I really like my Amethyst but I have some real problems getting it to blend with other shadows. It doesn't like powder (or I'm just inept) and I think I need a 2nd darker caviar stick to make it work if I want to do a complete eyelook. Right now I just use it as a wash and do nothing else with my eye.

My eyes may not be as sensitive as yours, but they get quite irritated. Anyway, I love the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil for taking off my eye make up lately. It has a scent but it doesn't bother me which is normally the case for anything scented going near my eyes. This stuff though, I can work it into my lashes and break down the mascara really well and it doesn't hurt one bit. Also the best part is as soon as you add water it melts and is gone.

Sounds good I think I might check it out once my Lancome Bi-Facil has finished!
Although I was quite surprised to see the gift voucher is only valid until 24/12/13......Guess I might use that and my indulge points to buy something that I normally wouldn't spend my own money on.... anyone have any good suggestions?
How do you like your Baies candle? I tried it again today while I was at SpaceNK but I resisted!

I think they made the gift voucher valid till the 24th so we can't use it in the sales! I went today and used my voucher and a £10 reward I had on my loyalty card on the NARS lip set and Wakaya Ginger capsules which I've wanted to try for a while!

I recommend the orange chaya Diptyque candle or the pine one! I love them both and had to resist buying the mini versions of them today...! The NARS Lip Set is also really good imo - good luck with deciding and let us know what you end up buying!

Today I'm wearing a few of the items from the British Beauty Blogger box which I loved!! I tried the Vichy luminous face cream and the Urban Decay Moondust in Zodiac. I also used the Rouge Bunny Rouge gloss which is lovely too!
I love the Vichy Idealia! I haven't tried everything in the BBB Box - I have so many samples to try out!

I have eyes with no crease, so I tend to wear only a single colour (although I'm trying to find ways to use multiple colours). So, on the one hand, it sounds like I'd avoid some of the problems you're having. On the other hand, with no crease, I have to work extra hard to blend out the edges of my eyeshadow (I can't use a crease colour to cover up any inconsistencies and I have no 'natural' stopping point between my lash line and my eyebrows ;)). That could make this difficult to work with as well. That's why I've put off buying it for so long - but it's so pretty.

Anyone who likes cleansing balms should give the body shops new chamomile one a go. I got it like 45% off online with one of their many codes. The first time I used it I looked at my face and I honestly think I was born with more makeup on then I had after using it! Since im super oily and it's very rich I just save it for when ive laid the slap on for a night out!

Urban Decay Naked 3 is now available to pre-order at http://www.lookfantastic.com/urban-decay-naked-3/10876416.html

The release date is 21st December. You would think it would be released earlier so that people have time to buy them as Christmas presents, or for their festive makeup.

At least we know what day it is out now over here but I don't think i'll be pre-ordering especially as it won't even get here in time for Xmas. The 21st is a saturday so i'll just brave the Xmas hordes in Manchester city centre and try and get it from the counter in Debenhams. I might try to call them and see if they'll reserve me one.

I really want to try that and will pick it up next time they do a big online 40% off. I'm nearly out of my Emma Hardie and though i like balm cleansing I just don't think that the EH is actually worth the money and think other cheaper balms would do just as well. Though my skin looks better it's only because balms don't dry my skin out as much rather than any particular benefit from the ingredients in the EH. I think the chamomile would be excellent for my skin redness.

I pre ordered...its my last beauty purchase aside from spending my spacenk gift card and points. I am struggling to use my gift card though, I bought all the bits for NARS holiday, I grabbed the ambient light powder and concealer and my face oil I wanted to get the GWP, I don't think I need the Laura Mercier Cavier Stick set as I already have one of the shades and I don't really need another bundle of cream shadows. The only thing I can think of is to grab some diptique, aromotherapy assosiates or an new cleansing balm? I quite like the Bais Candle...its stronger than my jasmine one that I have, think I will enjoy burning it. it is also a proper mini size not the tiny ones they gave away before! I decided to skip guerlain holiday and haven't missed it! I worked out at the weekend that I have pretty much enought skincare and bodycare to last a year and I won't need any make up till lord knows when. I am going to no buy in 2014 until at least 30 June. Then I might consider going further. I put a deposit down on another expensive dream holiday at the end of last week, so hopefully that should help me focus and reduce my beauty spending as I would like a new camera lens to take with me! Today I am wearing the same as yesterday just no blush as I left home too early to go hunting for anything else in the draw....lazy this morning!

