UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

I went to the counter in Kingston and ended up buying 5 edes, the 3 fluidlines and the black glittery nail polish. Before I left I ordered the 3 pigment sets from HoF. I'm still thinking about which brush set to get, I had no problems with the mineralize one last year, but I don't want that, I want either the pink or the green one, but not sure which.

I went to Boots and bought a few things including the Babyliss hair styling brush thingy I really wanted, plus the Too Faced Bon Bon set. I ended up with £27 worth of points, thank you very much.

Of course! First Thursday of the month is always release day.

Glamourdaze is finally up on debenhams if anyone is waiting. And there is a points offer on as well... 750 points for £40 spend. Too bad nothing in the collection excites me enough to spend £40 ... only got Superb

Ooh, that got me!! I went for the three fluidlines, that I've been indecisive about - at least this way I get the 750 points too! If I do decided to get more, tomorrow, will I get another 750 points, or is it strictly one set of bonus points per card? Still thinking I might get some fo the EDES and maybe Feline (though I have a couple of backups already - that seems to come out quite often lately).

I'm pretty sure it's one a day. You also get an extra 500 points if you spend the £40 on Guerlain! Shame I've already bought everything I wanted form the Guerlain collection.

I ended up ordering the coral lipgloss set and the pink brush set for the 750 points, even though I do have about £200 worth of points I can't even get at. I hate it that you can only spend £15 of it per month. I used my HoF card when paying at the Mac counter and also Boots, that should boost my reward balance, I actually find the HoF card more useful nowadays. Also I can't spend my Debenhams points on Guerlain or Chanel unless I go to London, but the HoF in Guildford has both counters plus Mac!

Hmmm - might give it a try - though I've also got a lot of points stored up for 'one day'!!! Our Debenhams is truly hopeless - I'm thinking that I'll spend the £60 currently available on the new Clinique Chubby Sticks when they come out. This is making me think that maybe I WILL get that Guerlain Calligraphy palette that I'm coveting - I didn't get the other ebay one, and am too impatient to wait for the sales

My issue with the Debenhams points is that I have about £80 worth on my card, but as I only get £15 at a time, I spend that and end up earning the points back also! So I have a lot stored up that I can;t get too

 

[tats]

As I thought I had a missed parcel today.. I'm sure it's MAC.. At least I don't have to wait till monday to get it, I will pick it up tomorrow..

 

[rockin]

I had ordered the sets from HoF yesterday before I found out that Debenhams had the points offer. Never mind, I ordered the individual bits from Debenhams.

Today I collected my HoF purchases. I have swatched the Sweetly Smoky Crushed Metallic Pigments set on my hand, and they are beautiful. I'm liking the pink brush set, too. I also got the Endless Night nail lacquer, since it was only £9 at HoF, from the previous release.

Argos have the Enrapture Jumbo Waver for just £29.98, instead of £74.99. Since I had £17.50 in Nectar points available, it only cost me £12.48 - absolute bargain! I reserved it before I went, going through TopCashBack, which currently gives you 75p for completing the purchase of the reserved item. Obviously there's no cashback on the price of the item itself, as payment is not online, but 75p is better than nothing.

I wish HoF would upload the mac holiday collection! I know the lip bags and glosses and pigments are up. I've been stalking the site every couple if hours

 

[Anitacska]

I missed the postman today, I'm pretty sure it was my HoF order that came, now I have to wait until Monday to pick it up. Never mind though, I wouldn't be able to do anything with it anyway, with husband and children at home and constantly annoying, lol. Haven't even had time to look at my goodies I picked up on Thursday from the counter. Bring on Tuesday! (Monday's inset day.)

 

[tats]

I got my stuff today yay.. but I will do a little photography session before I will try everything))

 

[toobusytostitch]

This sounds SO like my life too!! Mine are back to school on Monday, so can investigate the Bobbi Brown that I've splashed the cash on - it's upstairs still in the box at the moment

.

 

[Anitacska]

Yeah, I just plonked my Mac bag in the cupboard and never had a chance to look at things properly. Oh well, at least both my younger ones have after school clubs on Tuesday and my eldest doesn't get home until 4 pm anyway, so I'll have plenty of time to play.

Is HoF going to release any of the mac holiday collections?

 

[27dots]

Does anyone know how long it takes for HoF Recognition points to be converted to rewards? Do you have to wait a month? Thanks xx

It's every three months. I believe they are due this month.



No sign of my Pink Paramour set from MAC yet. According to the website it is still In Warehouse along with a couple of orders from 2007 lol. Postie has been, but he didn't have it

 

[27dots]

Thanks. I wonder why they do it so infrequently!

 

[rockin]

Halfpriceperfumes.co.uk have the Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow Box as their 'Deal Of The Day'. It's currently £17.99 instead of £27.00

I just found out that the next Boots points event is on 14th or 15th November. Ours is on the 15th, but it varies - check the website for yours, by doing a branch search.

 

[Anitacska]

The HoF rewards are the same as the Debenhams rewards, ie credit card based, whereas the Debenhams Beauty Card is like the Boots Advantage Card. That is why they only send the rewards out every 3 months with your statement. Also, you need to have a minimum of £20 to get your rewards, otherwise you're waiting another 3 months.

Thanks. I wonder why they do it so infrequently!

Well, it turns out it was actually my Debenhams order that was delivered on Saturday, I've just picked it up from the sorting office. My HoF order came today. Both are still sitting there unopened (dh is home today as it's inset day for all 3 of mine), can't wait for tomorrow, to finally be able to sit down and open everything and take pictures and swatch them...
