Ouch, I see Elude is £44 and those teeny tiny pigments are £24.50 each!

All up on MAC site, with the exception of the GP Metal X shadows, of course

Metal X collection is also up

goodness those prices are sky high - i knew they would be more but i was expecting about £20 per pigment.... not £25! the lipstick i wanted is also really expensive so not sure if i should get it. Elude I was hoping would be about £30 because i certainly can't afford £44.... esp with my wages mess up :(

The polishes are £19! I'm definitely skipping now although I might go to the MAC store today just to check out the blue polish in person...!

The prices for the Gareth Pugh collection are just ridiculous, this is Mac, not Chanel! £19.00 for a lipglass? I don't think so. I'm officially skipping the whole collection.

It's not that I can't afford a £19 lipgloss, I buy plenty high end ones for that price and more, but in the end it's just another Mac lipgloss, and I couldn't care less about the packaging.

I'm skipping the collection also, I went to see it face to face and although the blue polish is very pretty I just can't believe how silly the price is, I mean Chanel/Dior prices are cheaper! Selfridges never have a few things from the collection including the purple gloss, silver pigment and both metal X shadows, they also never had the metal x collection out.

So I bought Chanel Madarin RAL and Pheonix RAL from the Boots event; was supposed to go crazy but I'm hoping they have one more event so I can split my hauls! I was supposed to use my points to buy Dior Cinderella but they were out of stock so I bought it from Debenhams with my points instead. Love everything I purchased very pretty!

I'm not, because I've heard that they crease. Plus I really don't need any cream shadows, I got so many new paint pots, haven't even used half of them yet. And the Gareth Pugh prices are just laughable...

I don't think I will get getting any metal x shadows either as I have oily lids! The size of the pigments is just crazy! I saw the collection today and I was literally like SERIOUSLY! Lol but what crazier is the size of the blush (the name escapes me) it's super teeny tiny!

I went to our Boots event today, and the No7 lady announced over the speaker that this was their last Christmas points event of the year, sorry.

Did you see Elude at all? What did you think of it?

After checking out the price of Chanel's Christmas highlighting powder, it actually made Elude look reasonable in comparison, especially since the Chanel one is shimmery and I could make more use of Elude. Nothing else from GP appeals to me at all, and I'm giving Metal X a miss too - I just don't think I need them

It may have been the last Christmas event (£12 of points for every £50 spent instore or £75 spent online) of the year at Boots, but there is some good news - for this weekend, the £10 of points offer is back. I just got an email to that effect

I just got the email also! I was hoping it wouldn't be so soon! I may have to skip...I wanted to buy Santal RAL and maybe Dragon

Thanks for the heads up! I went shopping today (couldn't go yesterday) and picked up a few things in Boots, so got £10 worth of points.

I also went to HoF, but didn't get anything, Mac didn't have any new collections out at all. Wanted to pick up Dior Cinderella l/s with my Debenhams points, but it was sold out, so didn't get anything there either.

However, TK Maxx had loads of OPI nail polish sets, 3 full size nail polishes for £12.99, so picked up 2 sets. One has Servin' Up Sparkle, a really glittery polish with different sized glitter, Be A Dahlia Won't You (shimmery pink) and Clubbing Til Sunrise (slightly shimmery coral/orange), and the other has Sit Under The Apple Tree (apple green), Tease-y Does It (gorgeous dark purple with pink and gold shimmer) and Mediterranean Moonlight (pinky coral). They also had the green one from the Shrek collection and some other orange and pink, I think that was all. If anyone's interested, check out your TK Maxx asap!

Thanks for telling us about the OPI at TK Maxx, Anita. I'll have to see if I can drag the kids over the other side of town to have a look.

I noticed that Boots and Superdrug have different Exclusive Limited Edition Barry M nail polishes at the moment - Superdrug have the lovely Lilac Foil, and Boots have a silver glitter polish. Both bear the number 142 for some reason
