UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Thanks. Bah-humbug. Should I drive to Kingston for £7.50 (and spend about £3 on parking in the process) and waste 2 hours in the process? I think I might skip this since there isn't anything specific I wanted anyway. I'll check out the John Lewis sale on Thursday instead.

I was planning on going to Bentalls today, and combine with a visit to Boots in Kingston (our local Boots isn't included of course) - all ready to go and my daughter was sick! So I'm at home instead. Might go for the online offer now, and 'pad out' the order with toothpaste, shampoo etc - at least the delivery will be free!

 

[Anitacska]

Isn't that always the case?

I went to Guildford in the end, wanted to see if there was anything worth having left in the HoF sale (answer is no) and ended up spending over £60 in Boots, so got £15 worth of points. Yay!

I'll pop to Kingston tomorrow for the John Lewis sale.

I placed a Boots order online today, as I needed some stuff as well as the things I 'wanted' so made the £50 easily. Would have been much better if they'd had the instore offer, though. I asked my favourite SA and she checked with another and neither knew of any upcoming points events at that branch. They didn't even know that some other branches were having an event today.

I picked up a bargain at Superdrug, too. I picked up a pack of 3 green MUA eyeshadows (the only colour they had) marked down to £1, put in the 49p clearance box, and when it went through the till it came up at 10p!! Don't you just love it when that happens?

Yep it sure is! And our school has a policy of 48 hours off school after sickness etc, so now I'm also going to miss out on the John Lewis sale, as I have to go into work on Friday, and probably over the weekend too to catch up! Ah well, will console myself with more money to spend on heavenly Creatures

I did spend £50 on Boots online, and got the 'free' No7 free gift for spending £25 on No7 - quite easily done as I do love their skin care for dry skin - seems to suit me better than most. Then I spent £26 on other items, and so qualified

Good for you!! I went into Lakeside after work and 'stocked up' on lots of things as well as using some of the other money off vouchers I got...... Managed to spend £120 but saved £25 with the vouchers and got £30 worth of points. The rest of the points vouchers will come in handy at the Dior and Chanel counters

I tried not to look at the MAC HC pics but after seeing them I know I'm in trouble lol!! Gonna have to remember to by more muji acrylic storage when I'm in town on Saturday hehe!!

ooohh i shall take a look

 

[Anitacska]

Nothing special in the John Lewis sale, but I did manage to pick up another half price Guerlain Parure Aqua foundation, this time 02 Beige Clair which is my winter shade. I've almost run out of my current one, so yay! No Cruel Gardenia or anything else exciting, just some blushes and skincare.

Hiyaaaaaa Girlies,

Yes i've pretty much been out of the Specktra loop since forever - anyhooo!!!

So yesterday I was randomly browsing Very.com and errrrr MAC products are now being sold on the site and on Littlewoods and Is Me (companies are linked)... my mouth dropped, I was stunned

Just a headsup if you weren't already aware and happen to shop on any of those sites xx

**Actually it wasn't yesterday it was Wednesday.

 

[Anitacska]

I've just had a look on very.com and Littlewoods, but can't see any Mac products?

OMG!!! They have taken them off!!! Just checked myself.

I should have done a screen capture.

They had 90+ items, about 30 eye shadows about about 15 Lipsticks, like 4 Lipglasses, All the MSF Naturals except Deep Dark and they had quite a few Mineralize Blushes, Studio Tec/Fix and randomly one Studio Fix in NW50!!

I can't believe they took it off, perhaps it wasn't meant to be made live when I saw it

 

[Soul Unique]

Price wise the items on Very were about 50p more than the current MAC prices and Littlewoods was like 3/4 quid more than usual.

They were probably taken off because they were fake. I remember reading something somewhere on the net about this.

 

[LMD84]

how weird. surely sites such as littlewoods and very wouldn't sell fakes though? i personally don't shop from them (generally more expensive than just buying stuff outright because it's 'interest free' stuff) but they are very well known and popular sites. they wouldn't want to wreck their reputation by selling fake stuff surely?

i have really been enjoying my weekend getaway lip colour. the only annoying thing is that i can't take it out on the go with me because i use a lip brush with it. but the shade is very flattering as well as not drying my lips out! success!

The whole idea of MAC being sold on those sites was baffling, but yes I just saw something online just now about alleged fake items. But why would they be selling counterfeit goods, very odd.

PS: Sounds like somebody could do with a 318

That's what I would have thought too, maybe they got the stock from an unverified source and when it was pointed out they took it down. I googled and found this it wasnt the same thing I read but a very simalar situation..

Thats good to know about the casual collection lip colour!

I've been hesitant about them, gonna check them out again tomorrow at the counter. Is it quite long lasting or do you have to reapply regularly?

Smashbox is coming to Boots - just seen the notice on their website. Bet it won't be in my branch though

 

[Anitacska]

No, mine neither. Maybe in Kingtson or Guildford. I wish we had Stila instead though.

I was gonna go to London today to meet up with a friend, but she cancelled. I thought I'd might still go and see if Selfridges had the Chanel Bombay Express collection yet, but then MakeUp4All posted that it's only available from Wednesday, so I decided not to bother. My son wanted something from Hamleys, but I could order it online. They charge a lot of postage, but still cheaper than going to London and this way I'm not spending lots of stuff I didn't even want, just saw and decided to buy, which is what I do when I go to London. Anyone getting anything from the Chanel Bombay Express collection? I'm going to order the gold powder and the gold nail polish.

That's good - it won't be in my branch either, but maybe it will be on-line?

I am going to admit now that I don't really like Chanel very much -

- somehow the things that I've got from them have never quite looked right/ lasted long / whatever! That collection does look lovely, but I always manage to avoid Chanel collections. Probably just as well
