UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I've already told my boyfriend that in October on the day it will be realised we are taking day off beacuse the war will start and we need to fight together, he said I'm out of my mind but well ... he knows he doesn't have a choice

These packaging is killing me

I just hope the texture and quality won't be disappointing - like it happend with Cinderella collection - for me both powders were a disaster, cute packaging but awful quality

I was so disappointed with my Cinderella beauty powder too!! I got Mystery Princess - I didn't believe the reviews that it could be that bad, but it really is!

I know! Mac is about 15 miles from my place so I usually buy everything online so with every new collection it is always sink or swim :/ but when I regret buying something I try to quickly forget about money I had to spent on it I know!

I have no mac by me either, think it's a good job I don't though as I'd never be out of there!

I agree! I never use mine, really not good for the money

Haha that's awesome he's willing to do that for you. I have spent a crazy amount over the past two years on mac so I have finally cooled down on spending. The cinderella collection showed me I had a ridiculous obsession. Didn't buy the powders but so wanted to for the packaging. Got mostly everything else. I almost slipped up on wash and dry to buy items I didn't even want for the packaging. My boyfriend has told me we need a house more than a room full of makeup lol I know he's right

Maybe just one Guo Pei lipstick. I really hope you get something from the collection.

Thank you Sweetie :* My journey with Mac began 1,5 years ago and although I know sometimes it's just not worth time & money but... somehow I'm still hyped up hope I will cool down like you in the future, Im just struggling with myself About wash & dry... I bought studio sculp bronzing powder in delicates and I don't really like it :/ it doesn't sculp at all, I will try to play with it more so maybe I will change my mind but for now something's just not right. I also got hipness blush but haven't tried yet and tumble dry lipstick which I like - I didn't go crazy with this collection, I held back myself and I'm proud of it But I am afraid it will be different with MIB.. few lipsticks look really nice

I used my Mystery Princess twice - first time I applied it as a highlighter - and I was like 'where the hell is my highlight?' a put a little, then a bit more and nothing! then I added more again and it looked so horrible that I had to wash off all my make up I've done before :/ I gave it second chance but it ended with the same result. I was soo mad I bought it! and I bought it only because one youtuber was all over the moon with this powder saying that it's the most beautiful gentle highlight and beacuse I am sucker for highlighters I decided I need it :/ I put it deep in my drawer and try not to notice it

Do you remember if the highlighter was up earlier? It's not on the Debenhams website, I don't know if it's sold out already or hasn't been added. That's pretty much all I wanted from the collection.

 

[Anitacska]

It's up on HoF now and the highlighter is in stock. Ordered it together with the red lipstick. Will check out the blush tomorrow (I already have Hipness).

Thank you hun. Managed to order Steam Heat as I hesitated before!

 

[Anitacska]

Ugh, so fed up with Debenhams. Just checked my points and none of the bonus 500 points from the last 3 orders appear on my statement. This is not the first time the points haven't been added automatically and it's just ridiculous!

They owe me £15 FFS!

Same here

Bloody ridiculous. I've just messaged them, I expect some idiot contacting me to fob me off at first, that's what they normally do. Ugh.

I've given up with debenhams and their bonus points. I rang them up last month to say that a promo of 1000 points had not been added onto my account and the lady on the fone said according to her promotions calendar there was no recent promotion. This baffles me - i asked where she was checking because it was in emails, all over social media etc - but if it's not on the official promotions guide calendar they have then it doesn't go on automatically!? I've had this off them a few years back when I had to screen shot a Facebook beauty club page to prove to them that there was a promotion on! She also said that sometimes the points won't go on for three months, which at this point I was just done, so I just said ok that's quite a long time! Apparently they/then system can't add everyone's points on at the same time so it's done over a longer period of time - some absolute rubbish! It's obvious their system is not working and I decided that I wasn't going to spend anymore fone credit ringing them up chasing them about it :/

Well they won't fob me off, I will fight them for my £15 worth of points!

Hi ladies, any recommendations of affordable foundations for dry skin? I have dry patches on my face and foundations seem to just cling on them!

Hi ladies, any recommendations of affordable foundations for dry skin? I have dry patches on my face and foundations seem to just cling on them!

I think you will have that problem no matter what foundation you use, the pigment just gets caught in the flaky bits. I have the same issue with really dry flaky cheeks and also underneath and between my eyes and eyebrows. It depends on what kind of finish you are after but here are my favourites that i think look the best that you can get in chemists:

Bourjois healthy mix
Revlon colorstay (dry combo) - applied with a damp sponge
Rimmel match perfection

Sponging rather than buffing with brushes also works better for me with most foundations as it adds a bit of moisture to kind of flatten the dry bits. Buffing just tends to push the foundation under and around the flakey bits which makes them even more highlighted

My all time favourite is YSL touche eclat which i know isn't cheap by any means but i think it's worth it as it's just perfect for me in coverage and texture

My favourite concealer is the one by OCC which isn't too bad a price considering it lasts a good long while as it's so pigmented. It's nicely emollient.It is difficult to get of over here though which is a bit of a bummer.

If you have to powder any areas like i have to do with my nose and chin sometimes and also to set my concealer my absolute fave is the loreal BB powder it makes your skin look like an amazing piece of perfect velvet.

Using a flannel to wash your face with also helps. As much as I now hate Caroline Hirons she was right on that point.

Sorry for going on so much but i hope it helps!
