I've been using my sample of Perfection Lumiere for the past few days and I like it but I'm not sure I love it, especially for the price :/ My HG Estee Lauder Double wear is £10 cheaper for the same amount of product! I think it will be great fr summer though cause it feels uber light :)

Anywho has anyone been lucky enough to catch an early glimpse of the Chanel spring collection? I went to every counter over the weekend but had no luck! *Impatient*

I haven't been near a Chanel counter for over a week. :( When is the collection coming out, Thursday or Friday?

It was supposed to be the 27th (Friday) here, but they released it a week early in Brown Thomas, probably a mini-exclusive or something. Not out in debenhams yet, not that I've seen anyway/

Thanks. :) I'll go to the counter and swatch everything, then I'll order from Boots online as I have a 750 point voucher if I spend over £75 which is not hard with Chanel.

What's on your list? I'm thinking definitely the blush, probably the eyeshadow quad and maybe a lipstick or two. I need to have a look at them first, although I vaguely recall really liking one when I saw T's swatches.

Finally, I've managed to order the teal and lilac Estee Lauder Cyber Eyes eyeshadows from the EL website (in case anyone else wants them, hurry!). I asked everywhere, checked every website pretty much every day, had my name down at 4 counters, and they were never available. Finally, I got them, yippeee! :D (Well, of course they still need to be delivered, but you know...)

I'm only getting the blush and June and April nail polishes this friday. I have to see everything else in person but I'm only getting what I know will sell out super fast first!

I rang Boots and they were kind enough to send me a voucher booklet but none of the vouchers are worth it compared to Debenhams 500 points with purchases over £30 (I never received a 750 points voucher)

Also I went to Debenhams over the weekend and saw a duo of UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original/Sin for £22 so I snapped it up! Great value as both of them are full size :)

I'm not bothering with the nail polishes, they're not that special to me. I prefer cheaper brans like Zoya, OPI and China Glaze anyway. But the blush is a MUST!

Just to let you all know, I've finally got around to sorting through all my pigments and I have another 17 for sale. Before I put them up on my blog, I thought I'd let you know in case anyone wants them. I have the following: New Fixation, Follow Your Fancy, Prtylicious, Madly Personal, Kelly Green, Moonlight Night, Emerald Dusk, The Family Crest, Starless Night, Blue Storm, Pink Pearl, Steel Blue, Chartreuse, Old Gold, Gold Stroke, Lithe, Mauvement. All of them are new jars, most are 2/3 to 3/4 full, some even more than that, Mauvement is BNIB. Prices between £10 and £15. Pm me if you're interested in any of them. :)

I finally managed to stop by Selfridges to see if they had the NARS spring collection in yet, unfortunately they did not. Also my willpower totally broke down and I bought a Bobbi Brown lipstick (Creamy lipcolor in Burnt Sugar) and lipgloss (High Shimmer Gloss in Naked Plum). They've been on my wishlist for ages, and as I'm moving somewhere where BB is completely overpriced I cracked...!

Oh well, they are both lovely nudes so I will get a lot of wear from them at least.

Anita, let me know how much you want for Emerald Dusk! I'll take it off ya.

Phewwww, finally got around to post on Specktra, as everything has been so hectic for the past few weeks.
Ladies who were at the meet, it was a great pleasure! I must apologize that at times I seemed to be a bit out of it, as I was still tired after a week long of partying with my friends!
I've caught the "must have the hard to track Cyber eyes e.s" bug from you, Anita, LOL :) So looks like I need to get ordering on EL website pronto. We are not even getting those here, it seems. At least, none of the Dutch blogs mention even one word about them :S I was hoping I could get my paws on them at DF, but alas.

Have you seen Debenhams 10% off beauty deal? Although you do have to get your hands on Daily Mail to get the code :S

Just checked Martin Lewis's (Money Saving Expert) website and the 10% off beauty at Debenhams code is RX37. Valid until Friday 10th February. There's also a 20% code for other things and that's TH96.

Thanks for letting us know, I was completely unaware of this. :)

The EL cyber eyes are still up on the EL website, although now the green, pink and copper are showing as sold out, but the teal and lilac are in stock.

On that note, I received my Kiko order today and I got 4 of their Water Shadows that remind me of the EL and Tesco ones, I haven't swatched them yet, want to take pictures for my blog first. Unfortunately they managed to mess up the otder and sent me a purple ones instead of a taupe (I ordered a purple one as well, so now I have two and no taupe). As they're based in Italy, the order came from Italy, so not sure how the exchange is gonna go. They don't have any phone numbers, just e-mail, but hopefully they'll get back to me soon.

Anita, let me know how much you want for Emerald Dusk! I'll take it off ya.

I was so sure I'd be able to skip these, but then I absentmindedly swatched them and suddenly I HAD to have the Green. Lol. So it found it's way home with me. They just glimmer so beautifully!

I also LOVE the new lip products in the Clarins Spring Collection - they're seriously nice. I've already got 2 of the new glosses and the pink liquid blush. I'll review them soon.

What collections are we waiting on now then? When are they all out?

Thank you! I've now ordered some too :) I know Boots said they would hold a lilac for me when they eventually come in, but I didn't want to take the risk that they didn't get any at all. I'm sure they won't have any problem selling it if it does come in. I'm not much of a blue, green or teal wearer, so I opted for lilac and silver

Yay, for everyone getting the EL eyeshadows! :)

I also got a couple of things from Clarins, the new gloss in Pomegranate and the lipstick in Poppy Red I think it's called. I wasn't even planning to, just had to once I swatched them. :)

I have just seen pictures of the Bobbi Brown collection, I want both shimmer bricks.
