I only want 2 of the paint pots, I have the others already. Is Making Pretty the couture collection? That's a skip then. I kind of want the purple lipstick from Strength, but actually I don't even wear the purples I already have and I'm on a lipstick no-buy anyway. I might pick up Ronnie Red from Archie instead as it's so pretty, even though I have plenty other reds too.
Ronnie Red looks great can't wait for this collection to come out!

I was going to get the Estee Lauder blush when it arrives at Boots, using my points, but considering the fact that our counter tend to get very small amounts of such products, and the 10% discount at Debenhams, I've gone ahead and bought it from Debenhams. I got a MAC 242 brush as well, so not only do I get the 10% on that as well, but I qualify for the extra points.

I've ordered mine too, especially as the MUA at the Debenhams counter didn't even know when it was coming out, and I didn't want to risk it selling out.

I got this from my counter yesterday, they only had 4 in!, the testers/stand wasn't out but when I asked when it was out, she said they already had it and let me have one! Haven't used it yet though, was very late up this morning and nearly missed my dentist appointment.

I pass the professional exam I sat in Nov on tuesday so the blush was my little treat, my big treat is my holiday this year, getting very excited, going to book it next week!

Blimey, they sent the e-mail out at the same time as the collection released?

I've ordered Once Upon A Time and Aztec Brick, mostly for the packaging, but I don't have those eyeshadows anyway.
Did I really say I wasn't interested in these? I made the mistake of taking another look, and ended up with all the eyeshadows, one of the pigments (the purple one) and the Beauty powder and the eye-liner

. Ah well, I'm not getting the Guerlain

Oh now I don't know what to do!!! The lovely Karen at EL in House of Fraser did say that she didn't know how many she'd be getting - though I'm first on the list, so just hoping that she'll get at least one! Won't know until Wednesday when I've arranged to go and collect - with the GWP that is only starting on Wednesday......

Just been naughty and purchased this... I really have been enjoying the laura mercier kit I got in the space nk sale at christmas and its a bargin for what you get. I might sell the extra palette on ebay as I don't need to keep it as it will be an excuse to fill it, this should recoup some of the cost.

On the plus side I still haven't used the 2 Chantecaille quads I purchased in the space nk sale so I think I am going to list them on ebay as I should be able to make back my money as they only cost me £35 each, I might even make a little bit of profit. This should cover the cost of the LM palette and give me some extra cash towards my holiday.

My big worry is the new mac extra dimension collection when it comes out, I love the sound of about 4 shadows and blush is my big weakness, I want them all:-(

hang on and get the gwp, my local debenhams has a really small el counter, if you know she is going to hold when it comes in you should be fine.

Or alternatively order online and return once you know if hof got it in?

I'd be interested to buy the empty LM palette off you at a reasonable price. :) I'm also still after your Perfect Topping MSF, please remember me if you decide to sell it.

That would be great, it would save on ebay fees! PM me and we can sort out the details.

Still deciding on the MSF, the collection is shrinking but some things are hard to let go of even when you know you don't use them, you are first inline when I do decide though!

My holiday is proving to be an added incentive to clear out though as I want to replace my camera with a DSLR and I said I would fund it out of clearing out my make up and clothes etc, therefore the quicker I clear out the sooner I can buy and the more time I get to play with it before my holiday. its such a shame that ebay only lets you list 10 beauty things every 30 days, it even includes make up bags and stuff which means clearing out is a long drawn out process.

I have the money for the holiday deposit and can afford to pay for the holiday before the balance is due, but it will restrict my beauty spending as I can't haul and have the holiday, so it should restrict me to one or two items a month which will help make things more manageable!
I decided that I will list all the BNIB expensive stuff first like the Chantecaille and Guerlain Liu Palette first to try to generate the cash for the camera faster, I am so excited!

Another BB cream to be avoided.

Vampy Varnish just tweeted:


Testing the new Revlon BB Cream. Looked in the mirror after 4 hours of wear and it looked like I shellacked my face with lard.

Actually decision made - she phoned me this afternoon to say that she's definitely got all that I want, and will hold for me until Wednesday lunchtime (when I'll be passing anyway on the way to the bank).

Um, I'm guessing that's not a recommendation then?? I've tried a fair few BB cream, but not Revlon. Think I'll leave it :)

I've got a small recommendation - for dry skins anyway - on a recent Bobbi Brown order I got a small(ish) sample of the Extra Balm Rinse. I'm definitely going to purchase the full size - it's like lemon curd, with an orange aroma - slightly odd, but I love it. It's great for my dry skin, that is feeling really extra dry after the cold weather - all the redness has gone, and I LOVE the lemon/orange aroma that lingers for ages. Really good at getting the make-up off too. I see that it's quite pricy - at £42, but I am so going to get some when there's a good offer on Bobbi Brown!
