I was going to try to get a couple yesterday, but my parents came over and came into town with me, and they would have gone ape if I'd picked up a magazine with makeup on the front. I went into Sainsburys today, and the space where Glamour mag should be was empty

You have a better chance of finding them at smaller local shops, that's where I found mine yesterday.I was going to try to get a couple yesterday, but my parents came over and came into town with me, and they would have gone ape if I'd picked up a magazine with makeup on the front.

Anitacska i am so sorry that this is happening to you i would imagine how shit you are feeling because that's a terrible thing for somebody to say. your husband must be a bit upset too kids do scream and shout - hell i was a right bitch when i was growing up and used to cause such a scene! it's good that people are looking out for certain things but when they are reporting something that actually didn't happen or they aren't sure what they saw they should just leave it alone. please let us know how things go when they do visit again - and why on earth bring your daughter into it too? crazy they could be spending their time looking into actual cases... not making people feel like crap.

Hello again. My husband has just taken the children to the playground, so I can get online a bit. We arrived last night and I think after spending the whole day at airports, in cars and on the plane, the children are a bit restless. Hope he'll tire them out properly, lol.
I got the Guerlain Terra Azzurra bronzer in Duty Free yesterday, it wasn't as cheap as I had hoped it would be, it was 44 quid (I was hoping for 41 or so, since it costs £51 in regular shops), but got it anyway. I also picked up the new LE YSL Paris springtime fragrance, I have a few of those and they are very lovely. Strictly speaking I'm on a fragrance no-buy, but I really wanted this and I think it might be a travel exclusive, so couldn't resist. The Mac counter didn't have any of the new stuff out yet, don't know when it's actually going to the counters, mind you, I don't care that much.
Lou, thanks for your kind message, at the moment I'm trying not to think about the whole issue while we're away, we'll see what happens when we get back. We can't be top priority to social services if the social worker couldn't even be arsed to come out on Thursday, hope that's a good sign.
Dawn, really hope you can find a Glamour magazine with the Benefit freebies, can't believe your parents would be angry about you buying a magazine, could you just not say it was for the magazine and not the freebie?
I won't be online much, my sister's computer is very slow and the screen is rubbish, really hurts my eyes, but will pop on every so often. By the way, is anyone doing anything special for the Jubilee weekend celebrations? I'm not even sure if there'll be any coverage here, but we'll just be chilling out and visiting friends and family here anyway. Have a great weekend everyone!

Allura, MUABB and Temptalias swatches are all so different. Allura's are like the M&S of swatches making shades appear universally flattering and soft, MUABB are always natural daylight and Temptalia's always look heavily swatched and saturated. In fact, a few of Allura's make the colour look nowhere near true to pan. I chose what I initially reacted to from the first blog postings shown on this site. Out for fun looks nice in all their swatches but I was afraid it was going to be super coral orange and yet it doesn't look like that in other images I've seen on people's lips.

If anyone is wanting more lip butters, I just found this post on MoneySavingExpert website
"Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter Half Price!
Been really wanting to try these out, so many people talking about them! Just went to have a look in my local Boots and they are on offer from 7.99 to 5.99, but if you go to the Advantage Card machine they have an offer of £2 off any lipstick or mascara, so printed 2 off and paid seperately, so got my Lip Butters for 3.99 each"

I hadn't seen MUABB's swatches, but having seen her picture of Out For Fun I'm happy with my choice. Allura's swatches looked quite muted and almost dull to my eye, and Temptalia's brighter and more garish. Can't win! I think worn on the lips it appears more coral, depending on individual pigmentation; my lips aren't very pigmented but I'm hoping for more coral than orange. I'll let you know what it looks like on when it finally arrives!

Oh yeah, it would be good to hear how you find it for both cheek and lips. Seems like some people are only using these as lip options and I think that's what I'm doing too. Lol Temptalia's lip swatches can be pretty full on. She's been pretty slow with the swatches probably because of Beth Ditto. I'll offer my thoughts on Weekend Getaway, just hoping it's not so much like MUABB pictures show - bit light compared to pots. Beth Ditto was a massive skip because it was so disappointing. Such a cool character with a great voice and some really good singles under their belts yet this collection was just blah or some kind of afterthought as though BD being attached was enough on its own. None of the lip products or powder tempted me at all. I liked the look of Beth Mask until swatches and reviews popped up. I'm patiently waiting for HC and Marilyn. @Rockin - due to your 60% code for Art Deco, I did all my jubilee weekend damage there.

