I went into HoF today, to see if I could order, paying with my vouchers. Apparently it's not possible. The only thing she could do is let me order from the website using their instore computer terminal, (I was buying MAC, which is not available in our branch) paying online as usual, then when the goods arrive and I go to collect, they can refund me and let me pay again using the vouchers! Even Boots can let you order and pay instore, why can't HoF?
HOF seem to be a bit behind with the times! so frustrating!
i am going to london for a few days on saturday which should be good fun. i'm just trying to work out which makeup to take with me. i'm thinking the naked palette and a couple of quads for some bright colours.
i hope you're all doing ok!

It's a brilliant price, isn't it? No way could I afford it at £75, but at £37.50, it's a whole different story.that's pretty awesome! i use the totem one on a daily basis at the moment to get my curls done. people at work always say they look very 70's cool

Enjoy your trip to London. I haven't been there for about 18 years, and never stayed there.
exactly! very much a bargain! and i havent been to london in a long while. this time i'm staying in a hilton (treating myself) and i'm pretty excited! it will also be the longest drive i have done too so i'm kinda nervous about that! i've only had my car about 4 months so hopefully i'll be ok!

Have you checked whether the Congestion Charge will apply where you're going? It's a pain in the bum

Are you going to London on your own? Maybe we could have an impromtu forum meet-up. There's a few of us here from in and around London. I'm free on Sunday!
I would be up for this too, though I'm only free on Saturday unfortunately!Are you going to London on your own? Maybe we could have an impromtu forum meet-up. There's a few of us here from in and around London. I'm free on Sunday!

I can do Saturday afternoon.
I know the feeling. Until last week I hadn't driven in more than 6 months and my first trip was a 1 hour commute in London in rush hour traffic! I'm not the most confident of drivers but I was fine and I am sure you will be too

eek! you are very brave for doing that drive then!I know the feeling. Until last week I hadn't driven in more than 6 months and my first trip was a 1 hour commute in London in rush hour traffic! I'm not the most confident of drivers but I was fine and I am sure you will be too

but that;s great you did ok!Today have been a little stressful. I noticed Annie the cat was eating slowly last night and her lip was dangling down all weird. It looked like she;d had a stroke or something! On further inspection I found that one of her fangs was missing and the other was sticking out at a weird angle which was why her lip and mouth was all weird! So i had to leave work a few hours early to take her to the vet. Luckily I have an amazing area manager who let me go and i'll still get paid for it. The vet said her mouth was infected so gave her two injections! She said the tooth will come out of its own accord and that it will most likely be out in a few days. Luckily my neighbour is looking after the fur babies while i'm away so she will be keeping a close eye on her
phew! But that was £44 gone from my london spending money! But at least I know my baby is ok!

Ouch! Poor Annie! We had a weird time with Fluff last Friday too, I found him doing a poo on the dining room floor which he never does, plonked him outside and he just stayed where I put him, looked all gloomy and annoyed. He's a very energetic kitten, so I could see this was totally not normal. I was worried he might have been poisoned or something, so hubby took him to the vets straight away, but luckily it wasn't that. He was given anti-biotics and anti-inflammatory and was back to normal the following day. Phew! Paws has me worried sometimes too as he will stay outside until it's dark and refuses to come in, somoetimes as late as 9.30 pm. Cats are almost more trouble than children. I say almost though, my 3 children have been pretty awful lately esp towards each other.
Anyway, no worries about meeting up in London, we'll do it next time.

Have you noticed that the Office Hours collection is now up on the Mac website? I saw it yesterday at the counter, but I didn't want anything. Ended up only getting Supercontinental blush and Warming Heart pressed pigment this month. I did order Ruffian Red from an eBay seller yesterday though since I was told again we're not getting it. It cost me around £19 with postage in the end, but never mind. It looks so beautiful on Lou, I just had to get it.

I got Supercontinental blush and Light Touch pressed pigment. Light Touch is just a glitterbomb, though - very disappointed. I got the 3 limited edition eyeshadows from Office Hours, and the Ever Ivory is so pale and sheer it barely shows, and it seems to disappear very quickly too - so much for 'longwear'.
I got worried that we might not get Ruffian, too, so I have ordered Ruffian Gold from an ebay seller. I did look at Estée Lauder's "lamé" luminizer lipstick in HoF the other day, but it wasn't the kind of gold I was looking for, plus I'm not keen on the smell of their lipsticks.
I collected my HoF order yesterday, and they did the refund to my credit card and let me pay with the vouchers as she had said when I ordered. I got MAC Starless Night pigment (so surprised to see this still on their site, so grabbed it), the MAC 214 brush and the Estee Lauder Vivid Shine eyeshadow in Pop Pistachio. I had intended to get Pop Pistachio in branch, but they had sold out of that and the Electric Orchid that I had been considering. Also my Debenhams order of a few more bits from the Dita Von Teese ArtDeco collection arrived in the post - eyeshadows and the remaining blushes. There is to be another Dita Von Teese ArtDeco collection coming out some time, which is the Fall Collection. Again, some existing colours are being renamed just for this, as I noticed one of the blush numbers is already in existence.
My bargain Enrapture Totem Styler has also been despatched, via courier, but I don't know when that is due to arrive. I'm looking forward to having a play and seeing if I can get my hair to retain some curl or wave for once.
My son wanted to go to look at the Hot Wheels cars in Asda Living yesterday, which is right across town, so while we were in that area I also popped in to TKMaxx, and ended up getting a 'By Lauren Luke' palette in 'My Smokey Classics' for just £7.99 and an E.L.F. 32 colour eyeshadow palette for £4. There were several NYX palettes, too, but I felt I have spent enough for a while. I stopped myself buying any nail polishes there, too, as most of the sets had lots of colours I wouldn't wear, and only a few that I would. Considering I have hundreds of polishes already, I skipped.

Well done on resisting the call of nail polish, lol. I popped into TK Maxx yesterday too, but didn't buy anything. In fact the only make up item I bought while I was in Kingston was a new Too Faced eyeliner which I bought with my Boots points, so it was free anyway. I have been buying stuff on eBay lately though which is not good.
The pressed pigments are unusable on the face in my opinion, but Warming Heart makes a nice eyeshadow. It's the same texture as the Bobbi Brown sparkle eyeshadows and Laura Mercier sequin eyeshadows, oh and the Urban Decay stardust ones, which I like, so I don't mind it, but it's not really worth the money esp if you intended to use it as a cheek highlighter.

I bought Light Touch to use on my eyes, but somehow it migrated all over my face
Great sparkle, but I don't want that on my cheeks, nose, upper lip and chin LOL. I'll have to try it over a very sticky base some time.
