Popped into Westfield in London (the new one, the biggest shopping centre in 'urban' Europe, as it is tagged). It is literally 13 mins from my door, to the door of the centre. Gutting as I am skint, as usual. Only lasted about 30 minutes there today as it was torture; they have shop going (bar Urban Outfitters) and I only properly looked in Primark; the stuff is FAB. Teal mini's, gorgeous shades of all colours...

Bold Westfield, go away, please!!!!

I visited the other one when I was in London in January and I loved it! I didn't have enough time in it at all!

Yeah, it's pretty much the same, but is a bit bigger and has an American feel to it or something..reminded me of one in San Fran..so, so many shops tho. Will get insanely busy come Christmas, and is only 20 mins form the city centre so will be a better option than Oxford St as everything is right under one roof. Think I'll do my shopping online this year

Any one bought from the Beauty Emporium before?

I'd like this cause the price looks good but not really willing to risk €40 if it's a no go

I bought some bits from them, Sleek products - delivery very quick, everything was fine, couple of nice freebie little samples included in the package too.

^ That's crazy, I was just looking at that website today but I was too scared to order 'cause I saw MAC on it and I read on here somewhere that you can't buy authentic MAC from anywhere other than their own website etc. So I figured the products were fake. I actually wanted to buy some of those Sleek eye shadow palettes just to see what they're like.

I think the MAC is overstock but I'm not certain.

I haven't bought any of the Sleek eye palettes, but had a poke at them in Superdrug; good pigmentation. I just prefer singles.

The Pout Polish stuff is really great.

I purchased this from them http://www.beautyemporium.ie/product_p/el100.htm

And when I visited my sister in the U.K I got her to have a look at it (she's a make-up artist) and she said she was 100% it is real. She said it is exactly like any Esteé Lauder eye shadows she has used.

Fragrance Direct UK sell M.A.C Cosmetics, I purchased three things from them, my sister looked at two of those things (eyeliners, Smoulder and Teddy) and said they are genuine.

I just figured at 8 euro for a palette, it wouldn't really break the bank! I'll give it a try!

Thanks!

So I was at the hairdressers saturday waiting for my highlights to set, flicking through some trashy mags when suddenly my eyes flicker to the fashion section of one mag. And I see this skirt. Pretty much full length, or midi worn high-waisted. Creamy pink in colour and very girly.

And then Sunday, I spot it in H and M. I can't afford it, but bam! I've got me a ridiculously impractical, but oh-so-chic skirt that everyone I know will ask 'what did you buy that yoke for?'. And I

it. Must take some pics tomorrow to post on here, at least maybe some of you guys/gals will appreciate my skirt-gasm

@ Hermione. The H&M dresses are just beautiful. Saw Pippa Middleton has them too

Novella · 21-09-2011 06:20PM

Boots in Liffey Valley has had a wee make over. I was in there today and I wanted to buy so many things! I was having a look at the Stila make up and some of it seems really lovely, and as for those Philosophy shower gels, I must have them, all of them!

I LOVE this coat http://www.warehouse.co.uk/stripe-faux-fur-coat/Coats-&-Jackets/warehouse/fcp-product/305496

Tried it on yesterday and it's so cosy. Just bought an expensive pair of jeans so gonna wait until my tips have built up a bit again and then buy it

Thank you! I'm really happy I found them. Such a great price too, only €30, and cotton, not polyester!
I think Pippa's worn them to work, from the looks of the pictures. IMO, they are Saturday night dresses, not work dresses! They're super short. Haven't had a chance to wear them out yet, but am looking forward to getting to wear them

Those dresses are gorgeous. I wonder how tall Pippa is? I find most dresses too short for me but would love these...

I reckon she's about 5' 6"? I'm just over 5' 8" so they are quite short for me

But I'll wear them with 100 denier tights and flat shoes, so I think I'll get away with it. The long sleeves also help counteract the shortness imo.

They still have those dresses in H&M, if you're interested. I saw them in the Henry St branch last night.

Thank you!

I'm 5'7" so maybe I'll get away with it too!

They are lovely dresses and I've been on the look out for a lacy dress for a while.

Little update:

Got the black lace one in H&M Blanchardstown. They had the cream one too but not in my size. They also had tops in the same material but in navy.

Anyway, the dress fits okay. I'm a 12 and got the medium. It's a little big around the waist but I reckon the small would be too tight and short. I think i will try a thin belt with it to cinch it a little. The length is good for me, hits a couple of inches above the knee so I could wear flats or heels without showing too much. All in all I'm happy with it.

I ordered from elf last Sunday, as in not yesterday, the one before that and just today I got the, "Your order has been dispatched..." e-mail and it says it'll be another 7-14 days. Ahhhh, so long!

I ordered stuff then too and so far all I've gotten is the "we are snowed under with orders but will send your stuff as soon as we can" email.

Snap! Rather annoyed! I know it was 50% off and all but even still it's ridiculous to have to wait this long for it even to be dispatched.

For the Hello Kitty fans! I think I'm going to get a metre of my favourite and make a cushion.

squeakyduck · 27-09-2011 05:42AM

So cute! My little hello kitty keds ripped the heels of my feet...but I forgive them...they probably need to be broken in.

Currently lusting over these

Just watched Gok Wan's how there..I'm in love with the man all over again!! Some great ideas (watch him make a waspie!). I wish someone would Gok Wan me!

27-09-2011 10:48PM

There are some gorgeous clothes in Warehouse at the moment. I want everything. Winter clothes are always my favourite!

LadyMayBelle · 28-09-2011 07:03PM

Back to blonde

Gave my hair a dose of the Colour B4 stuff after a years absence..last time it went ginger, and i was kinda hoping it would do the same this time, but instead it went blonde..my natural I guess
