Mine has just arrived! Love Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon, not sure about Scarlet Ibis yet, haven't tried it on, but Pink Pigeon is nowhere as loud as Candy Yum Yum, so I'm happy! :)

Also my Asos order has come, it's Paul & Joe cat collection goodies, they look cute, but not sure about the colours, especially the eyeshadows. Might send it back. Also one lipstick is a bit meh. (I ordered two.)

My order finally says 'Dispatched' :)

Morning! Has anyone received their Mac order yet? I ordered mine late afternoon on the 30th and it's still "In Process". Would be quite nice if they sent it finally since this is the second working day since I ordered! (It feels longer though, doesn't it? Also mine have only just gone back to school and this is hubby's first day back at work.)
My order despatched today so I should receive it tomorrow :)

My Debenhams order arrived today with two of my Estee Lauder Cyber Shadows in Copper and Green, both are very pretty :)
I went to Boots today and swatched the other colours, Teal is so pretty but they never had it nor the Lavender one in stock

I went shopping today, and popped into Boots on the offchance. I asked at the Estee Lauder counter, and the young girl there told me they hadn't had the lilac one in yet, but they did have teal and it was sold out. Mind you, they did only get 2 of them! She's taken my name and number and says she'll call me and hold a lilac one for me if and when they come in. I'll still keep my eye out for it appearing at House Of Fraser, though, just in case.

Oh bummer, the teal one is now sold out on the EL website. The lilac one is still showing as coming soon. Debenhams is just showing as out of stock and HoF never had those colours yet either. Why are they doing this? What is the point in having such limited quantities? Makes me not want to bother, really. :(

That doesn't bode well :( I ordered on Friday over the phone (I couldn't order online at work!) so I hope all my bits come, she said everything was showing as coming when I called earlier to check if it was being delivered soon!

It's going to be hard getting up at 7:30 next week.

7:30! I get up at 6am :-(

To be fair, I could probably get up much later if I didn't take so damn long to get ready! I need a good 20 mins or so just for makeup!

When I often don't get to bed until maybe 3:30am, then it is hard to get up at 7:30 and get my daughter up and off to school. It's my son that keeps me up - his body clock is all over the place, due to his Aspergers (we tried giving him melatonin, which apparently people with ASD don't have enough of, but it didn't do the trick).

Goodness, that does sound tough! I can definitely see why 7:30 wouldn't seem like a lie-in!! I'd be knackered.

My black box arrived :)

When I saw Red Dwarf and tried it on the back of my hand, I got worried that it would be too dark on me. It looks better on, though, as long as I don't apply it too heavily. Party Parrot is indeed bright, but it's not too bright and I love it. However, it doesn't have that MAC vanilla smell, and smells a bit weird to be honest. If anyone else gets it, can they please check if theirs is the same?

I haven't tried Narcissus yet, as I don't want to open it too soon because I have several glosses on the go at the moment, but it does look really pretty. Aurora is a very pretty, great everyday colour, which I think will get a lot of use.

It's still very windy here. I got up this morning and had to go outside and chase the contents of my bin around the driveway and pick the bin up too. Good job I didn't put it out for the bin men, or it would have all been strewn down the road instead

Just been shopping, TK Maxx has 4 different Ciolor Club polish sets for £7.99 (6 polishes plus topcoat). Weirdly no Dior collection in the Boots in Kingston or anywhere else. No EL purple or teal e/s anywhere either.

Will check my Party Parrot in a mo.

My Party Parrot smells vanilla-y and just fine. Maybe yours is off. Is it still available online? Perhaps get a replacement one.

It's sold out online, but I just phoned them and they are going to send me a replacement. I asked about Flamingo while I was at it, and they told me they had that too (so why isn't it available online??) so I've placed an order for it, since the chances of it being available at the Pro store when you go on Saturday are probably pretty slim.

Oh that's good, but how weird. I'm not that fussed about Flamingo, I'll check to see if they have it, if not, I will live without it. I'm planning on halving my beauty spending this year anyway and I have 300+ lipsticks already.

My black box also arrived :) I absolutely love Flamingo, though when I first saw I was disappointed as it seemed so bright in tube but on my lips its a soft, buildable pink with a hint of coral. Vintage grape swatches great also though I haven't tried it on yet. Really pleased with my order and I know I'll be getting alot of use out of my products :)


I just counted my lipsticks and I have bang on 50 now that I've received Flamingo! *gulp*

I now have 126 MAC lipsticks, plus lots of others from other brands - yikes! I also have 63 MAC lipglosses and assorted others. I really need to get this under control

I don't know how many Mac lipsticks I have but probably around the same as you Dawn. I also have a LOT of Guerlain, again probably the same as Mac. Plus loads of other brands (Chanel, Dior, Avon, etc.). I bought over 100 lipsticks last year and also around 60 lipglosses. I am properly crazy.
