Release dates for the UK

[dirtyprincess]

Kirsty just pm me your address and ill get some sent off to you x
Ive just been to look at the collection and quite liked the bronze polish,it was very pretty so depending on funds i may well pick it up. Also ive just been to check out the topshop makeup line and i really like it (apparently its made in the same factories as MAC). I bought the gold crayon £7 which is like a shadestick but much softer and it stays put !!! Id liken its colour to the illamasquas solstice. I also picked up a blush in butterscotch £6 which ill add on top of my bronzer. All in all im really impressed so far and will go back for more after payday...

I just came home to find my magical black box! The To The Beach lipsticks are got are to die for. I LOVE Beachbound as it reminds me a little of Lollipop Loving.

Really happy with everything I ordered!

I saw the Top Shop collection too, and to be honest, I was really impressed with their range! The quality is about at par with MAC imo, the range of products just isn't as big. I got that gold crayon too, as well as the gold highlight powder. It's so pigmented and finely milled, just divine! I've been checking out their blushes too, which are so soft and pigmented cream to powder finish ones. I wanted to pick up the coral one (Neon Rose) and one of the nudes, but I'll hold out for some other day.

Their lipglosses strangely reminded me of MAC's though. Quite sticky, and a faint vanilla scent! They had a doe foot applicator too, but I guess that's pretty standard among glosses. Top Shop only had a few shades though but they are super gorgeous.

Just Marine Life, Lazy Day and Beachbound.

Posted some photos in the swatches thread for TTB if anyone is interested. I don't think I've seen anyone else with a Beachbound there yet!

Ooh the photos look beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.

How are you liking Marine Life? Did you think it was worth the purchase, product-wise? (Apart from the pretty-ness I mean)

You're welcome! And I really do like Marine Life as a shade, for me being so pale I will be mostly wearing it as a blush which makes it doubly great but the only downside is that it is very similar to Ripe Peach. I held them next to each other and the darker sides are almost identical. The lighter side on Marine Life is slightly more pink and subdued than coral though which makes it a little different. Swirled this also gives a nice result, perhaps a little nicer than Ripe Peach even! Marine Life is quite shimmery too, which may put some people off as it's just down to personal preference. I might have preferred it to be matte but all in all I'm glad I didn't pass on it as I reckon I'll get lots of good usage.

Awesome. I deliberately missed out on Ripe Peach because it just didn't 'wow' me. A lot of people have been having problems with the lighter shade of Ripe Peach, but love the darker side, so I now look forward to Marine Life!

Do you think you will be checking out the rest of the collection when its released in stores? Which other ones do you have your eye on? x

Now my list consists of

Lazy Day lipstick
Life's a breeze lip pencil
Marine Life
Get Away Bronze blush

Maybe

Beach Bronze creme bronzer - if the colour is a lot different from Refined Golden
Sand and Sun eyeshadow - if its different from Tete a Tint or Samoa Silk.

I'll be working the day of the release, luckily for me my MAC counter is literally across the road from my work so I'll probably go in for a nose anyway. I have about £15 on a Debenhams card so that may be spent on Life's A Breeze lipliner but that will most likely be it.

I wanted another Golden bronzer for the packaging as I've hit pan on my current one but eek I really know I shouldn't!

I just tracked my parcel online as it hasn't arrived yet... it says on the DHL site 'possible delay due to parcel damage'

It was apparently 'repacked' & left the depot (again) just after 6pm, but it's obviously too late for it to arrive now until Monday *cries*

Oh no, that really sucks!

I'm always afraid my things get damaged in the post, had a couple of MSFs and MES destroyed by the Royal Mail before. Hope your stuff is all okay though and you will get it first thing on Monday!

Thanks hun, I will pm you in a sec. I'm glad the Topshop range is being rated so highly, I love the packaging & it all looks gorgeous, but the prices were a bit scary. I really wanna try the liquid liner.

 

[nunu]

Any girls here who shop in Selfridges in Birmingham? I want to know whether TTB is released there yet.

Thank you!

 

[Kirsty]

Wow i'm loving the swatch of Beachbound l/s that was just posted. I just dug out my B2M's & have 14

So I think I will get Lazy Day & Beachbound. I might take my Nude Rose to compare, as I think LD may be v. similar to what I already have: Nude Rose, Patisserie, 3N possibly Creme Cup.

I will have to depot my Instant Chic so I can keep my empty Neo Sci-Fi eyeshadow pot. I use it to transport my pan e/s when I feel like I may need to touch up during the day. Much safer than taking a 15 pan palette! Thats quite sad

I have one for blush too.

 

[dirtyprincess]

I'm enjoying lash stiletto (maybelline) atm. It gives me spiky well-defined shiny lashes

 

[banana1234]

My faves are... Max Factor False Lash Effect, the fat one, not the long thin one, that's sh*t lol

Maybelline Collosal

and the New L'oreal Million Lashes

 

[dirtyprincess]

False lash effect and maybelline collossal for me too and ive got the rimmel one but i havent tried it yet x
