I feel like a walking blog spammer lol but I saw these Chanel cream blush swatches. http://cafemakeup.com/2013/06/14/overview-and-initial-review-le-blush-creme-de-chanel/ I believe 9th August is the UK release date for these! I love love love Presage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been dying for swatches of these! I want at least 3 :)
Check out the Beauty sale at Harrods - some great Chantecaille and Guerlain, amongst others! I want it all sold out before I give in to temptation 
Darn you for posting that! I had to buy, although I (almost) steered clear of the makeup - just one lippie. I was tempted by one of the Guerlain palettes, but the colours weren't really ones that work for me so I managed to pass. Stocked up on my Lancome cleansing essentials though - this set is worth £70 bought separately, bargain!

Oh pretty! I like all 3 of the lighter pinks. I might try one, along with one of the new Dior cream blushes (anyone know when they come out here?)

Sorry, lol! I did actually go to break my no-buy - a gorgeous Guerlain palette - by the time I got to check out it had sold out though, so the fates are helping me not buy I think 
Which Guerlain palette did you want? I didn't buy anything.

Destiny, Presage and Revelation look great! Thanks for posting!

It was the Guerlain Terracotta Makeup palette for Face and Eyes Summer 2013. I don't actually remember seeing it before in this sale, it's lovely! Ah well, at least my no-buy is still intact after all :)
I'm guessing Tropical Taboo is out in July. I don't know the rest. To be honest, I have gone off Mac a bit, and in fact I seem to have reached my limit and don't seem too interested in make up right now. I've even stopped blogging, don't seem to find the energy and the enthusiasm. 
Does anyone know which MAC collections will be out next? I've completely lost track
Ladies if any of you are interested in the Revlon Super Lustrous glosses there's a seller on eBay selling lots of 7 (all different colours). I got mine delivered this morning and they were all brand new, sealed and seem legit. I ended up paying £8 plus the p&p which isn't bad considering i think they are that for 1 in the shops. They are also the new round tubes which means they are not old manky stock, though could possibly mean they have fallen off the back of a lorry Anyway if any of you are interested here's the link to the seller's shop http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/leedslad1974.123/m.html?item=321142317921&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 He's also got listings for lots of the Revlon Suede lipsticks
I am unsure if i'm going to bother now i know it's pretty much the the same as Rebel. Same with RiRi Boy i really thought the retro matte formula would really make them pop but it doesn't make much difference and not sure if the dryness is worth it just for that.
Take a look here: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-heaux-lipstick-review-photos-swatches I know T's swatches are a bit off but she has them side by side on her lips and they still look the same so it doesn't matter about so much about her camera/lighting set up
I have to admit I'm not sure I notice anything in regards to the Pepta Bright, but I don't think my skin tone is that uneven and I don't think I have much scarring anyway if any. Everything combined though has really helped to get rid of this spot so I'm happy. I have these under the skin ish spots, I think they're called Milia but I'm not sure if that's exactly what they are which is apparently when the area is really dry/dehydrated. I unfortunately get them on my chin/sides of my mouth which just looks awful. I was hoping the Hydraluron and moisturisers etc would help to get rid of them but I think it's going to end up being a case of having them removed and then really trying to keep the area well moisturised.
EDIT: After just deciding to research it some more... it seems the Milia I seem to get could be because of my liver problems. 
Oh really? Mine turns a very dark blue red on me -- I'll have to use it soon and show pics, it's gorgeous. I just love it. I probably really should get a liner though to use with it.
Nope, I didn't! I'm really disappointed. I don't think they sent it with a courier - I think they sent it with Royal Mail. I didn't get a tracking number and I tell ya what if they've sent it via RM and I've paid £4.95 I'm gonna be calling and complaining. There is absolutely no damn reason 3 items should cost £4.95 to ship with RM if it isn't tracked -- that's outrageous. I'd say try them, if you don't like them, chances are you'll be able to sell them on here without issue.
Ahh yeah -- I hate those titles. I only watch the ones I think will be of use to me or if I'm extremely bored.
Have you noticed any changes now? If you want something similarish you could try a vitamin C serum. I use one from Balance Active Formula and it's pretty good! Incidentally they also do a hyaluronic acid serum I've been using for a while and it's good too. Both are cheap as chips and can be found in Savers. I think Sali Hughes recommended them somewhere.
I don't know much about milia, I have some small ones under my eyes but they're not that bad and I'm not too bothered about getting them removed. Some people are just prone to getting them and there's not much you can do yourself except maintain a good skincare routine. Have you read Caroline Hirons' milia cheat sheet?
Have you had the liver tests done yet? Hope everything is ok!
Yep, pinky! I have pinky lips so it's no surprise. Easily remedied.
How do you like your All About Orange lipsticks? I must admit I haven't touched mine yet. Didn't pick up the other ones but they're still on Selfridges so I can always order there in future. I think I'll probably order MAC from Selfridges in the future, they're always the best department store on release day and the collect in store option is really handy. If only John Lewis sold MAC!
No worries! I'll be stalking along with you. I saw swatches of Heaux on Temptalia and MUABB the other day and thought of you, it seems like your kind of colour. It looks similar to Rebel but a lot nicer because of the matte finish in my opinion. Have you got Riri/Ruby Woo?

Thanks love! I haven't been online since Saturday as my bf was visiting, so this is my first time catching up with everything. Heaux really is gorgeous! I know it's basically Rebel but the idea of it in matte form too kinda makes me want it still, lol!

Haha, yup! You have me pinned down! I LOVE Berry colours. If I could find a really true berry/wine colour that looks just how I want it to on my lips, I'd go BU crazy. I love them. I haven't got Riri/Ruby Woo, but I'm wondering if the difference is big enough to warrant me worrying about getting Riri, if it's not big enough I may as well just get Ruby and save myself the hassle and buy it whenever I want.

