Just been to Sainsbury's and noticed that there are 5 magazines with freebies this month! I bought a Cosmopolitan that has free Missguided nail polish (bought one with a shimmery yellow nail polish), and a Glamour that has 4 kinds of balance Me. products (I got the pure skin face wash). There was also Elle, Marie Claire and something else I can't remember, with Avon mascara, Ren skincare and St Tropez lotion or something. Worth a look if you're interested in any of them.

well i have been enjoying my goodies this month! fire sign lipstick from HC is so pretty and although some might find it a bit too much for the summer i am still rocking it most days at the moment :) a very pretty berry / brownish red :) i am still trying to curb my spending on cosmetics though so this month i only spent about £75 on mac. so i think that is pretty good going :) my makeup cabinet is now actually filled so i either need to have a clear out or buy more storage!!

i hope everybody is doing ok. on a more personal note i am doing much better now and feel happier. i had my hair done yesterday which made me feel good (a good cut and highlights looks so much fresher!) I just need to buy a couple of new clothes because i have gotten to the stage where all my old clothes fall off and make me look like a blob because there is no shape to them. :(

Fire Sign's not at all dark/bright or too much on me, in fact it's very wearable indeed even for daytime and looks pinky red on me. I love that you have a cabinet where you can have everything on display. My makeup is all in boxes, out of sight like a guilty secret if my parents have cause to go upstairs in my house (such as trying to wake my son up, or helping me get things in or out of the loft).

I'm happy that you're feeling better. I never have my hair 'done' but I do know how it can give people a 'lift' and a bit of confidence. Enjoy clothes shopping - being able to buy smaller sizes is sure to boost your confidence, too.


I've tried on my indie polishes from Darling Diva, and they're beautiful. I particularly like DivaLicious, which is a very pretty purple with multi-colour sparkles. I like that these twinkle so much, yet they're so much easier to remove than glitter polishes (well, I couldn't very well walk around with just 3 fingers painted, and each a different colour, so I had to take them off again lol)

Hi Lou, glad to see you've made it. :) Your hair does indeed look lovely, that picture you put up on FB is really pretty. Glad things are much better at your end. Shopping for smaller clothes is so much fun, after I had my eldest I slimmed down to a size 10 and had so much fun buying new clothes. Sadly none of those have fitted since I had my second daughter. :( But I'm feeling more inspired now to restart running and slim down a bit, I hate being fat. I didn't buy any lipsticks or glosses from HC, none of them seemed special enough, plus I spent soooo much on the mineralize stuff anyway. Also been buying loads of nail polishes, I really need to stop, so I won't even look at DivaLicious. But yes, the indie polishes I've bought are all so pretty. :) Do we know when By Request is being released here? I hope it's not August as we'll be away first week of Aug and I don't know if I'l be able to get online.

I was wondering this too! I'm on holiday in France for the first 2 weeks of August, and I'm not sure how to go about online ordering since you need to be able to sign for your stuff....

Can you maybe ask someone to have it sent to their address? I'm more worried about not being able to order it while we're away and missing out. September would suit me so much better. Btw, we'll be in France too, whereabouts are you going to? We're going to Brittany. :)

I think I'll try and send it to my auntie maybe! I'm going to Clere Sur Layon, it's sort of near Saumur :) So excited for the summer, I'm still in uni at the moment....

RE: By Request - I'd be surprised if we got it in August. Don't we usually get everything a month later than the US? I'd also prefer it to be September but if not, I'd like advance warning lol.

Not everything. Some we get at the same time, some even before the US. I might do a chat with Mac and see what they say.

Sarah: Sorry Do not know exact date as did not go over that collection in training
Sarah: Do you receive emails from M.A.C?
Gracie: That's ok! Thanks for your help
Gracie: And yes I do!
Sarah: Is there anything else I may assist you with today?
Gracie: Oh, are there any new MAC collections coming out in August that you know of?

Thanks Gracie! :) On the By Request thread MACerette said we're only getting it in October apparently. Is Illustrated the Nordstorm collection with the lip bags, etc? I think I'll pass. Not sure about the Electric Cool shadows, will need to see swatches and reviews first. August may be a cheap month for me, Mac-wise anyway.

I think By request is either september or october for us guys. I am part hoping october so i can spend my birthday money on it! :)

I hope everyone is well and all set for a good weekend. The weather here the past two days was great but now it is raining again and just generally pretty crappy :( boo! Plus I have an ear infection so need to go to the doctor after work - one thing after the other isn't it? :(

Afternoon!

Just got back from the Chanel counter at Selfridges, only 3 of the 4 illusion d'ombres came in. The light blue wasnt sent, initially is was delayed but now they dont think they are getting it :-/


ETA: Called the Chanel boutique at Bond St and they said the launch day for 'Destination' (the light blue) is 16th July, and they should be receiving delivery. She also assumed that Selfridges would get a delivery. Rang Harrods......I spoke to a SA that was a little slow on the uptake and insisted I was talking about nail polish....I'll call back later and post.

Debenhams have actually restocked a ton of MAC stuff from the past year, including some of the Semi Precious MES, MBs and MSFs!
So if you missed out on anything then I suggest having a look-see :)

Does anyone know if a package is caught up at customs how long it takes?

I did a swap with a girl here and I'm a little bit worried now.

The last message I got from her was on the 27th of June and she said she'd be sending it within the next 48hrs. That means it's roughly been two weeks.

I've tried messaging her twice now to see if she's received my package and to confirm which date she sent it out and I've had no reply - but I've checked her profile and she's been online.

I'm hoping it's a case of customs has it and that's why I haven't gotten it yet - otherwise I'm fearful I may have been swaplifted, as horrible as that sounds to accuse. :(
