UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[PeachTwist]

I quite like the look of the teal and berry shades in this one. I got the sparkle one from last time and the reddish was absolutely phenomenal and perfect for Xmas parties. The black also looks pretty rich but there's only so many black eyeshadows shimmery, glittery or otherwise a girl can own

I got those matte lip cream things from the recent PPQ collection and they must be the worst makeup product i've ever known. They have a terrible texture and just crumble off and flake, I wish i'd tried them out in store rather than buying on line.

In other news I just had a MAC chat with Barbara and she said they are working on putting the Pro products on the UK site but no confirmed date as yet.

Score! No more calling Pro and paying stupid shipping for 1/2 items!

I will finally will be able to get my hands on some pro sruff. Hope they will release pro products soon

Not so sure. :/

I just did a Live Chat with a girl named Sarah and she said we won't be getting the PRO products as far as she's aware. :/

I just looked on Escentual, dragon meteorites are back in stock, urgh! I had to pay 4 pounds more for them on ebay.. just my luck

 

[Anitacska]

I wouldn't worry, most of them are usually clueless.

My Escentuals order has been dispatched, and I have also just received notification from TopCashBack that the transaction has tracked

My order from Escentuals arrived today. Wow, they are so quick. I will definitely use them again

 

[Anitacska]

They are brilliant aren't they? Glad your order has arrived!

Mine was probably one of the 3 packages the postie tried to deliver while I was out this morning. I've re-arranged delivery, but it won't be until Friday morning

Finally Debenhams has the Guerlain holiday collection up as well. I have actually bought everything I've wanted already and none of it from Debenhams, lol. I normally buy everything from there, but I just couldn't be bothered to wait, especially with such good deals on eBay, etc. I'm peed off with Debenhams anyway, since I missed out on the 1000 bonus point offer due to them being so slow in putting the Guerlain collection up. I bought the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick and one of the Laura Mercier eyeshadow trios from HoF today instead. In your face Debenhams, lol!

Same here actually - I've got all that I was going to get too, from House of Fraser - out local is not good, but I did Click and Collect, so didn't have to watch out for parcels being delivered. I got panicked that I was going to miss out! Bet Debenhams have missed out by being so slow.

We don't have any high end make up right now, just a few cheap ones. We do have a Debenhams with EL, Clarins, Clinique, Benefit and Lancome, so I don't need those, but Chanel, Stila, Dior, etc. would be nice.

Walked through Boots today, and was amazed to see a brand new Benefit counter and Smashbox counter

. Actually there is already a Benefit counter in House of Fraser, just opposite, but I've never come across a Smashbox counter! I really liked the look of some of the products - anyone used anything? The Christmas pack of liners/mascara and the two Christmas palettes both look nice. I was told that the liners are totally non-smudge etc (by the sales assistant, who pounced the second I paused) but wondered if anyone else has a (probably less biased) opinion?

 

[Anitacska]

My Boots never got any new counters, they just rearranged the isles. Just been to the Superdrug in Guildford and it got done up as well as the Boots, that Boots as well as the Kingston one both have Smashbox counters now.

I have a palette from Smashbox (Muse palette from a few years ago), and I bought the Burlesque case last year or so which came with an eyeshadow quad, a blush, a pot of loose glitter, mascara, gloss, etc., but I've never tried their eyeliners. I have so many Urban Decay and Stila ones now, I really don't need any more (well, until some new sets come out from Urban Decay, you know).

The Debenhams in Guildford got rid of their Too Faced stand and I managed to get 4 more of those Galaxy eyeshadows for £14 in total, which I paid for with my points. Also TK Maxx had the Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance Policy palette for £7.99 which I own already, but it comes with a full size TFSI primer which is my favourite as it comes in a squeezy tube and doesn't dry out like UDPP, so I figured, even if I manage to sell the palette for just £7.99, I get the TFSI for free. I can't resist bargains like that. Bring on the next eBay free listing day, lol.

I don't NEED any either!! Just don't think I'll resist the temptation, as I walk through Boots every time I do the banking for work (once or twice a week). Perhaps I should walk through M&S instead

I got my Dragon Meteorites today and they are so beautiful ahh I haven't tried them yet, can't wait to do that. They smell divine as well.
I also used the eyeshadow palette today. It's beautiful paired with a plummy lipstick.

 

[Anitacska]

I haven't used mine yet. Swatched it on Tuesday, but haven't used it. Been using the Calligraphy palette actually, both today and yesterday, tried out both lipsticks and all the eyeshadows and I really like them, although the lipsticks are not as nice as the Rouge G lipsticks.

The only thing I have from Smashbox is an eyeshadow palette, one of the christmas editions. It is an alright palette but not amazing, I hardly ever use it now. In fact, I depotted all eyeshadows and still don't use them.
