I was just looking for swatches of the Metal X eyeshadows! There's definitely not much out there...can't wait to hear how you like them
Those Tesco eyeshadows look great by the way!

Just seen Temptalia's reviews on the Daphne Guiness collection and I have to say, I'm majorly underwhelmed. I know she doesn't have everything yet, but from what I've seen, I only really want Red Dwarf pro-longwear lipcreme. Maybe Aurora pigment, but it doesn't look that interesting.
I'm really gobsmacked, I ended up being the winning bidder for the Dior set (Couture Golds e/d quint and mini brush set) on the bloggers' auction and I've just received my item, it was Fed Exed from New York. I only paid on Tuesday! Wow! Really pretty as well, although I know I paid way too much for it, but at least it's for a good cause rather than a greedy eBay seller. That's my excuse anyway.

Yay that's great you got Couture Gold palette! And wow that is fast delivery! Whenever I order from America it takes a week to get here
I want both blushes and maybe Aurora from Daphne Guiness collection, the lip products don't look that special

Don't know if anyone's seen this, but this week's better than half price offer in Boots is the Soap & Glory Big Splendour set reduced from £60 to £25! I picked up one this morning, there's loads of good stuff in it, and absolute bargain at that price.
My Mac order is coming today, hopefully, it was dispatched last night. Also got this e-mail from Mac: "Receive FREE Standard Delivery on all Christmas Orders! CODE: XMAS11" Not sure when it expires.
Is everyone alright? I've been very busy and am knackered, TGIF. Lou, are you alright, you've not been on here in ages?!

I have absolutely loads of Soap & Glory, but I still placed an order online for the Big Splendour today. I had intended to pop into town and get one, but it was raining, then sleeting, then snowing, so I ordered online for instore collection instead. That way hopefully I can pick it up on a dry day.
I need to go out and do the food shopping today or tomorrow (preferably today) so couldn't have carried the Big Splendour as well, really.

It IS massive. I carried it home together with 4 other bags and my arms nearly broke off, lol. I've just looked in it and I actually only have the hand cream, not the other 9 things, so it's good to try them out, especially at this price!
It was raining, sleeting and snowing here too, but it's nice and sunny now. Cold, but at least dry.

My Mac order didn't come. It still says Arrived at depot on the Yodel website, it seems the courier didn't pick it up today. Boo!
Forgot to say, I went to TK Maxx again and there were only a very few sets of OPI polishes left, most of them browns, it seems people did the same as Lou and did a bit of mix n matching. One set had 3 browns in it, all the same shade!

I went to another TK Maxx today and they didn't seem to have any OPI polishes, just as well I suppose, considering the amount of polishes I've purchased in the past few months!

I didn't get the soap and glory set. From working at boots for 8 years, I have accumulated a tonne of toiletries, my bathroom cabinet is overflowing, last think I need is a massive set! No matter how good value it is!

Hi Lou!
Glad to hear your store opening went so well. Your new employers will surely be very happy.
I'd love to try the Benefit They're Real mascara too, but the price is just silly and I have loads of mascaras to get through anyway.
Forgot to mention - I went into The Body Shop on Wednesday, for the first time in ages, just to get a new vanilla body spray. I took a look at the Christmas makeup stand, and saw 'The Sparkler'. There was no stock on the stand, just one lonely tester, so I asked a sales assistant and she smiled, saying she had just one left and had put it out the back in case anyone asked for one (guess she thought this way it would go to someone who really wanted it). So I got the last one, and it was a 30% off day, too! This review says it is only in pink, but from reading the labels on the stand it looks like they also did a gold one. http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2010/12/the-body-shop-the-sparkler-review-photos-swatches.html
Hopefully off out today to do a bit more shopping. I'm still nowhere near ready for Christmas.

Hi Lou! Wow, you have been busy! Hope it calms down for you soon, but I guess the sales are coming straight after Christmas.
Actually on that note, can I ask you something Sony related? I know you don't work there anymore, so I guess you can offer an even more objective opinion. My friend was looking at a Handycam camcorder and I thought it looks pretty good and we could really do with a new camcorder as ours is about 12 years old and only records on those silly little tapes and it's pretty rubbish now anyway. Would you recommend the Handycam? We were looking at the HD one, I think it's the CX115. Thanks!

oh don't worry! i was always honest when it came to sony products and even when i did work for them i never reccomended something that i didn't think was any good! but as it turns out the cx115 is a pretty decent camcorder! the only thing that is a bit of an issue is that there is no in built memory so you then have to buy an sd card (high speed one to cope with the hd filming) which then bumps the price up. also the lens isn't really a wide angled one so you don't get as much in the shot as you do with the next model up. the one i would suggest is the cx130 because it has the wider angle as well as much better build quality. the cx115 feels really cheap whereas this one feels nicer and sturdier. In fact it is the one i'm buying when i get paid in January! I can't remember if it has any built in memory... if it does the max would be 4gb.

Thank you very much! I will check out the CX130! I didn't mean you wouldn't be honest, just wouldn't want you to get into trouble or anything, you never know who's reading if you know what I mean. Of course now you're not working for Sony, it won't be a problem anyway.
