Just been to Kingston and wanted to share a few things:

Walked past the Mac counter and to my surprise the only MES left in SP were Blue Sheen and Dark Indulgence, although I didn't ask, but they didn't have any other testers, so I'm pretty sure the others have all gone. :O Also Warmth of Coral wasn't there either.

My Boots doesn't have Stila, it now has a Philosophy stand instead of R&M. :(

I checked out the new mini Gosh polishes and bought a hot pink and a yellow one, they are £2.99 each and the colours are lovely. I also got a very pretty pinky red from Accessorize (Startlet) and the new blue OPI shatter polish.

(Oh and I've just picked up my new China Glaze crackle polishes that I've ordered from eBay, I got the metallic light blue, pink and purple. More

)

I've ordered 3 Unsurpassables from Debenhams (yes, 3, call me crazy!) because mine really doesn't have much green or purple and now I can't decide which ones to keep. I've posted pictures of them in the SP thread if you'd like to advise me, please do!

Can't remember what else I wanted.

well Philosophy is brilliant!! I swear by the purity cleanser and use it pretty much every day! And the shower gels are amazing and smell sooooo good!

also in case you guys are interested you can see my latest specktra video on shadow bases - Everything you need to know about eyeshadow bases - it is a bit long but hopefully helpful. I don;t just mention mac either!

MAC Sized to Go is online now, yay! But I don't get paid until Thursday. I could buy them now but I would be breaking my budget and I've done so well not to so far! Ah the temptation...

Also, for any Smashbox fans - the Softbox eye palette just turned up on QVC over the weekend. If I didn't have the UD Naked palette already I think I would be tempted. 9 eyeshadows plus 2 cream liners and a mini eye primer. It's quite a good deal!

Hey everyone, long time no see! Just popped in to add that Stila is also on asos!

Has anyone seen a Dainty Doll stand in their Boots? They're supposed to be popping up in select stores too and I'd love to take a look!

Is it just me or does anyone else find it strange that mac are listing the international release dates for upcoming collections as a 1-2 months after the American launch date? As far as I remember we got all launches the same day as the US except for the collections directly after christmas (I presume because of shipping delays during the holiday season) and one collection in the summer is launched internationally a couple of weeks prior to America- this year it was surf baby and last year it was prolong wear foundation and lipstick. Are they changing the way they do things now or just getting the dates wrong? (they generally don't give exact dates for Europe and we just end up getting them on the same day....)

As far as I was aware we were always slightly behind the US for collection releases with the exception of the one collection in the summer that we normally get before them?

IMO the launch dates that websites like Temptalia or Makeup and Beauty Blog state on the websites for Europe are for the most part wrong. We sometimes get collections on the same day as the US but more often than not we get it on the 1st Thursday of the month :)

I saw Dainty Doll in my Boots yesterday - half the R&M stand has gone to Stila, half to Dainty Doll. Didn't look at them, but I know that it's there.

Can we swap? I want a Stila stand in mine, you can have Philosophy instead. Well, actually it's not even my local Boots, my local one has nothing but "drugstore" stuff,the Kingston one has the Philospohy stand. :(

Sure! Let's blackmail them :D



Does anyone know if there is a store list for MUA Professional? I want to know whether it's worth a trek into town to see their stuff...

They posted this hard to read/confusing list on their fb page: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=206348309402652

Nottingham is on the list, but there are several stores in Nottingham and I can't find the pro stuff in any of them!

Definitely badly put together! I think they have the street names though so that might tell you which one has it?

I can't remember who asked if we'd be getting Stila value sets here now that it's launched, but I just came across this. Looks like Stila's answer to the UD Naked palette and will be arriving here in September.. Definitely on my to-buy list.
