UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome! - Page 175

I bought 2 core collections as I love the buffing brush so much! It works with every foundation I use from full coverage like Estee lauder DW and the lighter end of the spectrum like MUFE face and body. I use the detailer brush as either a lip brush and the contour brush either for contour or buffing in undereye concealer.

Well worth the money, they wash really well and keep there shape too.

I bought my bits today in Mac fromt he face and body collection, I picked up both brushes, (I think the 215 will be well loved!), 2 pro sculpting creams in accentuate and pure sculpture and a Face & body foundation to replace my MUFE one which is on its last little bit. Will be interested to see if it lasts as well as the MUFE one, feel much happier trying a smaller bottle! I think this might have been my biggest mac haul for a long time, the last bits I bought were from the brush collection.

I nearly snuck in a mattene and blush from styleseeker, but told myself I just didn't need them!

I recently started work at a new job in the next town, the mac counter is a 10 minute walk from my office, dangerous, I also discovered that the Debenhams here has been refitted in the beauty department and it has a urban decay counter and an origins counter, things I had to go to London for previously! Must limit the number of days a month when I go out for lunch otherwise I will be in big trouble!

Sounds lik a nice haul :) I'm going to hold a little bit with pro sculpting creams as I can't afford anything after splashing out on style seeker, but I would love to try them.

I wish I lived 10min away from MAC store lol that would be a dream.. You are so lucky :)

I went to check out the collections today, the counter in Guildford only had Styleseeker, Cremesheen + Pearl, Face & Body and the Nicki l/g, none of the other collections that were supposed to be out in September. I only got Supercontinental blush and Warming Heart pressed pigment. I didn't like the Viva Glam Nicki l/g, it's not as nice as the lipstick imo. I also didn't think Styleseeker n/p was worth £10, it's not at all duochrome. Oh well, money saved.

I must keep away from TK Maxx though, I ended up spending lots of money there instead, lol. I also bought a couple of nail polishes from Superdrug and a couple of things from Topshop.
 

In our Superdrug, they had some of the Sleek 'Oil Free Créme To Powder' compacts in the £1.99 clearance bins.  They only had the darker shades in there, though.

I'm brand new to the Spektra forums but have been a long time lurker so hi everyone

I had a chat with a MAC artist last night and she said Marilyn and By Request would go up on the same day - 4th October (though she did say to check from the 1st as they may go up early!!)

Also she confirmed that we wouldn't be getting Ruffian though originally she gave the 4th October date for that as well.  After she said that I asked her if she was sure because i had heard rumours we weren't getting it so she went away to check properly and she said the rumours were right and there will be no Ruffian for the UK

Welcome to the site!

Shame about Ruffian, but I'm sure I will live without another red lipstick. I must have 20-25 of them already anyway.

I was very proud of myself today. :) Went into Debenhams and picked up the new Lancome highlighter as I still had £16 worth of points on my Beauty Card. The lady at the counter said if I spend over £40 I get 500 bonus points and I managed to resist! Woohoo! :) Also had an e-mail about Bentalls doing a really good GWP if you buy 2 Lancome products, but chose to go to Debenhams instead and not overspend on somethign I don't need! :)

By the way, the Middle Eastern lipsticks are now up on Debenhams too.

That great news as I want to check out Mehr the other 3 colours don't look like they would suit me at all!

Debenhams Beauty Card, that baby sucks me in everytime. I get £15 worth of points and just pop in to spend them on e.g. an Urban Decay liner and I come out with armfuls of stuff. Oh and of course this means I get more points for next month it's a never ending cycle ha ha. The best thing ever was getting Chanel's Aqualumiere for the grand sum of 1 british pound though and I managed to restrict it to just that one thing that day.

Just come back from Boots as I needed to get some Calpol and Calprofen (both my son and eldest daughter have sore throats) and there was a sign saying they're getting rid of the Photo Kiosks as there will be a big store rearrangement and there will be more beauty brands coming. Ooh, I hope they get some cool brands in like Models Own, Stila, Chanel, Dior, etc.! So excited, lol.

Also, got a letter from Debenhams that they'll have 10% off all beauty and fragrance from Tuesday to Friday, no code necessary. Shame I don't really need/want anything right now.
 

What does your Boots have at present?  We had a total rearrangement in our Boots, in Epsom, and the beauty brands introduced were Estee Lauder, Clarins and Clinique.  Bit silly, as it's almost opposite House of Fraser, that has those brands.  At least you can use/earn your Boots points :)

Typical the kids getting ill just as they go back to school :(  Hope the Calpol does it magic!

We don't have any high end make up right now, just a few cheap ones. We do have a Debenhams with EL, Clarins, Clinique, Benefit and Lancome, so I don't need those, but Chanel, Stila, Dior, etc. would be nice. :)

I'm excited.  A lovely Specktrette in Cali is CP'ing me Yung Rapunxel l/s, Jete, Moth Brown and Guacamole so I don't have to worry about missing those items because of college.  The only thing to worry about will be Moxie l/s, but that's not as bad as missing all the e/s's lol.

I assume that's online only?

No, it's online and in store.

Thanks, I'll head in on Weds after college to take a look at picking up the UD Naked Skin foundation, I'm quite liking the sample I have.

Guess I should have waited a bit longer to get my Dita Von Teese ArtDeco stuff from Debenhams *sigh*.  Just my luck!

It's always the case, isn't it? I could've saved £4 off the Lancome powder too. Oh well.

Eh, the Boots in my town still won't have any extra counters, they've just put in a few more isles with Christmas stuff on them and made the No 7 stand bigger. Oh well.

The Enrapture Totem Styler and the Jumbo Waver are half price at Debenhams at the moment - £37.50 each instead of £75!!

Thanks! I wanted to order some MAC stuff, and then also the new Marc Jacobs perfume but you can only get one set of bonus points per day

Ahhh I have Supercontinental and a new MSFN in my Debenhams basket but I need another £8 to make it up to £40! I really want Mehr but it's sold out :(

I know it's stupid to spend an extra £8 to only get £5 back, but damn that offer is tempting!

I went into HoF today, to see if I could order, paying with my vouchers.  Apparently it's not possible.  The only thing she could do is let me order from the website using their instore computer terminal,  (I was buying MAC, which is not available in our branch) paying online as usual, then when the goods arrive and I go to collect, they can refund me and let me pay again using the vouchers!  Even Boots can let you order and pay instore, why can't HoF?

HOF seem to be a bit behind with the times! so frustrating!

 

i am going to london for a few days on saturday which should be good fun. i'm just trying to work out which makeup to take with me. i'm thinking the naked palette and a couple of quads for some bright colours. :) i hope you're all doing ok!

It's a brilliant price, isn't it?  No way could I afford it at £75, but at £37.50, it's a whole different story.

Enjoy your trip to London.  I haven't been there for about 18 years, and never stayed there.

Have you checked whether the Congestion Charge will apply where you're going?  It's a pain in the bum
