I got Pink Zinc, Sinister and Halo - a couple of others look quite tempting, will see how I like these three firstI haven't had my dispatch e-mail yet.I need to check out those shadow paints, but I haven't seen them yet. Which colours did you order? Let me know how you like them.
Ladies, don't forget, the Chanel spring collection is coming out this Friday! Also I believe the Dior one as well.
I like the look of the new Dior collection - still not sure about Chanel though - I've only ever been disappointed with Chanel makeup for some reason.

Thanks - interesting to see how you depotted your Naked palettes - I've got my eye on doing a couple of other palettes, but haven't yet dared to try one of the type that don't just come apart easily! My Too Faced ones are a little bulky too - might be next....

I've just done my naked palettes this morning ("working" from home hehe) was a lot easier than i though. i followed the guide for Naked 1 but saw i didn't need to for naked 2 as i could see the eyeshadows were really quite loose so i just popped a thin knife where i could see the gaps next to each eyeshadow and they popped right out. I popped the insert out of the Naked basics with a kinfe and then just applied heat to the bottom and they came out like a dream once the glue had melted a little.
So that's every palette done! The best thing about this (apart from seeing what i actually have) is i won't buy another UD palette unless it's more unique because through doing this there's just so many multiples of shades i just didn't quite grasp the extent of before.

Hi ladies, I'm lucky enough to have £25 in Boots points and a £20 Boots voucher. Quite fancy trying out some high end lipsticks, so I'd love to know which formulas you recommend?
I've just got a Chanel Rouge Coco Shine (in 55 Romance) and a YSL Glossy Stain (in 5 Rouge Vintage) - I think I've got the high-end lippy bug! I was looking at the Dior Diorifics and Chanel Rouge Allure (Matte, Satin or Laque?).
Any tips would be great! Looking at your blog now too Anita as I know you have some lovely high end pieces!

I really like the Rouge Allure formula (not the matte ones). The Laques are okay, but I don't get the big hype about them. I know Christine from Temptalia is a big fan of the red one, I have it but I don't think it's that special. I actually like the Guerlain Rouge G formula the best, but sadly Boots don't stock Guerlain.

If you can find a Chanel Rouge Allure Laque I would say get it! It's my favourite lipgloss formula and I hate that they are discontinued! My fav shades are Pheonix and Mandarin. The normal Rouge Allure formula is excellent also and I like the Mattes but I wish they had a larger shade range. HTH

The red never worked for me either but that's because it is too blue based and makes me look older but I do love the formula! I have yet to try the Guerlain Rouge G formula! I can't believe I still haven't as it gets so much raves!I really like the Rouge Allure formula (not the matte ones). The Laques are okay, but I don't get the big hype about them.

I only have one Chanel lipstick, but I love it - it's a perfect red for me. It's Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in 207 Famous

Just a word of advice, I have ordered from them before and their customer service was seriously rubbish. Would not buy from them again.

How cool! Good for you, if people are prepared to pay that much. But isn't CYY permanent already, or is it just the US?

Thats really good!
I have held off ebaying this month as I thought being January people wouldn't have any money, I was obviously wrong!
I bought a Dymo label maker this morning with pink and blue tape from ebay, going to use it to make labels for my inside lid of my mac palettes with the shade names. I am also going to finish depotting my single shadows into my spare old mac palette this weekend to make more space, most of them are already depotted but I have about 12 which I never seem to get round to depotting as I went through a phase of prefering the pots, but now I don't use them as its too hard to store them in a way where I can see the colours at a glance, so I think it my be best to depot them.
I have a spare duo palette and quad palette that I can put a small selection into for travel so it should just improve there usage.
I thought I might also label the outside of the palettes with Neutral / Presses Pigments etc to make them easier to identify in the morning rush.
Really tempted to depot my UD palettes and too faced palettes, but not sure whether to store in a Unii palette (Heavy) or Z palette (not a fan of the cardboard), anyone got any other suggestions? the only other alternative would be a new mac 15 pan palette without the insert?

You can turn any box or tin into a palette, if you put a sheet of metal or magnetic sheet (you can get it from craft shops) in the bottom, depending on whether your pans are magnetic or not. I've seen people use pencil tins before, like you get sets of coloured pencils in.
