UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

Well I won't be ordering anything else form Mac now, I've spent nearly 300 quid! I want to check out the rest of the Sheen Supreme lipglosses as I got Imperial Red and it's lovely, and i have orered Mango Sheen as well, but in all fairness I don't need any more glosses. The same goes to TdF, pretty glosses, but don't need them.

 

[rockin]

I've spent way more than I intended, but what can you do with so many collections out at once? I must admit, Imperial Red and Mango Sheen are calling out to me, but I'm trying to resist - partly because I don't need any more glosses, and partly because I'm not so keen on the way these are packaged.

I've only spent 40,50 on my order at Debenhams, like I was planning to, but I probably spent about 300 on EL, Chanel, Guerlain and various Ebay purchases last month, plus 200 on some new clothes. I meant to be saving up for my trip to Australia in the end of this month, but, needless to say, I failed at it miserably. Hello savings account, *sigh*.
It's not helping that local stores are currently offering 25% off all make up, lol, and there will be 3 for 10 euro deal at local Sephora for their own brand of makeup.
And then April comes, which may become extremely expensive with Extra Dimension. Do you think UK will be getting it on April 3rd?

 

[Anitacska]

I thought Extra Dimension was May? No?

Eleentje, as it turns out I will be moving to the Netherlands the week after next (so not going back home after all)! Assuming my visa application is processed without any issues. I will definitely need to get your recommendations on good places to shop. Especially for makeup!

 

[Eleentje]

I love these two colours as well, they seem perfect for warmer weather (bring on the sunshine!). I will go to HoF tomorrow to play with all the new MAC stuff

No waaaaay! Wow, this is quite a change of plans! Are you glad you're going to stay in Europe, or would you rather have gone back home?
And, of course, I'll be happy to give you as much help and tips as possible!

Unfortunately, be prepared for more expensive Mac, on which they never, and I mean NEVER, give any discount, with the exception of Duty Free at Schiphol. Plus it's also less easily available, and LE items sell out in no time.

On the other hand, we have Sephora and LE items of other brands don't sell out as quickly, plus London is just 50 mins away
Which city will you be moving to?

MAC's tendertone in tread gently is still available on the Debenhams website for £9! But i think they got the name wrong, as it's named "salad dressing" on their website! i just bought it! and with the 10% off and beauty club card free shipping, only £8.10! Bargain for a tendertone!

that is most certainly a bargain! and lol at them calling it the wrong name! where did they even get salad dressing from?!

i ended up spending way more than i should have done this month. however once again i need to remember that this job pays more than my past so technically i can afford it. although really i should be saving even more for florida funds because we go in september! now i just have to wait for my packages to arrive - i bet it will be next week when they come

 

[Anitacska]

Oh, wow, that is quite a change of plan! But this way you can always pop back to meet up with us in London!

And if you ever need anything from the UK, just give me a shout, I'm sure I can always find something from Sephora for a mutual CP.

Salad Dressing is the name of one of the nail polishes, which costs £9. It's possible they've listed it with the Tendertones by mistake, so you might actually get the nail polish, not the Tendertone bargain you were hoping for.

Which city will you be moving to?

Definitely a big change of plans! Basically I had already handed in my notice at work here in the UK and had my flights to NZ booked and everything, then a couple of weeks ago a fixed term role came up at our global HQ in Utrecht. It's only for 5 months but I thought it would be nice to be able to stick around Europe for a bit longer and travel more, plus the job itself is interesting. It's all still dependent on my visa application being approved, but if all goes to plan then I start on 12th March! I will be based in Utrecht, so not far from Amsterdam at all. I've already prepared myself for MAC to be more expensive, but I hadn't quite realised until I saw your earlier post that you have Sephora there so that is good news indeed

I will keep you posted on how it all goes!

 

[Eleentje]

Ah wow! Good stuff! Fingers crossed that all goes well with your application. I'm confident it will
And Utrecht is just 30-40 mins away from here by train. I am actually going to a party in Utrecht tonight.
They do have Sephora and there is a Mac counter there too, and shopping in that city is generally nice. The city center is lovely, it's quite different from London, but I think you'll love its cute vibe If I had a choice of the places to live, Utrecht would definitely be on my list.

Oh, and before you get all excited, our Sephoras don't carry as many brands as its French and American sisters, but they do have all the main brands, including MUFE and Urban Decay, and their own brand, of course. And our Mac Pro is tiiiiiiny, but MUAs are really sweet and not snotty at all. Anyways. before I get carried away, feel free to pm me or add me on facebook, if you'd like to go on a shopping trip together or need any advice

Anitacska, feel free to ask me as well, if you need a CP. In fact, I'm planning to go there either tomorrow or next week Saturday to check out some MUFE, since they're doing this discount thing, and check out their own brand stuff before their 3 for 10 sale on the 21st, as I'd have to be like a ninja, when I get there: grab what I need and run, or this happens:

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks Elena. I don't need anything right now, but sometimes Urban Decay and Too Faced have Sephora exclusive palettes, so I will keep your kind offer in mind. And although I know you come to the UK often, but if there's anything you'd like me to get for you, just give me a shout! xxx

sorry if this is the wrong thread - does anyone know of a free delivery code for the nars site? can't bring myself to spend £6 for delivery!

 

[Alisha1]

Salad Dressing is the name of one of the nail polishes, which costs £9. It's possible they've listed it with the Tendertones by mistake, so you might actually get the nail polish, not the Tendertone bargain you were hoping for.

^This happened with the Dior Holiday collection last year, Debenhams listed the nail polishes with the lipsticks, even on the despatch form they where listed as lipsticks but I received the polishes which I wanted so all was good

I ended up skipping all the MAC collections! Which is good as I definitely don't need anymore...

i called up and they said it was indeed the nail polish and not the tendertone

Can you get the product you want from ASOS? They have a free delivery option!

Or try HQHair, I can't remember if they also have free delivery but if not they often have codes.
If you have a House of Fraser nearby you can also have things delivered to store for free.

I've been to Utrecht very briefly once before, I agree it is very cute, I remember a lot of cafes and canals

. Don't worry I was not anticipating too much from Sephora, that is great that they carry MUFE though! I will keep you posted on how it goes, assuming all goes to plan I will drop you a line when I am there

. I'm very excited about coming over!
