Has anybody ordered from Debenhams over the weekend? I'm trying to order a couple of things - spotted an Illamasqua palette that i don't think is still available anywhere else - and the website doesn't seem to be working? I get so far, then a message comes up saying 'Sorry you're having trouble browsing our website, please try again'. :( You don't think it's got some sort of useage measure and I've gone over it??

Hahaha, I don't think they would want to stop you spending more money! I haven't ordered anything from Debenhams in a while, maybe the website is down for some reason. My Sephora order has just arrived with the Guerlain Terra Soleia bronzer, Too Faced summer e/s palette and Urban Decay summer nail polish set. Really impressive, only ordered last Tuesday and they'd already tried to deliver on Friday but we were away.

which browser are you using? i get the same message whenever i try and shop on debenhams using chrome, unless i'm only buying one item, but i can shop without problems with any other browser. so if you're using chrome try IE or firefox, it might just be that :)

I went to Sainsburys this afternoon, and was very surprised to find they had Glamour magazine on the shelf, especially as there were none last week so I thought they'd sold out of them. I managed to get all 3 Benefit freebies!

I also went into Superdrug and got 2 of the new Barry M Chameleon nail paints, and a free Barry M 'retro' nail paint in Retro Pink. Right next to the Barry M they had a makeup clearance shelf, where I picked up an Urban Decay nail polish and an Eyeko neon pink 'Punk Polish for 99p each (I've never seen either brand in Superdrug before) and a couple of Limited Edition twin packs of MUA nail polish for 49p each - they had 3 different sets.

So I ordered from Debenhams Sat night and just for giggles figured I'd check my order status. It keeps saying "Supplier Order - In Progress" - has anyone ever seen this message before? Does it mean they're ordering it from MAC and then sending it to me? I figure at this rate I definitely won't get it until the end of the week.

Also. Went into TK Maxx today. I picked up 6 Essie nail polishes for £19.98 (they were in packs of 3 for £9.99). Worked out at £3.33 per polish, bargain! :D

As for Sephora - is it the France site you use Anitacska?

Congrats on finishing your second year, Carriee!!
There is also a Bobbi Brown counter in Stansted, and I picked this airport out for my flight back home on purpose, so I can pick up some BB and Mac perm items :)

PeachTwist, I have 239 brushes, and I often feel like one more, as I use them so much! It's one of my fave Mac brushes, because of its versatility.
And I'm really sorry to hear about your brother. Things like this make me angry and upset too. My younger brother got harrassed and beaten up by some gang of Turkish youths, who were trying to scare him and extort money from him. I was so afraid for him and that they would break into my mum's house and steal things, or, worse, do something to my mum or younger brother! There's hoping that those thugs will get caught and punished, or their superbad karma will get them back!

I haven't even received it yet and know I definitely want more. I'll build it up slowly over time. I worry about staining the white though. :(

Thank you, I appreciate it and I am so sorry about what happened to your brother - that's horrible. I understand what you mean about being afraid for him though, I entirely dislike the idea of him going anywhere now. I doubt police will catch them unfortunately, but karma should do something I hope. :)

I saw the Barry M retro polishes today, they're very pretty.


I ordered from the French Sephora, they deliver worldwide. I only order when I have a 20% off code (they do them every 3 months or so) and I always order 3-4 things to justify the pricey shipping (E15.90). Usually the shipping is less than the discount, but of course the prices are in Euro, so it can be a bit mroe expensive. I tend to get things not available here or Sephora exclusives. The good thing about it is that it's within the EU, so no customs duty to worry about. They deliver very fast too, it only took 3 days this time, and last time was similar.
Thank you - I sometimes see lovely Sephora items and get frustrated that I can't order - presumably if I sign up to the site I'll get the 20% off codes? Will have to go and investigate :) :)

Yes, you sign up (create an account) and they'll send you e-mails with codes. I think they have a 20% off offer every 3 months or so. So far I've been very happy with the service and shipping. It's not cheap, but like you, I sometimes really want the Sephora exclusives, etc. :) The joys of the internet and all. :)

I'm really upset, our beautiful cat has been missing all day. :( It's not like him at all, he normally comes back 2-3 times during the day to eat, I last saw him around 10 am and there's still no sign of him. :( I'm going to ask the neighbours to check their garages/sheds once my husband is back from work, hopefully he's just got locked in somewhere. There's also a warehouse next door to us and I saw a door was open during the day, wonder if he might have gone in there and got locked in. Nobody's there now, but I'll phone up this morning. I'm really sad, feel like crying, he's such a gorgeous and lovely cat.

Oh I hope he turns up. When I was a teenager my cat went missing - he was eventually found locked up in the local school - he'd survived a whole half-term somehow. He came back very thin. I hope that your cat has just got locked in somewhere.

Oh what a palaver! Turns out our cat had got into the warehouse next door and couldn't find his way out, found him this morning in there all scared and dirty. Took me ages to get him out from there with treats. He seems okay, he's already gone outside for his explores. Reall hope he doesn't go missing again!

Was gonna go to Kingston today to check out the Bentalls sale, but can't be bothered now, feeling really tired after all the worrying.

Glad you found him safe and sound :)




Just saw this on Twitter - Sleek are bringing out a special limited edition Olympic collection. I'm not sure when it launches, though, or what the colours are

Edit: Pictures of the collection, which will be in Superdrug 4th July http://www.perfectly-polished-nails.com/2012/06/sleek-make-up-olympic-inspired-limited.html The palette seems to be more expensive than normal
