I might be a bit out of touch as I've not spent much time in London the past few months, I've just read that Selfridges are renovating the beauty hall in Oxford St, installing something called The Beauty Workshop: http://style.selfridges.com/whats-in/beauty-workshop-selfridges-london

Anyway, I have to go to central London tomorrow anyway so I will check it out. Sounds interesting! Has anyone else been yet?

I'm starting to get beyond annoyed now with waiting for this package in Aus.

She messaged me on the 10th saying she'd tracked it down and it got lost. Sounded suspicious to me but I accepted it and she said she would re-send it that evening, to me it sounded like she was perhaps just getting round to it - or maybe it really did get lost, I don't know.

She hasn't been online since and it's now the 21st and still no package and nothing from her even confirming if she's sent it or not. If it doesn't arrive soon I'll be telling her I want a refund - this is 2 months now I've nearly been waiting and it's out of order. Pisses me off because her feedback is all positive. The excitement is just entirely gone.

Argh!

Oh that really is annoying. Hope you manage to sort it out soon.

Hope you get your package soon! Must be super frustrating!


Did anyone manage to order on of these uber limited Selfridges Beauty boxes? http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/NEW-IN/The-Beauty-Box_475-1000-BBOX/
I was lucky enough to place an order for it at 7 this morning though I think they where releasing the boxes a few at a time as one moment it was in stock and the next it had sold out! Well mines has shipped so can't wait to try everything out!

Must admit I was sad and ordered it as soon as I got the email at like 5.57am this morning lol. For once my insomnia actually paid off. Just got my dispatch confirmation email aswell, really looking forward to getting this.

Glad you got it too! I actually received my email about 7ish! But I checked the website before I read it, at first I wasn't going to order but as soon as I saw 'out of stock' I had buyers remorse so kept refreshing the page (

) till it was instock again!

 

[Anitacska]

No, but I didn't want to either. I was sleeping at 7, it's school holidays!

Hope you get your package soon! Must be super frustrating!

Don't blame you! I hope I like atleast one thing in there! At about 20 pounds (inc p+p) its a bargain though! And 3 full sized products - glossybox it is not!

 

[PeachTwist]

Thanks ladies. I'm getting really annoyed!

On the bright side, just ordered 15 of the perm e/s's from a member in the US who has dealt with UK shipping before so I'm looking forward to those. Major bargain on them as they're all barely touched. Leaves more money for LE items.

I've not been, but am going to London on Sunday, so will check it out. Did you go? What's it like?

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I completely forgot to look! I lost my makeup bag recently so went along to Selfridges to get some new things to replace the ones I'd lost. I ended up spending about £200, I spent so long at the Trish McEvoy counter that when I was done I completely forgot about checking out the new area and walked on out! It was only when I was on the tube home that I remembered I had wanted to check out the new area. Some days I really do have the memory of a goldfish!

On the bright side though, I now have a petite sized planner from Trish McEvoy as my new work-day touch up kit. I spent ages with the girl at the counter picking everything out. It has two "pages" containing foundation, concealer, pressed powder, bronzer and blush. Plus space for brushes, lipgloss, etc. I don't start my job for another 1.5 weeks but am using it already!

I also looked out for the Dior quints while I was out and about, but so far I have only spotted the khaki one.

Wow, 2 months is a long time!!! I'd be annoyed and frustrated too. Maybe she just forgot to post it and used that as an excuse to cover up.

We'll see if I remember to check it out on Sunday. I e-mailed Dior about the quint, at first they said it doesn't exist, then they said it does, but they don't know where it'll be available. I wasn't that interested in it to start with, but I really can't be bothered now. I did manage to find the GOSH holo nail polish today, I picked up two. Can't wait to try it out. I also picked up 3 OPI polishes from TK Maxx, I need to stop going in there!

 

[Anitacska]

It's package day today for me. The 8 new Orly Flash Glam FX polishes I bought from eBay arrived this morning. Then my House of Fraser order came (I managed to grab the last two tubes of Mac VAE and picked up an Armani ETK e/s). Finally my Estee Lauder Violet Underground palette came. It's so pretty! I think that might be an exclusive to EL and Selfridges, so I ordered it from EL, with free shipping and 3 skincare samples.

Excited about the weekend, my husband is taking the children to his parents. I'm planning on rearranging my nail polish storage and doing an inventory as I have managed to buy shades I already own. How exciting, lol. I also want to go to London for a spot of shopping. I have £20 of HoF vouchers, a £11 Debenhams voucher and £45 on my beauty club card (and if Debenhams could kindly convert another £15 worth of points by Sunday, that would be grand!), plus around £20 on my Boots advantage card. Oxford Street, here I come, lol!

 

[Anitacska]

Has anyone bought anything from the Chanel autumn collection yet? I haven't, going to London tomorrow, can't wait. Got lots of vouchers/points to spend, lol.

I bought Troublant yesterday, would have also got Caractere lipstick, Chic and Parfait Rouge Shines and the Nail Polishs in Frenzy and Vertigo but Boots seemed to have a delivery issue. I wanted to get all from Boots using my advantage points because then it would be free My 2 local large stores told me Monday. Gonna pass on the powder though, swatched it and it looked rather chalky on me. I'm also giving the soft touch ES a miss to as they are similar to shades I already own.

I also splurged on Estee Lauder lol!! I saw the Violet Underground Pallette on display in Debenhams and got that along with the 2 lip glosses and 4 eyeshadows heehee!

Nice! I also got the EL Violet Underground palette, I'm actually wearing it now, it's very pretty. I really only want the powder from Chanel. Unless the lipsticks and glosses are very special, I won't get them, because I have so many lip products, I have to stop buying more. But I will pick up Guerlain Genna Rouge G tomorrow with my Debenhams points, it is so pretty. I bought Gracy earlier this month, but I've been waiting to be able to use my points for Genna. None of my local Debenhams don't have a Guerlain counter, I can only buy it online or from HoF in Guildford.

They're opening one in Liverpool this October too. So excited to get NARS and Shu Uemura here! Not sure if it'll be a permanent thing or just a temporary shop.
Even more exciting is that British Beauty Blogger blogged saying that the Bioderma Crealine H2O micellar water will be available there!

 

[lovesongx]

I'll be keeping an eye out for your swatches - so overwhelmed by that collection, I have no idea what to order!

Evening I'm back from my holiday, but now have loads to catch up on.

The Infallibles I bought on ebay on 2nd August have finally arrived, postmarked 16th August!!
