No, this is something that the Americans have always had (or so it seems) but we haven't until now.  "Gone but not forgotten" is for if you're looking for something that is no longer available online - you ask MAC and I gather they check around the branches to see if any of them still have what you're looking for.

"Goodbyes" is where you can see what MAC online still have in stock.

Ah yes - sorry I misunderstood.  My brain isn't working too well (haven't been getting much sleep - clearly, it's 2am lol)

I know we've had GBNF for a little while because I remember being put through to them on several occassions.  Weird we wouldn't have had it before now - I didn't know we never did.  Shows how much I pay attention lol.

Just been on the phone to Harrods and ordered the Chanel gold powder and nail polish from the Bombay Express collection. Woohoo! :)

Can't wait for Heavenly Creature now, all the swirls are so pretty, hope it comes out on the earlier side and I can order from Debenhams or HoF on Monday.

Anitacska you're gonna absolutely love the powder its so pretty! I went to Selfridges in my lunch break and got one; passed on the nail polish because it was very similar to Peridot but without the green iridescence.  The lady also told  me that they will be getting the blue illusions d'ombre next month.  I also went to MAC and got Have a Lovely Day lip and cheek colour and the new Tient Touche Eclat...its lovely and light and a good alternative to Chanel's perfection Lumiere and its better on the purse at £28. 

I also cant wait for HC, there's a MAC counter at HoF near Bank which is on the way home  so I'll be heading there after work next Thursday hehe!!

Anyway here are pics of the powder with and without flash!

Aaw, so gorgeous! :) Thanks for the pictures. I'm sure I will love it. :)

And thanks for the news about the blue Illusions d'Ombre, I really want the light blue one. Did they say when they're coming out?

No she just said next month, and also that they hadnt received news about the Fall 2012 collection yet.  I will probably give the counter or boutique a call over the weekend and post the info!!

I forgot to mention before Dior summer mix collection of 4 glosses and 4 polishes also launched at Selfridges today but the colours were too bright for me so again I passed

House of Fraser now sell Armani comstics including the ETK eyeshadows!

No, but you can do a charge and send from either Selfridges or Harrods :) .  The postage may be a little pricey but it would be cheaper than you going to pick it up in person by the sounds of things lol!!

Yes, postage charge was £8.50 from Harrods, ouch! But there is no way I can make it to London before August, plus my travelcard costs something like 12 quid anyway, so what can you do?

Forgot to say yesterday, I've ordered the gold and pinky Illusion D'Ombres from Sephora (France) and received them today. Both are so pretty! ♥ The gold one seems to have shrunk though, it's still springy and fine in texture, but is smaller than the others I own. Gorgeous though. I don't know if we're getting those, but since I had a 20% off code again, I decided to get them from Sephora. Can't wait to use them. :)

Ooh are those the new ones? Abstract or something like that? I went on Sephora the other day but they dont show photos of how they look so I wasnt sure about ordering! Any chance of a picture?

I will try to post a picture or two tonight, failing that, sometime tomorrow. x

I love the Illusion D'Ombres, even though they are quite pricey.  Looking forward to seeing your pictures

Here you go. :) Vision on the left, Abstraction on the right. First swatch taken with flash indoors, second without flash in the sun. I will have a proper review on my blog in a few days, but I have some busy days ahead (my eldest daughter's birthday party and my husband's birthday, followed by my daughter's actual birthday).

OMG!! Totally gorgeous!! I wonder if its worthwhile waiting till they come out here or just ordering them and be done with it.... how much was postage?
 

I wish Debenhams would do a 10% off thing for next week as it would be quite a sizeable saving on my HC haul! I don't think it's likely though :(

Postage is about 13 quid (15.90 euros). I only order if I have a 20% off code (I think SOLEIL20 still works), so the discount cancels out the postage. Also don't forget euro prices are usually a bit higher (these were 29.50 euros). Obviously I couldn't wait, so can't really advise, lol.

Yes, that would be nice. Would save me about £25, lol. Must remember to go through Topcashback as well, 3% cashback is better than nothing. ;)

Beautiful!  I hope we do get those here in the UK

The gold is very pretty, but I actually prefer Abstraction, it's such a pretty pinky-coral with pink and gold shimmer. Gorgeous! I'm wearing them both today, the gold on the lid and the pink in the crease blended upwards. ♥

I was mooching around on the Debenhams website (as you do) and I've noticed that they changed the name of Guerlain Sun IN The City powder (the big gold highlighter) to Giant Powder Face & Body. :D I wonder who writes these descriptions as sometimes they randomly change the names of products, or the names of shades. Weird.

They tend to mis-spell or wrongly categorise a lot of LE MAC! I remember that they had the Naturally l/s in the csg link.... Wierd!

Just a heads up: Guerlain Terra Soleia is now available from House of Fraser. I don't know if it's online, but I've just seen it at the counter in Guildford. I have reviewed it on my blog if anyone wants to see swatches.
 

Ren Clean Skincare Freebie with this months Red Magazine.  It comprises of 15ml of Vetiver v7 Hand and Body Cream, 5ml of Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel and 15ml of Hydro-Calm Global Protection Day Cream. :)

St Tropez body gradual tan in August's Elle magazine. There is a choice of Light-Medium and Medium-Dark. I got Medium-Dark with my subscription so I'll have to give it away, I'm way too pale to carry it off!

I actually got to go out last night, for the first time in absolutely ages!  I went with my Dad to see a local rock'n'roll/rockabilly band at a pub where we used to go regularly for rock'n'roll evenings.  Thus I had somewhere to actually wear the makeup I've been buying and hoarding for once.  I wore Mega Metals eyeshadows in Prance, Mating Call and Noir Plum ( I was wearing a purple skirt and a purple leopard print gypsy top), Launch Away! blush and Red Racer lipstick.  Also Bourjois eyeliner and No7 mascara.  Somehow, with no other makeup on and with my hair down, RR looks a bit OTT on me, but with that little bit of makeup on (no foundation or anything like that) and my hair quiffed at the front, it looked great, and definitely not 'too much'. 

I enjoyed listening to the band, and meeting people I haven't seen for over 2 years - most of the 'old faces' were there, and a few new ones, too.  They were all happy to see my Dad again, as he hasn't been going either, what with his ops and chemotherapy. 

Just to let you know, my review of the two new Chanel Illusion D'Ombres is now up on my blog. Link in my signature.
 

Just been playing with the ELF Eye Transformer Palette.  I grabbed the nearest eyeshadow to hand, Mystical Myst, applied a wide stripe of it on the back of my hand, and swatched the 4 Transformer colours over it.  Some very pretty effects.  I think I'll be playing with this some more.  I've tried to photograph it, but it's not coming out very well at all in this light.

Anyone else is stalking the websites today? I really want to order today so I can get my goodies before Thursday and then go and pick up some MSF back ups with maybe different swirl patterns on launch day. So far, nothing. :(