Pheeewww, I've finally finished catching up on this thread, since my return from Oz!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and Anita, at least you can relax and evade that social services bullsh*t for now.
I know I'd be absolutely peed off, if someone reported me for child abuse or bad parenting!
Dawn, you got me curious about that ArtDeco offer. Where can I find their online shop? Their website doesn't seem to be linked with it?

You put the code ARTDECO60 in at checkout. It's valid from 2nd to 4th June.
Not much going on for the Jubilee around here, unless you count renaming part of the town 'Jubilee Square'. There are street parties (what rotten weather for them today) for those invited, but not much else.

Anita - Enjoy your holiday! From what I've read it definitely sounds like you need it. I hope you can relax.
It's been a busy week for me. Mom went in to have her gall bladder removed on Tuesday and it's been a heck of a week since. They never told us that a key-hole operation was actually "major" - I suppose it would be to have an organ removed. Regardless, I've been doing everything I can around the house and for everyone to try and help her rest and heal. I've barely had any time for myself so tonight some girlfriends and I are going to go out and try to help me relax a bit. I'm doing their make-up first though, so hopefully that goes okay, lol.
I've checked in on Beth Ditto and Casual Colours and they're both skips for me. I still need to order the correct duo from Debenhams which I'll get done this weekend.
Thankfully the weather has cooled down - only it's cooled down so much it feels like we're back in winter. Not best pleased when I'm wearing a light dress this evening. I had no plans to take a cardigan so we'll have to see. I suspect I'll get frozen, lol.
Do any of you have plans for this long weekend? Lou I certainly hope you're off so you can take some time out to relax - you've been working a ton lately!

Forgot to mention I picked up 2 of the Benefit freebies. I got Bad Gal and Porefessional. I couldn't get That Gal because my Tesco either didn't get it or ran out already and I picked up them on release day. I went to Asda yesterday and they didn't have any Glamour mags at all. Ah well - I'm happy with what I got!

Hello again. Today we have British weather here in Hungary, it's absolutely crazy, one day it's 30 degrees, the next it's 18. We had some impressive thunder storms last night as well.
Just had a mooch around the town center, picked up a couple of L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows in shades we don't get in the UK, I got Smoothie Kiwi and Forever Pink. Very pleased with that. I also picked up a couple of noname nail polishes. That's my haul for this week, lol. Cosmetics are actually more expensive here than in the UK, I saw some Chanel glossimers for about 25 quid or so. Ouch.
How's everyone?

Hi Anita
It's cooled down here, too. At least it stayed dry yesterday for the open-air concert outside Buckingham Palace and yet more street parties around the country. Today is grey and breezy here in Maidstone. A bit of a change from the heat we had last week.
I got Smoothie Kiwi on ebay - pretty colour

Weekend Getaway - it arrived today along with my Debenhams order for Entertain Me lip pencil to go under Sail La Vie. Annoyingly Debenhams keep sending male fragrance samples in their packages and this time it was Viktor and Rolf's Spicebomb which smells lovely but they hadn't closed it properly and it all spilled out over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and it's still very intense. Weekend Getaway proved to be unlike the swatches on me. It was perhaps closer to Makeupandbeautyblog with less intensity in the pink. It is very very cool toned and I imagine it would look great for a soft romantic look on a pale skinned blonde or brunette. On an NW45 it just seemed very very cool, subtle and like a lightly tinted lip balm. It did not show on the cheeks which doesn't bother me as I didn't want it as a blush. I ended up tweaking with a NYX liner in Plush Red to put some warmth into it. I'm happier with it that way but sad that it wasn't like Allura's arm swatches. It was also very whitish when it first went on and then it settled into the cool barely there pink. I hope I have better luck with Sail La Vie and my ArtDeco swag! I am off to an Italian wedding this weekend in Rimini and would like to have some kind of look together. My Sainsburys still has a ton of Glamour's with Benefit and Marie Claire's with Ciate. The Ciate polishes are my freebie of the summer, hands down although Red previously had a Laura Mercier hot cloth cleanser which runs a close second. Freebies I saw: Instyle - body shop eye definer pencils in navy and black. Red - Jemma Kidd eyeliner OR mascara. Something else had a mascara, Elle had vests by Reiss (not great quality) and Tatler had sunglasses. Anyone else pick up anything new?
Ooh I should try Sail La Vie with Entertain Me - I've only used it over Lasting Sensation so far.
I've gotten an InStyle with a Body Shop mascara. It doesn't give me overly long or dramatic lashes which I like. I also got two Glamours with the two primers and I might get another one with the Porefessional because I just tried it today and I really like but can't justify buying the full size right now. I think that's all I'm tempted by in the magazines but I might will get a Marie Claire at some point! There's a Scotmid near me which still has loads of everything.
