I think it's march from what I've seen in the press. Company magazine had a little picture about it & I'm sure it mentioned march

Unfortunately I'm going to have to add to my 'must have' list with the Estee Lauder release - Pretty Naughty http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/cms/whatsnew/coming_soon.tmpl . I can easily resist the matte lipsticks, but I love the powder gelee blush AND the eyeshadow palette.

Yes, that powder gelee blush is definitely on my must have list. The eyeshadows aren't as they're not powder gelee formula.
The Chanel highlighter powder is already sold out on the HoF website, luckily mine is waiting to be picked up in Guildford (together with my Stereo Rose that I STILL haven't picked up!).

I need to try swatch the Chanel highlighter - it's so pretty but I don't really need anymore highlighters!

So I'm really unhappy with my local Debenhams.
I went in last week as I have £30 to spend on my beauty card. Nothing took to me. Not a thing.
I checked the UD counter, looked at the Basics and Vice palette - neither really made me WANT it, you know?
Anyway they've gotten rid of a lot of brands and replaced them with a ridiculous "brow bar".
I went to YSL, Dior, etc. Nothing struck me. I was looking at some of the palettes on display at Dior and they were so glittery and fall-out-ville on my finger I couldn't bring myself to buy something that expensive, even if it would've worked out to barely paying anything. I just can't justify it if it's poor quality.
We don't have Chanel or Guerlain anymore so both of those were out, didn't bother with Estee lauder or Clinique, Art Deco didn't strike me. I dislike Benefit and Bare Minerals didn't call to me either.
I absolutely hate that you have to use points in store - I never see anything in store that I want. Why can't they be like boots and do it online? I'd earn more Boots points but I honestly haven't been buying much lately other than MAC which they obviously don't sell, so I never gain points from them. Problem is you have to redeem the Debenhams points within 6 months, so if I don't then I'll lose them or force myself to buy something I don't even care about much to justify my hard earned points not going to waste lol.

Although I am desperately cutting down this blush is the only thing I want from spring collections. Does anyone know when the collection is due out ?

Yeah, Debenhams is a bit of a pain with their Beauty Card, although I usually find something in my local Debenhams to spend my points on (Lancome or Estee Lauder usually) and if not, I often go to London. Since they only convert £15 worth of points at a time, I don't ever have a big balance waiting to be spent. I do like it that they give you free delivery though unlike Boots or House of Fraser, where you have to have a minimm order value to qualify or pick up from store. I still haven't made it to Guildford to pick up my Stereo Rose and I'm afraid I might not be able to again for a while due to this snow. It's been snowing here since 8 am and we've got quite a coverage now. I'm too chicken to drive in the snow, so I'm hoping it'll melt soon.

I only started buying MAC 2 years ago, and I've been at uni for 4 years and the Chester one's been there since my early teens. It didn't seem like a big deal but I know I'm really lucky! We also have a freestanding in Cardiff and a CCO a 15 minute drive from Chester. Makes MAC even harder to resist

Snowy afternoon resulted in finishing my depotting and labelling my palettes which I depotted a couple of years ago

My card has £30 of points on it to be spent. I didn't use the £15 in December so they've carried over to January and they converted the other £15. I double checked and in store it says I have a balance of £30 - so I guess if you don't use them one month, you get them and the next amount to use at the same time.

I might make the attempt to go and get the couple of things in the up-coming release from Estee Lauder - but I'm guessing the blush will sell out almost immediately, and I can't always take the time out to go to Sutton - I might get the blush on-line, and try for the kajal pencil and the palette in-store; I'm thinking they might not sell out quite so quickly.
Mine is only a couple miles. I'd get some more Clarins skincare as that's what I've been using but honestly I'm not impressed with it and I'm waiting on my Michael Todd True Organics to arrive to try that out.
I dunno, I seem to be quite bored with make-up at the moment. If the points didn't expire I wouldn't even care to find anything. When does the Estee Lauder collection come out? Are there swatches online already of it? I'll take a look to see if any of that interests me.
I kind of want to use my points for more "luxury" brands that aren't MAC/UD, as I can't possibly afford to buy high end stuff on a regular basis. Ah well.
