Yes it is real and it looks gorgeous! I love pinky neutrals, so it's right up my alley too.

When are the new Mac collections supposed to go up on Debenhams??? They have the cover pictures, but nothing else. I just want the 3 MSFs, saw them today in Bentalls, but decided not to get them there, so I can earn points at Debenhams instead.

Saw the new Dior eyeshadow palettes, but I won't get them, I have too much stuff and they're not that unique anyway. I will probably order the new Bobbi Brown shimmer brick though, it's pretty.

Oh and the John Lewis in Kingston had a massive makeover and they now have all sorts of luxury brands like Hourglass, etc.
It's driving me crazy, if the cover pictures are there the products ought to be too, shouldn't take this long to get them up. Almost like they forgot! I don't want to miss out on my lippies...

Good luck with your results when they come, i'm sure you've done well! Has anyone seen the pictures of the UD Naked 3 palette? Very exciting for me as i'm a fan of rosier neutrals. I do hope it is real, this blogger posts a pic of her Sephora receipt along with swatches - http://wheeconfetti.com/2013/11/06/la-naked-3-de-urban-decay-les-swatchs/. There are mutterings Sephora France has been duped into buying counterfeit items from a supplier but i can't really see that happening as such a massive company would surely deal direct with UD/L'oreal. I'm also really looking forward to the Garden of Eden palette from Sleek which is due out Jan/Feb time. It is right up my alley - http://www.shades-of-pink.de/sleek-idivine-palette-garden-of-eden.html ETA: Naked 3 is real and will be out here in December - http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/11/urban-decay-naked-3.html
TOO excited for the sleek palette!!

I got a couple things after work from mac collection Perfectly poised skin finish + Private party lipstick, already got lavish living blush the other day think this might be my only purchases from mac holiday Also got the Laura mercier artist palette and my god it's beautiful I swatched It in HoF and the sales lady said half the stock there is already gone in like a day. Literally the shadows are like butter and so work appropriate definately check this out!! Even if it's just to swatch, it my best makeup purchase of the year!!

I wore the palette today and the shadows have excellent wear time! I wore soft ochre paint pot and the shadows on top and I wore it at 6.30ish this morning and it's still pretty much vibrant as well as no creasing and it's past 10 now. Also has anyone checked out the too faced joy to the girls palette, I was really drawn in by the packaging and was going to order blind from beauty bay but saw it in boots and the colors didn't really do much for me and some of the textures are a bit off. The names are beyond cute though!!! It's a skip for me

The new MSFs are up on Debenhams now, except for one, so I ended up ordering that and the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick from House of Fraser. I'll still get my bonus 500 points from Debenhams as the MSFs are now £24 each!

Let's hope the other John Lewis's follow! Selfridges are still renovating their beauty hall and it is such a maze at the moment but they now seem to carry the full Tom Ford beauty line though I didn't get a chance to take a proper look as I was just passing by - hope they get some more new interesting beauty brands!

Good luck with your exam results! I'm hoping to get the NARS promiscuous set at the end of the month - hope it is still in stock :/
 
I'm not sure about the radiant palette but I've only used it once so I think I need to play with it abit more, though I love the primer!
 
Eek that palette looks good! but not sure whether the lighter colours will show on my skin tone :/
 
 
Did anyone get the BBB Beauty Box? Mine arrived today and I seriously cannot believe the value for money it is - I can't wait to try everything!

I ordered the BBB beauty box because there were bits in it I wanted to try and would use, it hadn't arrived before i left for work this morning, so hopefully it will be there tonight or tomorrow.....excited! I think I might be getting Naked 3.....Naked 1 was a little warm for me, Naked 2 was better, but a touch dark for everyday at work.....I think Naked 3 might be perfect! I also decided last night that I am going on a complete no buy from January 1st EEK! I will only repurchase something when I am completely out, i.e eye primer as I only use 1! I am going to alloe myself 2 mini breaks with minimal budgets, 1 in my birthday month and 1 in the holiday season. I will be doing a full stash inventory in December post sale and then monitoring my progress, I don't think I will ever run out of powder products but I would love to reduce the volume of things that could go bad!

Urgh me too. I need to go on a no buy. I just finished my shopping list pre Christmas and I've got it all budgeted. That said January is my birthday month so I'll still be going a little crazy I think :\ Feb 1st NO BUY STATUS.

That Laura Mercier palette does look lovely, but I'm pretty sure I already have most of the shades in my stash. I have a few of the past holiday palettes. Laura Mercier is a great brand. :)

My birthday was last saturday and I went to Bicester but I was very underwhelmed (not a bad thing) I think I expected the cco to be a little bigger but I was happy I never got anymore makeup!

There was a YSL purse in the outlet that I really liked but by the time I went back to the store to purchase it, it had sold out :/

I'm going to use the Ren masks tomorrow as my skin really needs a pick me up! I am really impressed with the box contents and wish Jane will do more in the future!

I have been buying alot less makeup lately, it just takes up too much room :/ also I'm telling myself that I can save up and buy a designer bag instead as a late birthday present to myself :)

Happy belated birthday Alisha! Yes, the CCO in Bicester (or Portsmouth for that matter) is very small. I bought some VAE when I went in January, but since I normally buy everything when they come out, I didn't see anything else interesting. I did get some really good, cheap stuff from the CCO in Orlando though.

Happy belated birthday!

I'm going to Paris for mine I think so I should be able to get some MUFE but I have Charlotte TIlbury, Illamasqua and Giorgio Armani wants. I want a few indie brands shadows too! Givenchy spring comes out a few days before my birthday too so there's more to spend, they are launching cream shadows - I can't wait!

Thank you! I'm so angry at myself as I went to London last week and was in Selfridges but I completely forgot to check out Charlotte Tilburys makeup line! I was also meant to head to PAM to check out MUFE foundations and concealers but we ran out of time :/ oxford street was sooo busy because of the holidays!


And on another note has there been any news on when we will be getting Marc Jacobs makeup? BBB did say there was rumours but I hope we get the line here soon! The polishes and glosses look to die for!

Aww that's a shame! The MUFE HD foundation is really damn nice I'm just having problems getting the right shade :mad:

I saw on CT's site that if you bought her foundation you would get samples of that shade and then the 1 lighter and 1 darker so you could send it back if it was wrong. I thought that was a great idea! I'll probably try that soon and see how I like it.

I wish everyone would do this! Especially brands that have hardly any counters here!

I think the UK needs to buck up it's ideas when it comes to cosmetic returns, so its nice to see some brands doing foundation guarantees at the very least.
