UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[rockin]

i have no idea but i do know i'll be buying them all!

LOL, I want most, if not all of them, too. I was hoping they might be permanent so I don't have to splash out so much in one go. Fingers crossed they'll be on a 3 for 2, or at least that Boots will have a points event

They haven't come in yet at my boots, so I don't think it will be in the next month, usually thing come fairly early in this month for next. I'll keep any eye out, and let you know when I see them, but I work in the pharmacy so I'll have to keep bugging the cosmetics girls!

^ I do hope we get them, but sadly we don't get everything the US get. I remember looking around the massive cosmetic stands in Florida and they had 3 times as many products from the same brands as we do. I hate it that Lancome never released the 5-colour-eyeshadow palettes they have in the US, I picked up one when I was there, but I would love to try more of them as it's really nice, whereas most Lancome quads are a bit meh.

We didn't get that lovely Revlon Christmas collection, either, with the Decadent and Cheers lipglosses I wanted so much. I ended up buying them on ebay. Our Revlon Christmas stuff was rather boring in comparison.

^We either don't get what the states get or it comes here ages after, I remember reading about the Maybelline Gel eyeliner months before it came here

Sadly my Debenhams Mac order didn't come today. Ugh, Debenhams are being very slow this time around, maybe a lot of people are ordering with the 10% off code. Hope it comes tomorrow and then I can get the missing MES.

I'm loving the Guerlain eyeshadows that came yesterday though, I'm wearing the 6 palette today and it's really lovely. I also got the pink quad and it is absolutely gorgeous! Wish it was spring already, I don't like this cold weather.

Hope you get your MAC order soon! It seems odd that you haven't received it and I've received mine, did you place your order on thursday as well?

Thanks hun, I don't think I've felt this horrible in a while! Though it hasn't stopped me from coming on here!

I would love a series on concealers! I don't own many but the best I've tries is The Balm and Armani Corrector (if it counts)

I wanted the Guerlain Cruel Gardania but it seems to be sold out on Debenhams, hopefully the counter at Debenhams still has it...

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will get on to that project ASAP. I just pulled out all my concealers and I gave myself a serious shock...50+ concealers of all price ranges in my stash! Lollll I think it's safe to say I have a problem!

Anita22, I don't have the Bobbi Brown concealer anymore but I do have a couple of the correctors. I've never used Laura Mercier either, as the shades aren't right for me. The coverage from LM seems fab though.

Anitacska, I don't blame you for being angry, I think the least they can do is reply. Although I did once complain to Bobbi Brown about a palette that wasn't upto scratch and they didn't reply. Of course, when you don't get a reply, you get even more annoyed so I emailed them again 2 weeks later saying how disappointed I was with their CS. This time I got a letter directly from Bobbi Brown/Estee Lauder who apologised, told me they couldn't find the original email and sent me a replacement palette as way of apology. I wouldn't give up with Kiko just yet - keep pushing!

As for Cruel Gardenia, I'm so tempted to do what you have done and buy one for use and one to admire! I use my LM Illuminator and I hate seeing the petal design get worn away!

banana1234, I have terrible undereye circles so I think concealer was my first serious MU purchase! I'll let you know once I start the series =)

Alisha, getting sick is horrible. It always seems like you've never felt that bad before but as long as you rest and keep drinking, you'll be find soon, hopefully.
I think the Armani corrector definitely counts - it boosts the effectiveness of my concealers ten times over! I'll be swatching the few correctors I have as well as my concealers.
Finally, I hope you get your hands on Cruel Gardenia - it really is a thing of beauty!

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, I placed my Mac order with Debenhams on Thursday! How weird. My Tuesday one only came yesterday, took 6 days to arrive. Oh well, I'm sure it will be here tomorrow (it had better, lol).

Hope you get your MAC order soon! It seems odd that you haven't received it and I've received mine, did you place your order on thursday as well?

 

[Alisha1]

That's weird that I received my order on Monday and you still haven't! Maybe it's cause your order was larger than mine as I only ordered 2 blushes from the Naturally collection?

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, probably. I ordered 6 MES, 2 min. blushes, the eyeshadow blending brush, Chanel e/s quad and a glossimer. Still, it doesn't take that much longer to pick them up surely. I think I got the dispatch e-mail on Friday though. Maybe post is being slow this way.

What a shame about bad customer service at Kiko! What are they thinking, really?

I had to exercise my will power and order only the bits I wanted the most from the collections that came out this month.
So I bought the Cruel Gardenia Illuminator, Chanel Horizons, Dior Garden Pastels quint and 286 brush from Naturally, and I limited myself to just 2 EL Cyber eyes eyeshadows.
I am really looking forward to checking out Mac's Extra Dimension eyeshadows in comparison with the latter.

 

[Eleentje]

Oh, and I would definitely be interested in reading your reviews of various concealers, Nazia.
I am looking into investing into a cream one, because i only have the stick one from Dior, and it is not suitable for the dark circles under my eyes.

Get well, Alisha! Everyone around me seems to be sniffling and sneezing, I'm eating an orange every day to protect myself against getting ill

I also placed an order with Debenhams when the Naturally Collection came out (2 MSF and 1 lipstick) and it hasn't arrived either. Debenhams are a bit hit and miss lately. I was reading some earlier posts about when Debenhams were 'unable to fulfil' orders and the same happened to me then too. I never had a problem with them until then. I ordered one lipstick from MAC and the Turquatic perfume a day later and that's come.

Thanks! Whenever I'm ill I always have more fruit, Lol it's probably the only time of year I feel like it! I always try to have loads of water and I really do think it helps

 

[Anitacska]

Yay, I've got it! As I thought it was In The Sun missing, so I've reordered it. If they still can't send it, I'll buy it from HoF tomorrow.

Chanel Eclosion is so pretty. Can't wait to try it out. I'm wearing Guerlain Les Roses quad tomorrow. It's actually darker than it looks, especially with that gorgeous plummy shade in the crease.

Oh and I contacted KIKO again yesterday and they sent an e-mail saying they never received the photo they requested, can I resend it. I replied and said that's fine, but don't they think they should've let me know they didn't receive the photo, seeing that I have since contacted them several times. I've resent the picture, so we'll see. I still don't understand what they need the picture for. Surely they could take my word for it, I just want to return one of the shadows, nothing majr. Weird.

EDIT: Got a dispatch e-mail from Debenhams and In The Sun is "processing", the other 3 (MES duos) have been dispatched, so I think I'll pick ITS up on HoF tomorrow and if Debenhams send it anyway, I'll just return it.

Yay hope you enjoy your goodies! The other eyeshadow palette from the Guerlain collection looks great as well, I think it has 6 colours buts costs £52! I want to check it out in person first...

 

[rockin]

I wore my Soap & Glory "Thick & Fast" mascara today, that I got free with Elle Magazine (so £3.90 for a £10 mascara, as the mag itself is not my thing at all). I put it on before leaving the house at 10am, wore it through my dance class and around town, and it still looks great and, even better, hasn't flaked at all. I would definitely buy this again.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh yes, I got that as well (I would, wouldn't I, lol) and it is very nice. I wore it yesterday and it looked quite subtle, but pretty.

I ordered the Core Collection and the Kabuki brush this evening. I already have the blush brush (bought it on Cocktail Cosmetics) and it's sooo soft and fluffy! I noticed that Boots don't seem to have the Lash-Brow Groomer or the Travel Essentials Set

I really love Pixiwoo. They are so talented yet down to earth and great fun
