UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome! - Page 192

Mine was probably one of the 3 packages the postie tried to deliver while I was out this morning.  I've re-arranged delivery, but it won't be until Friday morning :(

Finally Debenhams has the Guerlain holiday collection up as well. I have actually bought everything I've wanted already and none of it from Debenhams, lol. I normally buy everything from there, but I just couldn't be bothered to wait, especially with such good deals on eBay, etc. I'm peed off with Debenhams anyway, since I missed out on the 1000 bonus point offer due to them being so slow in putting the Guerlain collection up. I bought the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick and one of the Laura Mercier eyeshadow trios from HoF today instead. In your face Debenhams, lol!

Same here actually - I've got all that I was going to get too, from House of Fraser - out local is not good, but I did Click and Collect, so didn't have to watch out for parcels being delivered.  I got panicked that I was going to miss out!  Bet Debenhams have missed out by being so slow.

Walked through Boots today, and was amazed to see a brand new Benefit counter and Smashbox counter .  Actually there is already a Benefit counter in House of Fraser, just opposite, but I've never come across a Smashbox counter!  I really liked the look of some of the products - anyone used anything?  The Christmas pack of liners/mascara and the two Christmas palettes both look nice.  I was told that the liners are totally non-smudge etc (by the sales assistant, who pounced the second I paused) but wondered if anyone else has a (probably less biased) opinion?

My Boots never got any new counters, they just rearranged the isles. Just been to the Superdrug in Guildford and it got done up as well as the Boots, that Boots as well as the Kingston one both have Smashbox counters now.

I have a palette from Smashbox (Muse palette from a few years ago), and I bought the Burlesque case last year or so which came with an eyeshadow quad, a blush, a pot of loose glitter, mascara, gloss, etc., but I've never tried their eyeliners. I have so many Urban Decay and Stila ones now, I really don't need any more (well, until some new sets come out from Urban Decay, you know).

The Debenhams in Guildford got rid of their Too Faced stand and I managed to get 4 more of those Galaxy eyeshadows for £14 in total, which I paid for with my points. :) Also TK Maxx had the Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance Policy palette for £7.99 which I own already, but it comes with a full size TFSI primer which is my favourite as it comes in a squeezy tube and doesn't dry out like UDPP, so I figured, even if I manage to sell the palette for just £7.99, I get the TFSI for free. :) I can't resist bargains like that. Bring on the next eBay free listing day, lol.

I don't NEED any either!!  Just don't think I'll resist the temptation, as I walk through Boots every time I do the banking for work (once or twice a week).  Perhaps I should walk through M&S instead :)

I got my Dragon Meteorites today and they are so beautiful ahh I haven't tried them yet, can't wait to do that. They smell divine as well.

I also used the eyeshadow palette today. It's beautiful paired with a plummy lipstick.

I haven't used mine yet. Swatched it on Tuesday, but haven't used it. Been using the Calligraphy palette actually, both today and yesterday, tried out both lipsticks and all the eyeshadows and I really like them, although the lipsticks are not as nice as the Rouge G lipsticks.

The only thing I have from Smashbox is an eyeshadow palette, one of the christmas editions. It is an alright palette but not amazing, I hardly ever use it now. In fact, I depotted all eyeshadows and still don't use them.

I found the darker shade was hard to blend though, maybe it's just me. Overall it a good palette, and I love the shades are quite unique and work really well together. After I finished my eye look up I thought I looked a bit like Natalya Vodyanova from the advert lol just as pretty )))

It's great that you like Calligraphy palette since you got it for a good deal. To be honest, I've been looking at it and I thought I would probably get it myself for a good price. It's a good palette to travel with as well.

Hmm, reckon I should pay my TK Maxx another visit.  They do have some bargains there in the makeup sets, not that I need any more lol.  Great bargain with the Eyeshadow Insurance Policy set!

Hopefully my Guerlain Meteorites will arrive tomorrow. I got my prize from Benefit today, which I won in their #joketuesday competition - the 'Realness Of Concealness' set.  Not bad for just typing a joke on Twitter.

Well done, Rockin :) You seem to be quite good with winning prizes via social media :) 

I've also got myself one of those Too Faced palettes, when I was at TK Maxx in Liverpool 2 weeks ago. I was tempted by the one with the full-sized primer, but decided to go for the smaller Eye Love palette, which had the mini primer inside to see how I like it. I tried Benefit eyeshadow primer in the past, and didn't like it. UD one is still my favourite of all times.

My joke was chosen as the one that made them laugh loudest.  I had nicked it from my friend's Facebook lol.  With most competitions, it's just a case of RT'ing tweets, or 'liking' Facebook posts and hoping you get chosen at random.  I did win a packet of cereal from Kelloggs last week on Facebook - all I had to do to win that was be one of the first 300 to enter their details at a set time.