Thanks. There is a seller on eBay who is already selling them and they have tons! I keep thinking I should buy from there if I can get it cheaper, but I'm a bit scared it's a fake. But surely they can't already be making fakes!?

Also I wonder if it will be exclusive to Debenhams or HoF first, I've heard of an early Dec release date.

I was in HoF yesterday and was going to ask at the Urban Decay counter to find out when Naked 3 is due, but the SA must have been at her lunch break.

I don't fancy battling through Mank on the Saturday before Xmas!
It is beyond me why they haven't released it earlier too, surely it would be THE no1 beauty gift of 2013?
I like the colours in it so i want it but then i dislike buying massive palettes, im all about portability!

I mean i havent tried the EH but for a possible dupe for less than a tenner i think it'd deffo be worth investigating!

This is what I do with mascara also, I have a sample of Lancomes Bi-fical which I'm using and really love now! When I wear eye makeup I use an oil to take off my eye makeup followed by EH Moringa Balm, I got a sample of Eve Loms and can't wait to try that and compare


Sounds good I think I might check it out once my Lancome Bi-Facil has finished!

I don't know what to spend my voucher on! I have the 50 pound voucher and 5 pounds as N.dulge reward. I got the NARS lip set for my mum for xmas, otherwise I'd get it for myself. I'm not sure about the Laura Mercier caviar sticks as I've never tried them and I'm more of an eyeshadow girl. I have some Urban Decay chubby eye pencils and I never reach for them, so I'm not sure whether to buy them or not.
After this Space NK voucher I'm going on a serious no buy for as long as I can, so now I really want to spend the voucher wisely haha!! Any ideas?

i'd use the code online, but my bank card got cancelled yesterday because of fraud on it, so now i can't buy anything online that doesn't have paypal as an option, noooo!
first i can't place my debenhams order now this - the one i've been looking forward to!

I really liked the look of the Lipstick Queen lipsticks. I haven't got round to trying them yet, so I can't give you an outright recommendation, but that could be something to look at.

Hey that's a good suggestion!! I'd never heard of them before I started looking on Space NK. I'm going to try and look for reviews and swatches.

They emailed me a barcode saying I can use it from Thursday but you might be able to show a Selfridges member that voucher on your phone because I know you can do that with the one they emailed me.

I think I remember Selfridges saying on Twitter that you can now pay by Paypal a while ago but I check as there website is crashing :/ the sale has probably started!

I have some Lipstick Queen, I like the Saints and Sinners Formula, but I don't love my Jean Queen or Medieval as much. I personally don't think they are that great compared with some of the other high end lipsticks I have, in fact I prefer the new Rimmel moisture Lipsticks to my Lipstick Queen ones. Today I am wearing: YSL Youth Liberator, Nars Creamy Concealer, Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder, NARS Daydream Blush & Hourglass Diffused Ambient Light Powder. As everything was so neutral and my ezcema on my eye was bad enough to warrent a dose of steriod cream this morning and glasses instead of contacts, I went for a statement lip, I chose Bare Escentual Moxie Lipstick in Risk It All, a lovely hot pink. I love this formula, pigmented, long wearing and comfortable on the lips, quite moisturising without being slippy! I think I have half decided how to spend my space nk voucher: Mini Diptyique Orange Chai candle, the new Ren Moisturising Balm, I have a spare £16 to spend so debating on the final item to order! I am finding it really hard to spend, I think it is because I have started an inventory of my collection, and it brought it home to me, that I really do have too much :-( I definately can't wear 20 foundations at once! Once I am fully finished the inventory I need to work out what I want to keep and what I would like to sell/throw. No buy is definately happening for 6 months next year, I may start a thread if anyone wants to join/support each other?
