Yes, they don't have it in my size either. For me it's not the cup size that's the problem, I'm a 38B and nothing comes in 38. So I guess you have to be a size 10 or smaller with smallish boobs to buy these. Oh well.

I like the black overwire bra too but, like you, the size is an issue for me

in fact, it looks like none of the range comes big enough

My boobs are small enough, haha, but both Dita and Rosie collections hardly blow my socks off. It is nothing I cannot find at H&M or New Yorker (local store for young women). Aubade and Freya on the other hand often have beautiful stuff... Not that I can really afford it

I love 1950s styles, fashion, music....... (I'm a teddygirl/rockabilly) so the overwire bra is very much my style, along with stockings and suspender belts rather than tights, and definitely no thongs. In fact, I had a strapless overwire bra many years ago - an original, but previously unworn one.

The Dita Von Teese Fall Collection is appearing on Debenhams site now!

 

[Anitacska]

I saw that baked powder last week in the Guildford store, it looks like a more colourful Lightscapade (well, more colourful than the new version anyway). It's pretty, but I'm not paying £30 for it. I will get the blush and the eyeshadow palette from the holiday collection, and those EDES style eyeshadows plus plus from the other collection, hopefully they will appear on there eventually.

£30 is rather expensive for it, I agree.

I've bought one of the lip lacquers, a couple of lipsticks, the blush I didn't have (already have She-Shamen under it's regular name Cadmium Red) and the 3 new eyeshadows (Sable, Champagne and Charmeuse are existing permanent colours Pearly Misty Wood, Pearly Luxury Skin and Pearly Medium Beige respectively - same number, different name just for this collection).

I think it's odd how these new eyeshadows are £5.50 instead of the regular £6, and the Dita trio palette is cheaper than the regular, plain trio palette. The lipsticks are £2 each cheaper than the ones that were in the Dita Classics Collection. I'm not complaining, though.

Body Shop have the sparkly body sprays again, although this time no pink. They're £14 each, in gold or copper, but there's 30% off instore and online from 22nd to 25th November.

Also, there's a free body butter collection worth £20 when you spend £30 instore, while stocks last

I am thinking of buying the bobbi brown travel brush set. does anyone have any bobbi brown brushes? Are they worth the price? Thanks in advance!

Yes I have a few, including last year's Bobbi Brown travel brush set. They're very good quality, at least as nice as my MAC brushes. However if you travel a lot you might also want to consider the Laura Mercier travel brush set - they're double ended and this year the set includes a full sized blush brush as well.

I bought the lucky bag also as I was very impressed with almost everything in the sample box thing they did a few month back but this one was kinda crap; I got a st topez tanning cream, mints, tweezerman nail files, soap, something from Dermologica and a free eye brow shape at blink in Selfridges which is the only thing I actually like. I think I'm most annoyed that there really wasn't any beauty items in the bag :/

I bought one too and it was similarly a bit crap... I got a full sized minty lip balm which was nice, a Bourjois nail varnish remover, beauty candy, vitamin supplements, and a mini Nails Inc nail varnish. Not sure I'd be in a hurry to buy another one.

I spent my HoF vouchers today, after dance class and after collecting my Guerlain Vol de Nuit shimmer powder (which was on clearance online). I got 2 of the Lancome Petit Trésor eyeshadows and the special offer £45 set in the sparkly gold bag. I do love a bit of sparkle! I was lucky - apparently they ran out of sets yesterday, but a delivery came in today. I swatched the Chanel blush, but it was much too sparkly for my cheeks despite being such a pretty colour. I didn't bother with the eyeshadow palette as it looked so small for the money.

Got to go back out in the rain shortly - it's "options evening" at my daughter's school. Not looking forward to the 20 minutes each way walk in the wind and rain

 

[Anitacska]

Nice!

Which Lancome shadows did you get? I've bought the silver and gold ones, passed on the bronze one. I also got the two eyeliners, they are gorgeous!

I'm wearing the Chanel quad today and it's really nice. I don't think it's any smaller than other Chanel palettes. I also got the blush and it's so pretty, although admittedly very sparkly. I just couldn't leave it.

I swatched those at the weekend and they're both absolutely gorgeous! How are you liking them? And how much product is in each? Thanks

 

[Anitacska]

I've only worn the silver one, but it's lovely. It's not actually silver, more taupe imo. There's 1 g in each of them, not a lot, but I have so many eyeshadows, I'll never use them up anyway. I'll be reviewing them on my blog tomorrow by the way.

I look forward to your review I thought it looked more taupe also. I love the sparkly packaging too!

I got the silver and gold ones I would describe the silver as taupe as well. The sparkly lids are just wow! Those and the gold case are so 50s Hollywood looking to me. I can quite imagine some of the girls at the rockabilly events wearing a slinky 50s dress, pinup style, and carrying one of those as a handbag.

I don't have any Chanel quads at all, but I was surprised how small the shadows in the quad looked compared to MAC or Urban Decay for example.

I liked the little Lancome pots of sparkly loose eyeshadow, too, but compared to the size of MAC pigments I found myself wondering whether I could justify them.

I was on the Selfridges twitter page and was surprised to find they where taking returns for the beauty bags! And by the looks of it alot of people are returning! If you got the spongy Bourjois nail polish remover I have to say its really good, I change my polish every day when I first got it!

Is anyone else having problems with Boots website? Twice in the last 24 hours I've seen it go offline for 'maintenance' and even now a lot of the links aren't working, in some cases even links from search results to product descriptions.
