Thanks ladies - I couldn't think of the name over here. I googled it and found this 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol on a website for £2.99 for 500ml. I'll just get that, should do the trick. Now to find the pans! Haha.

I'm back from shopping. In the end only picked up Riviera Life l/g and Crew highlighting powder. I wasn't gonna get the powder, but I do like it a lot and the stripes are properly raised, so even if they're just on top, that's gonna last me a long time. 
My package however did not arrive today, boo to Debenhams. In fact none of the 3 I'm expecting has arrived. Boo to the Royal Mail too.

Hey ladies!
I went shopping (oops)
Went into TJMaxx for the first time - wasn't thrilled but found a few things.
Picked up a Tigi Bed Head Superstar 750ml shampoo for £9.99 - can't really complain for that size I don't think.
Found a Colour Club set in Alter Ego, 7 colours. I'm happy with that. They're nice pastel shades which I don't have any of and it allows me to try the brand. Was £7.99 so I'm not complaining at all.
Found 2 Elizabeth Arden quads - I've never tried EA's make-up, so I was curious. £6.99 each so can't complain. They're alright - Blue Breeze and Golden Lilac. Also found a Duo in 03 Autumn Leaves for £5.99. Was all the make-up they really had, I suspect if anything bigger/better had been in, it had already been found lol.
Picked up another shampoo, 1L bottle of Argan Oil Shampoo in Papaya Mist.. figured I'd give that a shot as well for £5.99 and that's it. I'm happy with what I got, but not over the moon if that makes sense.
Went to Debenhams and picked up a YSL lipstick (my first!) with my £10 points so only paid £13.50. Got the Rouge Volupte in 2 Sensual Silk. LOVE this.
When I was in Debenhams a lady sprayed me with a D&G perfume.. some new one for summer - I think I may have to get it as it's just lovely. Can't stop sniffing my wrist, lol.

I went to TKMaxx today too, but didn't buy anything for a change, lol.
I did get a few more nail polishes in Topshop (I can't stop buying nail polishes, check out my newest blogpost for all the polishes I've bought lately!) and also in Sainsbury's (Charlotte at Lipglossiping wrote about these Eye Candy polishes in Sainsbury's). I tested the new Nars duo (the blue and purple one) and it has a very poor colour pay off, just like Temptalia said. So I think it's a skip for me. The colours are pretty, but they barely show up. It was quite hilarious actully, the SA showed me how marvellous the eyeshadow pencil is and how you can use it as a base to make the colours pop, and she literally piled on the eyeshadows and they still barely showed up.
Oh and I've finally managed to pick up the Models Own Ibiza Mix polish (and another one to make use of the 2 for £8 offer)!

When I popped into Sainsburys on my way home from town yesterday (to get some sweeties) I had a look to see if they had the nail polishes, but they still only had the Max Factor and Maybelline stands as usual and nothing else. It's signposted as a Superstore, so you would think they would have more than just this.

Nor mine. I bet it does turn up tomorrow, as I'm out all day and my husband will definitely take delivery! Tuesday would actually be better for me

If any of you pass through an M&S at the weekend have a peek at the make up. They have a sale on and a lot of it is marked down, I bought a wannabe Flamingo lipstick there today.
Hope they show up!
Oh I've been there! Aways try to intercept packages before my parents catch wind of them.Nor mine. I bet it does turn up tomorrow, as I'm out all day and my husband will definitely take delivery! Tuesday would actually be better for me
I stopped through Heathrow T5 yesterday, got to play with the Reel Sexy and Hey Sailor collections. Nothing particularly grabbed my attention though. Bobbi Brown has new cream eyeshadows out with the Coffee to Cocktails and Miami collections, so I ended up getting a few of those instead. I am in LOVE with the Velvet Plum cream shadow (this is not new but was only part of a LE set before). It's a bronzey-mauvey shimmer, sort of like Satin Taupe in a cream version.
The week after next I visit London for a few days as I have some meetings in the city centre (which is awesome as it means I might get to go to Selfridges!)

My Debenhams order arrived with the postie this morning! I got the 2 Hey Sailor! blushes, and they also gave me 2 fragrance samples - Armani Code Luna and Diesel Only The Brave Tattoo
Also in the post were Her Blooming Cheek and X-Rocks, which I bought on ebay. I had previously been scared of HBC, after seeing the super bright pics on blogs, but it actually blends out very nicely on the back of my hand.

I got 3 of the new Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadows myself, including Velvet Plum (and have you seen Smoky Topaz? it's gorgeous!). Yay for being able to go to Selfridges, I'm going to London tomorrow and have plans to go to Westfield, Selfridges, and Debenhams to spend my points and buy one of the Guerlain Shine Automatique lipsticks. I swatched them all yesterday and they're so pretty!
After looking at the Hey Sailor thread I've gone back and ordered Feeling Fresh and Barefoot e/s. I swatched FF yesterday and liked it a lot, then thought I won't get it, but once saw Mac-Guy's swatched I decided to order them anyway. So much for not wanting much from this collection, lol.

I just had a look on the Selfridges site to see what 'long gone' MAC they still had. They have Viva Glam Cyndi lipgloss, but you can't add it to bag because you need to 'select colour' first, and there is nowhere to select it?
They also have 2 of the Tendertones, Surf Baby eyeshadows, lipglosses, eye pencils, Careblends and suntints. Surprisingly, they also have all 3 Shop MAC Cremeblend blushes!

I picked up a Greasepaint Stick in Charred Mauve (from Art Supplies 2010!) from the CCO in Cheshire Oaks yesterday, it was only £9 and I've picked it up but left it every time I visited the shop! Finally bought it. The swatch on my hand took a lot of hot water, soap and scrubbing to remove so I'm pleased! They also had some of the DSquared GPS but the lid had been left off the testers and they were all dried out - quite off putting!

I need to take a trip to a CCO sometime this spring/summer, shame there isn't one in London. The nearest is an hour's drive from me.

Yep! My MAC package is at the local depot, so close but no cigar. I'll probably get my Debenhams one on Tuesday. :sigh: The closest CCO to me is Bicester, I want to drag my boyfriend there some time soon.I need to take a trip to a CCO sometime this spring/summer, shame there isn't one in London.
