I'm going to try my hardest to avoid the shopping event. I'm on a self imposed budget for the rest of the year. I crashed my car a few days ago and I still don't know if it's going to be a write off, but if it is, that's going to cost me 2 grand to buy a similar car. And that is if the insurance company gives us a good price for the car.

I read about your crash on a different thread, are you and your son okay now? XxI'm going to try my hardest to avoid the shopping event. I'm on a self imposed budget for the rest of the year.

And that is if the insurance company gives us a good price for the car.If not, then it will cost us even more. Oh and there's the £250 excess as well...

Thanks. Yes, we were both fine, it wasn't too bad, just couldn't stop in time and bumped the car in front. The front of my car is pretty smashed up, I'm still waiting to hear if it's fixable, but at least I now have a courtesy car.

A new store has opened up in our shopping centre. I'm hoping it has everything that is on its online store, especially the NYX http://the-beauty-store.co.uk/
Just had a look on their website and they have China Glaze crackle polishes at £3.99 each or set of 9 for £22.50!

Maidstone isn't one of them, so I'm very happy that the new The Beauty Store' that has opened up in our shopping centre stocks it. I went in there today, and felt like a kid in a sweet shop. Apparently they are authorised distributors for NYX. They only had a few colours of the jumbo eye pencil (no 'Milk') but said they are expecting more stock in the next few days. Loads and loads of lipsticks, eyeshadows, nail polishes etc. I got eyeshadows, a lip pencil, a jumbo lip pencil, an eye pencil and a jumbo eye pencil for £1.95 each, loose face powder £6.95, powder blush £3.95, eyeshadow trio £3.95, a lip gloss for £2.95 and Doll Eye mascara for £4.95. They also had sets of lip glosses for £12 instead of, I think, £22. They said NYX is a line they always carry, so can order stock in. I told them I'm hoping for Milk jumbo pencil and Taupe blush, as well as the matte lip creams.
They have gained themselves a regular customer LOL
My son went around lining up all the lipglosses, pencils etc to face the same way, showing off his Aspergers traits beautifully LOL.

Thanks - none of my local stores will be stocking it unfortunately. Looks like a trip to Westfield might be in order - I could check out the Inglot store at the same time LOL!

I have a son like that - and the eldest was probably Aspergers too, though was never diagnosed. He certainly crashed and burned when he went off to uni, and just couldn't cope with being on his own. My eleven year old was seen by the educational psychologist, who said that he was a classic case, but had too much imagination to be diagnosed. He's also almost dispraxic (spelling?), again, couldn't be diagnosed because of something to do with the right side/left side of his brain balance. He does get some help, but not much - no money for the help needed for kids who are 'special' these days in the state system Certainly he couldn't cope with things all topsy turvy!

I picked up some of the new Bourjois releases and it's a mixed bag.
The 2 new colour boost lip crayon colours are gorgeous as always, really nice additions to the line and great for autumn.
The cream to powder shadows are nice and pigmented for the most part but as they don't stay a cream and set like a paint pot or the Maybelline ones so you may as well just use a powder and they don't really work as bases. The colours are nice though but i'd definitely skip the gold and silver as they are a little sheer. My faves are the khaki and burgundy and the one that looks pale pink is actually a nice dupe in the MAC Naked Lunch or Jest area. I didn't get the blue as it wasn't in stock though I think that might be another fave based on online swatches.
The blush exclusif has probably been the worst purchase but that could be my body chemistry as it's supposed to react and make a unique colour a bit like the barry m touch of magic lipstick. Anyway it's a super pale pink in the pot and basically it's not changed on me whether applied to my cheeks or swatched on my arm so I can't even see it as I already have pale pinky skin. Such a disappointment as I like their other cream to powder blushes
This might just be me but I've never had any other issues with products with the same concept.
The java rice powder, not sure why everyone raves about that it's far too glittery though used sparingly it can give a nice bit of highlight.
Finally I also got a nail polish in dangerous wish which is a great colour for Halloween

Was walking through John Lewis in Southampton today and DH pointed out that there's a MAC counter opening soon!
I used to go to HOF in Guildford out of desperation but now those snooty b****es at the MAC counter in Guidlford can go suck lemons because I'll be heading to JL instead!

I go to Guildford HoF quite often and never had any problems with the MAs, quite the opposite in fact. What don't you like about them?Was walking through John Lewis in Southampton today and DH pointed out that there's a MAC counter opening soon!I used to go to HOF in Guildford out of desperation but now those snooty b****es at the MAC counter in Guidlford can go suck lemons because I'll be heading to JL instead!

I pretty much get completely ignored just about every single time. Once it wasn't even busy and there were 3 MAs working. 2 were putting makeup on people and the 3rd MA coloured in a face chart and acted like I was invisible the whole 10 to 15 minutes I was there. I know for a fact she saw me because she walked between displays to grab products. I don't go frequently, due to the hour long train ride, but when I'm there, I'm ready to buy. I always preferred JL to HOF anyways.

I went to the new 'Beauty Store' in our shopping centre again today, hoping to be able to get NYX 'Milk' jumbo pencil or NYX 'Taupe' blush, but they still haven't got them in. I did, however, get 3 NYX nail polishes at £3.95 each, and I was surprised to find a big pile of the Diego Dalla Palma 'Snow White & The Huntsman' palettes on the counter, at £14.95 each!
