UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Thank you, Eleentje, I did think it was a kohl eye pencil, but I wasn't sure It's rather nice for a freebie.

I've had mini MAC lipglosses, and all sorts as freebies before

I think I'd be a bit dubious about that Chanel lipstick, seeing what a big difference there is in the height of the tube. Is it perhaps from a different year, and packaging was a bit different then? I'd be inclined to take it to a Chanel counter and ask to compare it with another in the same colour if possible, to verify whether it's genuine.

I placed my second order with Debenhams today (Cherry Fest sheen supreme, Black Line and Lord It Up pearlglides) and both today's and yesterday's orders have been dispatched.

You might even get them tomorrow, as the posties work on Saturdays

Cherry Fest is the other lipgloss I had considered, but I already have Mango Sheen and Imperial Red, and spent so much on the other collections this time around.

i also ordered more pearl-glides today!! But haven't received dispatch email yet I ordered shades in petrol Blue, Lord it up and undercurrent ^^" was tempted to get the purple one too!

I got a free eye pencil with a purchase from one of my trusted ebay sellers, who has always sent me the real deal, and also sends a free gift every time. This pencil, they tell me, is a 'MAC genuine industry sample' and as such there is nothing at all written along the length of the pencil. The lid (which is a black sparkly one like I've seen on some MAC items) has a sticker on it with the name 'Jealous' and some letters and numbers. I would love to know whether that was the final name, or a working name, and if so what it ended up being. It looks like an emerald green type of colour in the pencil, but when swatched on my hand it looks quite a bit darker.

Does anyone know where I can find out?

hhmm is it a kohl pencil? you don't think it is mystery do you? that looks green however it comes off as a blackened green.

 

[Anitacska]

I've just received my first Debenhams order, this is the fastest they've ever been - 2 days from ordering! The Guerlain Sun In The City powder is really gorgeous, prettier than I thought. It has a wavy surface that you can't see in the promo pictures. Oh wow! I've also got Asian Butterfly sheen supreme, but haven't tried it yet. I'm sure it works though.

Theres no real height difference its just that everytime I open Chanel Mademoiselle the gold circle tube which is holding the lipstick comes out with it - not completely and it does pop back in but I am afraid it might one day come off completely.

I think the photo below shows it perfectly, I can push the gold tube thingy back in to make it look exactly like a normal Rouge Coco so it may just be faulty packaging :/ but I'm not going to try my luck with them again...I think most if not all of their products do come from the 'grey' market like the article BritishBeautyBlogger wrote about


I love fantasy fire, just took photos of it but it keeps turning blue when it's clearly a purple!

Purple nail polish is incredibly hard to photograph, always turns blue. I tend to use my camera phone that gives better colour, but even so.

My husband says he reckons I have about £3000 worth of make up. I daren't tell him it's a few times that amount... Oops!

I was thinking that with all the money I've spent on makeup I could've bought a Chanel bag! Well in 4 days its going to be a month since I've purchased any makeup! (I've decided the Maxfactor nail polish doesn't count)

I hate to think how much I have spent. I think my husband would go into shock if he knew how much it was all worth!

Yesterday I was waiting around in London while the Dutch embassy processed my work visa (it took all day) so I went on a little shopping trip. I went to check out Kiko, they have their spring collection out now so I got a cream blush stick in a peachy coral shade. They have quite a few new eyeshadow palettes out too.

I also went to Selfridges, and a girl at the Trish McEvoy counter persuaded me to sit down for an eye makeover. I've never been interested in their products much before, but I have to say they are quite lovely. I bought a Beauty Emergency Card (linky!) eyeshadow palette (it's the size of a credit card and will be great for travelling!). I also got a Gel Eyeliner Pencil and eye primer. I'd love to get one of her makeup planners, but they're pretty expensive!

Tomorrow I fly to the Netherlands, to start my new job on Monday, so wish me luck!

 

[anita22]

I think someone was asking about free shipping from NARS the other day? They now have free shipping on for orders over £30.

@rockin: That is a pretty nice free gift!! I think the only free gift I've ever gotten from an Ebay seller was some nail decals once.

Thanks! Yes they look perfect for travelling. I have half a mind to buy one next time I am back in London, but we'll see - if I do that I can imagine spending a fortune on filling the thing (sort of like how every time I get an empty MAC pro palette I have an overwhelming urge to fill it as soon as possible!)

I know what you mean! I don't think I've ever been to a Trish McCoy counter! Although that's probably for the best!

Good luck with your new job and life sweetie! I am sure you will settle down quickly and enjoy things Please keep us updated on how everything is going though

Alana thanks for writing down your eating plan! You are doing so well and my eating plan is reasonably similar to yours Although I have started having meat free options for things recently to add some variety to me constantly eating chicken or fish i'm funny and don't really like beef or pork so have limited options! I managed to lose quite a bit of weight last week and am really happy - 2.5 stone down! Only 4.5 more stone to go! On the plus side i can't eat big portions like i used to so my stomach has obviously shrunk and i know when to stop eating - before i'd eat until i was ready to pop. plus drinking loads of water really does help matters

sorry i have been a bit absent lately ladies. work has been so busy - ipad 3 launching this week so i have had to do lots of prep and such for that. we are going to have people quing outside the shop for it so i shall take pics because it will be so weird but exciting! and of course i am getting an ipad myself yay!!
