UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

If you don't get charged vat and import fees at the time of purchase (this is usually the case) then when the parcel arrived in the uk you'll have to pay 20% vat on the cost of the order plus usually a handling fee by the postal company (Royal Mail, dhl etc) which is around £12.

I always get charged when my MUG stuff gets to the UK as they put the full worth of the package on the customs form on the front. Mine has always come via Royal Mail as I just choose the USPS first class option (the cheapest one) which has an £8 fee on top of whatever customs fees i get landed with. I do like their products a lot though so i just live with it

I use a US postbox for forwarding mail from the US that's in a US tax free state, so you don't get charged tax and then when you have it sent to the UK you declare the value yourself so you don't get charged any extra fees either. Just pay the shipping from the US. If you're interested, pm me and I can refer you, and we both get $10 off the first shipping.

Has anyone ever ordered from Makeup Geek? I was interested in making an order but im not sure how much VAT is and how you pay it.

I got my Superdrug order today. The Makeup Revolution liquid blushes are indeed very similar to the Daniel Sandler ones.

I also got the Sleek i-Divine Del Mar Vol II palette, Pout Paint in Lol-Lip-Pop, Max FactorCreme Puff Blush in 05 Lovely Pink (which is gorgeous) and L'Oreal Color Riche eyeshadows in Soleil Levant and Opalescent. The Opalescent is particularly lovely, and reminds me of the pale pink pearlescent MAC EDES. They sent me the Makeup Revolution All About Bronze palette instead of the All About Pink palette, though, so I've got to sort that out.

I popped into HoF and grabbed the last one of their Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Illuminating Powder Gelée. Well I think it was the last one - the Estée Lauder lady was at her break and the lady that helped me could only find the one. She said they always sell out very quickly.







The EDES that L'Oreal Color Riche Opalescent eyeshadow reminds me of is Opalesse, which isn't one of those being brought back, so this might be a good, cheaper alternative. It also reminds me very much of Pink Opal pigment.

If anyone is interested in the Makeup revolution liquid lipsticks: I ordered Keep crying for you, Velvet depravity and Keep lying for you from Superdrug, as they are still "coming soon" in my local store.  Surprisingly the first two arrived in a different packaging than the last one. The tubes are absolutely identical and they are all called "Salvation velvet lacquer". The formula is completely different. I hated the first two - I first applied KCFY over MAC Prep+prime - big mistake - patchy and uneven, it started crumbling and it felt very sticky.  Then I tried VD (the colour is gorgeous) without primer - the application was perfect but again it was sticky and it crumbled like crazy - I had to take out little lipstick crumbles from my mouth literally every 30 seconds  KLFY is amazing! It applies easily, dries fast, no crumbles, no stickiness, no movement, I could press my lips together 1 minute after I applied it. I wore each of them for about 30 min. I'd buy more, if I can choose the packaging. 

Thats a shame I wanted VD

I got some Sugarpill loose eyeshadows/pigments the other day, from Love Makeup. The first two were the older type, and the rest are new colours.

Top row: Decora, Starling, Charmy, Clickbait, Countess
Bottom row: Holy Ghost, Hug Life, Mint Soda, Strangeling

I hope they change the formula, one of them was lovely! The shade is really unique and amazing! http://www.superdrug.com/search?text=depravity I noticed there are 2 different Depravity liquid lipsticks, maybe I ordered the wrong one?

Oh! Which 1 did u try, intense lip lacquer or lip lacquer?

The lip lacquer. It's weird, as I mentioned above, the tubes are absolutely identical (including the names), the difference is in the cardboard packaging.

The counter in my local Boots is still there. Maybe they stopped selling them online?

Can't find it online anymore, and my local branches have never sold it in store.

I just checked a few websites - they are gone from Asos and feelunique too, there are only a few products left on lookfantastic. Beautybay and Debenhams have the biggest variety atm.

 

[rockin]

I knew this would happen- the day after the Debenhams discount ends, the new Urban Decay collection is suddenly available, but most colours are now showing low stock. I managed to order the eyeshadows, but still need to think about the rest.



They are now doing 500 points on a £40 spend, with extra points available on Lancome, Givenchy, Elizabeth Arden and Bare Minerals.

Received a card in the post - HoF will have 10% off beauty on Thursday and Friday this week, and I think it's saying from 5pm online Wednesday.
