Quote: I want it so badly! I wasn't prepared to find it - it's the first time I've ever gone into the Mulberry shop, and I've loved the bag since it came out (and then sold out!) last year I really don't think I'm going to be able to cobble together enough money before it gets sold though The outlet is only a 15 minute drive away for me, which makes it even more of a temptation!

You would be surprised, go through your collection and maybe wardrobe and be ruthless, try eBay, I found it you have bnib stuff buy it now or best offer seems to get better results as you have a degree of control you don't get in auctions and gets rid of a lot of time wasters, maybe do a car boot sale? Very much looking forward to my holiday, worked crazy hours for the last 8 months st work do desperate for some me time and I can't wait to see big cats in the wild!

Just try your best and if not you can put the money towards another bag or something nice - if you have or know someone with a NUS card you could get a further 10% off

Luckily for me I'm not into bags, shoes, etc., so my only expensive hobby is make up. Just as well, because I've spend tons of money on make up over the last 5 years, I don't even want to think about how much it is, but I'm sure it would've paid for a nice car and a few nice holidays. Luckily for me, my husband earns very good money, so I still got a nice new car and been on nice holidays, but I do have 3 children and sometimes I think about how much money I could've saved for their future. I try not to think about it though because it makes me feel very bad. I have been a bit better about my beauty spending, haaven't bought too much make up lately, although admittedly I have switched to nail polish instead. Oh well, it makes me happy, what can I do?

Not makeup related, but I went to a Mulberry outlet store today and they had my dream bag, The Cookie Cutter Bayswater.
But it was £696 from £1000! I'm trying to justify going back for it soon as it was the last one left, but I think I'd need to sell some of my MAC to pay for it...

Have any of you ever seen something you LOVE that you realise you could have afforded if you bought less makeup? It's making me want to slow down my spending a lot!

Debenhams have a 10% off top 10 beauty brands online only offer going today, sadly it doesn't include Guerlain. It does include some great brands like YSL, Dior, Clarins, EL, if anyone's interested. Plus you get 500 extra points if you order over £40.

Definitely! I bought some Viv Westwood boots last month, after realising I could afford them if I skipped buying from Mac for a couple of months. Much better having a pair of boots I love than another pile of lipsticks that I probably have similar colours to anyways!

I think the whole thing is about balance these days, I try to avoid stalking the new collection threads as the hype just enables me. I still love my make up I just know that I need to control it more and only nuy what I will wear. I tend to have a wishlist and I pick items off there each month as my treat, then I try to stay out of boots and superdrug. Luckily I got over the Mac monthly ltd edition hype over a year ago and my spending has gone down considerabley as a result, I still pick up the odd ltd edition piece, but I certainly don't go crazy like I used too. I think we should buy what we like and will wear, but I don't think we should buy everything just for the sake of it, I did that at Christmas in the space nk sale, because everything was so cheap, but I regretted it and I ended up selling a fair few things from it BNIB, luckily I made profits on ebay, but I shouldn't have really bought it in the first place. This month I have been naughty though because I had the guerlain bits which I had been waiting for and I also ordered some more rouge bunny rouge off my wishlist in there sale and I made a small nail polish haul from fragrence direct for some new essie and opi polishes. Fragance direct have had some really nice essie and opis recently for such a saving! Luckily I stopped having gel on my toes and I now get to wear my polish again so I don't feel too guilty. I had clear gel on my fingers last time for protection but wore my polishes over the top and that worked really well, so I might try that again soon!

Bought the blush today from JL the display stands were up for it so it's def not a HoF excl. Oh my god it's stunning I almost don't want to use it. I looked at the lipsticks and I was a little disappointed with how sheer Reve and Flirte were. I'll probably pick them up maybe on payday but I do really need Batifole.


Also today in my blog rss feeds I saw this on BBB! http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/08/guerlain-crazy-paris.html I have no shame in admitting I am a Guerlain addict.

 

[Anitacska]

The Guerlain fall collection is now up on Escentual if anyone's interested. I'm going to order the lipsticks as they are 10% cheaper than Debenhams, etc. Been looking at Debenhams for the new Mac pressed pigments but the new colours don't seem to be showing in stock yet? Doubt they've all sold out already.

Hi Dawn, thanks for the heads up! Hope you're okay. x

Now I know this isn't premium makeup, however I have just spotted on Superdrugs website that the 1D makeup collection is now available, and the Louis lipstick looks a dead ringer for RiRi Boy. I have ordered the collection, just so I can do a few comparisons! They're £3 each

 

[Anitacska]

This thread isn't just about premium brands, so no worries, and thanks for the info. The 1D nail polishes look very nice, I might get a few of them, even though I'm not a big fan of 1D (I could be their mother!).

Has anyone ordered/bought any of the new pressed pigments? I've ordered 4 last night, want to check out Midnight in person as I haven't seen swatches, but it's permanent anyway.

Ooh! Please let us know how you get on with them once they arrive. I am really tempted but want to know if there really is a ton of fall out. :S

I've ordered Pink Pepper, Damson, Black Grape and the bright pink one.

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I am tidying my lip draw of my helmer this afternoon and have discovered the hurt lain rouge g in Madame flirte from the new collection is very close dupe for viva glam cyndi lustre lipstick from mac! It's the only mac lipstick left in my collection because I loved the colour, now I may back up Madame flirte if they have it at the airport in 3 weeks time!

I stopped buying makeup in quantity a couple of months ago, and got my Mulberry in their sale. Actually think I've broken the habit - keeping off forums etc does help too!! Skipped the latest releases (including Guerlain) totally. Going to buy some from the Fade to Black from Smashbox though. In The Netherlands at the moment, miles from shops! I've enough makeup to last for ever!!
