My NARS blush palette and Amour blush arrived today, yay!
Am thinking now I won't need to buy any more blush for a long time, but let's see how long that thought actually lasts...!

The Electric set is what I was hoping to get, too. I think I'm due some House Of Fraser vouchers soon, and had planned to buy the set using them.

Glitter and Ice is finally up on House Of Fraser. No Winterized there either, of course.

I'm planning to go to Boots later today for their Christmas points event (£12 in points per £50 spend). I discovered last night that the Soap & Glory makeup is now on 3 for 2 - bonus! I'm also going to take a look at the No7 Christmas makeup range which I noticed on their website last night. That Winter Berry lipstick might be coming home with me, not that I actually need any more lipstick lol.

I'm not going to Boots otherwise I'll end up buying too much stuff. I have some points that I want to put towards the Dior Belle de Nuit lipstick, but that can wait until next week. There's a Christimas shopping evening at school today actually, want to go to that and see if I can pick up some presents, I'm really behind my Christmas shopping. By now I normally have loads of stuff for the children, but I've been very selfish lately just buying make up all the time.

The 3 for 2 made my spend less than it would have been otherwise. I also found I had a voucher for 500 points for every £10 spent on No7, which I've been holding on to for some time, and it didn't say it couldn't be used with 'threshold spends' or when special points events are on, so I got loads of points today. I also got a 200 points voucher from the machine, for one of the things I bought, so I did pretty well. I've been saving my points and now have enough that I could buy one of those hair tools that Lou reviewed, but I'm not sure whether to do that or just use the points on smaller things over time (or maybe in the sales lol).

has anybody else seen this charles worthington kit on boots that keeps your hair straight for 40 days? i keep seeing a tv ad for it but haven't seen it in store yet. i wonder how it works!

MAC Morning Frost Paint Pot - todays specktra blog post

 

[Anitacska]

I've been wearing my Mattenes lately and really love Rare Exotic, plus Deliciously Forbidden is so nice too. I know they came out last month, but I never got around to wearing them with all the other 100 lipsticks I bought at the same time (slight exaggeration). Anyway, if anyone is still interested, Rare Exotic is finally available on the Debehams website!!! (And so is Fresh Amour which was the other one always out of stock.)

I'm quite pleased with the No7 Eyeshadow Sticks I bought today. They're from the Christmas range at Boots and are like Shadesticks but very smooth and with tiny sparkles in. I got both - the Metallic Grey and the Metallic Purple.

Hmm abit off topic here but I was just wondering if anyone has ever purchased something from a H&M designer collaboration? If so is online shopping better or should I risk it and go the store?

I want to get a few of the accessories but as I've never bought anything from a designer collaboration before I want to know whether I'd be better off buying online or in store. Also I'm not sure how early shoppers will start queuing here in Birmingham.... :/

I haven't bought anything from MAC in over a month and I'm already losing it... lol

MAC Morning Frost Paint Pot - todays specktra blog post

I read one review (can't remember where) and they said it was pretty much useless. You should try a salon Brazilian Blow Dry Lou - they get great feedback most of the time.




I had my last planned and unplanned splurge of the year today - a little Dior, some Chanel and a few random bits n bobs!

While there I noticed these really cute little eyeshadow palettes from No7. One of them had a gorgeous green shade bang in the middle and I want the palette just for that colour! But it's £13 and the shadows are tiny, so I have to have SOME sense!

It's this one:

yeah i think i shall skip - read another couple of reviews that said that it made their dry hair even worse and my hair is pretty dry! i did however go to boots today and bought 3 of the 3 days straight spray because they were 3 for £10 which is such a bargain!!

My MAC Pigment collection – part 4 - todays specktra video

You planning to get some stuff from the Versace collection?
They have a few cute dresses and accessories.

I bought stuff from Jimmy Choo collection (had to return both, as I was not pleased with the quality/how they looked) and from Rykiel collection online, and as long as you log in as soon as that stuff goes online you have a fair chance of snapping up the stuff you want. I just can't stand the thought of having to fight for a dress or a bangle in H&M, cos I'd probably lose.

I like the look of a few bracelets and bags from the Versace collection but I am in two minds about it just because I'm scared the quality will also not be there :/ Lol I'd definitely lose the fight as well trust me! I like shopping while calm not in a hectic environment which is why I avoid busy places during sales like a plague!

I think I'm going to try to skip...I mean I still haven't ordered the NARs Danmari Blush Palette and I will cry myself to sleep if I miss out on that! Lol

I just put something in my basket on the MAC website and they automatically added a free sample of Zoom Lash. Thought I'd mention it in case anyone's interested. They're also still doing free postage if you spend £30 or more

oohh that's good! i like free samples!

i bought the estee lauder double wear concealer yesterday. today is my first day wearing it and i must say it has done a great job of covering my spots - you can't see any redness at all. I just hope it doesn't go cakey or look dry throughout the day. Plus because I used £15 from my debs card it only cost me £4! yay!

MAC have FINALLY started giving out samples! I was just thinking a few days ago how Estee Lauder, Clinique and Bobbi Brown always give out a few nice samples but MAC have never, apart from the free mascara they gave a few months ago...that was nice

I have the EL Double Wear Foundation and I love it! I bought it about a year ago for a friends wedding and I've never looked at another foundation since LOL! I want to try the concealer as I didn't like MAC Pro Longwear concealer that I bought a few months ago...

Let us know how you get on with it Thats a great price to get it for!

My 'thumbs up' button is not working :/
