Finally got a reply from Illamasqua!
My order has been confirmed but I'm unable to track it's process due to having not been registered before I ordered. At least I know it went through though! Can't wait to receive it - hopefully it'll have arrived before I'm home Monday.

Selfridges have it in stock online and you can order and collect in store for free http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Contemporary/MAC/Whats-New/M-A-C-Temperature-Rising-Colour/Bare-My-Soul-Eye-Shadow-x4_329-81004873-MP5R0/
Has anyone purchased anything from the Guerlain summer collection? I swatched everything in store yesterday and I want almost everything...!

I agree. I had a very generous sample, they matched me very well too.
I'm really itching to get something, will go to HoF tomorrow and have a look. Right now I'm thinking I'll get the pretty bronzer and the Meteorites primer, and also the other pretty bronzer that will be out in John Lewis on the 1st June. I might also pick up the BB cream, but might wait for Escentuals to have the collections as they're so much cheaper.it's okhope you get your storage sorted soon
I have the YSL foundation and I have combination skin with my cheeks being drier then my t-zone, I really like the foundation it goes on really well, I think it will be better suited for drier/normal as I do get oily as the day goes on but the coverage is good and it lasts all day, try getting a sample if you can the YSL counters are good with samples imo

I might wait till Escentual get the collection also as I wanted the bronze eye shadow pigment which seems to have sold of from HoF. The bronzer is really nice! The MA tried the meteorites on me and I just loved the finish, definitely going to pick those 3 up next week!

Just got a text that my Illamasqua order will arrive tomorrow. Thankfully someone will be home to sign for it. I'm excited to get home on Monday now!
I also just ordered my Muji drawers. How long do they usually take to dispatch? I couldn't wait any longer to get everything neat and organised as it's been driving me crazy - especially as I've purchased so much this month, I'm officially out of places to put things. Now that all my saved up money is gone, time to re-save!

I've just had my dispatch email for my Illamasqua order too - should get it tomorrow via DPD. I'm glad it didn't arrive today while I was out.
I popped into Boots again to see if they had the new Color Tattoos yet (they had the labels last week but not the product) and bought Everlasting Navy. The Pomegranate one (Metallic Pomegranate?) is most likely exactly the same as the Pomegranate Punk I bought on ebay before, so I didn't get that. I did get one of the Maybelline Color Show 'Polka Dots' nail lacquers in Speckled Pink as it looked rather interesting. They also had a green version, a blue and a black & white one (I think that one was called Chalkboard). As luck would have it, Maybelline is on BOGOHP at Boots right now.

Ooh the pigments are pretty. Shame I don't ever use pigments - they're just too messy. I'm more likely to spill them than wear them so I always skip anything pigment wise. The pigment samples I got from MAC were pressed immediately because I'd never use them otherwise.

My Illamasqua order is still picking & packing
I went to the YSL counter yesterday but they were out of stock of sample of the teint touch éclat . I did try it on the back of my hand and I did really like the texture so if it works on my face I'm definitely going to get it.
I love the look of those Maybelline pigments! I'm also going to order the new Makeup Geek ones when I get paid as they look very pretty

If you can you should let the MA try it on you, or if you another YSL conter near you ask them for a sample, I have like 4 counters near me so when Debenhams where out of samples for my shade I just went to HoFTotally agree, Nyx also use them which is a bonus.

Very impressed with DPD - the email said between 12:04 and 1:04, and at 12:04 the van pulled up outside. Mind you, it took her a couple of minutes to find the box in the back of the van LOL.
The makeup is well packed, in a MAC-type black box (but without the sticky tape, so it still looks good to use for storage) and black shredded paper strips. Unfortunately there is a problem with my Paranormal palette - the purple eyeshadow isn't in its metal pan on the right hand side of the palette, but is stuck to the mirror on the left hand side, and partially on the plastic bit so it is bent too. There are smears on the mirror caused by it. I don't know whether to return it for replacement or to carefully separate it from the mirror and put it back in the pan. Illamasqua's page says to include the receipt for return postage in the parcel so they can refund postage, but surely that would leave me with no proof I had sent it?

Yes
I got the bronzer, the bronze pigment eyeshadow and the meteorites primer - they're the one exception to my no-buy that I am on Waiting for them to be delivered - they should have arrived today, but not here yet. Although, I thought that there was another bronzer that doesn't seem to have appeared - are we getting that in the UK?I also went to Debenhams and spent some of my points (doesn't count as breaking my no-buy I reckon!). I got the Estee Lauder double eyeliner that's just been released, and it's lovely. Also the new Invisible powder. I'm not so sure about that - it somehow makes my complexion look chalky, and I've put it away until the winter. Somehow I seem to have picked up a bit of colour from somewhere - don't know where, as it's been raining mostly.
The good thing about a no-buy is that I'm getting some things out that I've not even used yet, and I really do have to stop spending what I've been spending for the last couple of years.
Oh yes, I added a Guerlain Rouge Automatique (Cherry Blossom) to my House of Fraser order. So I have broken my no-buy! Will try to be good for the rest of the summer, though it means not reading blogs/forums so much, as there's just too much temptation around here
