UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I love freebies! I opened a mystery package in the post, and found I'd got free full-size shampoo and conditioner from L'Oreal. It was from one of those things where you just enter the draw and so many get the goodies. I got the Eversleek Sulfate-Free Smoothing System ones

Yesterday, I also found out I'd won a Travalo atomiser via Travalo's Facebook page, which I'm quite chuffed about. Just waiting now for them to email me for my address. I couldn't believe it when I saw my name come up lol.

Congrats! Yesterday must have been a good day for everyone as I got my Jo Malone candle which I was sent as the one I purchased had tunnelled. I got to keep my other one and I used it a few days ago and with a bit of tweaking it still works!

I got this set too! I was anxious at first thinking I'd been ordering stuff in my sleep! A nice little surprise.

I've also been given lots of RAOK lately which is really nice - I want to repay the favours though.

Has anyone seen those new L'Oreal lipsticks, Caresse? I got 301 Dating Coral and it's lovely!

MUA at Superdrug have a few new shades in their £1 lipstick range. I picked up a bright peach and a orange shade last week. They seem pretty decent for the price.

Max Factor have also brought those Flip Lipstick things out that Covergirl have in the US - I got Gipsy Red.

L'oreal also have a new Lumi Magique Foundation, Primer and Highlighter collection out. I got the foundation around 2 weeks ago but I'm still to try it!

I'm trying to curb my spending (again!) so the only thing I really want now are the liquid blushes from Guerlain, so I hope we do get them in the UK!

Estee Lauder CS is fab - but what do you mean by tunnelling?

 

[rockin]

So glad they replaced it for you, Alisha1

I have a pillar candle which has 'tunnelled' and I don't know what to do about it. I bought it ages ago, and only recently decided to light it.

 

[rockin]

LOL, Nazia - I enter draws and forget about them, too. When I received the box I was trying hard to think what I had ordered that might have come in a box that size lol.

 

[Anitacska]

I contacted Debenhams about the blushes and they said they'll have them up later this week.

EDIT: They're up now! If you buy two beauty products you get 10% off! (Good excuse to buy both blushes, eh?)

As if we need an excuse to buy more than one thing lol

 

[nazia]

Thank you!

Hmm, £56 (£50.40 with the 10% off) is quite a lot to spend on blushes without even swatching them first! I better hold back for now.

Also, I just wanted to share details of my bargainous day yesterday - believe me, things like this NEVER happen to me!

Firstly, I noticed an odd charge on my internet banking statement. I'd been charged a lot of money for some power tools! I'm not exactly into DIY so I know it wasn't me sleepshopping! So I had to sort that out with my bank. Thankfully, they were great and have sorted it out immediately.

Secondly, I had to pop to the shops to pick up some hair dye (had highlights done at a top salon...and they look awful. Blah!) and ended up picking up a few different purchases, including a cheeky lipstick. Cos I'm low on cash right now, I was being as frugal as possible, using vouchers, etc.
I get to the register and hand the SA my vouchers...and somehow £30 worth of stuff comes out at £2.38!!! Then I had a few gift vouchers for doing a survey so my whole bill came to £0.38p! PLUS I got Boots points worth £3.30 on my rewards card!

It was a bit of a nutty money day - but I'm so chuffed about my savings! Sorry for going on - wanted to share =)

It was a little crazy, but a lovely treat =)

 

[rockin]

Don't you just love it when Boots effectively pay you to take the goods away! lol. I love it when Boots have glitches etc

Glad the bank sorted out that issue quickly for you.

Clinique Chubby Sticks for eyes, anyone?

I've yet to try the lip ones!!

 

[rockin]

So it might work if I light the candle for a while to hopefully soften the 'walls' a bit then fold them inwards perhaps? Or do you think I'd be better off trimming it down level? It's a candle I got from Sainsburys, but not sure if it was their own brand. It's 3 stripes of differently fragranced colour, and it has barely burnt through the top 'layer' so far. I think it's vanilla, hazelnut and chocolate, or something like that.

I currently have a Yankee Candle wax melt going - Candied Apple mmmmm. I have to say, Yankee's own unfragranced tealights do a far better job than Sainsburys basic tealights in the tart burner - the whole tart melts, and not just the centre. The Sainsburys ones left the tart all uneven when it cooled

 

[rockin]

LOL, I've yet to buy a lip Chubby Stick. I swatched a couple a while back, but didn't have the money at the time.

^I never have enough money to go around all brands! MAC, Chanel, Guerlain and Dior are my favourite brands and it's hard to spend money on other brands! I sometimes decide to skip an essential item for makeup, I've been meaning to buy another Clinique sunscreen for ages now!

 

[rockin]

Great advice, thanks Alisha1

I've been getting a few of my Yankee wax tarts, votives (or samplers as they're sometimes called) and scented tealights from Clinton Cards, as they have had some of them reduced by 50% or even more when I've gone in over the past few months. I now have a nice supply of Cherries On Snow tarts and candles, Sweet Strawberry candles, and boxes of Lilac Blossom and Vanilla Satin tea lights, as well as various other scents, but only in 1s or 2s of those. I got a nice Jack Frost tart burner and tarts on ebay for a good price recently, too, and some Halloween votives and a spider shaped tealight holder at a garden centre for less than half price. Worth looking out for out of season ones to put away.

I went into Clinton Cards yesterday to get a birthday card, and the lady at the till said "No Yankee Candles today?" lol. Oops, I guess I'm a frequent visitor.

I'm feeling very lucky again today. A couple of days ago I saw that the seller that sent me the freebie eye kohl had listed Parrot eyeshadow. I've never had anything 'dodgy' from them, and so took a chance at £10 with free postage.

It's just arrived, and it looks to be absolutely legit, and it's beautiful! They sent more freebies, too (they send freebies every time) and this time it was quite decent sized samples of Bell Bottom Blue pigment and Jewel Marine Glitter (I've been lemming that one for ages). I've had mini lipglasses, and all sorts from them before as freebies - not always MAC (got a Victoria's Secret blush once, and another brand of lipgloss another time)

That's great I love freebies!

I saw the guerlain collection face to face today and the In The Sun powder is pretty but not very unique, the blushes however are to die for! They are so pretty but I have to pass them up! Hopefully they won't sell well and I'll find them on sale in a few months...!

Is it an eBay seller? If so I would appreciate it if you could share their link, they sound like a great seller! Thanks!
