only buying some twice a year or so. that way i can bulk order from the states and it works out cheap for me.

I found a seller who sells China Glaze polishes for $3.25 a bottle, and has very reasonable shipping charges, so I went a bit crazy with my order. It is definitely not worth buying the US brands in the UK, they cost so much extra, not even $ for £, since the China Glaze ones are around $6 each, but I've seen them for £8-9 which is just wrong.

I need to start buying some China Glaze polishes!
I checked out the Givenchy holiday collection today and everything is soo pretty! I'm getting the shimmer spray and the gold mascara! The blue mascara was also very pretty and I didn't get to swatch the plummy one. I think I have to get them in a few weeks though as I have a big list for the Chanel and Dior Holiday collections!

Ooh I can't wait for the Dior holiday collection... I really want the Couture Golds palette. (I haven't yet decided what I'll be wearing to work Xmas party this year, other than that it will involve Couture Golds.. haha!)
