Yes, I wonder if those stores know their name is being used in the sales pitch?
Strength is going up on Debenhams. Some of the links don't work yet, but probably will soon

I'm pretty sure I've come across those people as well. It was a while ago in BHS I was looking at the jewellery and one of them came to me and asked if I like make up and started showing me all these things they had and telling me how fantastic they were, but I told her I didn't need any more make up and managed to get away. But I remember now she handed me some "free" stuff, of course it was only "free" if you bought the other, overpriced crap.
I really try to avoid these sellers now, I was once cornered by a Dead Sea Minerals (I think that's what it's called) lady in Debenhams and she sold me some hand stuff. She lowered the price twice when I said it was too much and I still ended up paying way too much. Never again.
Forgot to say, I've ordered the new ArtDeco palette and 4 eyeshadows and the iridescent nail polish from BeautyBay, since the Guildford Debenhams didn't have it yet, plus I also ordered the new Too Faced heart blush, it's so pretty.

The ArtDeco collection still isn't up on Debenhams' website, or I would have included that in my order today. I've ordered Absolute Power, and 2 of the paint pots. I love the Too Faced heart shaped blush, but I've had to tell myself I don't need it as I have so many other blushes that I haven't even made a dent in yet - that, and money is getting a bit tight lately. I did want Taupe Shape and/or Poised, but the reviews I've seen so far make it sound like they're a bit orange. Still, it's money saved
I noticed during checkout that I had to 'click here' to claim my beautycard points. I wonder if they're hoping people won't realise so won't get their points?

I noticed that too the other day, also make sure you enter the SHBC code to get your free P&P. It used to be automatic before i'm sure

If that's the case, they restocked and have sold out again. I only looked for the eyeshadows and palette, as I didn't want any of the other items from the collection.

Got everything I wanted after all! Absolute Power, Party Parrot, and Strong Woman are mine. I forgot about my back 2 mac stuff because I was in a huge faff. I'll get something when Archie's Girls hits the counters. Won't bother with MAC Stratford again, this place is much better!

I love those images and the whole collection. The Rouge Allure Velvets are gorgeous!

I managed to get into Superdrug again today. They didn't have all the new colours of Colour Tattoo yet, but I did try the tester of Light In Purple, and I love it! In the jar it looks a light purply blue colour with a pink tinge. Definitely getting that one. Superdrug have them £1 off at £3.99 at the moment, but Boots have the slightly better offer of BOGOHP

I'm lucky because I ordered it (and a couple of the pencils later) when it first came out. I wonder why Debenhams get Artdeco so late?

Thanks - I'll hopefully get to Boots next Wednesday, and take a look.

Asked my local MAC to put aside a Party Parrot, went to pick it up..thought I'd better try it on as lipsticks often look very different on me than the advertised colour...and...straight up highlighter matt pink. No red at all. Nice texture but looked like a 99p lipstick I got from the market. Needless to say I left empty handed. SO disappointed

Just thought I'd share - I tried the Estee Lauder Stay-on Shadow Paint in Steel today, and whilst the glitter in it is really pretty and multi-coloured, it migrates under the eyes too. One eye has slight creasing, but the other doesn't. I didn't wear any primer or anything, though. There's very little colour to the actual shadow, just lots of very fine glittery bits. Might have to try it over a paint pot or primer next

Thanks - that was the next one that I was thinking of getting - I'll wait and see I think - I always get problems with creasing if anyone else does, so may give this one a miss! I'd like to think that these wouldn't need a paint pot.

Yeah I agree. I tried exactly the same colour on my hand, and when I wiped it off, all that it consisted of was rainbow glitter that went EVERYWHERE! It looks like a silvery grey but as you've said, it has no real colour, and is quite deceiving. It would be very annoying to wear, and you would end up looking like a disco ball.

I managed to pick up the Making Pretty brush set from the Selfridges in Manchester and oh my word the brushes are sooo soft, the softest i've ever felt!
