The Guildford HoF didn't get Lust, so I couldn't pick it up, but I managed to choose the other 2 MSFs, 2 blushes and 5 MES I wanted, although the SA was quite reluctant to open up a 3 pack of products because "it will be easier to count them if they're not been opened". I mean FFS, I'm planning on spending £150+ here and you can't even be arsed to take off some cellophane??? I did get what I wanted in the end and then ordered Lust from Selfridges to pick up tomorrow as I'm going to London to see Bon Jovi in Hyde Park.

My Disney makeup order arrived today. Unfortunately one of the eyeshadows in one of the quads is crumbling to bits :( I was pleasantly surprised at how big the eyeshadows are, though

I've also just placed my HoF order for Midnight Mambo and the 159 brush. I gather the 159 and 287 are going to be permanent anyway, so I'll wait before thinking about buying the 287

Can anyone remember if the mac illustrated collection from last year was online only? I know the bags were online exclusives but can't remember if the Julie verhoeven lip bags, eye kits and brush kits were on counter over here?

Ugh, my counter sold out of Midnight Mambo before I got there, and it's gone from the Mac and HoF sites too :(

That was quick. I swatched it, but honestly didn't think it was that special, it seemed quite sheer to me. There'll be other purple lipsticks, don't worry.

I phoned Disney about the crumbled eyeshadow. The recorded message that answers the phone mentions 'pixie dust', and at the end of the call the man told me to "have a magical day" LOL.

He has asked me to send pictures of the palette, which he will give to the relevant department to get authorisation to send a replacement.

I picked up Lust MSF from Selfridges yesterday and I really really like it. I applied it straight away as a blush and it's very pretty. I haven't tried the other two on me, or any of the other products I've picked up from TT, my husband was home all week (mostly working) and I was out quite a bit as well. Next week will hopefully be a bit quieter.

The TT stuff I ordered from debenhams came, my adored is almost totally beige, my lust has subdued swirls too, massively underwhelmed :/

yeah i only ordered online as i didn't want to be obnoxious and pick it out in store when i was out with my sister, as she's low on funds atm!

has anyone had experience returning mac bought from debenhams.com to a debenhams that doesn't sell mac?
i've asked debenhams on facebook but they haven't got back to me yet.

You can't return to store apparently, I tried it with an UD nail polish set and they didn't take it, had to send it back.

Same for me - I had something arrive in powder form (it was a compact), and I had to send that back too - even though it was a product that they sell in my local Debenhams :( I got told it was something to do with their stock control system, how returning something to a store would mess it all up. Doesn't sound like much of a stock control system to me!!!

I asked on debenhams facebook they said it should be fine as long as they were in the original packaging, unopened obviously and within the 28 day returns frame. I took the two mac skinfinishes back to debenhams Manchester, a store that doesn't sell mac, and it was fine. I at least expected some sort of comment considering I went to a till surrounded by four staff, but no one said anything. Maybe the rules have changed? Or certain managers or stores might object, because basically they can't be bothered sending it back to the main warehouse. I know the Manchester store has a click to order in store service so that's probably why they are more accomidating with online returns?

I forgot to say yesterday, Escentual have a 20% off everything sale going, all the Guerlain summer collection included, if anyone's interested.

Thanks. I might get one of the veluxepearl palettes, but skip the rest.
