I got the master palette as a present at Xmas only used 2 colours on it but was impressed! You could always mail them?

I just got the email now, it's been dispatched, yay! Must be a large volume of orders I guess. Yeah I've heard good things about it, it's reasonable too with the 30% off.

Just ordered Two Faced Sweet Peach palette on debenhams. Delighted with life

New beauty blender on the way from Cult Beauty, and found a 15% discount code so HAD to get the ABH Glow Kit
I was going to bypass this for the SoSu highlighter kit but I was able to swatch it in McCabes a couple of weeks ago and was really disappointed. Very very talcy and not the right pigments for my skin - they barely showed up at all and with very little shimmer.
Also picked up a Zoeva fan brush..

My Monu Skin primer arrived the other day too, after sampling from my Look Fantastic Advent calendar. Best primer I have ever used I am obsessed! And it's SPF 15 which is always a bonus

I'm not sure if it was this thread or another one where I was looking for mac foundation in NW13. I ordered it from the American site and got it shipped to the hotel where my bf is staying this week for work! They take PayPal so it was easy to get around the US card issue. They also still had some of the mini pigment kits from the Nutcracker Sweet with 40% off in the Goodbyes section, so I got one of those too which I'm super pleased about as I kicked myself for not getting one before they sold out. Happy girl here.

Sorely tempted by the ABH modern renaissance palette too but I think I'll have to wait until payday/next restock!

Any chance for a PM of the discount code?

Anyone know when the Boots 75% sale is starting?

Got this mask for dry skin in TK Maxx last week for €12 I think

Oh it's not a code, when you go on the site one of the scroll banners is for the goodbyes - it's collections that are being retired, like the nutcracker sweet or the trolls.

Doesn't look like there any on the UK site atm but if you sign up for emails they let you know when they have some. It can be pretty hit and miss sometimes but I got lucky on the US site.

I know someone who works in Boots and they were told it's not going ahead this Wednesday. Their promotion changeover is next Wednesday so they think it'll be done at the same time as that.

Anyone having issues trying to get onto the Boots website?

I've been trying to place an order for the past number of hours, kept saying my password is incorrect, so I requested a new one several times, only came through on my phone not laptop, so I entered the new one on the phone, tried logging in on the laptop and can't.

What is it with that website, since it launched I've only been able to order once, every other time I have to go in store, which for me at the minute is impossible.

Drives me mad it does.

Have you tried the Korean beauty range that was in tk maxx all skincare.
I bought the tony moly 3D face masks they are very good. I'd bought some in Sephora when I was in the states and it's just as cheap here to buy them.

I haven't tried them no, I haven't seen them in my local TK Maxx. I will keep an eye out for them though.

Always! Boots Ireland website is incredibly glitchy, so difficult to place an order or even browse products.

The app on iPhone is brutal also - regularly freezes and crashes.

Thanks to Birchbox, I've been obsessed with the Manefit sheet masks. Still getting them from the Birchbox website, and they're only £2 each! The cucumber one and the lavender one are my favourite!

Has anyone got the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette and what did they think of it? I only just purchased the UD Naked 2 palette last week and have used it non stop - it is miles better than the W7 dupe I had been using. But the Naked 2 has more shimmers in it than I would really gravitate towards. So trying to justify buying it when I have ABH and Blank canvas palettes already in use also and I only have one set of eyeballs!

I have the Ultimate Basics pallette and I love it! I was never a fan of the naked palettes because I don't like shimmer eyeshadows so the basics is ideal for me. There's a good mix of neutral brown tones for day wear and some darker ones for night wear (burnt orange, dark purple etc). I'd definitely recommend it.

Thanks I was rather hoping that someone would say you don't really need it and I wouldn't be so tempted then! :P
Anyone know if UD still do they mini version of the all nighter setting spray? I don't see it on Debenhams website and wanted to try it and would grab it if I was placing an order with Debenhams (have no Urban Decay counter near me)

They definitely still have it, I bought it the other day!
Personally not a massive advocate of the UD Ultimate Basics, but I throw it in my bag if I've to get ready on the go so it's great for that.

Does EL Advanced Night Repair break anyone else out? Have only been using it for 3 nights but so far my skin isn't responding well

Yeah it breaks me out too so I gave up using the samples I had and gave them to mam and she's had no issues.
