UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I totally agree. Our school has a Victorian day in year 1 every year, yet noone has thought of having some costumes in school, since those ones aren't exactly that easy to come by. They expect you to buy everything or borrow from others. My younger daughter has a Tudor day tomorrow and has to go in Tudor costume, luckily I managed to borrow from someone, but I mean really, can't the school buy some bits and pieces to loan out? Argh!

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.

Oh, we get that kind of thing all the time - and yes, Victorian is a nightmare They don't even keep to the same things every year - the Egyptian outfit that I got off ebay has only had one use. Like you, we share between different families, but nothing from school - and the children are told that it's optional to dress up - if anyone ever didn't they'd feel so left out of things, and some people go way over the top, with hand tailored items etc etc!

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

Yay glad to hear it's getting better


Just received an email from voucher codes; Debenhams have an extra 5% off beauty and fragrance ending midnight tonight, although they seemed to have excluded Chanel, MAC and Lancome The code is TV46

 

[rockin]

Until midnight tonight? Typical - I'd read somewhere that the Dita Golden Vintage Collection is due to go online tomorrow, although I don't know how true that is

 

[Anitacska]

At least it's still 10% off plus 500 bonus points. Ooh hope that's true, I'd really love to get the blush and the eyeshadows asap.

That would still be good for me - my youngest is home ill, so I'm home too! Can keep an eye on the Debenhams site

I've just got a tweet that the Goldne Vintage collection will launch today

 

[toobusytostitch]

..should have said ... at Debenhams

 

[Anitacska]

Yay! I have another extra 5% off beauty code, haven't tried it though, so may not work: it's YX24.

They're taking their time about it. I thought I'd get home from dance class and find it on the site ready to buy.


Luckily my newest postie has taken to delivering the parcels in the afternoon, so I didn't miss her today. My Love Makeup order arrived - a dome Z palette, some OCC pigments, and a pack of free samples of Embryolisse products plus a teeny tiny cute little pot of LimeCrime eye primer.

I also got my Amazon orders - 2 separate orders of one pair of earphones each (to take advantage of their Lightning Deals thing). Each earphone box is about 8cm x 6cm x 2cm, and the brown cardboard boxes each came in are 23.5cm x 16cm x 11cm - what a ridiculous waste of packaging! Plenty of brown paper in each to pad them out lol.

 

[Anitacska]

So I'm guessing it wont be today after all. Yawn! I'm going to Guildford tomorrow, will check to see if that Debenhams has it, plus get some of the new Laura Mercier Gilded eyeshadows with the 10% off and the £30 vouchers I have.

I know our nearest Debenhams doesn't have ArtDeco. I do, however, now have a bus pass for my son which enables him, and myself as his carer, to travel for free on local buses, which means that time permitting I might actually be able to go there from time to time. I don't think that one has anything that HoF doesn't, but at least I'll be able to spend my beauty club points there

Enjoy spending your vouchers

Nope. Can't get it to work.

 

[Anitacska]

Will do. I know the Guildford one has ArtDeco, I saw the (rather small) stand last time I was there. I also have £15 to spend in Debenhams. Wahey!

Do you ladies by any chance buy Yankee candles? If so, where is the cheapest/best place online to get them and do you know of any discount codes?

 

[Anitacska]

Oh poo.

Nope. Can't get it to work.

http://www.yankeedirect.com/special-offers/categories/50/up-to-50-off/?OrderBy=DISC&Search=&Fragrance=&ProdType=&OffCat=418&offset=&viewall=Y

They have some discounts 'while stocks last'.

I usually get mine in store from Clinton Cards (they have different fragrances on offer from time to time) and a Beales department store recently opened in our town - they had various candles, wax tarts and even the jars to put votives in on offer. Garden centres often have them, too.

 

[rockin]

OK, I just got another email from yankeedirect today.

Yankeedirect.com now have:

2 for £27 on selected large jars
2 for £23 on selected medium jars
2 for £11 on selected small jars

Free gift with purchase - spend over £25 and choose one free gift. Choice varies with amount spent http://www.yankeedirect.com/free-gifts/

They also have a loyalty point scheme


They are on Facebook too http://www.facebook.com/yankeedirect

Still no ArtDeco at Debenhams then? I popped into the Guildford store, but they only had the Dita fall collection. I did get the baked highlighter in the end, what with 10% off and £15 on my Beauty card I didn't mind paying £12 for it. It is very pretty to be fair.

 

[toobusytostitch]

They're getting very slow with getting things on-line! I believe Dita herself was at some grand launch at Debenhams in London yesterday - that must be what the rumours were about?
