Well, the highlighter is up on the HoF website already!

I was told that it's in HoF from April and will be rolled out elsewhere in May.
Gah! The Debenhams website is a big pain in the bum. It just won't accept my Debenhams Mastercard, so I had to pay with my House of Fraser one instead. Ridiculous!

Awesome! That highlighter looks stunning, I might just have to get it. We're not getting any exciting MAC releases next week are we?

Have you tried the usual clearing cookies, emptying cache, etc? It's so rubbish that it refuses to work!

Nah, can't be bothered. I'd rather just use my HoF card from now on and earn points there, the HoF in Guidlford has almost every counter I need (except UD), whereas no Debenhams around here has Mac, Guerlain or Chanel... Besides my Debenhams card worked just fine when I ordered my Archie stuff and I didn't have to clear anything or use a different browser. I also tried it on my phone and that doesn't work either. Weird.

I went to the UD counter today, I like 1999 it seems to be a pretty unique colour, what problems were you having with it? I am also thinking of getting Lucky and they never had Covet to swatch so I'll just have to look at online swatches instead :) Anyone know when Debenhams 10% is ending?
They're promoting it as an Easter thing, so I imagine it'll last til the end of the weekend :)

I just find 1999 not very pigmented and it doesn't show up very well on me. I much prefer Crash and Rockstar, but obviously it's a personal choice. :)

I believe the Debenhams 10% off ends Tuesday.

I ended up placing an order for the Dior My Lady palette, the Aerin Illuminating face palette and Sisley Orchidee highlighter. It's my birthday in a few days, I need to celebrate. ;) I'm gonna go to London sometime next week, but not sure if I'll go to Harrods now, I might focus on Oxford Street and Westfield instead.

The new UD liners will be out in May here in the UK and the Chanel glossimer collection will be out on May the 31st if anyone's interested :)
Eek the collections are launching earlier then I thought! Might go to a counter next week to swatch everything
Thanks for reminding me, I will definitely order from there think I only want the eyeshadow palette and maybe one lipbalm :)

I went to Sainsburys this evening, and there was a shelf full of face creams etc greatly reduced. They had proper shelf-edge labels, so I'm thinking it's probably all branches. They had the Garnier Caffeine Anti-dark Circles roll-on for just £3.06, Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Serum for £8.99 and Olay Regenerist Night Renewal Elixir for £9.00, for example. The Olay items are usually 3 times that price!

Aw yes there's nothing wrong with treating yourself :) I like the look of the grey nail polish from Dior but I would love to see it first lol, the My Lady palette looks lovely but far too pale for me which is a good thing I suppose!

I popped into my local Debenhams that has a Clarins counter and had a look at the summer collection. Nothing really spoke to me. While I like the eyeshadow palette, it's not that unique, the powder is pretty, but I'd rather get the Guerlain one and the lip balms are cool, but I've hardly used last year's ones, so I've passed. Can't wait to go to London next week to finally be able to spend the £62 that I have on my beauty card. Not sure what's going to be out by then though.

I got my UD foxy four way set delivered today and I must say I am loving Deep End and Sabbath they are absolutely gorgeous and very pigmented and I will definitely be picking them up in full size.I was a bit worried about the pigment of the new shades after the Temptalia swatches but they have put my fears to rest. I didn't think much of the Delinquent (too glittery) and Muse (too similar to others) but still don't regret getting it as having the double ended ones is nice for travel.

Thanks for the heads up and your opinion. I'm going to order 3 from Boots (skipping Brown Sugar) with my points and buy Cherry Tart from that seller with my Paypal balance. :) Free shopping! Yay! :)
Anita did you get your Cherry Tart delivered? What did you think of it? I hoped you liked it :)

Yes I did! It is very nice, I agree. Thanks for the recommendation! I also got Pink Lemonade, Sugar Plum and Red Velvet. I was pleasantly surprised by Pink Lemonade, I thought it would look hideous on me, but it's alright actually. Out of the 4, Cherry tart is definitely my favourite though.

Ooh, I'll definitely pick it up when I go to London. I have £20 HoF vouchers as well to spend. Getting more and more excited now.

Went to London today. Managed to spend my £20 HoF vouchers on the new Estee Lauder highlighter (it's £30). Didn't get the eyeshadows as I only like the teal colour from it.

Bought the new LE YSL Paris Springtime perfume with my Debenhams beauty points. Still have £32, didn't know what to spend it on. I decided not to get the Guerlain 4 seasons bronzer as it's £46.50 and I'd rather get the two new Dior ones when they come out. I also didn't get the UD 4 way 24/7 set after all as I might as well just pick up Delinquent and Deep End when they come out in full size, Muse wasn't interesting enough to get the set for. I also don't need another Zero, Pervenrsion, Whiskey and Stash.

I popped into Selfridges and asked about the new Mac releases. The very nice SA said he thought they were still trying to push Archie's girls and that's why nothing was released today. Weird. Maybe it didn't do too well? Anyway, there's nothing new out and ED2 and BB are certainly not coming out just yet.

Oh and the Superdrug on Oxford Street has a Nicole by OPI stand, the polishes cost £7.99 each. Great selection of colours as well.

liberty have also started selling the hourglass ambient lighting powders, i've picked up dim light and i'm loving it so far, i haven't seen it out anywhere else yet so i think its a Liberty's exclusive for now.
i always thought mac released something new every thursday of each month, im saving for this extra dimension collection for sure but its so frustrating waiting and living vicariously through online swatches from people across the atlantic haha

I'm not getting the Estee Lauder eyeshadow this time - first time for ages - I wasn't that impressed by the Pretty Naughty palette :(

I know what you mean about multiples copies of Zero, Perversion etc - I seem to have got quite a few different sized copies of those!

I really like those Laura Mercier - keeping an eye out for those. I got a couple of the new Clarins lip balms - they seem much the same as the ones from last year that I've got stashed away somewhere!!! Still like them though, and will probably use them quite a lot if we ever get some nice summer weather!

Not online so much - children on holiday this week and next week, so not getting tempted quite so much, lol!
