Yay, thanks for this, I went to TK Maxx today and picked up 2 sets (Mistletoe and Alter Ego)! I was torn about getting the Molten Metals one too, might go back for it next week (if it's still there). I've actually ordered 3 of the glitter ones on eBay, but I can give them to my daughters at this price anyway. :)

Just a quick heads up, guys. I popped into TK Maxx today and they had Color Club nail polish sets for the amazing price of £7.99! That's £1 per polish! They even had the latest colours which is fab.

I'm a bit sad though - I spent SO much today that I'm going to HAVE to go on a spending ban. No Xmas goodies for me! And I loved the look of the Gareth Pugh nail polishes! Grrrr!

I went to 2 tkmaxx around here but no nail polishes there sniff. must have been already sold out. only spotted stilla and some other rubbish.

Heads up for the girls into polishes like me, I went crazy today and spent over 20 quid on it. I know most of the places in UK sell them for around 10 quid, but there's place Venus Nails in North Greenwich, London where they have OPI for £6 and China Glaze for £4 and they have a fairly good choice. They also have Essie, Orly, Seche Vite, Color Club and loads more. So who's in London give it a go if you wanna see the polishes in person before getting them.

Aaw, sorry you didn't manage to pick up any nail polish at TK Maxx, but it does sound like you've found a great place for cheap nail polish.

Is anyone feeling restless just waiting for all these collections coming out in November? I really want to buy something now, lol. I have noticed that the new Dior lipsticks are now up on the Debenhams website and also the new YSL collection is up and there are a coupld of Golden Glosses that I want to pick up, but I will go to Guildford next week to spend my Debenhams vouchers/beauty points and also go to HoF on Thursday to buy Mac there as somebody said they'll have 10% off days on Wed and Thurs. Also want to get myself some Chanel there. :) Can't wait to get the Models Own nail polishes too.

I'm also really annoyed with Royal Mail, I am waiting for so many packages from the US and nothing wants to turn up. Still haven't got Christine's (Temptalia) package with the paint pots, I know she said 6 to 8 weeks, but why is it taking so long??? Ugh, I want to receive my packages!

I hope your packages come soon! I hate when I order from places that use the royal mail as the courier - too slow! And I know what you mean about being restless for all these collections to come out - feels like I've been waiting forever for them!

^BTW Boots and Selfridges have all the Dior Christmas collection up

Also does anyone know if the NARS blush palette will only be available from NARS? I hope Selfridges get it as well...!

I can't see the eyeshadow quint on the Boots website. :( Shame cause I could've earned £12 worth of points today.

EDIT: The new Chanel lip stuff are up on Boots though, however the Boots website would not let me place an order. :( It just wouldn't go past the delivery address page. I sat here until past midnight and of course lost out on the bonus points. Not going to order from Boots again.

When I wrote to NARS I asked them where it would be sold in the UK and they said NARS website. Though you never know!

How exciting! :) I want to go to Florida again, it was great. Maybe in 2013... we'll see.

I was really annoyed with Boots. Sat here until after midnight and the stupid website just wouldn't let me order and then crashed. I wrote to them to complain, but I doubt they care. :(

cool! i hope it comes to selfridges though because nars take ages to ship!

The Boots site crashed on me yesterday as well, maybe loads of people are trying to take advantage of the offer?

yeah we are going back september next year :) we last went in 2010 so a two year gap is quite nice. Plus we haven't seen the Harry Potter world yet so that will be great!

I hope that Boots do reply to you... it will be rude if they don't!

They were all in stock, but the website was really slow and then crashed. :(

No packages again today, I'm so annoyed, there should be about 5 of them coming from the US plus one from Hong Kong. Sigh.

As I half expected, I ended up missing out on Boots Christmas event yesterday :( My Dad had a hospital appointment in the morning, and my parents decided to pay us a visit afterwards. We even went into town and had a meal as well as visiting a few shops and doing my supermarket shopping, but I didn't dare approach Boots as I knew I'd only get "You don't need that" "You've already got too much makeup" and so on. It just wasn't worth the hassle. All I can hope is that they do as they usually do and have another such event later. I could have ordered online, I suppose, but it's only £12 in points per £75 spend that way rather than per £50 spend in store.

I did go into town again today as my daughter wanted some bits for Halloween, and I went into Boots to look at the other Soap & Glory makeup. They didn't have all the testers out, but I did test the lightest foundation (looks promising) and the light concealer, which is very light so I definitely plan to get that. They only had one of the double-ended eye pencils out - the lilac and plum one, and I swatched it on the back of my hand. It really takes some rubbing to get it off again, so that looks like a definite future purchase too.

I gather Superdrug is having a special event next week too, from 6pm onwards. In our town it's on Thursday, but I don't know if it's the same everywhere.

Never mind, there'll be another shopping evening, I think there were 3 last year. It seems we were both unlucky yesterday. I didn't even try going yesterday as my Mum was here, although we did go to Kingston on Wednesday and popped into Boots, but didn't get anything. I'll give the Superdrug one a miss, I don't think I can justify going after 6 pm, plus there's not much I want from there right now.
