Hey ladies! I just got an email from mac inviting me to a divine night event at Liverpool on the 29th, I've never had an email invitation before! Jut a shame I don't want anything from divine night, just the tastitints set from nocturals. Although doesn't all of the holiday collection release at the same time in the uk?

I think the sets are released 2 weeks or so after the main collection, if I remember correctly. I only want the MSFs myself, and not too fussed when. I'll probably order from Debenhams or HoF anyway.

What day does divine night actually release? Got the hourglass palette yday from liberty with the three ambient lighting powders inside, it's beyond cute but I assumed there would be more product they're way smaller then I anticipated so I dunno how gd value for money it actually is.

It's a good palette if you want a variety. However you get 10g in a full sized ambient powder and iirc the palette powders work out to 9.9g total in weight AND for a higher price. I only want Dim so I'll stick with getting that in full size. The primer is freakin' amazing though!

Do they still sell MAC online? I swear I went to the website to find no MAC products...
John Lewis are opening a store in Birmingham next year or the year after so hoping to see an Hourglass counter but I very much doubt it...

My friend in the US sent me a sample of the primer along with some MUFE HD samples! I LOVE it! I'm getting me a travel sized one from the US ($18 v £20
) too and I've heard it lasts ages. My skin is pretty decent anyway so I technically didn't need primer but when I wore it with the MUFE foundation it looked beautiful. I hate to say it but I think the full sized is worth every penny of that £52!I'm pretty sure JL had MAC online but I don't know when they removed it. I've heard there's counters popping up though, so I'm hoping mine gets one. I don't have any hope for a Hourglass one but I'll keep dreaming. I can just always go Nottingham if they get it or Birmingham I guess - no reason why you wouldn't there! It makes sense to get one.

I was afraid of that! Lol glad I got the sample size to see how it works for me before I take the plunge! I was so good at my makeup no-buy till I saw the Hourglass set...a NARS lipstick might have also been added to the orderMy friend in the US sent me a sample of the primer along with some MUFE HD samples!

The good thing about the John Lewis store opening soon here is that Selfridges are changing their beauty hall because of the competition! They're going to open a Shu Uemura counter but I hope they introduce other brands as well - I would love a MUFE counter but that is very unlikely - I can't understand why no department store has picked them up! I'm hopefully going to London next month so will try to pop into Guru Makeup Emporium and try the foundations and concealers!

I ordered my hourglass palette yesterday along with a new nars eyeshadow primer, excited for it to arrive! I have been working hard to minimising my collection and its the first new thing in a couple of weeks! the only other thing i really want is the nars 6 shade blush palette, but i can't work out if it is coming to the uk as it is a sephora exclusive! I managed to sell my ikea helmer on ebay at the weekend for more than I paid for it as its now too big for my collection! result! Planning on working hard next year to minimise it further to just things I love and use, hoping to have a major clear out in november once my exam is over and slim down my eyeshadow collection and my blushes too, but I am soo attached to the blushes it is unreal! the MSF's will be looking for a new home though as I never use them! I really want to go into 2014 with a managable collection that i can use and enjoy, rather than the one that scared me at the start of the year when I opened a drawer!

Debenhams have a secret 10% off code MJ29 works on beauty gift sets and fragrance gift sets. Shame I just wanted to get general beauty buys but you guys should check out what theyre classing as a gift set because theres a lot of palettes in there.

Not sure if it's been posted, but some of the new Guerlain (including the meteorites) is online at HofF now.

They have quite a few good products especially for the price too many to list!
Their brushes are a bit hit and miss especially the essential line but a lot of people swear by the studio flat top powder brush for buffing in liquid foundation.I have one and can confirm it does a good job but it's not really holy grail for me but can't really argue with less than £2 with the discount
Their HD blushes and studio matte lip colours are also really good.
Their studio blush in Gotta Glow is a great dupe for Nars Albatross highlighter. Any of the studio blushes I have from them are nice. Their cream blushes are also supposed to be good.
They also have some baked blushes which are great dupes for the MAC MSFs such as e.g. Pinktastic = MAC soft & gentle.
If you're after some everyday eyeshadows their custom eyes siingles are good for the price.
There are some chubby stick lip crayons which i haven't tried but which i'm going to order which i've heard good things about.
Finally their HD powder is a must have if you're going to place an order. If you're in to loose setting powders that is.
Oner word of advice is to google for swatches if you want to order a particular colour, often the website picture is not really a good representation of what the colour actually is.
Hope that helps

Decided to not get the Hourglass palette and picked up a single powder in Ethereal Light instead so i can use it as an all over setting powder. Not sure the colours in the palette would have worked for me

I would've got just one if I'd know which one but like this I can try a few. I live in Spain and we Haven't got hourglass counters here
