UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I'm bidding on one of those holo polishes on eBay right now, it will be my first linear one if i win.

I picked up Stay the Night from the OPI Mariah Carey collection and though it's one of those textured liquid sand ones it looks a million times better with a couple of layers of topcoat so the glitter has chance to shine, it's really pretty.

I don't know what to do about Strength. I don't want to miss out on the lippies, but I probably need to swatch a couple of them, plus I want my HoF/Debenhams points!

I was hoping nicki would be up too. Strength is a skip for me. Already have pp which is the only unique one for me

I was thinking of getting Taupe Shape and Poised, but I've just seen Temptalia's reviews and she reckons Taupe Shape is almost frosty - I would prefer something more matte. Poised looks more orange than I thought it would be from the description, too (MAC say muted pinkish-brown). I have been wanting Absolute Power, but do I really need another red?

Vampy Varnish has her Revlon BB cream review up http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2013/01/revlon-photoready-bb-cream-lightmedium-swatches-review

Oh I so hate that - I've gone and ordered three Color Tattoo Metal Spring 2013 from a seller in the US - I've asked for a low value of $15 valuation, and she's said that's OK. I hate the £8 from the Royal Mail particularly - paying more to get your parcel delayed for ages. Not good

Strangely enough Strength is a total skip for me too. Unusual for a MAC release that I really don't like any of it much!

I was good. Only ordered Glinda. Not even tempted by the other one.

And now I'm worried, as Glinda has arrived before Theodora (I ordered Theodora two days before Glinda). I don't think it's been left with a neighbour, as they're normally good at bringing things round. I do like Glinda though - more than I actually thought that I would. I agree that the palette is over-bulky though. I even really like the 'extras' - the liner and the lip pencil. Definitely happy I did a very quick look with it - and the one that I've seen criticised for having a lot of glitter/fall-out actually worked really well for me as a crease colour - surprising as I'm usually one to have loads of glitter fall out from anything at all! Mine actually doesn't seem to have much glitter - a good thing, not bad!

I've just seen the Illamasqua I'mperfection collection is live on their website! I really love those blushes and speckled nail varnishes. I'm leaving it for tonight, as I think I'm in a dangerous mood, and could easily over-spend - my eldest has just heard that he's got a job - he dropped out of uni last March and nothing but 12 weeks unpaid work experience since! Will leave any more shopping until we all calm down. Really like those nail varnishes though - they're so much like Cadbury Mini Eggs!

Oh well, since I got one Aztec Brick eyeshadow for free which I can sell on eBay next time there's free listing, that should cancel out the £11 charge. It's just annoying and I will be sure to leave negative feedback for the seller. Let's just hope the nail polish are okay.

I haven't even swatched Glinda, been wanting to take pictures for the blog, but I went to IKEA with a friend today and yesterday was very busy too. Hopefully tomorrow.

I just got the new sleek lipsticks, some gorgeous colours and mac dupes.

Tangerine scream = morange

succumb = touch

smother = rebel

loved up = girl about town

plush = moxie

russian roulette = viva glam I

Exxagerate looks like it could be a strong woman dupe from the online swatches but i've not recieved SW yet to compare.

Glinda just arrived. I'm so glad I chose this palette, as I love and can use every colour in it. Aura looks very pale in the pan, but both colours in it are so pretty on my skin.

Both my palettes arrived yesterday. I agree about Aura, really pretty. The pinkier shade is perfect for inner corner/tear duct IMO.

I skipped Strength, it didn't appeal to me enough.
I did order a Stylish Brow product though (the raved about Brow Gels)
MAC is getting so much of my money these days.

 

[Anitacska]

Me too, I didn't get any of the lipsticks and they're now sold out, so if other stores don't get the collection, then that's it anyway. Christine says Ronnie Red is very similar to Absolute Power, so it was gonna be one or the other anyway. Strong Woman appeals to me, but I have several purples and never reach for them, so might as well not bother.

Are the new collections out at counters now, does anyone know? I'm taking my younger daughter shopping tomorrow, so might pop into HoF and see if I can get the two new paint pots.

i was in town yesterday n popped into my local HoF and there was nothing new there. They still had après chic as their showcase. I was in a bit of a hurry so I did not stop to chat with the girls to get any info on anything tho.

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. Maybe it's next Thursday then. I might ask tomorrow anyway.

There was nothing new at MAC in Debs today!

I'd forgotten about the paint pots - I'm not sure if I'll bother with them either - there's only two of them that I don't have, I think. I wasn't too impressed with the Cham-pale ones first time round though.
