UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Okay... so on NC15 with an over cast... L-R:  Royal Sunset, Immortal Flower, Honey Jasmine I believe I did 2 swipes of RS & HJ and 3 of IF. RD was a bit harder to show, so I'm uploading 2 photos so it'll hopefully be helpful. Excuse the swelling of my wrist!  Looks so much worse in photos.  :/ Let me know if they're okay, or if you'd like to see the blushes again but blended out. 

Thank you so much for these! You are a superstar! So super helpful! I think I have decided I want all three of the blushes! Ha! They all look so so pretty!

 

[kerry-jane88]

I was planning to order from them for exactly that reason, as I'm pretty sure I will want enough to take me over that threshold. If they can't sort their glitches out I'll have to go with HoF instead and bonus points be damned.

Yeah the temperature rising glitch really put me off relying on debenhams to order mac.

 

[nikou]

Nope, nothing there for me either. Except Immortal Flower - weird!

Immortal flower has been there since tres chic. I saw it there a couple days ago. I really hope I don't miss out on anything from AAO. Mac stuff on hof sells out really fast

what glitch? I can remember with the archies girls collection they'd show things in stock when they weren't. You'd pay then get an email saying there's non in stock

 

[PeachTwist]

Did any of you get Ripe For Love? Is it worth it purchasing from Selfridges and paying their insane shipping costs or should I skip it and just go with HoF or Debenhams?

Links wouldn't work, most of the new products werent up, you Couldn't add products to bag. Then the website crashed and closed for maintainance. At the end of the day they said on the beauty club fb that it should be up the next day. That didn't fill me full of confidence so In the end I ordered off HoF for fear of missing out! I bought archies in-store in Selfridges, as they had the exclusive on it for a few weeks; I couldn't be bothered with the hasskeif trying to figure out when it would be shoppable on debenhams!

Yeah what's up with HoFs seemingly ridiculously low mac stock online!?

 

[PeachTwist]

I ordered from Selfridges. Wasn't risking not getting everything I wanted.

Purchased Sweet & Sour, Flamingo & Ripe For Love.

It's coming! I wish they would hurry up, I'd order from Debs but I can't even put S&S in my basket.

 

[PeachTwist]

I have it, it's really nice. How much is shipping for Selfridges? Might be better/cheaper to look out for it in the CB.


It's coming! I wish they would hurry up, I'd order from Debs but I can't even put S&S in my basket.

Shipping is £4.95. It's ridiculous but with Debenhams DM'ing me on Twitter to tell me that Flamingo is already out of stock and unable to add S&S to my basket I wasn't waiting for HoF to find I missed out on them due to low stock. This at least guarantees I get what I want without stress/hassle of waiting for stuff to show up and then disappear. I do love Selfridges for that -- I never have any problems ordering from them.

 

[jennyap]

If I'm buying from HOF I'll just buy from my counter. Leaving work a bit early to head there on my way home! Hopefully it won't be crazy like Fashion Sets was with everything selling out instore on the first day!

Why so expensive? It's so silly. I'm tempted to order from Selfridges too, I can always pick it up in store at the weekend. Everything is in my basket ready to go. HoF is more convenient but there's no sign of life on that website so I might just give in before it's too late.
You're going to love RFL!

I wish I knew. I agree it's ridiculous to have it so high, but honestly they're the one website I can rely on to usually not have any issues with a collection going up, so if I miss out on MAC or Debenhams, I usually go straight to them as whenever I go to HoF there's no stock left even though it's just gone up. At least you have the option to collect the package though -- my nearest one is Manchester which is a good 2-3hrs by train away. If I had the collect in store option, I'd have ordered even sooner than I did from them.

I also find they have items longer than MAC, Debs & HoF - probably because most people either don't know they sell it on Selfridges or they won't pay the shipping cost. I missed out on SSS/CCC when it came out and picked up everything nearly that I wanted on Selfridges as they still had it all months later. Also proven by having RFL!

Oh good - I'm so glad! It looks gorgeous!

 

[PeachTwist]

My Pixi Glow Tonic has arrived, finally!

So the only thing missing from my new skincare routine is the La Roche Posay Serozinc spray but that should hopefully be here tomorrow.

