I would be so hacked off if that happened to me. You should call up and complain.

dont be tempted by healthy mix foundation, loads of people at work return it cos it broke them out
Loving the look of the water eyeshadow, the eyeliner and some of those nail polishes! Good job it's not sold near me or I'd be so tempted.
I did get tempted at Superdrug this evening, though, as their 3 for 2 on all makeup offer is on again. I got the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation (heard so many good things about it that I thought I'd better try it), the Bourjois 'Smile Enhancing Gloss' and Rimmel's Scandal Eyes mascara. I also got another cosmetic bag and some body puffs. They gave both myself and my daughter a box of 3 Guylian seashell chocolates, Dove 'Hair Therapy' conditioner and a sample of Britney Spears 'Cosmic Radiance' perfume. There was also an offer whereby if you spent £6 or more on Nivea you got a free Christmas stocking (a rather nice looking one) but I'm allergic to Nivea. Oh, and they were putting self-adhesive nails on people too, but I didn't bother as I knew I'd manage to knock them off in no time at all.
As we came out, a lady was up a ladder outside Boots (it's in the shopping centre) putting up lots of signs as they have a '£10 of points for every £50 spent' event going on tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Their £12 of points event is next Thursday.
I'm hoping the postie doesn't try to deliver my Models Own and Debenhams orders tomorrow, as my parents want to take us all out to the Savacentre at Hempstead Valley tomorrow, and we'll either be gone by the time he arrives, or my parents will be here and have another go at me for spending money on non-essentials
wow that is really bad - you always seems to have issues with them! not cool mac!

Mine didn't come today either. Oh well, Monday it is then.
I wore my 777 Dior lipstick today and it's so gorgeous! i'm now thinking about going back for the 4th one I liked (the red one) as I have £30 worth of points on my Boots card, so it would technically be free that way.

They are okay, but yes, they are quite pricey. Love the new Golden Hat ones, so pretty. Sometimes I'm not sure if they are worth the same money as Dior/Chanel though. The ones in the picture will be around £22.50, like the ones that came out with the fall collection, they're quite small as well, but those were very nice too. I'm just always shocked how expensive Lancome is, somehow it doesn't feel as high end as Dior and Chanel to me.
awww that is so cute!

Humm, another spring collection based on Roses, and pastel green, pink, orange and purple colours? What's with the HE companies coming with very similar ideas l?

I got mine 2 days ago. It's really weird, was expecting something different, not sure how to explain it though. I thought it was more rough. It feels so gentle, it's hard to see how it can be effective. I wonder if it's due to the fact that the brush head is sensitive. Has anyone tried the normal brush head is it a bit more rough?

I had a play with the MAC Holiday collection today. I really wanted to like the Sultry eye palette, but it swatched so sheerly... I ended up not getting anything, though I might pick up the Sultry Lip kit at a later time. The Mineralize shadows were beautiful, but not colours I'd wear often enough to justify the purchase really.
I also ordered the NARS Danmari All About Cheeks palette
. I ended up ordering NARS Amour blush as well so I could get free shipping (was either that or Ondine eyeshadow - Amour won). So I will probably have enough blush to last me about a year when that all arrives
Oh well!

The collections will have been developed very far in advance (could even be a year or more in advance!). Because it's so far ahead, many cosmetic companies use trend forecasting agencies. The same agencies and resources are used by the different cosmetics companies... hence why you get a lot of similarly-themed collections popping up at once.
I work in the so-called "fast moving" consumer goods industry, and even 6 months would be considered a reasonably quick turnaround time to launch a product from conception to being available in store for purchase. It's amazing what goes on behind the scenes to create a new product from scratch!
