I am so chuffed with it because the way it works with my skin undertones, it really evens out my skin even with a light coverage and I only use 1.5 pumps!! Seriously impressed with it!i bought it today too! i absolutely love it. i had tried it out throughout last week because i was given some rather generous samples of the foundation. it lasts a long time on the skin and the coverage is perfect. and i do agree that using a brush is better than fingers. my vl aqua works better when applied with fingers but this is a very different formula

I never got a Boots booklet! The only one I have (ever got) was from before christmas and all the coupons have expired!

Oh also forgot to say I got another Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation sample in a lighter shade so I hope it matches! Can't try it out in the next few days though as I woke up today to a red blotchy goose-bumpy looky face :/ Thank goodness my EL Double Wear foundation covered it all up but I think I'm going to lay off the makeup for the next few days if it continues!

You got really good vouchers. I got two 500 points if you spend over £50 and a 750 points if you spend over £75 online, and I think a double points one. If it was up online, I'd order and then get the rest at the counter, but it's not, so I think I will just go to the counter tomorrow.
I've noticed that the teal EL Cyber eyeshadow is back in stock on the EL website but now the lilac one is showing as sold out. I would get the teal, but not at £3.95 postage cost, thank you. I asked in my local little Debenhams today and the lady said she was pretty sure she wasn't geting any more in, she never had the teal and lilac ones, so I don't know if I'll ever get my hands on them. I really don't understand how this is good for EL.
Have you seen the news about the Vera Neumann collection on the Early Buzz thread? So pretty!
I saw the Clarins collection today and I really like Poppy Red lipstick and Pomegranate lipgloss, I might just get those as well as the Dior stuff.

I've never had a voucher for bonus points online. This time I got 2 £3.50 worth of points when you spend £35 or more instore vouchers, 200 points when you buy Soap & Glory cosmetics , the usual double points voucher and £2 off any Sally Hansen Nail Treatment product. I prefer the special 8 or 10 points per £ days instore, where there's no minimum spend requirement

I just searched for the Vera Neumann collection - looks like it has potential! I'm actually really looking forward to a few releases from MAC this year, I just hope they have a collaboration and they release special packaging goodies! At first I wasn't bothered about special packaging but I guess I'm just remembering the Wonder Woman collection which was released this time last year!Have you seen the news about the Vera Neumann collection on the Early Buzz thread? So pretty!
Oh also I wore Chanel Dragon RAL outside for the first time today! Well I sheered it out but it still was a very intense! I put some gloss on top and it looked okay
Definitely will be wearing it again!

Oh no!! I saw both of those in stock online the latter part of last week and remembered what you said about postage so didn't say anything!! So sorry!! I'll keep a look out and keep asking at the counters near me x

I've just been on the phone to MAC about the replacement Party Parrot they were supposed to be sending me. The Flamingo I ordered the same day arrived several days ago. She checked the records and said that Party Parrot was out of stock and a refund was authorised on the 13th Why did they tell me they had it in stock, then??
The lady I spoke to told me that Morange was the only Iris Apfel lipstick left, and I told her it was probably because of it being a permanent colour that many people already had, or they decided to get the LE lipsticks first. She was totally unaware that Morange was a permanent colour or had ever been out before. told She was also unaware that the blush ombres had ever been out before as well as the blonde and redhead MSFs and was very surprised when I told her what collection they had been in before. Naturally is definitely scheduled for February, by the way.
I told her that Ripe Peach was the blush ombre that lots of people were hoping for a repromote of, and she said she would pass that on.

SpaceNK appear to have updated their sale, there are lots of lovely sets going for half price including last year's Laura Mercier Silk Road palette for spring (my favourite palette of 2011) if anyone's interested.
Just realised that the NARS spring collection seems to be online only at the moment (at least according to the email that came from them today), so I guess I won't be swatching it when I go to London tomorrow after all :-(

I went to Boots to get my Dior bits today, ended up getting the two quints and the purple trio. I also picked up the Clarins Poppy Red lipstick and Grenadine lipgloss. I got around £16 worth of points in the end I think.
I asked at every EL counter, but no teal and lilac. Apparently the collection is only out until the 28th. EL did post this on their Facebook page, so maybe there's still hope: "Hi Anita, thanks for your comment and apologies that you haven't been able to get hold of these shades. We have been experiencing delays with the shipments of certain shades in the collection which has meant not all customers can purchase. We can assure you that more stock is on its way and thank you for your patience. Please email us at the dedicated email address: [email protected] if you'd like to discuss further. Thanks again and have a lovely evening."
On that note, I was writing my review on the few Kiko bits I got in October and checked the Kiko website for prices, etc., and I noticed they have a sale on. They also have eyeshadows similar to the EL Cyber Eyes, called Water Shadows, they're currently half price, so I ordered a few, and they have both a purple and teal one, I'll be interested to see what they're like. I'm happy with the things I got from them before and I know Nazia loves them too, so hopefully they're good.
Night night! x

Fingers crossed EL restock both shadows! Let us know how you get on with the Dior eyeshadow palettes, I read Temptalia's review on one of the quints and I was so close to cave! But I really don't think the shades will work on me, I may consider the green trio though

I don't know if I'll be able to ruin the design on those gorgeous Dior quints anytime soon, lol, but we'll see. Have you swatched the green trio in person? I didn't like that, it seemed very sheer and not at all pigmented. I do love the purple one though.
I haven't even bought that much yet, well, not that much by my standards anyway. Ugh, but I really need to slow down and try to actually use up some things. I've put myself on a perfume no buy until I use up at least 5 (I have nearly 50 bottles, mostly unused), and I'm trying to really restrict the number of nail polishes, eyeliners, mascaras, lipglosses and lipsticks too. But when it comes to gorgeous eyeshadows like EL and Dior, and the Mac mineralize ones, I just can't resist.
Oh bummer, I've already reached my monthly budget I set out for myself for this year and it's only the 18th.
