yep, they deffo have

! i heard they were in john lewis on oxford street and forgot to go look, then i was in london a couple of weeks later and i couldn't see it, and i asked some snooty man and he said 'they just weren't right for our clientelle' and their stand was replaced by NARS!

I think we should start a big thread listing where everyone has seen all the products we've listed so everyone knows where to go!!

also - ritcheramone - i'm pretty sure fcuk make up IS still available, a girl at my work today was doing her make up whilst we were both eating lunch and she was using a fcuk pallette and she said she got it recently, i'll ask her for you!

yeh im sure they have FCUK here aswell.. in the larger boots stores

 

[glam8babe]

ohh something that pisses me right off!!!

how come our very own UK brand Rimmel is in the US and has much better brand new products? and like better packaging and designs?
and why do they also have maxfactor stuff that looks all cool n colourful n we still have the old shitty stuff

 

[ritchieramone]

Thanks for the info about fcuk.

I assumed it had been discontinued as my local Boots had a huge sale on it a couple of years ago and it that seemed to coincide with it disappearing from everywhere I'd been able to get it from previously.

They had giant bins full of fcuk products at something like £1 or 6 for a fiver, including the mirrored slide-out magnetic palettes, eyelash curlers and even sets like a highlighter, a lipgloss + 2 eyeshadows. They had a good range of colours and I really liked the eyeshadows; they went on well and were pretty pigmented.

Oh well, all hope is not lost then, and I could also look at the fcuk stuff on eBay again without assuming it's ancient!

In Belfast we have 2 Smashbox counters - the one in HoF that has already been mentioned and in this new chemist called Urban Pharmacy which does everything a little cheaper than the counter in HoF. So glad it finally got introduced here.

Would love to have MUFE available. When I go to the South of Ireland I somrtimes see it, but the one in Dublin seems to be shutting down. It's prob gone by now. Such a shame.

Also want tpo get my hands on NYX, Bath and Body Works and also Cover Girl cos I wanna try Lash Blast!

^Oooh, do you know where the sell MUFE in the South?

totally agree, it would be nice to have the range that america and other countries have, i was looking at sephora and they have LE dior lashes and diorshow mascara that i really want!

cant get it here though - its crap!! they always have new stuff thats cool and stuff that i would 100% buy.

 

[glam8babe]

yeh those dior lashes look sooo hot!
and also theres alot of 'only at sephora' products which is quite annoying

 

[as_cute_as_pie]

smashbox..
theres nowhere round where i live that sells it
had a big haul at sephora at the start of may and bought loads of smashbox
never seen any smashbox round newcastle or anywhere else in the UK?
they used to sell make up forever in boots cos i remember buying a sharpner when they were sellling it all off for 20p lol
mostly i would like US prices! lol
i still cannot get over the fact that i paid what came to £13 for a nars brush when in spacenk they sell it for £36 lol

In the South they had it in Roches stores, but when I went back they'd been changed to Debenhams and they still had the counter, but they didn't have much stock and it seemed like it was going to be closing. The was in Dublin btw. I'm not sure about Cork which is where I'd seen a fully stocked MUFE counter in Roches stores a couple of years ago.
