Ooh, check out these gorgeous eyeshadow palettes from 17! http://www.lipglossiping.com/2012/02/boots-17-spring-fling-eyeshadow-palettes-in-spring-brights-and-hazy-days/#comment-48745 I'll definitely check them out next time I'm in Boots. The colours are really pretty as well as the actual design.

Hi!

I've been lurking for ages and just got the courage to post! Have to say thank you for all the enabling for the Guerlain cruel gardenia meteorites - ummed and ahhed and finally went to get it on Friday in debenhams. I was able to use the daily mail voucher for 10% off and then £30 on my beauty card so it cost me £7! I love it plus I got the last one so very glad I didn't wait any more! No more make up til march now - got to save for the s3c3 collection!

 

[Anitacska]

Great that you've decided to join us!

I'm glad to hear we've enabled you to get the Guerlain Cruel Gardenia highlighter, it is just so gorgeous! And I love it when it only costs a few pounds to buy something this pretty.

Benefit UK have just tweeted the following:


"WE DO NOT trade on eBay. Be very careful BeneBabes as someone has returned a mascara to us that contains petrol."

This is why I don't buy makeup from ebay!

I've just seen someone comment on a Youtube video that the Revlon Lip Butters will be in the UK in March. I hope that's true, as I'd like to give a couple of these a try

Result! Paypal has refunded me the £5.20 that the KIKO water shadow cost AND I don't even have to return it!

All I heard from KIKO was to say they didn't recieve the picture I sent them, so I resent it to them and asked them to confirm that they had received it (in a separate e-mail) and they never responded to that either. So it's safe to say I will not be ordering from them again and most probably won't be buying from them full stop. I know that the London stores have nothing to do with the bad Italian customer service, but in the end it's the same company and they don;t deserve any of my money.

I went to Tesco today and finally managed to pick up the other 3 shades of the Barbara Daly swirly eyeshadows. Hubby has just taken the children to see the Muppets movie, so I have a little bit of quiet time, I will take photos and swatch them in a mo.

Is it just Shop Cook that's going to be at Selfridges tomorrow?

I'm guessing so since the promo page doesn't mention anything else but I'm so hoping for Vera too. I feel like a kid on long car journey waiting for selfridges to launch....'are we nearly there yet?!' lol Do they usually launch at midnight or mornings? I can't for the life of me remember what time WW launched.

well last year some of the ww stuff (lip stuff i think) popped up first the day before or something. the rest arrived the release date morning. i shall be checking the site from about 7am though! i want the tendertones!!!

 

[MrsB]

well i certainly won't be ordering from them after all the troubles you had with them! not good service at all!!

Me too Lou! I'm desperate to try them and I already feel like we have been waiting ages for this collection. I've started stalking already! I don't think it will go up any earlier though and selfridges postage is always a killer for anything other than standard delivery but I'd pay anything to get my hands on my goodies faster. This, and Naturally are the first collections in months where I have been able to buy whatever I please so I think I've gone a bit haul crazy, lol!

 

[Anitacska]

I'm not ordering from Selfridges. I want free delivery and beauty points. Or at least free delivery. I will be going to London - hopefully - on the 26th, so will check out the collection, but right now I think I only want 2 or 3 lipsticks from Shop Mac Cook Mac. I want loads from Vera, but if they don't have them in Selfridges then I'll just wait for Debenhams, not that big a deal.

Do we know if Chen Man will be online only? I have a feeling it will be. I really don't know if I should get the MES, they look like some I already have (Odd Couple, PInk Split and Sea & Sky), so don't really need them, but if they are different, then I do want them. Argh! I wish we had some comparison swatches.

I read somewhere it will be online only and than I read somewhere else that it will be at counters so I guess where in the dark for now, I'll try my best to remember to ask a MA tomorrow and report back I don't like online-only launches, it doesn't give everyone an equal shot at hauling what they want!

Thanks for the welcome!

I am going to try very hard to ignore the selfridges launch tomorrow - I can wait two weeks (I hope!) Just can't bring myself to pay for delivery!

Seeing as I can't sleep I thought I'd browse the internet..

thank you i just ordered a stack of tendertones as well as two of the lipsticks that i wanted. i shall buy the rest from debenhams or mac when they are released next month. i just wanted to grab what i was wanting the most first!

 

[rockin]

I just ordered the lipsticks I wanted (will order the rest when it comes to MAC or preferably HoF for my points). Did anyone else notice they've put "Watch Me Shimmer"?

 

[Anitacska]

I can't believe the quads are £36! The Guerlain quads are £37 and you get way more product, plus beautiful packaging, and it is Guerlain - a luxury brand! I think Mac's taking the piss to be honest. I'll check out the lipsticks as and when I can, but that's all for me from Shop Mac Cook Mac.

 

[rockin]

They're £35, not £36, but even so, it's quite a jump in price! I'm having second thoughts now as to whether or not to get Shop Drop later
