UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I don't have dry skin, maybe that's why it didn't do anything for me. I have blackheads and it definitely didn't help clear them either though. I sold it for about £70 in the end, so it wasn't too bad.

I asked in Debenhams about the EL spring collection, the MUA didn't really know when it's going to be released, she guessed end of February. I did see though that there's going to be another gelee powder highlighter/bronzer in the summer collection! (She kept flicking through her book, so I saw the pictures.)

I asked about it in our House of Fraser - they don't have the new blusher yet! Though the EL MUA wasn't actually there (I spoke to the Chanel lady), so I'm going to check again tomorrow. I did see the Chanel powder, and I do agree that it's VERY pretty. Almost tempted

It was definitely out in the Guildford store! I nearly bought it, but wanted to wait for Debenhams since my local one has an EL counter, so I can buy it any day with my vouchers/points.

Yes - I remember reading your post - I did say that I thought that it was out in some stores, but I suppose it wasn't actually the EL MUA. I want to see it, and might buy it there (as the MUA is normally really nice and gives generous samples), and want to see the palette and the kajal pencil to decide if it's worth ordering from Debenhams. I'm not 100% sure about the colours in the palette to be honest.

I actually got rid of about six individual eyeshadows today - I decided that I was really never going to use them again, as they are silver and/or lilac. I don't think that they suit me at all to be honest.

I asked at Boots yesterday, and the SA didn't know when the new Estee Lauder collection was coming in. That said, she wasn't the EL rep, as the EL rep had gone home already. She did, however, figure that it could be soon, as other brands' Spring collections are starting to arrive now.

I used some of my Boots points and got the Estee Lauder Shadow Paints in Steel and Sinister. If you don't use points to pay, they are currently giving £7.50 worth of points if you buy any 3 Estee Lauder products

I went back in today, and had a chat with Karen, the lovely EL MUA in House of Fraser. She said that they weren't in yet, but she has my name/mobile number and will set aside a palette, kajal pencil and blush. She will keep them until Wednesday next week then text, as they are going GWP then. That's good for me, as I do the banking at work on Wednesdays. Apparently one of the two purchases required should be skin care, but she will let me have the gift if I purchase two of the things that she's setting aside She's so nice, it's worth not getting the points - and no parcels arriving to cause suspicion at home

Thanks - I also asked in Boots, and the EL SA didn't know either. Though I think sometimes House of Fraser get the EL releases a little bit earlier than other places. The Boots in Epsom has quite a few beauty brands now, but I never see anyone buying anything from the 'premium' counters.

Is anyone planning on getting any of the new Urban Decay Oz palettes? I think I'll get Gilda, it's got gorgeous pinks and purples, not that keen on the colours in the other one. I beleieve Debenhams will have them online next week.

The Mac Year of the Snake collection is now up on the Selfridges website! http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Contemporary/MAC/Whats-New/Year-Of-The-Snake/

 

[rockin]

Oh yes indeedy, I plan to get one or both of them! It's Glinda, by the way - the good witch in Wizard of Oz. That one's my favourite, too. The Debenhams blog says 29th January

 

[Anitacska]

So it is. My younger daughter's name is similar to Gilda and that's why that stuck with me, but I think that's a Nars blush, isn't it?

I'm liking the packaging, and the design on the powders. Good job I already have both pigments and an earlier release of Shell Pearl, or I'd definitely be buying those. Think I may go for a couple of the eyeshadows, though, but would rather buy through Debenhams or HoF if they get them

I believe it is

 

[Anitacska]

I don't think they will. Someone said it was Selfridges, Harrods and Mac online exclusive. I'm thinking about getting an eyeshadow or two now, although the colours aren't that interesting, I do love the packaging though. I will wait for Mac to get it, at least it'll be free delivery. I ordered the Asia exclusive Guerlain blush from Selfridges yesterday and I'm not going to fork out another fiver for postage.

Thanks for letting me know, I will have to get mine from MAC then. I don't want to have to pay Selfridges' postage charges.

Cocktailcosmetics.co.uk have quite a lot in their sale at the moment, including some ArtDeco

 

[toobusytostitch]

I think so! Though I think I'm more of a bad witch

. I prefer the Theodora palette. I like the quote on the blog "Personally, I recommend getting both because some days you’re good and other days you can be very very bad…" .

Ooh, I've been looking at those Asia exclusives on Selfridges - I also like the Meteorites Campact UV Shield - just because it's Meteorites and it's SOOO pretty! The Year of the Snake MAC doesn't really excite me too much - luckily.

 

[Anitacska]

Me too, lol, but I don't like the colours in the Theodora palette. I love pinks and purples and not that keen on browns.

I'm praying they restock that blush! Selfridges gave me a £30 gift voucher to apologise for my last order and I'm lemming makeup!
