UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Anitacska]

Just come back from Guidlford. I asked in HoF and the MUA said they're getting Strength next week, so I've decided to try and B2Mac for Absolute Power instead of getting Ronnie Red, I actually prefer the colour of AP on Christine, it looks slightly pinker.

That's great news! I might manage to get my hands on the lippies in that case

 

[toobusytostitch]

Thanks - might 'watch' that.

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.

Last night I checked Temptalia about the paint pots, and I saw that she recommended Benefit's Skinny Jeans instead of one of the ones that I was planning on buying. I found myself in Debenhams this afternoon, and took a look at the Benefit cream shadows. I really liked the look of them, so have used some points on Skinny Jeans - it's certainly gone on like a dream - just like a good paint pot, and has worn well so far (about four hours). There are lots more shades, so that might be where my Debenhams beauty points go for the next few months.

I've never tried those, I'm too scared to go to the Benefit counter, I might end up looking all orange if I do.

I do have some Benefit products, but none of them have bowled me over, so I'm not that fussed about the brand.

Funnily enough, the girl who served me looked VERY orange - and she had an orange dress with a white sort of pinafore over it. Actually looked very much orange Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. The only other product I have is the Bad Gal Light - which IS slightly orange, so rarely sees any use.

If anyone is sick of how expensive high street mascara is you should go to boots and pick up the Seventeen (17) range's new mascara doll'd up. I was a bit dubious at first because it's like a teen range i think but it is actually really good, better than ones twice the price and plus that i've tried.

As a bit of a bonus at the minute as there's an offer on so it's a quid off (so only £5 odd) AND you get a free 3 way dot liner.

I can't stand going to Benefit they are the pushiest sales people i've ever known for a cosmetics counter. I like and own a lot of their products but i also think some are ridiculously overpriced for the quality.

On a side note i read somewhere that Benefit are increasing the range of colours for their creaseless cream shadows soon

I saw that too - I'm really impressed with this one, so think I'll be stocking up! I suppose Benefit weren't particularly pushy on Sunday, as I knew exactly what I wanted. I hate pushy sales people - they're more likely to push me away than get me to purchase.

Totally agree - they are definitely the pushiest, most 'in your face' sales people around (other than double glazing sales people, of course). They won't just let you browse at leisure

I asked to try on the They're Real mascara, and the MA insisted on putting it on me herself. She put on so much that I had clumps galore and really itchy eyes afterwards

I agree about Benefit. However, I do want to get Skinny Jeans - Pixiwoo and Makeup and Beauty Blog rave about it. I have swatched it and it is beautiful, but the price makes me baulk a bit, especially since I plan to use it as a base, so it will be covered up. The new Creaseless Creams shades are very pretty too, they are releasing some gorgeous nude shade palettes with tiny pots of them, which I've only seen available in the USA, called World's Most Sexiest Nudes, Glamorous Nudes and Easiest Nudes, which have two CC's and 4 eyeshadows.

If I want to look at something on the Benefit counter, I wait until the SA is serving someone else, then nip over and swatch, then pick up the item I want and go straight to the till with it LOL.

Did you know Woolworths sold beauty products? I didn't until just now when I got an email about Valentines. http://www.woolworths.co.uk/e/q/beauty.end?aff=email&affsrc=AWWVAL31&cm_mmc=Email-_-130204+Valentines-_-HTML-_-Valentines+Gifts+Beauty

Skinny Jeans is out of stock.

It says it's in stock now! I would get it but I'm scared it might be too frosty :/

 

[Anitacska]

It isn't. When you try to add it to your basket it says it's out of stock.

Oh wow Crystal is 007 was wearing this shade in one of her recent videos and I was just tell myself I needed it!

Dragging the releases out this month aren't they! I'm petrified I'm going to miss my Strength lippys - need to phone the MAC store in Liverpool to reserve them on Thursday morning, to collect after work but I'm panicking that they will be sold out before I get to phone on my break!
