UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I can't be bothered to pay so much for such small amount of pigment. To me the new jars are overpriced already. Also don't like the lipsticks. The light purple lipglass is a maybe depending on how much it'll cost. Last year I bought a lipstick and two lipglasses from the Marcel Wanders collection, the colours then were really nice.

I only want a pigment and maybe a lipstick from Daphne, probably more from the Iris Xxx collection, but not sure yet.

Karen from makeupandbeautyblog has just tweeted this. Didn't know which thread to post it on, though

"MAC Black Knight Lipstick is being re-released exclusively online for one day only on Fri. Nov 25"

MW collection was ALOT better than this IMO makes me wish I had bought something but I wasn't as crazy about MAC as I am now and certainly not enough to pay that much money! Ah well money saved!

I popped into Boots to look at something earlier today, and my son said he was thirsty. Then I remembered the Diet Coke offer (he he) so that's what he got. I bought 4 bottles and got 2 free lip glosses. I got the red one and the plum one.

The plum one (Pure Plum) looks sparkly in the tube, but not much sparkle actually transfers to the lips. The colour is nice, though. The red (Lacquer Red) is surprisingly pigmented for a gloss but not too opaque - it's really pretty.


Does anyone have any recommendations for a sparkly gold gloss to wear over lipsticks? I have a myface gloss (Gilt-y) which is really sparkly in the tube, but is quite wet and doesn't taste too good either. I checked out a Revlon Colourburst one today by the name of Gold Dust, but it wasn't gold enough or glittery enough.

I haven't got a gold sparkly one myself but I would suggest Chanel Glossimers, they're expensive but I have no other glosses that sparkle like them except Dior Addict 2 gloss. The Chanel Holiday collection has a clear glossimer with gold sparkles that might be worth checking out.

If I want some gold sparkle in a lipcolour I pat some gold Barrym Dazzle Dust on my lips and than set with clear gloss Any gold eyeshadow/pigment would do though

Oh and I completely forgot about the Diet coke offer! Need to get to boots asap!

Thanks, I'll take a look at the Glossimers tomorrow if I remember. I've got to collect my Whirls & Twirls from H of F anyway.

You'll be pleased to know that the free Models Own lipglosses are full sized - 15ml, so well worth looking out for. They had plenty of stock in our branch, which is surprising as when they run these offers with nail polish they tend to go very quickly.

I'll try to pop into Boots tomorrow, I'm after the pinky and nudes shades, wouldn't mind trying the red as well though

 

[Anitacska]

Ooh I hope the blush isn't as glittery as Angelika. I quite like the e/s trio too.

I like the eyeshadow trio also, it reminds me of a Guerlain quad I've been lemming. I love that there's a new Velvet Lip Pencil; I only have one shade called New Lover and I absolutely love it!! For a while I used to wear it exclusively, I can't wait for spring/summer to roll in, I mean it's a year round shade but I just love the way it looks in the sun

 

[Anitacska]

I got the Guerlain spring products! Yay! Sadly the powder has a small dent in it and one of the eyeshadows appears to have been tested, but I have managed to get a small refund off the seller (not easy though, not a nice person I have to say, grr!), so it's not all bad. This way I'll actually test/use the powder as I don't have to worry about ruining the design, lol. I'll post pictures soon.

If the items are not as described you could open a dispute if you don't feel the seller was helpful? Normally you get a full refund and can keep the item, These things normally fall in the favour of the buyer and sellers can't leave negative feedback!

My be worth a try if your not happy with the refund they offered?

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. I am happy, they gave me what I wanted (once I opened the dispute), I got a really good price to start with and it's a private seller, so I would feel really mean getting a full refund, the damage is pretty small and the eyeshadows are practically brand new except for this one swipe mark, so that's fine. He was nasty at first though, but once I opened the case and threatened with leaving negative feedback, he gave in and refunded me what I asked for.

Thats good that he eventually gave you a refund! Some of the sellers on Ebay can be mean but there are some nice ones also

Just found swatches of the soon to be released Estee Lauder Pure Colour Cyber Eyes:

Turns out they are LE I may get one but who knows...

 

[Anitacska]

Here's some pictures of the Guerlain spring products. There'll be a review and swatches up on my blog tomorrow. You can see the dent on the top of the powder, and the left hand side shade in the eyeshadow quad has a darker mark on it. Anyway, LOVE the highlighter, it's so pretty and it's gorgeous on!

 

[Alisha1]

Everything looks so pretty!^ Can't wait to read your review

Thanks for posting pics

 

[Eleentje]

I agree, everything looks really nice! The Cruel Gardenia is on my wishlist. Shame about the dent on yours, but good to hear that you got a refund.

I don't understand why sellers are nasty and why they don't list honestly, surely they are ruining their feedback ? I always try to be honest when I list and describe usage properky, if not you only ask for someone to open a dispute. I'm currently waiting for something to be delivered from a uk eBay seller. They haven't responded to my messages so going to give it till the weekend before I open a dispute. The highlighted looks lovely
