UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I agree, the Chanel collection was several days late online too.

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?

I was going to tell you all more about my shopping trip today, but never got around to it, had the most manic afternoon ever. Had to make cupcakes for cake sale at school tomorrow, then take the children for their 4.50 dentist appointment... only to realise at 4.23 that the appointment was in fact at 4.30!!! Cue massive rush and leaving half baked cakes in the oven, we actually managed to get there by 4.35! The cakes turned out a bit dry (I did remember to switch the oven off luckily), but they are now all iced and decorated, everyone's been fed and I'm about to drop off, lol.

Anyway, I bought loads in Guildford today. First I picked up all 4 of the Laura Mercier gilded eyeshadows from HoF, I only wanted one or two, but they are all very pretty. I only paid £42 instead of £80 for them due to the 10% off and my £30 vouchers. I also bought loads of nail polish, Barry M, MUA, 17 and Topshop. I hate Topshop, they always have so many new pretty glitter nail polish, and I just can't resist them. I think I'll give up on my nail polish no-buy plans, might as well, it's not working.

I bought 3 new glittery n/p from there last weekend - they're always really great quality for only about £6!

They also have a loyalty point scheme

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

Thank you, I've placed an order. The one thing I love about Christmas are the Christmas scents.

any idea why US dept stores that ship to the UK no longer ship cosmetics? They definitely used to, because a few years back I had ordered from them (think they shipped everything but nail polish back then)

Had been hoping I could order from Taste Temptations that way, was surprised to find none of them ship cosmetics!

 

[Anitacska]

No idea. I'm sure you can get someone on here to CP you some things, there are many lovely, kind US ladies on here.

Forgot to say, I also got 4 Sally Hansen HD nail polishes for £1 each in Poundland! They are really pretty colours, a yellow, a green, a shimmery blue and a teal.

According to this, Debenhams will have the Golden Vintage collection up tomorrow

When does the 10% discount thing end? I can't seem to find a date for it

 

[Anitacska]

I'll believe it when I see it, lol. The 10% off is until end of Sunday I think. Also there is now 1000 bonus points for £50 spend on beauty & fragrance!

Got all excited about the extra 10% off email from Debenhams. Only it excludes Beauty, again, go figure. Tight asses.

I have no clue what MAC collections are coming out next month, but maybe it'll coincide with the 15% off
Thanks for the heads-up!

Need to find out if it'll be in store. If so, I'll save my purchase from the 10% to wait for the 15%. Texting a friend who works in Debs to find out, hopefully he'll know.

I'd get from them, but I have £15 for Debs to spend. I'd like a 50ml of the Vera Wang - Lovestruck perfume as I'm nearly finished my 30ml and it's my go-to and it's lasted me since August 26th 2011. I've worked out with the 10% off and my £15 that the bottle will be £28.20 instead of £48. Can't complain about that. Now just to figure out if the 15% will be in store to see if I can save a few more pennies.

Cool! Was gonna buy the Art Deco Dita stuff in London tomorrow (going to see Europe in Shepherds Bush), but might as well hold out until Monday and order them then. Ooh and Mac. Someone said we're getting the pressed pigments this month.

Did anyone actually like the pressed pigments? It just looked like dirty grit on my face. I know the new ones are supposed to be colourful but are they going to be the same texture?

 

[gracie90]

I did a live chat and the only new things we get this month are the pressed pigments on the 13th apparently!

Time to buy perm products instead

 

[Anitacska]

I did. But I didn't use it on my face. Use it as eyeshadows. BobbI Brown and Laura Mercier do very similar ones and I like those too. Oh and the Urban Decay Stardust ones.
