UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

By the way - this may sound weird... But has anyone ever quite literally DREAMED of make-up?  Last night I was thinking about wearing Heroine l/s today... and I'd asked on the Reel Sexy thread how some wear it.. I woke up at 1am after dreaming about different ways to wear it and recall watching a video on youtube in my sleep... it was an actual tutorial, and all I remember is that it was purple and seemed so real. I think I have a problem.  :|

yep, last night i dreamed that i went into the mac in selfridges with my dad(?!) to get watch me simmer but they were sold out so i was really upset and then i woke up in sweats :L i told my friends and they agree that i have a problem LOL

I went into Superdrug today and got the new L'Oreal Electric Fuchsia (402) and Metallic Coral (407) lipsticks and the Metallic Lilac (037) eyeshadow. They weren't on the special display stand for the new collection, but just mixed in with the other lipsticks and eyeshadows. I got them on 3 for 2, and used points, so they only cost me 38p in total. The eyeshadow looks lilac, but with a hint of grey, and looks more grey in certain lights. The lipsticks are very pretty, too.

In Boots, at the Estee Lauder counter, there is now a free 'Deluxe Gift' when you buy any 2 or more Estee Lauder products. It is a blue and white makeup bag, containing a lipstick, mini mascara, mini eyeshadow quad, mini perfume, a 7ml Advanced Night Repair, and you have the choice of either Resilient Lift cream and a Soft Clean Moisture Rich cleanser or Day Wear cream and Perfectly Clean Splash Away cleanser. The offer is on from 10th to 26th May.

Can you tell me exactly what the lipsticks are called (there's a few different types of lipsticks from L'Oreal), I just could not find the ones you got. Thanks! Metallic Lilac was pretty, but quite grey and I already have Purple Obsession which is more purple. Did you see the other colours? I love the turquoise and the coral ones, but the pink is so pretty too!

I got the coral eyeshadow on Wednesday - very pretty! I tried the turquoise, strawberry and marshmallow shadows and loved them, but they will have to wait for another day. I didn't try the lighter pink lipstick of the three new ones, because I thought it would be too light for me. The lipsticks just say Color Riche on the labels, and are in gold tubes

Thanks, I'll have another look next time. I do find it weird that they don't have a stand for the new stuff.

Ehm, yes. A week or so ago. Really wanted the stuff so bad that I dreamed about it. And loads of NARS blushes... Talk about obsessing...

 

[PeachTwist]

LOL! Glad I'm not alone in this!

Today I plan on trying to stay away from the pc. Stops me looking at stuff I want to buy, lol. Gonna get some baking done. Gingerbread, cookies, brownies and muffins. Yum! Also *maybe* a cake... we'll see!

I'm a long time lurker who has been enabled by Spektra swatches/chatter regarding Mac :bigstar: Just thought I'd tell you that this code ----> JG73 works for 10% off at Debenhams. It apparently expires in two days but I used it today to get Glorify ED Skinfinish highlighter. It's a paltry discount though!

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks for the code. Shame there's nothing new on Debenhams at the moment. Bet there'll be no doscounts going at the end of the month. At least I had a double points voucher as well as a 250 bonus points voucher from Boots, so I got £10 worth of points when I bought my Chanel goodies yesterday.

Welcome! Glad you've decided to join us!

But omg please, don't tell me that. I don't need to spend anymore!

EDIT: I can't get the code to work. Darn.

 

[rockin]

The code won't work for me either

Still, at least it stops me spending on things I shouldn't really be buying

 

[True]

Thanks for the welcome ladies! :bouquet: Not sure why the code isn't working now and yes I'm paying forward the enabling! I bought Red Racer on the first day on Debenhams due to this site and the free shipping. I'm lucky I didn't like anything else. I manage to talk myself off the ledge with Sail La Vie under the premise that it won't suit an NW45 like me and that I have so many reds anyway. So why am I excited about the Marilyn red lip? Maybe because I'm wondering how they will make it different AND hoping it won't be glossy. ETA: Got the code here but it isn't working now, sorry. http://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/codes/10-off-orders-at-debenhams/832100

 

[rockin]

I'm imagining the Marilyn red to maybe be a satin finish - don't know why.

I have Runaway Red, Ruby Woo, Russian Red and now Red Racer as well as Lord and Berry Scarlet. I love both RunR and RedR. I'm tempted by Casual Colours Weekend Getaway but I have purring tendertone and I dislike using lip product in a pot.

 

[rockin]

I just took a look at vouchercodes.co.uk (whereas yours was myvouchercodes.co.uk), and it says the offer excludes beauty. Looks like you were lucky earlier, and they had made a mistake.

Yeah I noticed. Bit disappointing. I always look out for discounts on beauty but so far it's been everything but.

Yep, me too. Blah!

Just tried the L'Oreal Metallic Coral lipstick on - love it!

Trying to decide whether to get Glorify ED highlighter or not before it sells out. I'm tempted, but would it be too dark, or perhaps too orange for me? I'm maybe NW10 (N1 in Face and Body seems a perfect match)

 

[Anitacska]

To be honest, it is rather dark and orange, although it can work if you use it with a very light hand. You are lighter than me and I have to be very careful, so unless you want it as an eyeshadow, I'd probably skip. I have worn it and it's okay, but I have to use the tiniest amount. If you're not on a tight budget, get it, but if you are, the don't bother. It's nice, but I actually think the new Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder would work better for you.
