UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[PeachTwist]

Sorry to hear that Caitlin, I hope everything goes well for you and they can put you on to the road for recovery ASAP!

Thank you! Appreciate it.

My MAC orders arrived! HJ, RS and Buff blushes! So excited! I love the look of RS and Buff - bit nervous about HJ!

I'm a bit new to MAC releases a s in I've never bought anything LE from them, will it be in store too?

I think it's just plain rude! As I said to the woman on the YSL counter, why would I wear make-up when shopping for make-up? Especially when it's foundation/concealer related? There's no point, they'd only have to take it off to match me anyway. I may even start complaining to management to be honest - I'm sick of being looked at as if I'm not worth their time because I'm not dressed to the 9's and what not whenever I go in. I have health issues myself, my mother has them and I care for her -- do they really think my top priority is to make sure I'm dressed super nice to go to a make-up counter when I have a few moments to myself? Meh -- I'm on a rage today, completely annoyed. Lol.

Thank you! The REN products & Boots stuff all look great. I refuse to use them until I get the Pixi Glow Tonic though -- I hope they call me soon because I'm dying to try everything out, lol!

Aw yay! I'm glad you like everything! One thing I don't buy is gloss - I just hate gloss. I like the way it looks but usually it ends up in my hair somehow which just frustrates me so I don't bother with it, lol. I'm definitely a lipstick girl! The only gloss I have and love is my MAC Kissable Lip Colour in Woo Me. Nail polishes though - now those are love! Lol!

Aw thank you. I appreciate it. I just stupidly watched a Liver Biopsy on YouTube - I officially am freaked out, lol.

Good for you. I've always been too much of a coward to say anything, but it does so annoy me when they do that. Sometimes I've been walking back through town after getting the children to school - believe me, my face often has to take a second place when it comes to choosing between it and the children's packed lunches!! Nowadays I'm back to work as well as having the packed lunches, so I get up at the crack of dawn to get bathed/made-up etc; and I go shopping for makeup when I'm in town doing the banking. It's amazing how much better I get treated. One day I was in Boots with my (then) seventeen year old - I was horrified at how the assistants followed her around to check she wasn't stealing anything! No reason that a young person has to be a thief.

My two Debenhams orders have arrived. No Mac, just Guerlain. I also picked up the Terra Nerolia bronzer from Waitrose, plus my new Zoya polishes came today too. Terra Nerolia is quite a bit darker than I thought it would be, but it doesn't really matte as it's still very pretty. Chances are I won't even use it anyway, hahaha!

My MAC order arrived this morning and I am so in love with Flamingo and Royal Sunset blush, they were made for each other!

Mine came too, wasn't expecting that as last time I looked (ie yesterday) it was still showing as in warehouse. I agree, these are a perfect pairing

This will be in MAC stores, and all MAC counters as well as online.

Thanks. I used to be - to be honest I wish I'd said something to the woman on EL herself but I was in a rush that day so didn't bother. At least I made it known to someone eventually though, and chances are she knew who I was on about which is good. It really is amazing the difference that make-up and nicer clothes can do to how someone is treated, which is just disgusting. I've always vowed that one day if I win the lottery, I'll go into a store somewhere looking my absolute worst where I know they get commission and whoever treats me the best will get my massive purchase. Solely as a lesson for people to not judge someone based on appearance.

I can't believe they followed her around! I would have complained.

 

[PeachTwist]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you can get a diagnosis and on the road to healing soon!

Thank you - appreciate it!

 

[surfroxy]

I'm still trying to decide whether I NEED to get any blushes from the new collection.

 

[surfroxy]

Thank you - appreciate it!

I second the comment too. (I'm just catching up with everything in the thread)

 

[Alisha1]

Yup! I either don't wear any at all or I wear a full face - it's one or the other. You're right though - if only they knew how much we owned, they'd soon wise up and be polite. They could make a lot of money out of us. I'll probably purchase from YSL again because that lady was so great and she will always have my business. Good CS goes a long way.

I wish I could get into gloss - it's just bleh for me. It also doesn't help I'm a smoker (and currently trying to quit) -- lip products go all over them which is nasty. Then again, so is smoking.. hence the trying to quit, lol. Nail Polish is one of those things that I always want more of - same as eye shadow. I could have one similar but still need the one that's ever so slightly different. But because I don't do my nails often enough I can't justify purchasing most of the time. 2 Alex drawer fulls though is enough for me for now, lol!

Hopefully they will. I love the fact that LookFantastic sent a free set of RT brushes in my order as a free gift. I now have 2 sets of the Core Collection - only got the 1st set last week, lol! Not complaining though - 2 buffing brushes and 2 contour brushes will come in handy!

Good luck with quitting smoking! I like the RS contour brush it's my favourite RS brush


I bought the Estee Lauder Highlighter Gelee from the summer collection yesterday as I had £5 on my HoF reward card - I've bought so much makeup this month :/

Cheers! Still wondering if I want to bother with the blushes in the collection. I've heard they're very sheer ;/ I'm in the market for an orangey/peach/coral blush though. I only have the coral one from MeMeMe and I don't like it much.

I've just been to collect mine - it was there yesterday, but I ended up spending yesterday afternoon at the dentist waiting for an appointment as part of a tooth broke at lunch time

I agree - it is darker than I thought, but so very pretty - and it smells wonderful too! Very impressed with Click and Collect at Waitrose - this won't be my last order from John Lewis. I was surprised at the 20% price match, as the product's an exclusive. I guess they did it as there was 20% off all Guerlain somewhere - not complaining mind

I should have done really - I did mention it to the nice Clarins lady, who did sympathise - hopefully she said something.

It was at house of fraser

 

[Anitacska]

Interestingly by the time the bronzer appeared on JL, HoF had finished the 20% off offer, plus they never had that bronzer, but like Viv, I couldn't complain really! I also really liked the Waitrose collection, my only complaint is that there's a Waitrose in my town, but it's not part of the C&C program, so I had to go to the one in the next village. Oh well, 10 minutes it took, so still not a big issue.

[jennyap]

Looks like there has been a mini restock of AAO, Tart & Trendy and all the blushes are in stock again. (Razzledazzler and Neon Orange too, but I don't think either of those sold out)

The Waitrose near me does C&C but it's listed under east London instead of north, so strange! Maybe they've put yours in Kent or something.

 

[Anitacska]

Nope, not in Kent either, lol! It is a new and fairly small Waitrose, so maybe that's why. It doesn't matter, the other one really isn't far at all.
