Debenhams 10% off "secret code" - CJ92

 

EDIT: For some reason I can't get the code to work. :/

Probably not valid on beauty. :( The other code I had wasn't either.

 

When did HC come out in Pro stores?

Yodel has just delivered my Debenhams parcel! Of course now dh is home, but I'll sneak a peak while he's doing bath tonight or after he's gone to bed. :)
 

EDIT: I've had a sneak peak and everything is so pretty! I'll be doing major photographing and swatching for the blog tomorrow. Can't wait! :)

i still cant get my hands on the sleek new collection :( 

 

nyx uk...wohoo thanks for tht xx

My postie has just been, and no Debenhams parcel for me :(  All I got was my Dyson replacement hose and an invite to the Young Carers It's A Knockout competition.  I phoned Debenhams to check whether it was coming by courier or Royal Mail, and it's with Royal Mail, so I won't have my goodies until at least tomorrow

 

I think you will judging by what I've seen on the blogs :) 

 

That spiderman set sounds pretty cool, I might just check that out!

Aaw, bummer. :( I have finally got around to taking pictures of my haul, I've put them up in the HC thread.

 

Just got some indie nail polishes in the post today, mostly holographic ones, they're so pretty! Can't wait to try them out. I've been on a nail polish high lately, bought so many.

Where did you get them from? I am a massive Marvel nerd

 

I'm waiting for some holographic indie nail polishes, too.

 

I popped into Superdrug and got the '2012' collection today.  I got the last palette and the last blush, and there were just a couple of Pout Polishes left.  When I got home, I discovered that the blush was badly smashed :(   I like the colour though - it looks quite bronzy on initial application (got it all over my fingers as I opened it), but once blended in it looks a little rosy brown.  I'll just have to hope they have another one in the drawer when I take it back, but I doubt they will.

Has anyone else received their Mac goodies yet?

 

Another lot of gorgeous multichrome nail polishes has arrived today. I've discovered this shop called Llarowe and she has brands I've never heard of and so many gorgeous polishes! ♥♥♥

 

Oh and just got a cheque for £500 in the post today, one of our Premium Bonds was selected! Woohoo! Now I don't feel too bad about blowing best part of £500 on Heavenly Creature, lol!
 

Is there anywhere you can buy Lorac from the UK? Tia :)

Congratulations on the Premium Bonds win, Anita :)  My Dad won £25 a couple of weeks ago - not bad considering he's had his Premium Bonds for about 40 years and not won a thing from them before lol.  I've never won anything either.  Like Dad said, though, at least it proves that his numbers are still in the draw.

 

My Debenhams order arrived today, along with 3 holographic nail polishes I bought on Etsy.  My parents have been here all day, though (they've only just left) so I've not been able to play. 

Oh I've been quite lucky with this, once won £100 and I think twice £50 or so. We have quite a bit invested in it, now I'm thinking maybe we should put more in since you hardly get any interest on savings anyway. :(

 

Who did you buy the holo polishes from? I saw one on Lipglossiping a while ago and ordered it together with another 3 from Darling Diva Polish. :)

 

I've been dying to play with my HC stuff, but I've been so busy and now of course the family's home, so can't really do it. I am wearing Star Wonder today though as blush, it's pretty, but a bit metallic. Reminds me of Love Rock mineralize blush duo.

 

 

Yes, it was Darling Diva I ordered my 3 polishes from :)

Which ones did you get? I got Space Beetle, Angel Annie, Dangerous Driver and Oh No She Didn't. ONSD doesn't look very holo to me in the bottle, hope it'll work better on the nails. She was also VERY slow to post them, I placed my order on the 19th June and only just received them 3 days ago.

 

 

I got Space Beetle, DivaLicious and Dreamy.  I haven't tried them out yet, though.  I ordered mine on the 18th June.

 

I've just been into town with my daughter, as she needed a t-shirt to decorate for school sports day.  I popped into Superdrug about the broken Sleek blush, and she pulled the last one out of the drawer for me. Unfortunately that was a little broken, too, so I got a refund.  Then I went to the other Superdrug and managed to get their last one.  Neither branch had any of the palettes left, and only one Pout Polish.

Yodel have JUST delivered my HC from Debenhams :(  - ordered on the morning of release!  I also can't open mine, as dh is working from home today, so even considering taking parcel out on school run and going early to have a good look through in the privacy of the car

Hahaha, that is totally something I would do. Or lock myself in the bathroom with my goodies.

Just been to Sainsbury's and noticed that there are 5 magazines with freebies this month! I bought a Cosmopolitan that has free Missguided nail polish (bought one with a shimmery yellow nail polish), and a Glamour that has 4 kinds of balance Me. products (I got the pure skin face wash). There was also Elle, Marie Claire and something else I can't remember, with Avon mascara, Ren skincare and St Tropez lotion or something. Worth a look if you're interested in any of them.
 

Fire Sign's not at all dark/bright or too much on me, in fact it's very wearable indeed even for daytime and looks pinky red on me.  I love that you have a cabinet where you can have everything on display.  My makeup is all in boxes, out of sight like a guilty secret if my parents have cause to go upstairs in my house (such as trying to wake my son up, or helping me get things in or out of the loft).

 

I'm happy that you're feeling better.  I never have my hair 'done' but I do know how it can give people a 'lift' and a bit of confidence.  Enjoy clothes shopping - being able to buy smaller sizes is sure to boost your confidence, too.

 

 

I've tried on my indie polishes from Darling Diva, and they're beautiful.  I particularly like DivaLicious, which is a very pretty purple with multi-colour sparkles.  I like that these twinkle so much, yet they're so much easier to remove than glitter polishes (well, I couldn't very well walk around with just 3 fingers painted, and each a different colour, so I had to take them off again lol)

Hi Lou, glad to see you've made it. Your hair does indeed look lovely, that picture you put up on FB is really pretty. Glad things are much better at your end. Shopping for smaller clothes is so much fun, after I had my eldest I slimmed down to a size 10 and had so much fun buying new clothes. Sadly none of those have fitted since I had my second daughter. But I'm feeling more inspired now to restart running and slim down a bit, I hate being fat.

I didn't buy any lipsticks or glosses from HC, none of them seemed special enough, plus I spent soooo much on the mineralize stuff anyway. Also been buying loads of nail polishes, I really need to stop, so I won't even look at DivaLicious. But yes, the indie polishes I've bought are all so pretty.

Do we know when By Request is being released here? I hope it's not August as we'll be away first week of Aug and I don't know if I'l be able to get online.

Quote:

I was wondering this too! I'm on holiday in France for the first 2 weeks of August, and I'm not sure how to go about online ordering since you need to be able to sign for your stuff....

Can you maybe ask someone to have it sent to their address? I'm more worried about not being able to order it while we're away and missing out. September would suit me so much better. Btw, we'll be in France too, whereabouts are you going to? We're going to Brittany. :)

 

Quote:

I think I'll try and send it to my auntie maybe! I'm going to Clere Sur Layon, it's sort of near Saumur :) So excited for the summer, I'm still in uni at the moment.... 

What are you planning to get from By Request??

evryone enjoying their stuff from HC? i havent bought anything

 

what are we expecting next month?

 

been mia atm, just been so busy at work, hope everyone's okay!

RE: By Request - I'd be surprised if we got it in August.  Don't we usually get everything a month later than the US?  I'd also prefer it to be September but if not, I'd like advance warning lol.

Not everything. Some we get at the same time, some even before the US. I might do a chat with Mac and see what they say.
