Hmm I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve stacked the 5% discounts for 300 points each to a maximum of 25% (or 20 can’t remember as it was a while ago) my points expire in July and I was hoping to use them towards the brow pencil
I didn't know that was possible! does the website accept multiple codes then? (not tempted by this new release - but for future reference as I have loads of points and don't buy that often - esp as SpaceNK has LE at 20% off at the moment ...)

What’s the dark coloured one? Not interested in lilac or pale shades, I want definition! lilac makes me look corpse like
It's an olive green colour with a golden shimmer

I am a T6 having managed to be colour matched a while ago. Have decided to go mad and try the VB one instead of buying LE. Am treating myself for my birthday. Got colour matched in Selfridges - would never dare spend that much without a match in person.
Ooh let us know how the VB compares to the skin tint. I’m a T6 too but have been using the 6.5 as well

I’m so tempted by the guerlain lipstick compacts for pocket / top
Ups. Has anyone tried them? Wish Lisa would do a version
Guerlain came out with this idea many years ago and then they changed the packaging so old lipsticks and cases wouldn’t work with new lipsticks and cases. There’s a great Chloe Morello video where she learns about this in real time and she displays the absolute frustration and disappointment of the issue haha. So for me that would be a worry, if they have changed before they will likely change again. Also they are quite light and feel cheap even though they don’t look it. I remember on an old episode of Fat Mascara their guest said for us to become more environmentally sustainable with makeup we need to move past this idea that luxe = heavy but I’m sorry, I just can’t!

Also did anyone else see Lisa has stepped down from Lancôme as Global Creative Director. I did find her appointment a bit odd after awhile because she used to regularly appear on their social media, especially their YouTube channel and she would promote a lot of the products she made with them (that infamous highlighter flower) but for a good while she hasn’t visibly been associated with them so much so I asked her team if she still was a few years ago (curiosity gets the better of me again!) I also found it a shame they didn’t seem to update their main collections and Lisa worked (seemingly) on new ideas or limited editions. I’m still gutted they got rid of the Juicy Shakers because they were amazing! Mine still work and don’t smell off or have mould on. Justice for them!!

I have cinnamon bun and pomegranate glace. I now have rose madder and hellebore on the way.... they are great. When you use them as blush they don't feel sticky unless you really build it up, and when you use them on your lips they have lots of slip and feel like a proper slippy lip balm. They dont have the longevity something like rare beauty liquid blushes have but you wouldn't expect that from a glowy, dewy looking one anyway. And it's easy to pop in your handbag and reapply at lunch.

I have cinnamon bun and rose madder and love them both. I haven’t used them on my lips yet but love them on my cheeks. The RM I just use on my cheeks but the CB I used on bridge of nose, temples as well, it’s super natural and not too subkissed on me. I’m a T6/7 in her tint for skin tone reference

Having discovered that I have also been demoted from Emerald status, I went on a bit of a dig. Found the below on Instagram from what looks like a press event/launch Lisa held yesterday for these blushes/balms. I'm sure the Emeralds on this thread will be able to provide better insight and swatch pictures etc. later, but just thought I'd share for anyone similarly impatient!!

I‘m desperate for LE to release an under eye concealer.
I’m tempted by the Chanel one which was released last year. It‘s got good reviews on Youtube.
I'm swithering about that concealer. As you say, lots of positive reviews. But bought some of the Rouge Noir collection, so am holding back for a while 😀

I did get the email but missed it.
I’m not going for any this time.
I have 2 liquid mattes already and they’re not different enough for me.
I get that. They're similar I agree but are different. Similar to some of the lipsticks though. I've said it before but I'll say it again - I'm a magpie with her stuff.

I thought the olive one might be a good base for desert gleam as it looked really similar to the khaki matte shadow in that.

It's because I have Phoebe, Iona and Irene already that I didn't opt for more. The lavender ones seem very similar to Iona. The rose one looks similar to Irene and the mushroom one looked a bit pink so not too different to Irene.
The lavender one is darker and greyer than Iona.

Great thinking about the olive as a base, I hadn't considered that. Thank you!

I love how we are all different. Rose Madder was the only one I wasnt tempted by. I think possibly because I recently bought Rare Beauty's Hope in both the liquid and bouncy and I think the colour is very similar. Obviously I reserve the right to buy it (mainly because I think it'll be the most popular one and sell out quickly)
The selling out bit was a big driver for me buying it yesterday.

Really wanting Dreamy Damask but I just know it won't show up on my lips. Bloody Space NK had one of the holiday eye sets and nothing else from the new collection? So I can't see it in person yet.

Anyway I'm loving my Lurex! (Anjelica) Kind of footery to apply but looks great. Superior to the VB lid lustres.
Oo have you tried much else of Victoria Beckham’s cosmetics? I’ve heard glowing reports.

She's seemed drunk af in her last few videos and whatever she's doing to her face it's probably a good time to stop now.

Yes I stacked 4 on my last order - I was nervous of them expiring; that keeps happening to me with points on SpaceNK :)
That's great to know! My SpaceNK points usually expire because I don't shop with them very often, and it annoys me so much - I mentioned it when they sent out a survey. Weirdly earning points which expire annoys me more than not earning any points at all.
