UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

Maybe contact them with the order details and let them know about the e-mail address. They'll still deliver fine, I'm sure though.

Thanks for letting us know of the offer I just bought Blagger nail polish as I've been wanting it for ages!

I also bought a few candles from Zara home taking advantage of their 20% offer but I made a mistake when typing in my email address and I didn't realise until after I had checked out :/ I've changed my email address with them now but do you guys think I should be worried as they have sent that email address my confirmation email?

 

[rockin]

Oh yes, I forgot about the Art Deco Dita collection, I do need a couple of things from it!

Which eyeshadow did you pass on? I nearly left the white one behind, but I though, might as well get it. Hope they're good!

I skipped the bronze one, same as with the Lancome Christmas ones.

I've just bought the copper sparkler from The Body Shop. I wasn't going to, but then they sent me a 35% off code and it would've been rude to refuse. Not that I use the pink or gold ones that I already own, but what the heck!

I don't use the pink one I bought last year, but I bought the gold and copper this year. What are we like? Be careful - I pulled the stopper out of the nozzle of the copper one and got a lap full of powder where some had obviously collected behind the nozzle. I discovered a little really does go a long way

 

[Anitacska]

Crazy, obsessed, addicted? That's why we're here every day, several times a day, lol!

Hopefully you managed to change your email address before they set to work on your order. Like Anita said, it wouldn't do any harm to give them a ring or email them as well to check. It's the postal address that matters, though, right?

Just received my HoF vouchers, £30! Woohoo! I think I'll be spending them on the new Laura Mercier gilded eyeshadows (well, 1.5 of them, lol).

My Debenhams and Cocktail Cosmetics orders have arrived. My parents have too, though, so I won't be able to play with my goodies until this evening.

 

[Anitacska]

Is that the one you placed yesterday?

Yep, they're always very fast with orders

 

[Anitacska]

Cool. I only placed mine in the evening, so I guess I can expect it on Monday (if they post on Saturdays at all).

Yep, they're always very fast with orders

I've never really understood about Z Palettes - I've googled them, and they do seem like a good idea - certainly for things like the Urban Decay Books of Shadow - I need to declutter, so am considering it. I'd be worried to death about prising shadows out of palettes though - don't they break up?

 

[toobusytostitch]

Lol, I know - I got two last year, and certainly haven't finished them. Am still considering getting this years!

I checked my email this morning to find I had received a confirmation email from them a few minutes after I had gone to bed so I'm hoping that they never sent one to the other email *fingers crossed* as my address and phone number was on the email. I really should stop online shopping at night as I'm extra careless when I'm sleepy

Rockin - hope you like your goodies when you get a chance to play with them! I've never ordered from Cocktail cosmetics before so it's good to know they deliver fast
have Debenhams improved their delivery? I haven't ordered from them for a while...!

 

[Anitacska]

I've depotted lots of UD palettes and those are very easy as they're all cardboard. The singles are harder, you have to heat those same as the Mac singles. I haven't depotted any of my BOS, but I might do, esp, the NYC one and the 4th one as they're bulkier and not as pretty as others.

I think they have, although I never really had a problem with them, most time I've ever had to wait was about 5 days or so.

I think thats usually how long my parcels take to arrive 4-5 days - guess I'm just impatient!

Hve you seen the guerlain spring collection? It looks lovely! Though I've still got to pick up a few pieces from the christmas collection!

Hurry, the Black Friday sale ends midnight tonight (UK time)!

Thanks a lot, rockin!

I've bought a few Orly nailpolishes I was after. I am happy these will be arriving from the UK, so I won't have to wait so long, as I would have to wait if I had ordered them on Ebay from the US. I've also spent quite a bit on Sugarpill's website, since they were having 30% off sale on Friday (and it is still on until tomorrow night, I believe, but it is now 20 % off).

I'd order direct from Sugarpill, but knowing my luck I'd get stung by Customs when my order arrived. Our 'allowance' before having to pay duty and postman's charges for collecting said duty is tiny.

My Beautybay.com order is due to be delivered today, with my ArtDeco Glamour collection. Can't wait to try the Glam Couture eyeshadows

Argh i'm such an idiot, i've just been stung by a fake MAC brush on eBay. Been after a 180 for a looong time so when one came up i was kind of blinded by lust and didn't research properly and i ended up forking out £45 but it's arrived today and it's so fake it's unreal, hairs falling out all over the place and shoddy workmanship in the extreme :-( Hope i can get a refund

That sucks It's a lot of money, too. I really hope you are able to get a refund. Was it a private seller, or a business one?

I've got doubts myself about a "Blanc Terriblement" YSL highlighter I bought on ebay. It looks legit to me, and even has the monogrammed fabric band around the palette, but the weight both on the box and on the palette itself says 10,8g rather than 10.8g. There's a decimal point where the weight is stated in ounces, but a comma where it is stated in grammes. Does anyone know if this is as it should be or not?

Benefit have the "Looking to rock Rita" EDT and the "Cabana Glama" kit at 50% off today on their website. Offer ends at midnight





I've just got a card in the post from House Of Fraser. They are having a 2 day Brand Event on Thursday and Friday this week (from 5pm on Wednesday online). It's "Up to 40%" but as usual beauty is only 10%. For anyone with HoF rewards, it states "Please note that Rewards WILL be accepted as payment during this event", which has to be good news. Usually they don't accept them during events like this now.
