Also saw the cool 15 palette - didn't see the warm, was probably being used. The cool was completely untouched at that point. It's so gorgeous, I'm going to have to have it. Was planning to get Naked 3 but I think this will take its place.

I picked up both the warm and cool palettes last night. I was so lucky everywhere else in Manchester was sold out but HoF were holding their last one of each for someone else so they said if i call back a few moments before closing and the lady still hadn't shown i could take them instead, they are indeed stunning :) They had loads of stuff from FoF left.

Excited for the UD electric palette!

I started depotting my MAC shadows last night (finally) after years of contemplating whether to do it or not.

I did all of my blues (surprisingly only 15?) and my purples (22?) and quit for the night. The smell of rubbing alcohol ended up giving me a migraine. The whoopsie was the fact I forgot to buy magnets before deciding to do the depotting adventure so they're currently sitting in the palettes in a drawer not being moved so they don't move around, lol.

I also only broke 3, all of which were repairable so that's good. Prussian, Signed Sealed and Sketch. I think the first two were because of the Matte2 formula, it's so buttery soft it just cracks at the slightest movement which wasn't helped as I didn't use any heat so was prying quite a bit. All good though, they're fixed - I didn't lose anything from Signed Sealed, it just had a major crack so I re-pressed it just to be sure as it's one of the best shadows ever.

I have to admit though, I was super nervous about depotting anything LE, but I did it in the end -- even the cute packaging, because I just can't find anything anymore. I know WHAT I want to use, but when I have to dig through layers of shadows because I can't find what I'm looking for it becomes a bit tedious. On the bright side -- once I'm done depotting everything I'll have enough empties for 20 free lipsticks. Crazy! Can empty wipes be used as an empty or no?

HoF haven't even got the palettes online yet, and neither have MAC or Debenhams, so I'm surprised any branch of HoF had them in stock. My nearest HoF (and the only one I can get to) doesn't stock MAC at all.

Seems there are quite a few faults with the Naked 3 Palette then... I'm waiting for the MAC 15 palettes to hit Debenhams - might as well collect points. I was trying to work out whether it would be worthwhile buying them when over in the US but it works out about the same price. It's taken me a while to decide whether I really needed them when I have my custom palettes but I do not own the majority of the shadows in either palette - so let's consider it an investment... ;)

I did the same thing, but not worth the wait. Unlike the empty palettes - I just converted pounds to dollars, and for the 5 palettes I want, it's a saving of about £70! Which basically makes the filled palette I just ordered free, right?

I bought the new Barry M Nail Paints in Caspian and Mediterranean. Caspian reminds me of one of the small Max Factor nail polishes, and Mediterranean reminds me very much of MAC Bad Fairy. If I could find my Bad Fairy I'd compare them properly. Both are very nice, though, as are the Barry M Silk Nail Paints in Heather and Blossom.

I saw those the other day, they are very nice, but I already have a lot of those duochrome shades. I got the two falkies instead, Mermaid and Treasure Chest.

Ooh thanks for mentioning that, I never look at Barry M usually. I just picked up the same two as you - been wanting a Bad Fairy dupe for the longest time. From what I've seen I think BF might be a little deeper and more complex than this, but it's definitely similar. Caspian reminds me of one of the Revlon duochromes that came out last year.

Jenny, Accessorize do a very good Bad Fairy dupe, I think it's called Aztec? I'll look into it later.

Caspian is absolutely a dupe for Revlon Chroma Chameleon in Pink Quartz. I've just compared them. I haven't found my Bad Fairy yet to compare it with Mediterranean, though.

soooo i had some back 2 mac s to do yesterday, i had enough for 2 lippies

i was in selfridges manchester
couldnt find any that i liked and they didnt have heroine for me to try so i just went with hot tahiti

took my six depotted eyeshadows without a blink
sadly they didnt have hot tahiti so i went to house of fraser to see if they had it there

i saw they had snapdragon, its not very pigmented but i kind of liked that i could just throw it on for a nice sheen
so i asked for snapdragon and hot tahiti

the lady said i wasnt allowed snapdragon because it was LE
but luckily the man processing my b2ms chipped in and said he heard it was fine so long as they werent in special packaging
which is what i said mac chat had told me twice when id asked on different occasions

so she went away and there was a lot of talk with her manager or whatever, she said her manager said no that wasn't their policy and the mac chat people are just assistants etc
but that they'd do it for me this time
and then they were talking amoungst themselves saying they'd need to get clarification

ooosh! wow, not my fault your company tells people different things!
i mean they couldnt really have said no because of the mac chats i could have showed and even the guy at the till said it was fine

but i think i read on this thread or another that they actually are changing the policy (in teh uk at least) that you cant b2m for an LE lipstick?

i certainly wont be trying to b2m for an LE lippie again, cant handle the shade!
