UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

That's more like it. I will ask the nice lady in Boots in Kingston when I'm next there, she is always spot on.

Thats what I thought. Good thing I rang the pop up store..... they said the new collection will be in on 9th November!! Not sure if that will be the date across the counters nationwide though alhough I would assume Selfridges will get it on this date too.

ooohh i need the chanel quad it reminds me of a more toned down version of the spiced chocolate quad from mac on first glance.

9th November? Damn, it seems so far away! I'm desperate to get my hands on a few things from that collection, I haven't bought any exciting make up since Hey Sailor.

The Models Own half price sale is now on! Use code SUMMERSALE. £25 minimum spend and not available on the new Mirrorball collection.

I ordered Utopia, Mixed Up, Aqua Violet, Ibiza Mix and Balearic Cool. I originally wanted Raspberry Crush rather than Balearic Cool but it was sold out, I'm happy with my order though! Worked out at £12.50 for the polishes plus £2.95 P&P.

Don't think they used to charge P&P on orders of £20 (it used to be free on the 50% off orders under £20 too because the original price was £20 or more). Bit sad but still pretty cheap, about £3 each!

 

[Anitacska]

I haven't ordered anything from Models Own, I should be on a nail polish no-buy and I have pretty much every polish I wanted from them. Shame really, I would've loved to use the discount. I don't remember whether postage used to be free or not, but it would be nice at least after a certain level.

According to British Beauty Blogger, the Marylin collection is coming out today, but it's only in the US, right? I can't go shopping today, my son was sick this morning, had to stay home from school.

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to when it's coming out. Somebody from the UK mentioned in Marilyn thread that the collection comes out here on Tuesday next week..
but I wish it's today, because I'm off.. On Tuesday I will be at work

 

[duku]

Just checked, she said October 1st. Are you getting anything from the collection?

Hope your son feels better!

I really hope it's not the 1st, I'll be in college. Hopefully it'll be between today and Monday or with any luck it won't sell out immediately.

Hope it isn't then! There's always HOF/Debs websites if you miss it on the MAC site, it's nice to have that wee security blanket. What are you after?

After seeing Temptalia's swatches, Love Goddess l/s, The Perfect Cheek blush & possibly the BP. I've never actually bought a BP and have no idea how to use them and it does seem so sheer that I don't have any idea what it could possibly do lol. What are you after?

I have Play it Proper beauty powder and it gives a beautiful sheen. I love using it as a highlighter. Although Play it Proper is great for highlighting, but the shade is quite a cool pink so doesn't look that natural but I can imagine Forever Marilyn will be just perfect! I will be definitely getting it and hopefully won't miss it

Ooh I hadn't seen those. If I get anything it'll be Legendary blush and either Charmed, I'm Sure or Deeply Adored, I can't decide. Love Goddess looks good but I don't think I could pull it off. I'd love to get more but, realistically, I wouldn't use it much so it'd be a waste.

I only have Shell Pearl BP, I use that as a highlighter or subtle blush if I pile it on. Might use it today! I imagine Forever Marilyn will be a good all over highlight colour, it looks pretty and soft.

I hadn't even thought about the Marilyn collection until I logged on here yesterday, oops. I'm kind of over MAC, it's getting too pricey. I'd rather spend money on Nars, Chanel, Burberry, etc. No yearly hikes there.

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, she corrected it after I asked her about it. It said "today" before. I suspect it won't even be the 1st, certainly not at the counters, it's almost always Thursday.

I don't even know if I'm getting anything to be honest. I've looked at Allura's and Temptalia's swtches and I do like the lighter red and the pink lipsticks, but I have so many reds and bright pinks. Otherwise, meh.

Thanks, he's feeling okay. He wasn't even properly sick this morning, it was mostly just water, he's been fine since. I hope he can go to school tomorrow.

Oh I see! I did think it was a little strange that the counters would deviate from the usual release day.

I know what you mean, the colours aren't hugely unique and are easily dupeable if you have a large collection.

