UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[AndSparkle]

I get generally ignored in Department stores, also. Probably one of the reasons I haven't spent a day in one trying out different foundations for a good match - the MAs are just so intimidating. I guess I don't look rich/makeup obsessed enough for them to waste their time on.

Yep. I'd love to stray away from MAC foundations, or try out something other then the lightest Bourjois foundation... but I always feel so out of place and invisible when I actually do get the courage to go and have a look at different brands. I'm so thankful for resources like Temptalia's foundation matrix.

I have a similar problem, AndSparkle. Only thing is, I think maybe they consider me too old (I'm 45) or not 'rich looking' enough. I walk into House Of Fraser and feel I'm not posh enough for the place.

The Urban Decay counter don't seem to have that problem though - they are always willing to help if help is required, or to advise if asked. The Benefit counter staff seem to impose their help and advice on you whether you want it or not.

yeah i don't think i look posh enough when in debenhams! that must be why the ignore me! lol!

Pink Crackle - here is my blog post on the barry m pink crackle polish!

I don't have these problems in department stores at all, if anything I'd like to be left alone more, lol.

Lou, how do you like your Nars goodies? I'm really tempted by the eyeshadow trio, but I probably own the same shades by other brands already - 3 times over! What do you think about the blush? I saw on Temptalia that it's very glittery. I hate all the glitter in Orgasm and especially Super Orgasm, but the colour of New Order is very tempting. Can you post swatches if at all possible? Thanks.

i am loving the trio! all colours are very pigmented and easy to work with. i have actually just done a video tutorial which i shall edit. my camera battery is on charge right now but i shall do swatches when it is done new order is way more glittery than orgasm and to be honest it doesnt have much colour payoff. you definately have to use it as a highlight or blush topper

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. I think I will pass on New Order then.

 

[LMD84]

yeah it doesnt sound like it would be something you'd like because it is way more glittery than the orgasm range i like it though - it's something different

I liked the pink crackle post. I bought that one last week and haven't had a chance to try it yet. I've now also got the Models Own silver crackle waiting to be tried - they finally have it in our Boots store, so I bought it today with my points.

Oh gosh I still have the Models Own ones to buy...

They only have black and silver at present, and I already had the black Barry M, so I just got the silver.

Our branch has 3 for 2 signs all over the place in the makeup department, so naturally I took advantage of it LOL. I got the Models Own crackle polish, a Barry M lippy and a Revlon Colourburst lipgloss.

I also got an Impulse spray for £3 (not included in the 3 for 2) with a limited edition Barry M lipgloss attached to it. I got the 'Very Pink' Impulse, which came with a sparkly pale pink gloss

My friend who works for MAC has just informed me that the Surf baby collection has been held back a week in the stores ! She wasnt told why and couldnt believe it when i told her it was already out online...
On another note im so going into town tomorrow and picking up the pink barry m crackle and the orange instyle polish ! Sounds like a great combo !

 

[nunu]
