UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Lou, congrats on your impressive weight loss! I have managed to lose the few pounds I gained over Christmas, but I just don't feel like dieting. I do exercise, try to run 3 times a week (I do 3 miles at a time), but of course not so much these last two weeks due to the weather, plus I have a cold now as well. It's not enough to lose weight though without dieting. Eh, I've had 3 children, I don't care, lol.

It's snowing here. And there's no school tomorrow due to inset day, so the children can have lots of fun in the snow.

Thank you! You have all been so sweet and supportive And that's great you lost those pounds you put on And you don't need to diet if you are happy. in fact i think all you ladies look fabulous so you really don't need to worry anyway! it's awesome that you go running too - i swear i just can't do it - i get bored and my dodgy knee ends up hurting like crazy if i do running!

 

[Anitacska]

Oh yes, that Golden Glimmer Powder will be mine!

I've just seen on another thread that we're also getting Chen Man in March as well as Vera, Shop Mac Cook Mac, Tour de Fabulous and Viva Glam. Oh dear... I actually really like the Viva Glam lipstick, but need to check it out in person first.

Yikes! So many collections at once! I do wish they didn't put out so many collections. I'll have to start working on my lists and trying to cut them down.

I bought more makeup today, too. I was in Sainsburys and they had a tub with reduced makeup in - lipglosses, lipsticks and eyeshadows, mostly Rimmel. Each item £1.50! I held back and only bought 2 items - Rimmel Colour Mousse in 'Snow Queen' and 'Sassy' (to replace the Sassy I have that dried out).

Oh, and this morning in the post I got the Angel Flame quad. I can't believe I only paid £13.99 including postage for it.

The kids were happy, too. They got a Playstation each (the original grey brick shaped one) for just £2.99 each in Gamestation, as they are selling them off (pre-owned, obviously, but complete with all cables and a controller). My son collects consoles, and managed to get a different model number one than the one he already had, and of course my daughter had to have her own. At that price, though, I didn't mind.

Wow can't believe they are selling Playstation 1 for just 2.99!! That's crazy!

I only want a lipstick and lipglass from Chan Men thankfully (mostly cause of the packaging!) so that should be ok but I might have to completely skip Tour De Fabulous as I want way too much from MAC Shop, MAC Cook

 

[rockin]

Depending on swatches, there's maybe one lipstick I'd like from Chen Man. Trouble is, I want a lot from Shop MAC Cook MAC, and a few things from Vera too.

thank sweetie! i understand how you must feel. in my mind i have 'wrecked myself' because i used to be a nice weight and size 14 and over a few years i just let myself go and ended up putting on about 4-5 stones.... it's really terrible and i know how you feel having clothing that doesn't fit anymore - it makes me so sad looking at my 'pretty thin clothing' knowing i can't wear them. however at least you have a medical reason for gaining weight - i just got lazy and depressed and ate my feelings really.
and as far as exercise goes i don't do too much at the moment to be honest because work tires me out enough! i am on my feet for about 10 hours a day at the moment however on my days off i do a work out dvd. if you have bad joints maybe swimming could be something you'd like? easy on the joints but still a good form of exercise. and trust me if i can loose weight then anybody can because quite frankly i have no self control!

That's exactly what I've done - wrecked myself! I used to take such care of myself, always had my hair done, etc...but in the past year I've just lost my way. It's been depression for me too, as well as a lack of exercise. It just makes you feel so unhealthy! I'm unfortunately one of those people who gets given loads of suggestions and I have a reason as to why I can't do any of them lol. But they aren't excuses! But people get fed up of me =( Like the swimming thing. I used to LOVE swimming but since my op when I was 14, my left ankle doesn't move. As minor as it sounds, it means I can't kick (or walk for that matter!) properly and can't swim anymore! ARGH!

Sorry, I just keep going on. It's all the frustration! Ignore me!

As for your weightloss, you've honestly done so well, you should be very proud =) Hopefully you'll be back in your 'thin' clothes in no time! I bet you have more energy too!

I'm so lost with all the collections that we're due next. Am I right in thinking they are:

Vera
Shop Cook
Tour de Fab (is this the same as Too Fab?)
Chen Man
Viva Glam

Thankfully I think I can skip most - I'm trying to be strict and a lot of what I really want will hopefully be sticking around for a while.

Stila are opening their UK online store soon. Sign up for their mailing list here http://signup.stila.co.uk

I hope they stock a much wider range than Boots do - I think their colour range is pretty poor

Lou, congrats on the weightloss! My weight has been driving me absolutely crazy. I was always slim and was very happy about it but in the past year, new medications in combo with my insulin have resulted in me gaining over 3 stone! I'm now so overweight, none of my old clothes fit and I feel so unhealthy. Really stuck because I don't know what to do. Exercise isn't as much of an option as I'd like because I have stupid joints! Sorry, I'm going on I know. It's just so frustrating. I'm thinking of going to the GP and asking for help...

yes congrats lou, what's your secret? what have you been doing? i need to lose some weight so any advice would be great!

 

[nazia]

Lol, prepare yourselves ladies...I have a mammoth task ahead!



Nuts, right? All because of my bloody dark undereye circles!

 

[Anitacska]

Wow! I think concealers are the one product I don't have loads of, maybe 3 or 4.

Wow I only have about 4-5!

Wow I only have about 4-5!

My fave VG was Cyndi. Bought a BU of the lippie and not sure if I have a BU gloss. I hope so though!
I'm looking forward to the new VG Nicki although I'm worried it'll give me that dreaded shadow around my lips and make me look rather, erm...hairy!

Lol, like I said to Anita, you're normal! My stash is not. But at least I can really compare them now, see which work!

 

[anita22]

^Nazia that is truly impressive!!!

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these!

 

[rockin]

Wow, Nazia, you weren't exaggerating when you said you had a lot of concealers!

I'm a happy girl this morning. I just got Party Parrot in the post, bought from a lovely seller here on Specktra

Yay hope you like it! Still can't believe how fast those lippies sold out! Guess we are going to experience the same thing with MAC Shop, MAC Cook collection!

 

[Anitacska]

Hahaha, well maybe my concealer stash is normal, but the rest of my make up collection is truly out of control!

My last Debenhams order has arrived, this time it only took 3 days, so I'm happy. Now I have all the new MES plus I got a 217 brush as well as the 286 from Naturally. I love the look of the new MES, so pretty. Have you seen the picture posted on the Early News thread? Twirly whirly MSFs and blushes are coming!

Haha, don't worry, I know the feeling!

Debenhams are so hit and miss with their deliveries. I'd love to see swatches of the MES! I really want Smutty Green, hope they still have it when I have the money for it.

I can't keep up with those threads so I don't bother but that sounds interesting!

 

[Anitacska]

I will definitely swatch the new MES, but with husband off work (well, between jobs to be honest) and children at home for half term it's proving nearly impossible. I was gonna do some swatching while my children were having swimming lessons this morning, but my little boy was sick last night, so he didn't go and he needs constant entertaining.

 

[Alisha1]

Thanks I definitely need to remember check it out! I haven't bought anything from No7 in a while...!