Oh good! That happened to my brother a couple of weeks ago, he felt fine after a bit so I drove him to school (tiny bit late) and they refused to let him stay. So annoying.

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, the rule is our school is that they're not supposed to go back for 2 days after they've been sick, but he really wasn't even sick, so I will take him tomorrow. Told him to just say he wasn't feeling well. Even that's an exaggeration, because he is feeling just fine. I refuse to keep him at home another day just because he spat up a spoonful of liquid.

Having read T's review of the Marylin lipsticks I have now talked myself out of buying any. She says Charmed, I'm Sure is similar to Runaway Red which I have. Rocker is less brown than Deeply Adored which I obviously don't have yet, but will hopefully pick up next week, so I'm good. Gesina is very similar to Love Goddess, I also have that and actually didn't even remember I had it, so that is why I don't need to buy any more lipsticks!

The only thing is tempting me right now is Legendary blush, but I want to know how pigmented it is and how similar it is to Supercontinental before I decide.

Well I'm excited.

My package from the US with my By Request goodies arrived!

Guacamole, Jete and Moth Brown - haven't swatched them yet but Moth Brown side by side Satin Taupe - you can definitely see MB is more purple.

Parrot e/s also arrived - worth every penny. Such a beautiful colour - I'm so glad I managed to get my hands on it fiiiinally!

Yung Repunxl l/s - gorgeous but very dark so I'll have to play with it to figure out how it will work best before I wear it out the house.

We have that rule too. I now just phone in and say they don't feel well, or that they have a headache - my friends do the same. It would be interesting to see the total figures for reported sickness at schools these days - i bet the number of people saying that their child is off because they have thrown up! I don't send them in if they're genuinely ill, sometimes my ten-year-old throws up because he is inclined to eat too much too quick! It is always annoying when they are absolutely fine by 10 o'clock!

I'm not on here (or anywhere really) lately as I'm on a 'no buy' until the Guerlain collection. The easiest way to 'not buy' is not to read blogs/forums, or is that just me???

Yes, we said he wasn't feeling well. I also told him to say that otherwise they'll send him home and he won't be able to do karate, lol! I wouldn't send him if he was puking, but there's really nothing wrong with him.

I should be on a no-buy too, mostly for lipsticks, lipglosses and nail polish. Actually I've been okay with the first two, haven't really bought any lipsticks other than Ruffian Red (finally it has arrived!) and the Nars 413 BLKR lip pencil, and haven't bought any lipglosses in ages! However, I still can't stop buying nail polish, but there are so many pretty glittery, sparkly, holo polishes out there, lol.

I went shopping today though and only bought myself a Vaselin lip therapy. Wanted to get the new Pink Bubbly one, but there's no way I'm paying nearly double the price for that! The Rosy lips one is £1.99, the Pink Bubbly is £3.49. Why?

I have decided I might only get Legendary blush from Marylin (if I get anything), nothing from the Carine Rottfield or whatever her name is, and 2 lipsticks, 2 e/s and maybe 3 lipglasses from By Request. I'm still torn whether to get Bait and Flash of Flesh, she I can't test them in person, I would probably leave them, but if I order online, it's not that easy to resist. I will get CoC though.

I'm completely skipping the Roitfeld collection, too. I do want a few things from both Marilyn and By Request, so this is going to be an expensive month. I have been on a lipgloss no-buy (got so many, both opened and unopened) but I plan to get Cult Of Cherry and Flash Of Flesh, along with Jete and Moth Brown, and Moxie. I'm trying to talk myself out of Rocker, thinking it might be too dark for me and I have loads of reds already.

From Marilyn I want Love Goddess, Forever Marilyn, Legendary, and possibly Showgirl and Preferred Blonde. I had wanted all the eyeshadows, but with them being bigger and more expensive, plus the new EDES coming out soon, I have to draw a line somewhere. Had they been regular sized, I'd have got all 4. I've had a job talking myself out of The Perfect Cheek and Charmed I'm Sure.
