UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[duku]

I'm waiting for them to put the clarins stuff to go up as well! I just want the eyeshadow palette from there, they also have Bioderma which I want to try out as well!


Has anyone used the Guerlain Meteorites Base Perfectrice Pearls? I'm considering a new primer and was just wondering what everyone thinks of this product, it seems to have good reviews from what I've seen they also have a gold one and I was hoping to find out what the differences are and which ones better

Me too! Have you tried L'oreal's new micellar water? It was on offer in Superdrug for 2 for £4.99 so I thought I'd give it a go, it's pretty good. It's this one http://www.superdrug.com/loreal-skin-perfection-3-in-1-micellar-solution-200ml/invt/639956&bklist=

I haven't tried it no but I'll look for it the next time I'm in boots! I'm really lazy when it comes to removing makeup so I'm looking for something that removes it easily! Lol I've tried the MAC cleanse off oil but it doesn't take off completely! lol

I'm not sure about the name (the product is long gone unfortunately), but I did have a Guerlain Meteorites primer that I really loved, but have never quite felt that I could justify replacing as it is very pricey. The only problem that I had with it was that if I didn't use it for a couple of weeks the nozzle got blocked up. So I had to use it on a daily basis until it was gone - shame!!

It's certainly one of the things that I'm very tempted by in the up coming Summer collection!

I have the Guerlain meteorites primer and mine never dries up! I don't use it every day, due to time shortage, but I love it, I think it works well and it's so pretty in the bottle! Can't wait to get the summer one. The L'Or (gold) primer isn't as nice imo, I prefer the pearls. It is very expensive though, around £40 now?

That's mainly why I started researching on them! Lol plus I want/need a new primer lol! Yes it's very pricey, Escentual have it for £38! I hope I've accumulated some debenhams/HoF points to help buy the summer one!

What differences do you notice when you put it on? Does it smooth skin/blur imperfections or give a radiant glow or something? I've been really interested in ways to make my skin look better and I've never had good luck with primers thus far :/ lol

I have dull looking Indian skin and this primer really brightens my face up well. On me its a soft sheen that smooths out the skin. It's pricey but it's really worth it. I've had it for about 6 months and I use it sparingly and I've got tons left. Check it out on a counter if you can, perhaps take a pot for a sample. I luckily managed to get a sample before I splurged!

On a side note, does anyone know when the NARS Summer hits counters? I really want the lipstick and it's on the NARS UK site but I don't want to pay £7 postage for one item. Once I have my mitts on that I'm doing a no buy for the rest of the year (although whether I limit myself to only getting some LE things, I've not decided yet)

Thanks! I am going to try to get a sample if not I'll try it on a counter

Not sure about the NARS summer collection but the NARS site usually get the collections early for a week or two

since last november i have been working on making my skin look better and it appears to be working! I am definitely wearing lighter coverage foundations and have more even tone and it appears brighter? I have been taking Omega 3 & 6 supplements, which have also helped my ezcema on my body significantly too. I also invested in a new skincare regime which has had an impact. I now don't need my mac strobe cream or brightening primers, although I am working on using them up as part of my low buy.

Low buy is tough, but I seem to have broken my MAC addiction, I have only bought 1 mac thing this year, a bottle of the prolongwear concealer, which I am loving for under my eyes.
For a couple of weeks I replaced it with a nail polish buying phase but that appears to have stopped to.

I want the new real techniques brushes if i can get them from boots when they release and a new bottle of MUFE F & B foundation, but i am not allowed that until I have used up a couple of my half full bottles!

Should be early May. It will be up on ASOS eventually too.

I've finally got around to comparing Whisper of Gilt to the new EL highlighter and yes, they are almost identical. I can see a tiny difference when swatched heavily, but blended out there is no difference at all. Hope this helps.

From memory I think the previous years' summer collections launched towards the end of May online and first week of June in store/counters, but I may be wrong. The rest of them probably 2nd May.

I bought the EL highlighter last week, but I haven't had time to compare with Whisper of Gilt. I have swatched it and I'd say (from memory) it's pretty similar.

 

[Anitacska]

I forgot who was asking about the Nars summer collection, but I've just had an e-mail to say that there's free delivery on every order at the moment.

The new blushes are £30 which is pretty alright considering they're about 3 times as big as the regular ones. I'm tempted to get Boys Don't Cry.

Is that the Pierre Hardy blushes? I want both but I want to wait till the collection is on counter as I'm not sure about the orange one, I also want 3 of the nail duos...

I think a lighter coverage foundation would be perfect for summer, which one do you use? I am hopefully going to get the YSL Touche Eclat foundation tomorrow but I am going to use the sample and ask my friends what they think first. The YSL counters are giving away a free mirror that comes in a patent leather case with the purchase of the touche eclat pen or foundation and one other product so I'm excited to get that! Wow one MAC product this year is very good, I thought I was good as I've only bought 6! I have the prolongwear concealer too for blemishes and the like and use the new NARS concealer for under the eyes which I love!  I'm going to try using my Real Techniques brushes more as I haven't used them as much as I would like so I can't really give a fair judgement on them and than I'll try to resist the new set that's coming out!  Is that the Pierre Hardy blushes? I want both but I want to wait till the collection is on counter as I'm not sure about the orange one, I also want 3 of the nail duos...:loco:

Yes, they are the Pierre Hardy ones. I'm not sure about the orange one, but the pink one is so pretty.

I hope it's still going by the time payday rolls around. Eek.

The pink is pretty and the orange one is nice but I'm just not sure about orange on my cheeks anymore :/

I went to the Guerlain counter today and was told the new lipglosses and n/p are out on the 1st of May and the summer collection is out towards the end of may, I saw swatches of the n/p and I really like the paler shades which is unusual for me! She did say I could buy them as she had them but there where no testers so I might have a look at swatches online to see if there's anything I want asap! Lol

I also purchased my YSL foundation and a Lip Laquar in no.14 which I love and the mirror is so nice!

I just bought a couple of the products from the new release from ArtDeco - the blusher was already being described as 'low stock'! I don't need it, but it is so beautiful (so is the bronzer, but I'm not getting that as I really wouldn't use it!).

 

[toobusytostitch]

Should have said - from Debenhams!

 

[rockin]

That blusher is so pretty, as is the compact it's in, but I'm trying hard not to buy much at the moment, so I can afford more of the May MAC collections. If only our nearest Debenhams stocked Art Deco, I'd go there and buy the blusher using my Debenhams beauty card

 

[Anitacska]

I saw them this morning (they're also up on BeautyBay), there are some interesting looking baked eyeshadows too. I'd like them, but I have really got to the point when I have waaaay too much and I think I really need to stop buying things just because they're pretty. I might get something once the Debenhams in Guildford has the collection as I have some points on my card, but they didn't get the last two collections, so we'll see. Must be strong.

Probably true of me too!! I got the blusher, the brown baked eyeshadow and a lipstick - relatively restrained! There are some things from the upcoming Guerlain release that I want though - and a few from MAC in May - though probably just a couple of paintpots. I'm going to try to resist the mineralised items - I always go mad on them, and I don't really wear them that much.
