UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I had a really busy day yesterday, so didn't make it on here. I went to Guildford and picked up the Shiseido lipstick and EL summer powder, but unfortunately they didn't have the eyeshadow palette. Oh well, I'll get it form Debenhams later. I also couldn't find the Models Own Ibiza Mix polish. Wanted to test out the new Sleek liners, but they had no testers, so didn't get those either. I was actually doing so well not buying anything until I went to Topshop and picked up 4 nail polishes and two eyeliners, and then went to TKMaxx and found these cool Nails Inc polish sets: 3 for £11.99 and 4 for £14.99. Really funky colours as well. I also found a bit of a weird Color Club set which was reduced to £3 because it only had 5 polishes, but they weren't even from the same set, one was from the Mistletoe one which I already have, but there were 2 other glitter ones and a flakie one which is really gorgeous, it's called Covered In Diamonds which is again from an entirely different set. Plus there was a base/top coat. Weird. I've applied the flakie on top of No 7 Vivid Violet and it's so pretty, I'll post pictures later.

I have a rotten sore throat and feel really yuck today, but need to go to Tesco sadly. The weather's been really weird lately, we had a massive hailstorm/snowstorm on Thursday, big rainstorm yesterday, and we keep getting these awesome double rainbows! I took this photo yesterday.

It was even better in real life. But if you click on the picture and enlarge it, you can actually see where it touches the ground!

I don't like mattes, so I'm safe then. Actually I'm a bit over Sleek palettes now, I have so many of them and so many are brights, I don't know what to do with them.

My kids found a song on YouTube about a "double rainbow all the way across the sky" some time ago, and I have heard it almost daily since then, sometimes many times a day. I'd rather see one than hear someone sing about one any day

I agree completely. The price of it isn't attractive at all but I really do love how the Alex and Malm look beside each other. Absolutely beautiful. I've filled all but 3 drawers so still have some growing room thankfully! I think if I run out I'll get the mini Alex's which are 5 drawers instead of another 9 one and see if I can fit it under the Malm.

I have the smaller Alex (5 drawer one) and I've only filled two up with makeup! One drawer has my jewellery and the other two drawers hold miscellaneous stuff. Most of my makeup is on top of my Alex drawer in Muji drawers but I don't like having it out anymore and I need to find another way to store it :/

I know we will be getting MAC Hey Sailor and So Reel/Reel Sexy
I'm not sure about Fashion Sets and the Ruffian collection but I believe the latter will be released in June

Thank you hun =)

Hmm...so many pretty things being released and not enough money! So far I've managed to figure out that I want 1, 2 or 3 items from all of these summer collections!:

- MAC Hey Sailor! 5/6 items!
- MAC Reel Sexy 1 Cremesheen Gloss
- Giorgio Armani 2 ETKI
- Chanel 1 Eyeliner
- Dior 3 items
- NARS 3 items
- YSL 2 palettes
- Paul and Joe 1 lipgloss....

...I need to cull some items methinks!

Oh and I forgot to add that I have the opportunity to purchase some Addiction (gorgeous Japanese brand) at retail price as opposed to stupidly marked up prices...so of course I have to get 4 of those e/s!

Why do they make makeup so pretty?!

 

[PeachTwist]

Well see now you're making me feel like I have loads, haha... especially as my Malm drawer is full too. My Alex isn't technically all make-up though. It's nail polish, palettes, hair stuff/electricals, lush stuff, extra cotton pads, tools etc. So technically I don't have tons, haha.

Yeah I don't like having all mine out at all. I like it nicely put away - hopefully you'll think of something you like.

I'm STILL having issues with my eyes creasing and I can't figure it out. TFSI & UDPP. I guess I'm gonna have to splurge and try the NARS one soon. I'm so annoyed with it, though. I really wish I could get it to stop. :/ I do however seem to have - touch wood - gotten my face under control slightly with a new primer I'm trying. Have to try it a few more times though to be sure.

 

[Alisha1]

Yep I'm going to free up sometime and clean through my stash one day!

I wore an eyeshadow today and after a few hours it creased with no base :/ UDPP works for me the best but I would recommend trying out the NARS primer at the counter first if you are near one just to see if it works as it is quite pricey!

I was just making a list of everything I want from the summer collections also!

So far I want
3 items from NARs
3 items from Dior
4 items from Guerlain
1 item from Estee Lauder
3 items from Chanel but not including blushes or nail polishes which I need to see more swatches off!

And I've lost track of how many items I want from Hey Sailor but I'm going to need to shorten my list as I can't get everything! lol plus I think the Chanel, Dior and Estee Lauder collection will be coming out around the same time as Hey Sailor!!

Summer collections are just lovely aren't they? Thankfully I'm not a huge bronzer fan so I can skip those but otherwise...so.many.pretty.colours!

I love this years summer collections its going to be soooo hard to shorten my lists but I really have to especially for Hey Sailor (which I keep calling Surf Baby!) I'm going to try not Spending over £50 on that collection!

No makeup for me for a couple of days at least. I went to the doctor at midday, ended up in A&E and am now in the Medical Assessment Unit at the hospital pending further tests I'm not even allowed to walk to the loo - they have to take me in a wheelchair.

Won't be on here for long, either, as I'm using a mobile dongle, which isn't cheap.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh no! What's wrong with you? Hope you get better soon! xxx

At the moment they're suspecting heart damage or a clot on the lung I'll be having a CT scan later today

 

[Anitacska]

Oh my god, that is so scary. I'm thinking of you lots, really hope it's nothing and you'll be back home soon. xxx

Yep. UDPP used to work perfectly for me - now it doesn't. I bought TFSI on buyapowa so I didn't pay full price and that doesn't work either. I don't have a NARS counter anywhere near me though to try it out so I don't know what else I can do. For some reason my eyes are just producing tons of oil and they refuse to allow a primer to work, it's upsetting as any make-up I do feels like a waste as it turns to crap within a couple hours.

Fingers crossed it's sorted out soon! x

 

[rockin]

Thanks, everyone. I've still not had the scan, but I've had more blood tests, and I'm needle-phobic. Got some lovely bruises on my hands from it My parents and my kids came to see me today, though

I've been told I could be here another 3 or 4 days. Expecting some makeup I bought here on Specktra, and there'll be nobody at home to sign for it or open the door to the postie.

I'm needle-phobic too so I can sympathise. Fingers crossed for you. Nice you got some visitors though, that always helps cheer you up when in hospital.

3 or 4 days? Eesh. Could you not ask someone to put a note on your door asking to hold all packages due to being in hospital unable to sign for them? Just a thought so they hopefully don't get sent back or anything.
