UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

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?

I've opened a case so fingers crossed. I think they are a private seller though they have quite a few cosmetic items for sale.

Hmmm this is a tough one. I work with quite a few French people at work and i have often seen them use a comma instead of a decimal place when writing down numbers and obviously YSL is a French brand. I would have expected it to be consistent though unless it's just a typo

Is that the newest highlighter? If it is, it's probably real. In Hungary people use comma instead of decimal point, so would write 10,8 g. It might be the same in France.

Just had an email from beautybay.com they were overwelmed by the black friday promotion so there will be delays in sending stuff out :-( Shame since I was really looking forward to trying my new cleansing balm, my skin isn't very happy at the moment due to the change in temperature!

Never mind at least they communicated it which is better than other online retailers.

I am off into town at lunch time to look for a new morning cleanser, fancying trying ren for a change? Anyway have any thoughts?

 

[charlotte366]

Ebay/Paypal should refund you in a case situation for this I hope! fingers crossed

Yay! Thanks for letting me know. I have £30 to spend, was going to go tomorrow, but will go Thursday or Friday instead.

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.

It's last year's - the 3 colour one. Glad to hear it might be genuine after all. It just worried me that it had the decimal point in the ounces, but a comma in the gram weight.

My Beautybay order has arrived. I was surprised so many things fit in such a small box, with room to spare, but then the Glam Couture eyeshadows aren't boxed, so that saves some space, and the regular eyeshadows are tiny anyway. The Glam Stars ones are boxed, nonetheless.

I really think they should put names as well as numbers on products, where space allows. That's probably the only minor niggle I have with these.

The Glam Couture eyeshadows (the round, fancy ones) are quite subtle, but very pretty. Same with the blush - no garish colours with ArtDeco.

 

[Anitacska]

I might have that one actually (isn't it terrible that I don't even know if I do???), I certainly have many YSL products, I'll have a look in a minute. EDIT: I don't have it, but Googled it and a blogger has a picture of the back and it says 10,8 g, so I'm sure yours is the real deal. I once bought a fake YSL eyeshadow quad and it was so obviously fake, I'm sure anyone would've realised.

My BeautyBay order is due within the next hour - yay!

And Ladies, don't forget Debenhams has 10% off beauty and 500 bonus points (for £40 spend).

I've been using Olay Gentle cleanser since college so it has been about 2 1/2 years and I love it - definitely recommend!

Edit: Posted about an offer, but it doesn't seem to work

Looking into my crystal ball, I can see expansion of Urban Decay into China now...

Don't forget it's Boots' Points Event again this week. Ours is on Thursday and I have a bonus 500 point voucher. I'm not sure whether I can afford anything now though (other than using points)

 

[Anitacska]

Uh oh...

Thank you - it's much better already today - might get away with some makeup tomorrow for work!

NYX sale, anyone? http://www.nyxcosmeticsstore.co.uk/acatalog/SALE.html

How do you like the ArtDeco Glam Couture stuff? I've not had any time to swatch them, want to take pictures first, but they only arrived at 2.30 and I didn't have time. They look pretty, but I'm a bit disappointed that the silvery one isn't more blue, I'm sure it looked blue in the pictures.

My Coctail Cosmetics order was only dispatched today, but hopefully it'll get here tomorrow.

Got lots of goodies in the post today - yay! The postman really hates me now, he was grumpier than ever, lol. Haven't tried anything, I had to do some shopping (costumes for Christmas plays, etc.), and now off to help at school, but maybe tomorrow I'll finally have some time to play.

The silver does appear to have a slight blue tinge to it once swatched on the back of my hand, but it looks very silver in the pot. The white, although it doesn't look it in the pot, has a slight pink tinge, a little like MAC Pink Opal. The taupe is beautiful. I also have the pinks, which are very pretty as well. They all have a wonderful sheen which shows best when the light hits them.

I haven't tried any of them on my eyes yet, as I'm currently trying the Too Faced Glitter Glue with some FaceFront glitter. I have that on one eye and Urban Decay Primer Potion on the other. The Too Faced is thicker than the UD, and I have been able to apply the glitter thicker on that one, so more colour. So far, minimal fallout on both, although some of that could just be the glitter that landed on my eyelashes while I was applying it.

LOL, I love it when lots of goodies arrive. Sadly, nothing arrived for me today, apart from my home insurance renewal quotes. I am expecting a few things, like my Z Palette from Love Makeup (which usually arrives next day, but hasn't this time) and some bits and pieces from ebay and Amazon. They'll probably all arrive tomorrow while I'm out at my dance class, and I'll have to wait until Friday for them to be redelivered.

It bugs me how schools expect parents to fork out for costumes for school plays. Schools do Christmas plays every year - surely they should have a stock of costumes that can be re-used? They seem to forget that not all parents have the money, or the time to go searching for or making costumes that will be worn only once.
