UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

No worries. If your US CP falls through, or you'd like something else, just let me know.

Today I'm wearing 3 of the new EL eyeshadows, Arctic Sky (which is a gorgeous duochrome blue/pink/purple), Electric Orchid and Magenta, plus my old Cyber Pink and I'm very pleased with them so far. I swatched them all yesterday, they're all so pretty.

I splurged out massively last week and placed 4 orders on Thursday (which resulted in my Debenhams card being blocked again, they are terribly nervous about online ordering which is really annoying) and interestingly the only order that hasn't arrived yet is the one with the priciest shipping cost (Harrods). It's due today, but the Boots order that was free delivery was here on Saturday already! Even Debenhams beat it by a day. Hohum.

I checked in another Superdrug yesterday and it seems the Gosh holo nail polish isn't out yet. There is a stand, but there wasn't any in it and the girl I asked didn't know what I meant. I really want to get my hands on it now to see what the big fuss is about.

I skipped the Mac EC shadows and ordered the NARS Modern Love palette off ASOS instead. It is beautiful, I'm so happy! Also picked up a Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick (20).

Anitacska, thanks for offering to pick up my By Request items! Purplerinne offered to CP them to me so I am all covered. And as a side note, the CP with shipping cost me £50 exactly whereas if I had bought them on the MAC site with free shipping it would have been £52! I know it's not a huge difference but it opened my eyes a bit to how ridiculous the prices are in Australia, for example.

I'm happy you like Arctic Sky, Anita. It was the one that, as soon as I swatched it, I knew I had to get it - so pretty! On my list of wants (but can't afford yet) are Cyber Pink and Electric Orchid, and maybe Pop Pistachio, although I rarely wear green but it's a lovely shade

Me too. I actually forgot it was supposed to be out by now, but definitely am going to keep my eyes peeled for it now.

No GOSH holo nail polish in our Superdrug either - I checked this afternoon. However, I did spot a small stand, away from the rest of the makeup, with some of the MUA makeup that is more than £1. I grabbed the Dusk til Dawn eyeshadow palette (£4), 2 of their Gel Eyeliners (£2 each, normally £3) in Underground and Fairground - these were the only colours they had left, and there were only a couple of each, and a £1 waterproof mascara. Got to be worth a try at that price. I also picked a Revlon Colorstay 'Smoky Shadow Stick' in 'Torch' which is like a double-ended Shadestick, but with one rounded and one slightly pointed end (a bit like the Beth Ditto ones I suppose, only better). I tried the tester and it was very creamy and smooth. They are currently £5.99 instead of £7.99.

I've treated myself to a punnet of strawberries and some condensed milk, too, as my kids went to their Dad's today for a week so I needed cheering up.

 

[Anitacska]

I personally can't wait for mine to go to my in-laws for 3 days with my husband at the end of this month, I definitely won't need cheering up when they do, although strawberries and condensed milk are always nice.

My Harrods order arrived today eventually. I got the Estee Lauder gloss in Violet Rain, it looks very pretty indeed. I also got a Laura Mercier shimmer bloc and baked eyeshadow.

Are the Estee Lauder glosses Harrods exclusives? I keep checking, but haven't seen them on Boots, HoF or Debenhams websites yet, and the SAs in Boots and HoF haven't heard of the Sequin glosses

 

[Anitacska]

I'm not sure. They are up on the Estee Lauder UK website, but Violet Rain is sold out. I bought 3 other ones from there, and then I saw that Harrods had Violet Rain, so I gave in and ordered it (with £5.95 shipping, ouch). They will probably pop up in other shops soon, but I didn't want to take the risk.

Electric Orchid, Pop Pistachio and Fire Saphire are among those which are limited edition. The SA in Boots told me that the ones with Cyber in the name are permanent, and the others are LE

 

[Anitacska]

I'm about to do a blogpost about the Estee Lauder eyeshadows, it will probably be up in an hour, will update my signature when I have. But in the meantime, here's a picture:



I reviewed the original six shades as well, if you search for Cyber Eyes, I'm sure you'll find them.

I've just won a makeup brush from Prestige on Twitter I'm guessing it might be a fan brush, since that's the brush people had to identify to be chosen at random to win.

 

[Anitacska]

According to Temptalia, even Cyber Ice is LE.

That's cool! I've won a nail polish from Llarowe, the seller I've been buying all the indie polishes from lately.

Well. Still no package from Aus. I e-mailed the seller and she said a couple days ago she'd go to the post office and see if there's a hold up they know of or if it's been returned for any reason or something but I've heard nothing back. I'm suspecting Customs has it tbh.

Think I'm going to make another order from the US for OPI on eBay too very soon. I have my eye on a few and I only have a small OPI collection so I'd like to get that built up.

OPI Nail Polish Louvre Me Louvre Me Not
OPI Nail Polish Spiderman Collection Number One Nemesis
OPI Nail Polish You Don't Know Jacques
OPI Nail Polish Russian Navy
OPI Nail Polish Ski Teal We Drop
OPI Nail Polish Midnight In Moscow
China Glaze Bohemian Luster Nail Polish Deviantly Daring

I'm also picking up OPI Just Spotted The Lizard from the Spiderman Collection - it's such a gorgeous colour. Shame the girl on eBay sold out already - I'm paying UK prices for it.

Awesome - thank you!

 

[Anitacska]

Awesome - thank you!

No problem. I'm considering buying a few OPI polishes from this seller myself. I don't think I've used them before, but they seem to be the cheapest, so hopefully they're good.

Eww, you might want to check the labels on your anti-aging creams *shudder*