Ooh what was that super funny joke then? I could do with something to make me laugh, feeling so gloomy today. It's cold, rainy, my period has just started and I've had a cold and cough for over a week now. :(

They said that this time they wanted a joke that was a little more risky, so I chose "Just bought Cluedo: The Swingers Edition.... Turns out they all did it, in every room!!"

I haven't had a period since July.  I am hoping that this is 'the change' and that I'll never have another.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  I keep coming over all hot, so it could be

It's wet and miserable here, too.  I have to go food shopping later, so I hope the rain will stop.  I don't know why, but we've had wasps on our kitchen window every morning recently.  There were 6 this morning, but there have been up to 12 of them.  My son has even seen them flying repeatedly at the glass, trying to get in

Just one wasp still there now.

My Meteorites have arrived :)  The smell reminds me of Parma Violets, only not as strong.  I did get the brush too, and I love that it has its own little velvety pouch

Aren't they prety? My Dragon Meteorites didn't come in a pouch, not sure if it suppose to, I got mine off ebay anyway.

I'm wearing them today and I loove them. They definitely give that perfect skin look. I will be getting the permanent ones too I thik.

I'm wearing the eyeshadow palette today again to test products today for my review.

It's just the brush that came in a pouch, not the meteorites :)  Escentual also sent me a nail file (with their advertising on) and a sample of Prada Candy perfume, which smells lovely.

I like the finish the meteorites give me.  My cheeks don't look as red now.  The little sparkles can only be seen close up.  No doubt the rain will wash them off when I head out to the supermarket in a little while

Hahaha, that's a good one. My favourite one at the moment is: "Dyslexic mothers beat up Jimmy Somerville"

Lovely look. I was gonna use the eyeshadow quad today, but didn't get up in time and children were slow too, so I never got the chance to put any proper make up on. The brushes are lovely too. I have a few I bought from eBay, I don't know for sure if they're genuine, but they seem identical to my shop bought one, they're really soft and gorgeous. :)

Does anyone have any idea which MAC collections we are getting in November, December and January? The new "color collections" threads seem a bit all over the place at the moment, wish MAC would just go back to the old way of announcing collections so we know where we stand!

I might have to pick some of these up then i have terribly red cheeks sometimes because I have a little Keratosis Pilaris on them as well as the tops of my arms. A good exfoliating helps sometimes but not always :( I find it hard to wear pinky blush sometimes because it just makes my cheeks look super red. I have terrily dry skin as well so putting on concealer or more foundation to try and cover it just accentuates my dryness. I've tried those green correctors but they are a bit rubbish really too chalky and dry for me.

lol i've made it sound as if my face is falling apart!

I want a brush too. I guess I'll get it with second lot of meteorites.

I didn't see any sparkles on my face after applying meteorites although they are quite sparkly when swatched.  I definitely like them. I never use powder on top of my foundation as I don't like a powdery finish, I prefer satin finish, and meteorites help me to achieve this.

I would love to know that too, but I have no idea unfotunately, hopefully they will release more info.. but I also got my smartphone ready for stalking..

I've just read through the collections threads and worked out these dates (although they may be different for us in the UK!):

November 2012

* Making Pretty (Couture)

* Grey Friday

 

December 2012

* Strength

* Taste Temptation

* Pressed Pigments

* Après Chic

* Extreme Dimension Lash

* The Stylish Brow

* Holiday: Glamour Daze, Fabulousness, Guilty Passions

 

2013

* Viva Glam Nicki 2

* Archie's Girls

* Spring Forecast Lips and Eyes palettes

I don't think we get Grey Friday

Don't they already have Glamour Daze and Fabulousness in the US?

Spring Forecast palettes are already available here.

So I'm thinking November will be Glamour Daze, Fabulousness and maybe Making Pretty (although that one could be December).

I'm suspecting December is going to be a big one. 

I know that November has all the MAC holiday collections, and I'm not sure we get anything else.

I also spoke to a MA at Chanel today, and she says their holiday collection is due on the 9th November :)

Yep, my Chanel lady said 9th November, too :)

Any idea if we are going to get all of the holiday collections in November?  In the US I don't think they got the crush metal pigment sets and lipgloss sets at the same time as the rest - those sets are yet to come out

Strength is MAC online only, I believe, so I am guessing Taste Temptations might also be.

Obviously, if possible, I want to be able to get as much of my MAC from HoF or Debenhams as possible, to get the points.  Shame MAC aren't with the cashback sites

I think we get them all on the 1st - everything came out at the same time last year! I still have no idea what I'm getting from GD :(

How do cashback sites work if you don't mind me asking? I buy a lot of my makeup online and think it'd probably be worth trying one out!

Yes, I'd definitely say Glamour Daze will be November and we won't get Grey Friday for sure. I'm not really in picture with all the upcoming collections, but I think the lipgloss and pigment sets might come out either mid-November or December, the rest of the kits together with GD.

Does anyone know when the Dior holiday collection is out? I really want the gold/silver eye & lip palette. I'm still contemplating the quints, but they've come out with quite a few gold ones lately, I might skip those.
