Release dates for the UK

[pippa!]

do we know if the mickey contractor collection is going to all locations in the uk? i'm too sick to go into work tomorrow so i might try and call my nearest counter and see if they have it and will ship to me, ARGH at there not being a mac counter close by that i can go to! :\ i'm lemming mehr, oomph, lust and possibly marvel, siahi, and ivy... also considering sur blush but i'm worried it'd be too dark for me!

also, does anyone know if any counters have any leftover vv stock or are still selling vv products? i'm really regretting not buying heartless!

Hi Pippa!

If you're wondering about the colour of Sur, Temptalia has posted some comparison pictures that might help you judge

go for it! i just called my local counter and am having my mickey contractor haul posted out to me there's no way i'd get to a counter in person in time for it (prob not til february) and i hate waiting for it to come online!!

i ordered: siahi & ivy fluidlines, marvel & oomph e/s, mehr l/s, lust l/g (and also scored i get no kick from champale - the only thing i wanted in the end)

The Mickey Contractor collection is also out in Birmingham. I thought this would be much more exclusive since it's limited distribution. Nothing is sold out yet, the same goes for Cham Pale. Both collections seem frankly unimpressive. I did get Sihai and Feline, however.

I went to Kingston today, Cham Pale is out, but not MC. The MA I spoke to wasn't sure when it was out exactly, although she said they had it in already, but couldn't put it out? She said she thought it was February, so is Stylishly Yours. There seems to be some confusion over these collections.

Anyway, I got all 4 lipgelees, all 4 paint pots, the 2 highlighting powders, I get no kick khol and the eyeshadow quad. I thought I might like 1 or 2 of the lipsticks, but they're all very light and frosty. Love what I got though.

There does seem to be a lot of confusion around these collections! As one of the MA's I spoke to thought stylishly yours might be mail order or selfridges exclusive...I rang both to see what gossip I could get!

Especially as early jan is tomorrow! I'll just have to keep checking with them, there's only a couple of bits I'd like but I'm determined I'll get them!

guys i just had a thought. i bet mac wont put the new collections online until after the 4th so they can have the vat increase. and i dont doubt mac will put the price up by more than just the 2.5% it should. gggrrrr!

 

[rockin]

It wouldn't seem right that those who have local stores that have already put them out get them cheaper, though it wouldn't surprise me at all if MAC use the opportunity to hike the prices.

 

[Anitacska]

I don't know Lou. I'm just wandering maybe they'll put all new collections up in one go on the 4th, rather than 2 this week, 2 next week. With all these bank holidays and all, maybe they don't have the staff to do it? (I'm not as cynical about Mac just yet.)

 

[Lady Gray]

oh nooo. I don't want to wait!

From memory, this is the way Christmas collections go every year. About 4 years ago we were getting them at counters on the 26th December, same as US, this gradually crept to the Thursday, and there is always the confusion and delay in getting them online.

That being said, I wish customer services could at least give out the right information and that there was one consistent message!

Looks like they might be making preparations to put the new collections up on the site - I've just checked the Going Going Gone section, and the Marcel Wanders items are in there. I'm sure they weren't when I looked this morning

Happy New Year!

 

[LMD84]

happy new year guys! i hope you all had a fun night! i was acting like a little old lady and was asleep at midnight! lol!

 

[rockin]

The youth of today - no stamina *wink* LOL

I think it was about 4am when I went to bed

 

[NatalieMT]

I was in bed before midnight too ha ha! I was just really tired so it wasn't worth going out. Happy New Year to everyone though, hope 2011 is good to you all!

I had a mind block over these new collections coming out, so I went to my local counter this morning and spent way too much money. I wanted to love Champale but it was a bit blah, I just got Bubble Lounge and a couple of paintpots. MC on the other hand, WOW some awesome shades to be had there. I especially like Mehr and the fact it's a matte l/s makes it even more wonderful. I just really love how the mattes look lately!

 

[Anitacska]

Happy New Year! I didn't go out either, but only went to bed after midnight, but only cause I was watching Graham Norton.

I really don't understand why the Kingston counter didn't have MC out, I need to go to Guildford and check out the Mac counter there, hope they'll have it!

Just saw Temptalia's swatches of Peacocky, the eyeshadows look fab, but only like one of the lipcolours (the shimmery bright pink one).

it must be frustrating knowing some stores have the collections out and others say it's another month! i'm getting annoyed enough at the lack of collections on the site!

i'm also kinda pleased im not spending as much on mac right now - since hubby bought me a louis vuitton bag and wallet for christmas i have started lemming other lv items! oops! an even more expencive obsession!

grr to having no money. work missed my payday, so i'm receiving it on the 7th and getting my loan around that time too. until then i have £3.16 in my bank so no new mac for me, bet by the time i have my money everything i like will of sold out.
