Release dates for the UK

[Anitacska]

Better to have it, then not and then regret it.

Guess it's true, but in all honesty I have so much stuff already, I could live without more make up, but I'm addicted to buying it. I do use it every day (I'm wearing a full face including 4 eyeshadows today), but even so. Never mind, it'll be fun to open my box when it arrives. And at least I can afford to spend this much on make up, we're not on a tight budget thankfully.

I cracked and ordered the pink lip bag and the pink cheek bag. I was going to go to the counter but id prob see something i'd like and i can't afford it just now. I do want the viva glam bag so if its still up next week i may get it. Does anyone know why the viva glam bag is listed as $36 (same as the lip bags) but they are only charging us £20 for it and not £27.50? not complaining but just baffled

You are all being very restrained, I've spent too much already on this collection. I got 4 dazzleglass cremes, the pink lipkit and the pink face kit, 2 pigments and a pearlglide! I also got Impassioned lipstick that I'd wanted for a while. Still want to check out Reelers & Rockers palette and the lipsticks, and of course the pigment and lipglass mini sets next month. I'm ashamed of myself.

I have to admit, I am ashamed of how much I have spent on this collection, although I know I won't be buying any of the kits or bags. I ordered the 3 pigments, 2 pearlglides, 3 eyeshadows, 1 Dazzleglass Creme, Courting Lilac, Cut A Caper, The Faerie Glen and Impassioned.

Got my dispatch e-mail, it's black box day tomorrow!

Plus I'm going to the counter to check out the lipsticks and palettes too!

 

[ChloeCariad]

Hey Ladies, RE the Debenhams £5 off voucher, is it definitely redeemable against MAC? As the vouchers does say selected concessions are not applicable - I am also looking at getting some more foundation - Estee Lauder. I have four emails, so four vouchers! Whee. I am going to Bristol shopping tomorrow - gonna get a couple of the bags I think - and on the way I have to stop at Cardiff and have an hour to kill - so might go to Debs there too! tee hee!

 

[ChloeCariad]

I'm going tomorrow too! I will happen to be in the Cardiff counter withing the hour it opens - never been to MAC on a collection release day before! And then the Bristol counter later on - hope I can get a postcard or two - living so far away from MAC means I mostly order online.

Got my dispatch emails late last night, and according to tracking my boxes have arrived at the Maidstone depot early this morning, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a visit from the courier today

That Carnaby event looks great, Soul Unique. Thanks for letting us know about it. Unfortunately even if I could go to London I wouldn't be able to stay long because of getting home again. 20% off is fantastic for those who can go, though

 

[charlotte366]

My tracking email arrived too, but what is the betting that my parents are out when it is delivered, then i have to wait till sat to collect it!

 

[KawaiiPrincess]

I got my dispatch email too! Hopefully it will arrive sometime this evening.

They are usually not redeemable against beauty or fragrance which is annoying because that is all I buy in Debs! Sometimes if you get a newbie sales person though they will put it through not knowing/realising hee hee.

 

[LMD84]

my black box arrived! moonlight night is pretty but not wow worthy. but the family crest is nother story! i havent been so impressed by a pigment in a long time! simply beautiful!!

I went to Kingston to check out the collection, but the counter there (in Bentalls) didn't have the colour collection out, apparently some problems with the stock. It was all there, but the Bentalls people were checking through it and Mac hadn't got them by noon, so had to leave without.

Didn't get anything as I found all the eyeshadow palettes quite bleh. I decided to order Cut a Caper, Full Fuschia and Courting Lilac, as well as Family Crest (which I also wanted to check out at the counter, but can't risk missing out on if it's as fab as Lou says!

). So there, another £52.50 spent unseen. *sigh*

Also my box came while I was out, but the lady left it in a safe place, so don't have to re-arrange delivery thankfully. I'm a bit underwhelmed by some of the Dazzleglass cremes, but the pigment are nice and so are the face and lip kit.

 

[rockin]

Mine has just arrived too

I'm sitting here with a hand covered in swatches lol.

The shadows are lovely, and very soft indeed. I love the lipsticks, and am currently wearing The Faerie Glen, which I nearly didn't get as I had thought perhaps it might be a little too pale for me, but this could atually be 'my perfect nude'. I'll be trying the others out later.

Loving the pigments too, especially Later, when swatched wet. In fact they all look best wet. I'm looking forward to playing with them all.

I also got freebies of Prep + Prime Skin (one in each box), and I've never had freebies before so I'm very pleased with that
