I got my Ocho Loco 2 today


In the post, I have received news from Boots about their first Christmas shopping event. No idea why they've given me a thing about their Bluewater branch, as it's much too far away, but it's on Thursday, 10th October and it's the usual £12 worth of points when you spend £50. However, it does tell me that the first of their "Star Gifts" will be the 'Viva La Juicy' Juicy Couture set - was £60 but will be 'better than half price' at £29.50 from 4th to 10th October.

Boots Christmas Gift Guide book is now out, too - I picked mine up today.

I also bought a Barry M pencil sharpener. It has 2 ends - one for fat pencils and one for skinny pencils. It has a little 'pick' with it for cleaning bits out of the blades, but it also has a little adjuster thing, supposedly so you can sharpen the pencil to be pointed or rounded at the end. I haven't tried it out yet, though. It was only £2, so I thought I might as well.

Yeah I got that in the post too day about the Boots event. I saw the contents of the Boots Advent Calendar too and I was a bit disappointed with it, glad I didn't spend the £30 on it. The Ciate one is tempting me instead! £42 and a ton of minis!

From HoF? I still can't see it online

I like the UD sharpener the best , I've never bought one though I have about 4 or 5 from various sets but none of the new designs like the one that comes with Ocho Loco. The Barry M one does sound intriguing though with the adjuster!

Where did you get it from?

 

[rockin]

I bought Ocho Loco 2 instore at House Of Fraser, and used my vouchers to get £20 off.


The Barry M sharpener I actually picked up in Superdrug because they are currently giving away a Lash Vegas mascara if you spend £9. I bought one of their new palettes, and needed something to boost the spend so I could get the freebie LOL. I got sharpeners for me and for my daughter, as they're only £2 each.

My Face Case just arrived from HQHair (I had a 20% discount code sent to me as I haven't bought anything from them for a while). I'm really pleased with it. Pictures on the internet made the blushes look darker than they actually are, but I prefer them in real life.

RiRi and the prolongwear collection are up on Debenhams' site. If they didn't have RiRi written on everything I might have been interested in a palette, as I love the colour of the packaging.

Thanks! I ordered RiRi Woo (only thing I wanted, couldn't hack the waiting room from the previous releases!) and a PP, plus a couple of perm items from my list to take the order over £50 as it should qualify for the 750 bonus points. Much better than ordering direct from Mac LOL

 

[jennyap]

However, in case anyone's interested, RiRi is up on the Mac site now

 

[mushroomteagirl]

I would have liked the RiRi Woo lipglass as it's the closest you're gonna get to a Ruby Woo one most likely but it's sold out on MAC and not showing on Debenhams.

 

[jennyap]

Wow that was quick, not that it's a surprise I guess as they've actually sent out the email promptly too. Half an hour and the l/g, both liners, Nude & TTT l/s, Her Cocoa quad, blush, blush duo and CCB all gone. And one of the brushes!

The Urban decay stuff is finally up on HoF. Ocho Loco is here: http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Urban+Decay+Ocho+Loco+24/7+Pencil+Set/190372888,default,pd.html

I can't believe how expensive the riri collection is. I was going to get riri woo and the blush but I'm passing on both now.
I've bought ocho loco 2 instead

 

[mushroomteagirl]

Also for anyone that missed out elsewhere RiRi is starting to appear on HoF under the various categories

Thank you, I have ordered it and the Black Market set. I'm not getting anything from Mac this month, nothing's inspired me enough to fork out money.

 

[Anitacska]

I did pick up a free Barry M mascara though with a purchase of 2 polishes and a pencil sharpener (thanks for the tip, Dawn!) and I also got two Bourjois polishes for £7 (£6.99 each normally) in Boots.

Really want talk that talk lippie from mac if anyone knows anywhere that has it in stock let me know I seem to have exhausted all places online.

Talk that talk was still in stock at mac, HoF in Reading yesterday. I don't know if they would mail it out for you. But it is worth a phone call to find out. Good luck.
