eBay! The nail wheels are what I was after at first, but after looking on eBay I saw that they have these nail charts for sale too and you can swatch 120 colours on one. So for the sake of saving space I bought those instead of the wheels. But they're more difficult to paint neatly on, so it's whatever you prefer really. I need some more actually. I thought 4 charts of 120 would be enough...I was wrongThank you!
Anyway, happy birthday! Make sure you get spoilt and have loads of fun! xxx
Thank you, that's really kind of you! I do go into London reasonably regularly and will definitely be going to Westfield to do some Xmas shopping before I'm on holiday in Germany, so I should be able to pop into store and make a list of what I want to buy. Will PM you in case I can't make it!
You know we really should have a Specktra London (or UK?) meet up at some point, it seems like there are a few of us who are in and out of London regularly? Maybe in January when the post-Xmas sales are on and the spring collections are starting to appear!

I would love that! I can normally go into London at the weekends, so definitely, count me in!
I've just phoned the Kingston and Guildford counters about Winterized, the Guildford one didn't get it, the KIngston one hasn't got them out yet, she said they got them late last night, but she is happy to hold one for me if they have it. Someone on the G&I thread said they ordered it on the phone from Mac, but I don't know if you have to pay delivery if you do. I also want to go and pick up the remaining bits from Chanel and Dior (by the way, does anyone know if we're getting the Dior quint, I have not seen it online anywhere?), and some bits from Laura Mercier, so I'll go into Kingston today anyway.

What a great idea! I would love that, actually! I'm going to be in London in the weekend of Jan 7/8th, so would be great if we could do it that weekend. Dior's Spring collection, which I really want to check out, should be just out at Selfridges then, and hopefully also other brands' spring collections, plus all the sales, so I'm sure we'll get to do plenty of shopping. Although it may be stupidly busy at all the shops, but to be honest it usually is anyway in central London, especially in the weekend. But of course, I will also consider it if we hold it on another weekend in Jan, as long as it is not that of Jan 14th.
Anita, thank you very much for your offer, I'm debating with myself about it, but wouldn't want to be a burden. I may just get it from the Mac website, because my sister is coming over in 2 weeks, so she can bring it along then. Wish winterized would available as well, cos then I'd qualify for free shipping (yes, I'm a cheapskate, lol).

I'd be happy to do it. Unfortunately the Kingston counter didn't have the individual items out even by the time I left, only the spheres.But they checked in the boxes and didn't see Winterized. I'll call back tomorrow to see if they did get it, she will hold one for me anyway.
I've managed to get the Laura Mercier illuminator and the baked eye palette, yay! I also picked up the Red/gold Dior nail varnish (651 Merveille) free with my Boots points (yay!) and 777 Fantastique Rouge Dior (not free sadly). I also love 758 Constellation which will come home with me soon. However, no sign of the eyeshadow quint, it seems it might not be available in the UK? Never mind, I have last years eye quint and it's pretty similar judging by the swatches.
I saw the Chanel collection but it wasn't for sale yet. I'll definitely buy Enivree Rouge Allure and the nail polish, so pretty. My Boots order should be ready for pick up this afternoon from my local Boots, it has Famous R.A., the new R.A. Laque and the new red lipgloss as well as Dior 961 Nocturne in it. Can't wait!
I have decided though that after picking up the Chanel bits and the Dior lipstick tomorrow or next week, plus the Nars flowery palette if we get it, I will not buy more make up until the spring collections come out because I have spent so much last month and this month already. But a January meet up will be just in time.

Just wanted to say, and I'm sure you all think I'm nuts for ordering from them, but my order from Sephora (France) that I placed on Monday has just arrived! That's some example for Debenhams and Mac, my first Debenhams order that I placed on Monday has not come yet. Hmm. Oh and the delivery bloke had a french accent, do you think he actually delivered it from France, lol.

Ah great! I hate when you order mid week and you don't get them until the next week, it really puts me off ordering online. Most of my order is for xmas, it will be so hard not to open things up and play when they arrive. I'm slightly sad that I have nothing with the glitter lid but I'm not paying for a crappy palette so I can have toy to swish.

I would love to see pictures (both Kiko and Models Own). My nail polish hasn't arrived yet, or rather I missed the postman, there is a package waiting to be picked up, so it's either the Models Own one or my Monday Debenhams order. (Hoping it's the MO.)
