UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I have finally signed up for Topcashback, just got 15% cash back on a personalised jigsaw puzzle I've ordered for my daughter. Yay!

I'm trying to be very good and not buy any make up, so far so good, although I have finally given in and ordered Nubile paint pot from Debenhams before it's sold out. It was one the 4 I won from Temptalia, but I still haven't received them, so I just thought I might as well get it and if I get the extra one, I can always sell it. I have got one each of the other 3 because I was too afraid they might sell out before I get her package, or rather if I don't get her package. Really ridiculous now it's been 6 weeks and still nothing, she's really taking the piss. Makes you wonder if she actually ever sends out the prizes because she hardly ever announces the winners on the website, so who would know? I know I'm being bitchy here, but if I do a giveaway on my blog, I usually send stuff out within days, not bloody weeks!

Anyway... not sure what I'll get from the couture collection, nothing really appeals to me, maybe the nail polishes, but I need to see swatches. It's going to be online exclusive isn't it? So no discount/bonus points from Debenhams/HoF. Oh don't know.

No I agree - it's been a crazy amount of time and good point about not annoucing who wins.... it does make you wonder. But I do hope that you get them eventually - maybe in time for christmas?!

Today is a big day for me so please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me - nothing beauty related of course but equally as important to me. If it goes ahead I shall let you know when I find out.

Had Strada been at the normal price, I would have bought it, but I'm not paying inflated prices for designer packaging. Same with the pigments - I'm having to skip them because of the extra cost of the packaging

What's so special about Strada?

Good luck, Lou, whatever it is you need it for!

I'm so pissed off with Boots, I still haven't got the extra 900 points they said they'd give me because I missed out on the offer when their website wasn't working. Last Monday I got an e-mail that the points have been added to my account, but I've just checked and still nothing. Really don't think I'll bother with Boots again.

When I collect points from Boots Treat Street they usually require me to put my card in the Kiosk machine instore so the points can be transferred, maybe its the same with this? I don't think they have a twitter page where you can ask not sure if they have a facebook page...

yeah the stila liner was fabulous from last month! a super lovely shade! i like leighton denny polishes but i am not keen on the pink shade i got - too kiddy looking for my taste... if that makes sense!

I've been out shopping today, and popped into Boots to ask at the Estée Lauder counter about the Cyber eyeshadows. She checked in her book, and they are not due to be released until 26th December. She said it was possible that somewhere like Harrods might get them up to a month ahead as an exclusive.

She also told me she had had the opportunity to try these and they were really smooth and pigmented.


Edit: I just checked and Harrods do indeed have them, although they only seem to have the silver. They are £19 each

Are these going to be LE? I think I may pick up one once I've seen swatches...

 

[Anitacska]

Yeah, that's what I did, put it in the machine, but no extra points were added. There should be £39 worth but there's only £30. I have e-mailed them, but will phone up in a day or two if I don't hear back. I hate having to chase up stuff like this.

I don't go to Selfridges often as my nearest is in London, although I might brave it in December when my dh takes the children to his parents. But it's the weekend before Christmas so I'm not sure.

I am so weak, I ended up ordering the Chanel highlighter from Boots even though I said I wouldn't get it. Karla Sugar's review was so good on it, I just caved in. It also helped that there's a £5 off orders over £30 on Premium Beauty (code PREMIUM1). I was going to get it from Debenhams, but it's sold out on the website. Now I really won't buy anything else until after Christmas other than the Mac couture collection if I find anything that interests me. I don't do contouring, so Strada has no use for me.

 

[LMD84]

Guys the luck you sent me totally worked! Tomorrow I can tell you what has happened but for now I am so relieved and happy

Thats great your happy! Can't wait to find out what the mystery is!

 

[Anitacska]

Ooh, I'm intrigued!

Me too!

Oh, I just remembered. The Estée Lauder girl in Boots said they will only get a very small delivery of the Cyber shadows - maybe 2 of each colour!! Looks like unless I can get it online I'll have to miss out, since we will be (or should be, depending on when my Dad has his op and if he feels up to having us stay over) at my parents from Christmas Eve for maybe a week, and there's no going out to the sales. I'll have to take my netbook with me to order online from somewhere, and risk my parents getting funny with me about using it (it's called being antisocial, apparently).

 

[Anitacska]

Sounds like I'm going to have to go shopping on Boxing Day! I really want to get them.

i think you probably have to put your card into an advantage card kiosk to add the points on as everything you order online has to be added this way, we cant put them on at the till, it just doesnt work that way, so i imagine customer service can't either... it needs to enter a machine to be added to the chip... just go to a local big boots and pop it in,it will ask if you would like to add on ur online points.

hmm what's so special about this chanel highlighter? £5 off seems like a good deal

Ouch just 2! Might have to skip also! I'm definitely going boxing day shopping but its mostly going to be for perfumes and shoes! I need to start saving after MAC Gareth Pugh!


Is anyone going to IMATS next year? I'm sure I read last year that the tickets prices for the 2011 IMATS where £20, if so they've hiked them up by 50%!! I really want to go but I'm thinking £40 for a ticket is crazy especially considering I don't how much I'd be able to buy - but I really want to go

Transport is going to cost as well so the price of the ticket + getting there could be £60 :/

 

[Anitacska]

I know! I've done it 3 times now, but still no extra points. They need to add it to my account because when I missed out on ordering on the day of the points offer due to the crap website, they promised that if I order later, they will still honour the extra 900 points and they said last Monday (7th Nov) that the points have been added. So I put the card into the kiosk, nothing, tried again a week later, nothing. Which basically means they never added them to my account.

My Debenhams order has arrived, only placed it on Sunday, this is possibly the quickest they've been.

I went last year and my Saturday ticket was about £35. I'm going next year too but haven't bought my ticket yet. Can't wait, it was amazing last year! I'm travelling down from Liverpool to attend!

Oh than theres just a £5 bump which is ok! I really want to go to get some MUFE, Illamasqua, OCC, Graphtopian, Ever Pearl and check out Inglot for the first time! The doors open at 8.30 on Saturday, what time do you recommend going to beat the queues? TIA
