Yes, she is really lovely! Just popped to HoF, LoB is out. Didn't buy anything else in the end, but the coral lipstick is really pretty. So far, nothing exciting in the sales.

My new Anna Suit eyeshadow palette arrived in the post from Escentual today - my first ever Anna Sui, and only £13.13 in their sale after discount and including postage. Lovely colours, but there's a very strong rose scent to it.

Also, from a separate Escentual order, also with the 20.15% discount, I got Guerlain Rouge Automatiques in 144 Insolence, 165 Champs-Elysee and 171 Attrape-Coeur. I love them all, and am currently wearing Insolence.

I've received my Debenhams order today, both my MSFs have good veining and the blushes are nicely marbled too. I'm pretty happy with them, although the new compacts are really quite ugly.

The new compact design on the MSFs made me question whether to buy Perfect Topping or not. I don't like it, and I really don't like that it doesn't match my other MSFs. In the end I bought it, because at some point I'm going to have to accept the new packaging and it might as well be now. I'm going to have to switch my Muji drawers around because I cant have the non-matching MSF drawer at the top taunting me!

Have any of you ladies got any tom ford boys? Here is jullian I got a few others coming but I have to wait as they are in states x Anyhows I'm enjoying jullian ATM If you have any please share your swatches ))

 

[rockin]

I don't have any Tom Ford at all. It's not a brand that appeals to me.


My MAC order arrived from Debenhams today. The MSFs are particularly lovely, but I really hate the new packaging - not just because it's different to the other MSF packaging I have, but because it's a really ugly design.

Me either! Or Charlotte Tilbury. I don't think it helps that I can't stand either of them as people. I just think it's more hype and the luxury and exclusive perception rather than the actual quality/performance of the products.

I can see Charlotte Tilbury is a talented makeup artist but I still miles prefer Lisa Eldridge even though they were trained by the same people. I wish Lisa would bring out her own line, rather than just being a behind the scenes like at No 7

I used to watch Charlotte's videos on yt and was really excited about the makeup but I went to the counter at Selfridges a few times and they always ignored me! I've been there more than 10 times now, no one even says hello to me even if there are no other customers, it's really disrespectful. So I'm not excited about the line anymore, it's not that I need their help, but I hate being treated like that.

The Nars counter in Selfridges is like that.

Ihate the new MSF packaging, I think it looks really tacky...

 

[HIC93]

The Lightscapade has quite a bit of blue in it and the Perfect Topping has a fair amount of purple. I have an eyeshadow quad by TF and some perfume. I agree about the compacts, they're just ugly. I also don't like it that the box isn't see through.  No, me neither. CT just looks boring and overpriced to me. At least TF has some gorgeous colours.  The Nars counter in Selfridges is like that. :down:  

Whenever I've been to Selfridges I find the sales assistants either totally not bothered and really rude, or way too enthusiastic and pushy!!

I have a few Tom Ford lipsticks but I have the shades I want the most from his range.. plus I resent the fact that a mini costs £26.. a mini. His blushes are pretty nice and massive. I didn't like the eyeshadow much, felt like I could only do one look - same for CT since they are the same concept.

I like Charlotte Tilbury's stuff but I've whittled down my initial collection to mostly lipsticks, blushes and a cream eyeshadow pencil. I think the quality is there but not a must have.

 

[Anitacska]

Debenhams has a 500 points for £35 spend on beauty and fragrance atm. I can't see anything I want, but hopefully the spring collections start coming out soon, esp. Guerlain!

Thanks for sharing! I'm waiting for the spring collections too.

Has anyone bought any of the new Real Techniques brushes? The prices are ridiculous!

i've ordered the tapered blush and the pointed crease, so they should be with me in a few days.
the price is quite high but then i suppose compared to the standard line they always would be as the standard line is such good value!

I'd love to hear your opinion when you receive them. I guess I wouldn't mind the price if they weren't $20 in the US

 

[staceface]

I got the contour brush, the blush, and the pointed crease brush and like them all.

they are sooo soft!