It isn't available in the UK but for anyone wanting to buy it I bought it from Belgium on this website..: http://www.farmaline.co.uk/health/order/la-roche-posay-serozinc-150-ml-spray/

I've yet to try anything as I've been waiting to try everything at once but I may just have to try it all out tonight before the Serozinc arrives - can't wait any longer! Lol

True, they're the only ones with Temperature Rising stuff left aren't they? I don't know how much stock everyone gets but it can't be that much since if you blink it's gone. If you need anything from them in future I could always CP and post it to you or whatever, but I'm not sure if it would be that much cheaper since Royal Mail bumped their prices up.

That's quite a good price for Serozinc! Was shipping expensive? I saw one go for £40 on eBay last week and a few more have cropped up now, people seem to be cottoning on to the fact it's in high demand. I'm going to stock up when I go to France! Might pop in to Pixi at the weekend, they didn't have any Glow Tonic left last time I went. Anyway, let us know how you like it all!

 

[PeachTwist]

Yep they are! I plan on buying the Bare My Soul quad from them if they still have it in stock when I have more money spare at the end of the month. Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind. I dunno what the price would be like with Royal Mail but I suspect it'd be a bit cheaper than £5!

The price for it was great! Shipping unfortunately was £6.95 but I wanted to try it and refused to pay the ridiculous prices on eBay etc so I don't think £14.99 is too bad for it & shipping especially as I'm sure it'd likely be around the same price in Boots etc anyway. It also shipped yesterday too which is impressive. If I like it, I may ask you to pick me up some more when you go to France, when are you going? They have some now -- they were waiting on the pumps for the Glow Tonic otherwise I could've ordered it Monday but it got shipped yesterday and arrived today so I'm happy. I will do! If this works, I would almost bow down and worship Caroline Hirons. I want to go re-wash my face now but I'm gonna wait until this evening so it's not over washed, lol!

I might do the same if they still have it for a wee while! Definitely cheaper than that, I think you can get 2nd class tracked for about three quid.
It's still a better deal than eBay! I'm happy to get some for you, I'll be hitting up City-Pharma and it's supposed to be quite cheap. I'm going for a few days in August, I'll pm you or something before I go.
Ooh I'll definitely pop into Pixi then, my face needs some help. The Hirons is the queen of skin. Hope everything works for you!
I ended up ordering everything through Selfridges earlier and it's already ready for dispatch to store. Flamingo will be mine! Still can't see it up on HoF.

Yeah - I just find their shipping costs stupidly expensive. It wouldn't be so bad if they ever offered free shipping or offered it over a certain amount, but they don't. Ticks me off.
Thank you - appreciate it! If I love it then I'll definitely get you to stock up for me while it's cheaper.
Do so! Mine does too - it's ridiculous how bad it is. I can't wait until later to try everything out. So excited, lol.
Glad you did! Yeah, I'm glad I didn't waste my time waiting on Debenhams or HoF to sort their crap out. Mine is in progress which is all that matters.

Ernie also just CP'd me BU's of DA & TPC from the Marilyn collection in the US so I've got those to look forward to -- and now I can use up mine without fear, lol!

EDIT: Selfridges order is now Ready for Despatch, yay! & the Serozinc is in the UK now, so I suspect I don't have long to wait for either of them!

I swatched the AAO blushes today, none of them really grabbed me to be honest. I didn't like how they looked on me so I passed. They looked nicer on my friend with me who''s paler than I am, perhaps if I was darker too it might have looked better.

I ended up with a Bourjois cream blush instead to hopefully do the job. I got the bronzing primer too, I'm excited to try that out. Then I saw these lip stains like the Clinique chubby sticks but Bourjois again in Superdrug. SPF 15 and the colours were all very pretty. Sleek candy collection launched too so I picked up the blush trio in that. Really nice formulas too! One cream, matter and shimmery pink shades. I can do swatches if anyone wants any of the stuff I picked up.

I swatched these when I was at Superdrug, they seem very pretty but 9.99 seems abit of a steep price though I could have read the wrong price tag as I was in a rush lol

EDIT - Just checked on the Superdrug website and they're listed as 7.99 - now I'm tempted to pick up a few lol
