Oh no, I'm so sorry I snatched it from you! How funny. After the Calligraphy palette was finished I was watching the other one and noone bid! You could've had it for £29, lol. I was thinking to myself maybe I shouldn't have bid on the first one. Really hope you get it. If I see the Voyage Powder up on eBay I will give you a shout I promise. xxx

Have you swatched the Calligraphy palette? The eyeshadows in it are just so gorgeous! I don't even care about the lipsticks, lol. I wouldn't pay £54 for it though. Good luck, hope you get it for £29. Also hope you get the Voyage Powder "cheap".

I'll have another go at getting it for £29 though I can also live without the Voyage Powder at full price, but will be stalking ebay for another bargain.

It was already sold out on Debenhams when I bought my Dita stuff. I had to get the Compact Powder and the Magnetic Beauty Box from this site http://tenderlovingskincare.co.uk/brand/dita-von-teese-classic-collection/page/4/

Thank you so much for the link! So you own a compact powder, how do you like it?

 

[rockin]

I've only swatched it very lightly with my finger, but I like it - I love the colour and it feels very smooth. Unfortunately I am one of those weird people who doesn't like to ruin something pretty by using it, unless I have a backup lol. I think I may have a touch of Aspergers like my son.

I saw this on a blog:

"Mark the 8th of November in you calendars as you can pop into any Ojon stockist nationwide where you will receive a full size Damage Reverse Shampoo and Conditioner worth £41.50 when you bring in an empty shampoo or conditioner bottle from any brand. See you in Boots!"

thats really good! i really like the ojon range and have used the oil and shampoo and such for a while. i get it from qvc shame my boots don't stock it!

 

[rockin]

The one in Kingston does. It replaced the Too Faced stand, I was very cross, but luckily found the Too Faced one in a different part of the store.

I've never seen Ojon in our Boots. That's not to say they don't have it, though - I don't go down those aisles very often.

We don't have Too Faced, either. HoF in our town did until a couple of years ago, from what I understand.

According to Boots' own page about our branch, we have Benefit! Well we do, if you count a cardboard stand displaying They're Real. They don't have any other Benefit there

Still no Fall Collection, though *sigh*

Thank you I'm getting paid tonight, just in time to do some shopping therapy..

I've just put Forever Marilyn and the Dita powder side by side, and the Dita one is much paler than the Marilyn. They contain the same amount, but the Dita one includes an applicator. To the touch, the Dita one feels very much smoother than the Marilyn

My camera doesn't seem to be able to pick these colours up perfectly, but hopefully this shows the difference in colour. Marilyn on the left, Dita on the right, with the applicator

I thought this was quite exciting new: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-pro-products-available-to-all-online so I hope it comes to the UK too! It wouldn't cost them anything to do as they have the stock etc already just a change to the website so fingers crossed

Thank you for comparing. Marilyn is quite pale on me for I wonder if Dita will be just too pale, but it would be alright if it lays invisibly. I've been reading reviews about it, although there isn't many, someone was saying it doesn't give a powdery look and there was a mention of matte glow or something, this is exactly what I want.

Pro lipstick shades are already available in US.. not in the UK

I know i'm hoping we might get them at a later date, i might do a mac chat later and ask though i am guessing they won't be very clued up about it even happening in the US let alone the UK.

If it does happen it will be insane i will want to buy so many things like pigments, glitters, blushes, sculpting powder, lippies, chromagraphic pencils, brushes...

 

[rockin]

I really hope we do get the Pro stuff online here. When I've phoned MAC to ask if they have certain products, invariably most of what I wanted has been out of stock and then they charge postage as well. I have ended up paying a delivery charge for one item, when I had wanted 3 or 4. If they had been on the website, I could have seen for myself when things were in stock and ordered them all at once with no postage charge. It doesn't help that we can't even see when products on the Pro site to see what they actually have.

Tats, Marilyn does seem powdery compared to Dita. I couldn't photograph them on my skin as the Dita especially just blends right in and the camera wouldn't see it.

No We don't have anyone local enough that stocks Guerlain. Nearest would be Kingston, which is about 45 minutes drive away, and I rarely get a chance to go there without children! Very frustrating when I go to Build a Bear and it's a case of 'So Near, but so Far'

I just know that I'll love the eyeshadows, but wouldn't pay the £54 either - especially as I'm really fairly sure that I wouldn't like the lipsticks. My current fave is a Brillant one called Bridget - very 'toned down'! Still Guerlain though

Oooh, thanks for this picture - that Dita looks absolutely wonderful! I think I'm definitely going to have to get that. I can see why I stopped browsing these sites when I was on a 'no-buy'

Thank you! I bought this, along with a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick - 24ct - I love these I'm thinking that maybe Debenhams won't ever get the Turandot Guerlain palette, so am caving, and getting it from Selfridges while they still have some. Will miss out on points etc, but really HAVE to have that!
