UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Yes, I know, but it's still only £15 a month and I have about £180 sitting on my account that I can't access at all. £15 a month doesn't go far at all.

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.

Thanks! Hopefully Debenhams put the new MAC collections up before the Thursday and we can use it then
I need to buy some NW10 Studio Fix though so it's useful anyway!

You're insanely lucky.

Not sure if u guys are interested in the year of the snake collection by mac, but I read its a Harrods, Selfridges and mac online exclusive. Did not realise Harrods sold mac, but they have an event for the collection on January 31st.

 

[Anitacska]

I only know about 2 Debenhams in London, one on Oxford Street and one in Westfield. The Oxford St one doesn't have Mac, but has pretty much every other brand, definitely Guerlain, that's where I spend my points on Guerlain. The Westfield one is smaller, it only has the more common counters, no Guerlain, don't remember exactly which ones. I think you can do a search on the Debenhams website and it tells you what brands each store has.

I've yet to try any of MAC's foundations. I dunno which I'd even go for to be honest. I only assume I'm NC15 due to the Temptalia foundation matrix as it matches my other brands because last time I was matched as NW20 and I was orange. I cried, lol.

I'm tempted by them, but eh. Also damn nervous of it being the wrong colour and being out of pocket as I dunno anyone who is into make-up lol.

Just seen this alternative no-heat depotting method, which might be of interest http://maquillageobscura.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/depot.html

It seems we WILL be getting the Urban Decay OZ palettes here in the UK. Debenhams have said on Facebook that they will be available next week 'exclusively online'

Mix and matching your own naked palette = genius! I wish i'd known this before. my palettes got brutalised in the depotting process.

Hey guys. Just popping in to say that i'm raising money for my car tax and such and have posted up a sales tread. Got quite a few bits to start off and will add more throughout the week. Thanks!

 

[amy_forster]

Seems we're all raising money at the moment Lou I've just posted a sale thread in the clearance bin too as I need to seriously declutter my stash due to the impending arrival of a little one in the near future & any funds raised would be much appreciated (but I'll still be popping over to have a nosey at yours , not that I need anything else!)

 

[Anitacska]

I've finally made it to Guildford to pick up my Stereo Rose and the Chanel highlighter (which is GORGEOUS!). I didn't buy anything else, but I saw the Estee Lauder gelee powder blush in HoF and it's so pretty! I'll wait for it to hit Debenhams, so I can get it with either my points (plus I have a £16 voucher) or Boots, so I can get some extra Adv Card points.

Oh and I got matched for YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation for fun, got a 7 day sample and a free Forever Youth Liberator sample. I can't use the foundation right now because I was selected to try a new foundation (not sure if I'm allowed to say it's Lancome?) and have to keep using it for 4 weeks. Not a problem though as it's pretty nice.

How clever! I can see more depotting in my future - I've not tried anything that might require heat yet.

According to Twitter:

"No7's answer to the Clarisonic is out tomorrow and it's on offer for £15!"

 

[Anitacska]

I hated my Clarisonic, did nothing to my skin whatsoever. Give me Mac VAE any day!

[rockin]

I don't have a Clarisonic. I think it's way too expensive for what it is. I could be tempted by the Boots one if it's any good, but it's not top of my list of priorities.

I'm waiting for the Estee Lauder gelee blush to go on sale, as I have Boots points to buy it with. However, I'm wondering if the MAC ones that will be coming out will have more product for the money. Certainly the EDES had more product than the Estee Lauder equivalents

I don't know what happened with my Clarisonic - I did absolutely love it, but somehow it's disappeared from my routine! Might dig it out and try again.

I've got the Rio version of the clarisonic which i think was about 45 squid which i use every time i clean my face and really helps get rid of the flakiness of my dry skin and leaves it nice and soft.

I think the Rio and the No7 one are just oscillating face brushes without the "sonic" element. I think in reality this just means the clarisonic oscilates a lot more times a second and supposedly is better because it gets deeper down muck without being as harsh a bit like a sonic toothbrush!

i get very dry flaky skin in the winter time and the clarisonic has worked wonders for my skin but it was very expensive... but now i have it i love it. but it was a luxury purchase... but i was spending like £40 on moisturisers/face wash every month or so trying new ones to see if they worked or exfoliants to see if they helped and moisture masks none of them helped my skin... i was venturing into origins and clarins products and they are damn expensive and werent really helping that much. now i can use a £5 moisturiser and a £6 face wash, so i guess it all works out in the long run?
