UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Well it starts tomorrow, so you could always order, nothing will arrive before the new year anyway. Actually, there's usually a lot of 50% off make up in the sales, even Guerlain, I'm hoping to pick up another voyage powder for half the price. I didn't manage last year, but hopefully I can this year. Not from Debenhams as none of their nearest stores have Guerlain counters, but HoF and Bentalls do.

I'll be off to Kingston or Guildford on the 27th, or maybe even Boxing Day, we'll see.

I won't be able to take advantage of the sale, unfortunately, as I will be off to my parents' on Christmas Eve and will be there for up to a week. I doubt any of the makeup will be 50% off anyway. I don't even get to go out to the local post-Christmas sales, as my parents never do. I'd get told off for spending money

I just have my parents' presents to wrap (they told me not to get them anything, but I wouldn't feel right doing that) and all our packing done before Monday, as well as getting this place cleaned

I'm as good as ready now. Took my two youngest into Epsom on traditional buying for the rest of the family (I pay, even for my own, lol! - got myself a couple of Body Shop perfume oils in Cranberry, Ginger). On passing Superdrug I just wandered in - and got the last Sparkle 2 Sleek palette - it's lovely, better than the first Sparkle in my humble opinion, and the one that I've tried so far works so well - not too much dropout (even on me), and lovely colour

Merry Christmas everyone! I just scored lucky Christmas present for me, was grabbing last bits for my family and walked past the guerlain counter, picked up the voyage powder, dragon meteorites and emilio Pucci brush all 50%, chuffed right now, been after a voyage powder forever, just refuse to pay £110!

 

[Anitacska]

Wow! Guerlain is on sale already? I'm planning on going to the counter in Kingston (there's 2 actually) on the 27th, hoping to buy a back up for my Voyage Powder. I "only" paid around £85 initially anyway, but £55 would be better.

If I don't get it in Kingston this week, I'm planning on going to London next week, maybe I can score one there.

Thank you Anitacska! I just placed a order of Guerlain Palettes!
The limited eye and lip palette is half price: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123382016199_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Beauty
Two colors of 4 shade eyeshadow are half price: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123382006799_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Beauty

 

[Anitacska]

So funny, I've received all these e-mails about sales, reductions, offers, and then there's Mac saying buy now before they're gone, no discount whatsoever. Even Guerlain is 50% off ffs!

Do you have this?

http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123382016199_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Sale~Beauty~Make+up

Is it worth the £27?

Also - no surprise about MAC. They never have sales. Tis why now I try to buy from Debenhams 10% off when they have it unless it's MAC exclusive.

EDIT: Typical, that palette is now sold out.

I really hope we get some good collections soon, I have a MAC gift card burning a hole in my pocket! Any ideas on what's coming soon anyone?

 

[Anitacska]

Most definitely! You may be able to find it at the counters, or if you want, I can pick one up for you tomorrow as I'm going to Kingston and there are 2 Guerlain counters there.

Pressed pigments, Apres Chic, Strenght? Not too sure, I couldn't get much sense out of Mac last time I asked.

I'm quite tempted to ask you to! Do the eye shadows not get into the lipstick though? What's the quality like? It'd be my first Guerlain purchase.

 

[Anitacska]

I did a review on my blog, do a search and you'll find it. The powder doesn't get into the lipstick at all. If you want it, let me know by 10 am tomorrow morning and I'll pick one up (if I can). You can pay me later by Paypal. Obviously there'll be the postage cost too (around £3.50 I guess).

Merry Christmas, everyone!
I hope everyone got some wonderful presents! I had the most amazing present this Christmas: my little niece!!!

Anita, can I ask you to CP me Liu-Ling lipstick and another Turandot palette, if you see them at Debenhams tomorrow? Wish I'd checked out the sale earlier, as now everything I wanted is gone
