UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[LMD84]

so i know this isnt exactly a lot of notice, but if anyone's on here, i'm wearing an orange top for my birthday do tonight, what eye make up should i wear? navy?

ooohh happy birthday sweetie! i hope you had a fabulous evening!

 

[Eleentje]

Happy birthday, Alana and congrats on the new job, Justine!
And I'm looking forward to seeing new vids from you, Lou!

I think it would be more logical if Extra Dimension was coming out in April in the UK, rather than May, because Hey, Sailor is coming out in the beginning of May, and I would expect Mac to want to release it separately from other collections in order to give it full attention. You never know though, after them releasing 9 collections in one go, anything is possible.

How do you get Boots vouchers books, and how come everyone gets a different one?

i didnt go for navy in the end, i did a lana del rey type eye make up, defined crease, thicker eyeliner, lashes, it was a nice change, i havent done anything like that before! but my eyes always water whenever i wear lashes now, its so annoying. does anyone else get this?

congrats on the job justine

if i remember rightly sometimes the summer collections get a bit jumbled, last year we got surf baby before the spring inspired collection (i cant remember what that was called) flowers were imprinted on all the products

I haven't received a Boots booklet (yet) this time. I usually get ones for points when I spend way more than I ever would in one transaction, along with the double points one and ones for points or money off of things I would never buy. Occasionally, though, I get ones for a spend of £30 or so, which I always use.

 

[Anitacska]

Does anyone know where you can (if you can) buy Wet n Wild nail polish in the UK (other than eBay)? I was looking at Scrangie's website yesterday and a gorgeous glitter polish set caught my eye, but they are $6.99 each on eBay instead of $3 (which is what they cost in the US) plus $13 postage. They are very similar to the China Glaze Prismatic ones actually and those I can get for $4.99 each, so might just go with those instead. Hmm...

 

[rockin]

Our Boots had all the Lip Butters in today! They are on 3 for 2 (mix and match) so I got 3, using my points

It was lovely to be able to walk into town without a coat on today

 

[rockin]

I'm surprised at just how pigmented 'Raspberry Pie' Lip Butter is. I have it on now

 

[Anitacska]

I've picked up 3 of the lip butters in Boots today: Lollipop, Candy Apple and Sweet Tart. My local Boots doesn't stock all the colours, but Superdrug does, however they don't have a 3 for 2 offer on right now. I will go to Kingston on Thursday or Friday and see if I can pick up 3 more. I want Raspberry Pie too.

I am so happy, my Cherry Culture order has just come and I didn't have to pay any customs fee on it, they marked it with a $16 value! Woohoo! I got lots of Milani stuff: 6 holographic nail polishes, 4 baked blushes and 4 lipglosses that are just like the Mac Dare to Wear ones. All in all £60 with shipping, not bad really.

 

[rockin]

I love it when sellers mark a lower value on the parcel so it gets through customs without extra charges One seller I have bought from even writes that nail polishes are jars, possibly to get around rules about sending nail polish through the post.

With the Lip Butters, I got Raspberry Pie, Macaroon and Candy Apple.

 

[Anitacska]

I want Raspberry Pie, Macaroon and Strawberry Shortcake.

Yeah, I got some marked as dappen dishes (whatever those are). I was most impressed with Cherry Culture because they're a company, not a private seller and I never even expected them to mark it with a low value.

I also just got 7 Color Club nail polishes I ordered from eBay and they are so pretty! It's the same seller who sells the China Glaze glitter polishes that I want to order next, so I will go ahead and order, they are very trustworthy.

Oh and while on nail polishes, check out the new collections China Glaze is coming out with: http://www.chicprofile.com/ Love the duochrome ones, they will be mine (insert evil cackling).

Debenhams has the new Estee Lauder Pure Colour Blushes, I saw them on Karen's blog, they seem very pigmented. Might have a swatching session soon, although I really don't need any more blushes especially not at £24 each (ouch)!

I will be trying to avoid looking at the Estee Lauder blushes, especially with all the new blushes MAC is putting out next month (and I will possibly be buying a backup of Pink Cult, as it seems to be my 'go to' blush)

 

[Anitacska]

I never got Pink Cult, it just didn't do anything for. It came out with Jeanius didn't it? Everyone was raving about it, but to me it was a bit meh. I got Overdyed instead.

Off topic: I'm so happy, just had a call, my eldest daughter got into our first choice secondary school. We'd been on the waiting list for 3 weeks, but finally got a place offered! Yay!!! It's an excellent school, it goes right up to 18, so she can do her A levels there too. The one she initially got into only goes up to 16 and she'd have to cross a busy bridge to get there.

[rockin]

Congratulations! It's such a relief if they get their school of choice, isn't it?

 

[rockin]

Wow, I've just received an email about the Vera collection. Talk about slow!

 

[Anitacska]

Lol, me too. At least most things are still in stock. I'm guessing they might not be selling too well, but then that's what happens when you release 9 collections at once.

 

[amy_forster]

Yeah, I got some marked as dappen dishes (whatever those are).

Dappen dishes are somethine used in the beauty industry They're often used for acrylic liquid when doing acrylic nails or to mix tint in when tinting lashes or brows They come in glass so nail polish would sound very similar in the post

 

[toobusytostitch]

Wow - thanks for this - really useful!

I don't see most adverts, because I use Firefox and have the 'Adblock Plus' add-on. It even does away with the annoying ads on Youtube videos

 

[Anitacska]

^ Yes thank you, those adverts were beginning to annoy me big time since I was trying to listen to music on the computer at the same time.

Glad it's worked for you. Someone on the ebay forums told me about it, after I got annoyed with a particular ad that made a doorbell sound every time my mouse pointer got near it. You only realise just how good it is when you then have to use Internet Explorer and ads bug the hell out of you.
