UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Yes, postage charge was £8.50 from Harrods, ouch! But there is no way I can make it to London before August, plus my travelcard costs something like 12 quid anyway, so what can you do?

Forgot to say yesterday, I've ordered the gold and pinky Illusion D'Ombres from Sephora (France) and received them today. Both are so pretty! The gold one seems to have shrunk though, it's still springy and fine in texture, but is smaller than the others I own. Gorgeous though. I don't know if we're getting those, but since I had a 20% off code again, I decided to get them from Sephora. Can't wait to use them.

No, but you can do a charge and send from either Selfridges or Harrods . The postage may be a little pricey but it would be cheaper than you going to pick it up in person by the sounds of things lol!!

Ooh are those the new ones? Abstract or something like that? I went on Sephora the other day but they dont show photos of how they look so I wasnt sure about ordering! Any chance of a picture?

I will try to post a picture or two tonight, failing that, sometime tomorrow. x

I love the Illusion D'Ombres, even though they are quite pricey. Looking forward to seeing your pictures

Here you go. Vision on the left, Abstraction on the right. First swatch taken with flash indoors, second without flash in the sun. I will have a proper review on my blog in a few days, but I have some busy days ahead (my eldest daughter's birthday party and my husband's birthday, followed by my daughter's actual birthday).

OMG!! Totally gorgeous!! I wonder if its worthwhile waiting till they come out here or just ordering them and be done with it.... how much was postage?

 

[gracie90]

I wish Debenhams would do a 10% off thing for next week as it would be quite a sizeable saving on my HC haul! I don't think it's likely though

 

[Anitacska]

Postage is about 13 quid (15.90 euros). I only order if I have a 20% off code (I think SOLEIL20 still works), so the discount cancels out the postage. Also don't forget euro prices are usually a bit higher (these were 29.50 euros). Obviously I couldn't wait, so can't really advise, lol.

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, that would be nice. Would save me about £25, lol. Must remember to go through Topcashback as well, 3% cashback is better than nothing.

The gold is very pretty, but I actually prefer Abstraction, it's such a pretty pinky-coral with pink and gold shimmer. Gorgeous! I'm wearing them both today, the gold on the lid and the pink in the crease blended upwards.

I was mooching around on the Debenhams website (as you do) and I've noticed that they changed the name of Guerlain Sun IN The City powder (the big gold highlighter) to Giant Powder Face & Body. I wonder who writes these descriptions as sometimes they randomly change the names of products, or the names of shades. Weird.

oh wow! now i need that gold one in my life for sure
me too! i made my list of things to buy yesterday and i have had to cut it down so much! even the glosses and lipsticks are screaming out to me! i am however skipping all the eyeshadows
i hope we get them too!

They tend to mis-spell or wrongly categorise a lot of LE MAC! I remember that they had the Naturally l/s in the csg link.... Wierd!

Just a heads up: Guerlain Terra Soleia is now available from House of Fraser. I don't know if it's online, but I've just seen it at the counter in Guildford. I have reviewed it on my blog if anyone wants to see swatches.

St Tropez body gradual tan in August's Elle magazine. There is a choice of Light-Medium and Medium-Dark. I got Medium-Dark with my subscription so I'll have to give it away, I'm way too pale to carry it off!

I actually got to go out last night, for the first time in absolutely ages! I went with my Dad to see a local rock'n'roll/rockabilly band at a pub where we used to go regularly for rock'n'roll evenings. Thus I had somewhere to actually wear the makeup I've been buying and hoarding for once. I wore Mega Metals eyeshadows in Prance, Mating Call and Noir Plum ( I was wearing a purple skirt and a purple leopard print gypsy top), Launch Away! blush and Red Racer lipstick. Also Bourjois eyeliner and No7 mascara. Somehow, with no other makeup on and with my hair down, RR looks a bit OTT on me, but with that little bit of makeup on (no foundation or anything like that) and my hair quiffed at the front, it looked great, and definitely not 'too much'.

I enjoyed listening to the band, and meeting people I haven't seen for over 2 years - most of the 'old faces' were there, and a few new ones, too. They were all happy to see my Dad again, as he hasn't been going either, what with his ops and chemotherapy.

Just to let you know, my review of the two new Chanel Illusion D'Ombres is now up on my blog. Link in my signature.

Just been playing with the ELF Eye Transformer Palette. I grabbed the nearest eyeshadow to hand, Mystical Myst, applied a wide stripe of it on the back of my hand, and swatched the 4 Transformer colours over it. Some very pretty effects. I think I'll be playing with this some more. I've tried to photograph it, but it's not coming out very well at all in this light.

Anyone else is stalking the websites today? I really want to order today so I can get my goodies before Thursday and then go and pick up some MSF back ups with maybe different swirl patterns on launch day. So far, nothing.
