The page seems to be gone now :( You got me really curious now :) I also agree that it is absolutely a form of an addiction... addiction with all things cute and pretty :) And those darn makeup companies know it too well. That is why they invest so much effort in beautiful designs and packaging these days.
Its a hardcore addiction! And no one else seems to get it! I was reading this blog post just now: http://www.pinksith.com/2011/11/lancome-maison-lancome-gentle-and-long.html

...so funny and true! Lol

Thanks! Do you by any chance know when the offer is on till? :)

Until Nov 13th. Spend 29 pounds (sorry, I only have a dollar sign on my keyboard!) and enter promo code NARSNOV at checkout to get a free mini Orgasm illuminator. Free shipping is if you spend 30 pounds & over :)

Thank you, Anita! Just had a read and it really made me chuckle, because it was so recognizable (especially "distracted magpie" behaviour, lol! I always leave the items I have originally come for for "dessert").
Haha the stores won't know what hit them, when we will be holding our MJ meet :)

^Haha, that article is brilliant!

"The best way to spot a MJ (Makeup Junkie) in the wild is to look for a woman (or Man) with an arm or hand that is covered in a motley of colors from lipsticks, shadows and blushes."

This has me written all over it...

My Debenhams order has arrived :)

Loving the Paint Pots - such beautiful sparkle in them. I've only tried things on the back of my hand so far, but Snowglobe gives it a lovely glow without being 'shiny' - think I'm going to be getting a lot of use from this. Don't think I'll be using the bag the mineralize brushes came with though as it looks very weird with that silver circle on the side, sticking above the top like that. I couldn't use the bit behind the circle as a pocket as I'd be afraid of the bag tearing where it is attached to it. The Sultry lip bag is very nice, though.

Yay! Your orders finally come, hope you enjoy your goodies! Hmm I need to go to a MAC counter and swatch the new PP that everyone seems to be raving...

My Nars order came today too and the eyeshadow palette is gorgeous. Haven't swatched it yet (of course), but it looks so pretty. I also got Hungary Heart blush duo which is more of a highlighter, it's really nice though. It was the same French delivery guy again, I'm beginning to think he's bringing these packages form France directly, lol.

Here are more pictures and some swatches of the Chanel lip products, sorry it took so long I actally took the pictures a few days ago and forgot to post

L-R: Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Empire, Dior Or Etoile, Dior Victorne, Dior Noctorne, Chanel Rouge Allure Enivree
Bottom: Chanel Sweet Beige Glossimer


L-R: Sweet Beige Glossimer, Enivree Rouge Allure and Empire Rouge Allure Laque
I couldn't get the shimmers to translate into the pictures because of the terrible weather we've had for the past few days.

Sweet Beige - has gold shimmers which to me are more apparent in the tube than on the lips but we'll see when we get some sun!
Enivree - is a gorgeous pink with pink glitter which I didn't expect to like as much as I do! LOVE!
Empire - is also another winner for me - I love it over Enivree

Chanel Rouge Carat, Dior Merveille, Dior Apparat, Dior Or Divin, Dior Exquis

Chanel Rouge Carat - Definitely more interesting in person than in all the pictures I've seen to date, the pink shimmers are beautiful. Reminds me of Byzantin Rouge Allure
Dior Or Divin - Probably the polish that I could've done without but I wanted it as the only 'gold' I have is from Rimmel and it seems to be drying out. Wouldn't really class it as a gold though as its more yellow. The other Dior polishes are far more interesting....

Ugh, I also have the two cats! It's like a bloody zoo in this house, lol. Actually, the cats are the least trouble. :)

I haven't actually swatched Winterized as I wanted to take pictures for my blog, but it is very pretty and not as dark as some of the pictures I've seen.

The French delivery guy is lovely, but not handsome. My regular postman looks a bit like Robson Green though (just grumpier).

My sister said that my Debenhams order arrived as well, fewwwwwwwwwwwww :)

Haha, imagine if French cosmetics companies would have their parcels delivered by hot men with French accents... Their income would go through the roof, haha :)

I received some items from my Sephora F&F haul today, and Danmari blush palette was among them. It is actually much bigger than I expected, so it is a really good deal for your money!

^I have swatched both the Chanel highlighter and the Lancome Golden Hat and have to say I soooo prefer the Chanel one! I was actually afraid the Chanel highlighter wouldn't work for me but I wore it the day before yesterday (and today) and it gives off a perfect beigey sheen with a little shimmer. Sadly I can't say the same for the Golden Hat highlighter which is weird cause when I swatched it in John lewis I remember thinking how pretty it was. It just does not work on my skin tone but it may work for lighter girlies :) Oh well I'm super glad it came from birthday money I got off my family so it seems like more of a gift anyways just like the rest of the haul :)

Merveille is very pretty! I actually was a little iffy about it because it was a bright cherry red but the gold just makes it stunning! The only time I remember wearing a bright red was for Red Nose day and even then I cover it with a Konad pattern ;)

Can you please post pictures? :) I have no idea when/if I'll be able to order it as I'm completely skint but I can try to live vicariously through pictures until I can afford it :)

I hope it does not sell out, I've been lemming it ever since I first saw pictures :(