Overall my skin feels and looks a lot better, I'm still getting the odd break-out but nothing like it was. I've never heard of Balance Active, where else can you buy it other than Savers? I don't know if I have one!
Oh I have lots of Milia and read her cheat sheet -- I did just go and get my eyebrows waxed yesterday though and had some removed and I did ask about them and if there was any correlation between them and my liver and the girl actually said a lot of mine definitely seem more like liver spots than milia, albeit still having milia as well. Having them removed under/on the eyelid really hurts -- forewarning, the first time I was crying an insane amount as I just couldn't control the tears. Was difficult, lol.
I haven't gotten the tests yet -- they sent me for an ultrasound of my liver on Friday so now I'm just waiting to see if they still want to do the biopsy or not, I keep calling the hospital and the secretary is clearly getting annoyed with me but I'm kinda hoping my calling so frequently will make her want to push him to get answers out to me asap.
The AAO lipsticks are pretty! Which ones did you get again? I posted pics wearing them in the AAO thread, but I'll share them here too if you're curious. I actually prefer Razzledazzler on me the best, 2nd is Flamingo and 3rd is Sweet & Sour -- S&S will take some getting used to! I also LOVE the blushes! Yup, Selfridges is insanely reliable -- I hate their shipping costs but I cannot fault their website, service, or anything else. Everything is always shipped promptly and packaged well/received in good condition. I'll always try Debenhams first for the beauty points but if not, I always go to Selfridges as I know I can rely on them.
Seriously after reading the Rihanna thread -- forget it. No chance am I putting myself through all that stress. I can't afford it anyway really so it's just saving me money. A lady on here I've CP'd from before has said if her 2nd order goes through I can have her 2nd Heaux, but if not, I'm not fussed -- I'll live without it. I don't need anymore stress in my life, especially over damn make-up.

Is Deeply Adored your favourite so far? Probably not, they're almost identical and you could always tweak Ruby with some lip liner. Besides, if you change your mind you could always get it later this year. Riri Woo looks nice but I think I'll get Nars Cruella (you should check it out, it's a beaut) instead.

That's good, glad it's working for you! Neither had I, but it's quite good. They used to be sold in Sainsbury's a while back but I don't see them there anymore. I think Bodycare and Home Bargains would be your best bets. They're sold on Amazon too but they're definitely cheaper in Savers. If you can't find them near you I can always get you some and post.
Are liver spots the brown ones? That's strange! Removal sounds like a pain in the a, won't be doing it anytime soon!
Did the ultrasound doc tell you anything or do you have to see your GP for those results?
I got Flamingo, Sweet & Sour, and Sushi Kiss. You're making me want Razzledazzler and the blushes! I'll have a look in the AAO thread for your swatches, I have a bit of catching up to do.
No one can beat them for reliability! It's just nice to know that it'll be up come rain or shine. I might pop down there this week, Charlotte Tilbury's Rock n Kohl is on so I might have a look-see.
I was going to get that one but it looks virtually identical to UTA.

I know it's bedlam over the pond but do you really think the release will be that bad over here? Hoping it's not too bad like the first Rihanna release, Riri Woo stuck around for ages.

So far yup -- I love Deeply Adored. I wore it on my first date with my boyfriend, he's a fan of it also. I have CIS and Ruffian Red as well but I don't feel as confident in them as I do DA. -- Very true, I'll skip Riri. Oooh I'm still pretty much a Nars virgin. I have their eye primer (way better than UDPP or TFSI) and Nars Orgasm (don't like it, too glittery). I do have a list of Nars blushes I want though, but alas -- it'll take time and money.
Ooh I have a Bodycare and Home Bargains, I'll check to see if we have a Savers, to be honest I don't get out much so every time I do go out the stores have all changed anyway. Thanks for the offer though, I'll keep it in mind if I can't find them!
She actually said they're quite similar to the Milia, she said when she was extracting them that some just were so easy and usually they're not, which she was saying could be to do with it as it isn't a "proper" milia so to speak. Removal is, but it's worth it when it's done!
No results yet from the hospital. The ultrasound technician said my liver *looks* normal, but my blood tests all say differently and have for years, so whether that makes them decide to do the biopsy or not, I'm not sure. They keep chopping and changing their mind and to be honest it's stressful. I just want answers. They've said they'll write to me though, which is ridiculous. Why not just call me first and then write? His secretary even knows how worried I am as I keep calling checking for an update.
Oh definitely get Razzledazzler and the blushes -- all of them if you can. Honey Jasmine scared the crap out of me in pot & swatched, but on the skin it's absolutely beautiful. Royal Sunset is gorgeous and Immortal Flower I've had since it's original release last year and love it. Someone in the thread actually said to use IF with a red lipstick, said it sounds odd but works so at some point I'll be trying it. I hated RD when I got it last year but when I tried it this time, I loved it. Dunno what was different, just did!
Yup! No glitches, no errors, nothing selling out within 2mins of launching -- Selfridges is great. I just wish I had one or a Waitrose or something nearby for click & collect to save on the £5 shipping.
I know it's bedlam over the pond but do you really think the release will be that bad over here? Hoping it's not too bad like the first Rihanna release, Riri Woo stuck around for ages.
Surprisingly, I didn't even know about the first Riri release, I completely missed it so by the time I went to see about it, it had already sold out. I've just had an offer via PM though -- a girl has decided she doesn't want her Heaux and RRB lipsticks so I'm definitely taking Heaux off her. Do you want RRB? I can just have it shipped with Heaux if so and send it to you when they get here, would save the hassle for it unless all you really want is Heaux.
