UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Tropical Taboo is up

Called it! I think most future releases will now follow this pattern, up online at around midday on the Thursday before counter release day. It's nice to have a bit of consistency.

Did you get anything from TT?

just the 159 brush and soft & gentle (I know it's perm but been meaning to pick it up for a while!). I wanted all the MSFs originally but i've gone off the idea now as there's only so many highlighters i need and i really could do with spending less cash. I might pick up Narcissus & Fever Isle CSGs when they go up on Debenhams as they are the only things that are tempting me now. I think i really have broken my MAC lemming instinct

How about you?

I am glad I am not the only one who avoided applying eye make up because I hated removing it!My Hydralon is lasting about 3-4 months, I use it twice a day, morning and night but I only find I need a drop the size of 2 to 3 grains of rice, I am applying over a spray hydrating toner (Ren or balance me) and then following up with my moisturiser.

My EH kit has just arrived from QVC, just popped a bit of one of the moisturisers on and damn it feels good I can't wait to use the cleansing balm!

I am going to pick up the Hydraluron, Pepta Bright & Eyesilix when they are next on 3 for 2 and also want to try the liquid gold to see if it will clear up my flaky bits. They also have good deals on QVC for the alpha h.

I got the Origins drink up intensive too and i'm a little disappointed I just don't think it's hydrating enough for my skin so it doesn't feel any different. Ah well at least it didn't break the bank.

I'm going to get Adored MSF and the 159 brush next week. Thought I'd want more but those are the only ones calling to me. Those CSGs look really pretty, especially Virgin Isle. I don't know if it's still up but HoF still had Narcissus a few weeks ago. Just checked and both Debs and HoF have it.

That's good to hear! We'll only need to repurchase it about 3 or 4 times in a year as well which should be doable lol

I wanted to place an order for Serozinc but it has sold out :/ just me luck! I may have spent my money on an asos haul instead...!

 

[Anitacska]

Meh, I'm going to wait until Debenhams or HoF has it up and then go to the counter on Thursday.

Tropical Taboo is up

I think i nabbed the last one, on farmaline? I laced my order then it went to temporarily unavailable. It was a few days ago but still not dispatched so maybe they don't even have mine in stock. You can only order one at a time too

If you do go on ASOS and spend £50 i have a code for £10 off which they sent me in advance of birthday (think it will work for anyone though as I have used b'day codes before that weren't in July), expires 10th July - HPBDJUL13

Looks like MES and MBs are now £17 and £20 respectively! The MSFs are still £21.50, so I might just get all 3 new ones and leave the rest!

The new MSFs come up as £22 and the perm ones are still £21.50 for some reason.

Damn, I didn't catch that
Boo to price increases!

 

[duku]

Damn, I didn't catch that Boo to price increases!

I only saw it when I put Adored in my basket, the price is listed as £21.50 on the Tropical Taboo page.
Boo hiss to price increases, I guess they're imminent (July?). Will it ever stop or will we be paying £20 for a regular MAC lipstick by 2023?

Oh have they made the limit to one now? It was 2 over the weekend - I hope they increase the limit as I wanted to order 2 :/ They restock quiet quickly so hopefully yours will despatch soon

Thanks for the code! I placed my order in the morning and used my NUS discount but I will try that code if I place another order

My thoughts exactly! I was thinking of buying a mineralize lipstick after seeing Christine's swatches but at £20 I'll easily skip!

 

[Marvelle]

Hey UK lovelies, I wasn't sure where to put this, so thought I'd add it here. It might be useful to you Disney addicts!

The Disney Store UK website now has the Beautifully Disney range on sale - half off! Needless to say I bought the whole lot to add to my Disney make up collection

If unsure about the Beautifully Disney range, Xsparkage has done a video and also swatched over on her blog

Some bastard took my suitcase on the train when I was coming back from a field trip and a ball I'd had.
In there was most of my mac eye and face brushes, my sundipped bronzer, loads of ud eye pencils, eclair and indianwood paintpots, razzledazzler, tart&trendy and ravishing lipsticks, natural skin finish and concealer, honey jasmine blush and my naked basics palette. There was probably more but I can't believe someone stole my case. I'm so upset. Also shoes, hairdryer and ghd straighteners gone and loads of clothes

 

[Anitacska]

Oh no!

That's awful! So sorry to hear that.

Nikou, that's horrible! Did anyone else get their stuff taken? And can you file an insurance claim??

 

[toobusytostitch]

I'm more or less giving Tropical Taboo a miss - in part because I've bought my first Mulberry (note, I said first!). I got a bargain in the Mulberry sale - an oversized Alexa in chocolate brown, think the link is still here... Alexa ....Though the bad reviews by Temptalia surely didn't help! I've bought the two kohl pencils and two mineralize lipsticks - Midnight Mambo and Glamour Era - the last one being because I bought this earlier, and absolutely love it - my favourite lippie at the moment, and wearing down quite quick

Oh, poor you - there's some really horrible people around who would do that. Any hope on insurance?
