UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

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...

My favourite is the MUFE Face and Body, buildable, longwearing (Its great in hot weather!) and not as dewy as things like Mac F&B. It goes on great with fingers and brushes, I think its my HG!

I also love the Dr Jart BB Cream (i use regenerating - the silver tube one and water fused - blue tube depending on the time of the year) and the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum is pretty good too! Face & Body from MAC is good but works out a little too dewy for me (I like a dewy finish over a matte one) and needs setting with a light powder.

I also have the YSL one, great shade match for me but honestly cake make up my mind about it, I feel that my skin has to be well prepped, i.e exfoliated and moisturised to get the best from it, although I love the finish, lasting power is variable?

i am on a foundation no buy at the minute to try and get it down to 3 bottles excluding BB cream being:
Full coverage - Estee Lauder DW,
Light Coverage MUFE F&B,
Medium Everyday coverage Bourjois Healthy Mix

Its quite hard, I am desperate for a new MUFE as I have run out, but it is helpiing me finish stuff off.

I was naughtly this morning I picked up the Dainty Doll Blushes from Fragrance Direct, and some Essie and OPI polishes, 13 items for £28, bargin!

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.

Strong is difficult but sometimes we have to be! I have felt better since january when I slowed my buying right down. I now normally just buy what I know I will use. Project use to it up is also helping, its statisfying to see things being finished. I also think that I am neglecting things less

I did have a bad April though, I bought a few new products like Revlon Lip Butters and MUA Power Pouts, which I actually love more than the revlon kissable balm stains and clinique chubby sticks, they are so moisturising for £3 each! i also picked up 2 colour club nail polish sets in TK Maxx at the weekend, naughty!

I would love to try MUFE foundations but picking a right shade online is difficult and I've never been to Guru Makeup Emporiom or PAM in London as I always stick to Oxford street and Harrods and I have no clue where those stores are lol, where do you purchase your MUFE products from?

I only have 2 foundations as my first (Estee Lauders Double Wear) was a perfect match for me, I hope I don't start buying loads of foundations! Though I'm still considering NARS Tinted Moisteriser!

 

[charlotte366]

I herb has the real techniques brushes back in stock, I have ordered mine, decided I couldn't wait as my boots don't have them so I would have to order online anyway. Fingers crossed I don't get customs struck!

I order online from guro I wear shade 51 in bourjois and am between nw15 nw20 in mac I wear double wear in bone. I used Karla sugars swatches the first time I ordered and went with shade 20 it looks too dark in the bottle but because the formulas are lighter and are more forgiving. I would repurchase in this shade or maybe grab the lighter one as it will be winter before I can have another bottle :-(

Debenhams are getting the Urban Decay pencil vault - this is what they said on Facebook:


"We showcased this at our press show last week and it receive a great response. GUESS WHAT...40 will be arriving exclusively online on Thursday 2nd May. Like if you're as excited as us!!"

 

[Anitacska]

Yep, and they're only going to have 40 of them priced at £240. What to do, what to do?

That's an awful lot of money in one go, even if it does work out cheaper per pencil

 

[Anitacska]

Yes it is. I would probably sell half of the pencils on eBay to make some of the money back, but there are so many new shades coming out anyway, it would be worth spending £240 on the Vault (I'd probably spend around £200+ on the new shades alone!).

that's how I feel it's a tough one. I just wish it was another month it's an expensive ones as it is

The LE Summer quad on the US Chanel site is to die for, I hope we get it.

 

[nikou]

I won't be getting the vault. Its way too expensive and I wouldn't buy many of those shades. I already have my fair share of UD pencils from sets and when I've bough them on my own. I'm looking forward to buying some of the brown shades especially whiskey.

The whole Chanel summer collection looks gorgeous, but I can't believe we have to wait til the 31st of May

That's good for my purse, I'm already getting some Dior stuff and I can push Chanel back to pay day! The quad isn't part of the collection I don't think, it's an online exclusive on the site but it fits nicely with the theme.

I wasn't really going to get much other than the nail polishes but Lisa Eldrige demoed the shadow sticks and the pink one looks lovely.

I'm miffed that I'll have to wait to get my goodies, but I do like that I get longer to save up! Bel Argus and Azure n/p plus 4 of the e/s sticks and the syulo yeux waterproof for me

What does everyone think the new mac releases will be like? Will they release them all online on one day? I only want things from Art of Eye, Baking Beauties and Tenperature Rising. Just want to know when to start stalking the site etc!

 

[charlotte366]

I think I am going to pick up one of the chanel Shadow sticks, and 1 polish. I also want one of the dior duo bronzer/blushers just not sure if I want coral or pink? I might try to pick that up with my boots points.

Just been very naughty and ordered some more OPI polishes off fragrence direct at £3.99 each. Thats the same price as Barry M Gelly Hi shines! I wanted some of the holland collection last year but I refuse to pay for them full price, as they often end up in TKmaxx at other discount places. I picked up 17 shades in total including a mix of ltd edition and permenant shades so after the chanel collection, I will definately go on a no buy of nail polish. I think I nearly have all the shades I want, I just need to finish swatching them and labelling the swatches so its easy to choose a colour!

I have no idea, but I'd be willing to bet something will be online tomorrow afternoon, because the free shipping on any order ends at midday!!

I think they'll all be online at the same time except Riri Woo which will appear on the 4/5th. I checked back and we got last year's summer collection in early May so I'm anticipating a normal May release for Temperature Rising.

 

[Anitacska]

House of Fraser has 10% off beauty for 2 days (ends Friday), it's started online already. I don't think there's anything I really want right now, shame the summer collections aren't out yet.
