If the Peacocky shadows are $19.50 I'm thinking that could translate to being £20+ over here, if that's the case I'll be halving my list from 4 to 2!

AHH! Why 3 collections at once? My bank account is weeping 
I had so much I wanted and had to pass on because of not enough funds, knowing my luck they'll have sold out before I get the money to buy them
(I don't think I want to tell you how much I spent, even with holding myself back!)

Umm....2.5% price increase....not 8%! (In the case of lipsticks.)
This brand is just getting ridiculous.

that is what i thought! and i knew it would happen even down to them releasing the new collections after the price increase! greedy buggers! because the profit margins just arent high enough!

I don't think they'll be that much, the Tartan Tale ones were £15, so I'm guessing £16-17.
that is a good saving! lucky you!
and the tartan tale stuff hasnt had a price increase - so that is why i guessed £16.50 for the mega metal shadows because if the TT ones went in the increase i bet they'd be about that. i shouldnt keep moaning - but it does annoy me when people take the mickey by putting up the prices up way over the 2.5% mark! plus i am in a bad mood anyway today due to the laptop and stuff

It's not even supposed to be 2.5% of the existing price, since that already includes 17.5% VAT, so I think I read it's more like 2.1, % on the total, but MAC also like to have .00 or .50 at the end of all their prices so were obviously going to round everything up to the nearest 50p. Quite how they justify a £1 increase on a lippy, though, I can't imagine!
When you think that NYX UK are 'stripping' their prices of VAT until the end of January, it makes MAC seem even more mean

I've stayed away from here for a while as none of the collections coming out are interesting and this site makes me need what i don't need but WTF mac. Some months my mac budget is £30 and what would that get you now? You couldn't even get a blush and a lippie with that. I semi wanted the quad but not for £3.50 mark up!!! Greedy Bleeps. I was going on a no-buy to use up the huge amount i bought last year but it will def have to be a stand out product to make me shell out. If i want a few things, i'll def get them in a CP and shipped here.

just placed my order by seraching for what i wanted. i was going to buy gana blush until i realised it was £17!! i'd rather buy a nars blush for that amount of money. plus i bought chez chez lame so i am hoping they give a similar effect. oh and peacocky is next month guys then march will be wonderwoman
They do give pretty much the same effect, I swatched them side by side in store, Chez Chez is ever so slightly yellower, Gana is frostier looking. That's about it. You made the better choice.
And 2.5% MAC! That wouldn't have made MUCH difference to my spending. Now, I'm going to spend more time shopping other brands, especially for lipsticks. Can't believe the increase on the quad!

Well so far, all I have ordered is Dark DIversion. And a 219 brush that \i wanted lol. I skipped Cham Pale entirely, and when I phoned the PRo line, they didn't have everything available. Am going to try tomorrow. Also want Madly Magenta CCB, Too Chic BP and possibly a polish from Cham Pale. Will probably get a couple of bits from Peacocky but that'll be me until WW. Gonna use the gap as an opportunity to work on my brush collection. doing it slowly, as I am sick of replacing cheap brushes.

Yeah I agree, I got Chez Chez Lame before the price increase and I swatched it next to Gana in store - they are too similar to justify having both. Chez Chez Lame is the nicer highlighting colour

I just got siahi and dark diversion. Dithered over soirée, I might check it out on the way home from work (although shouldn't, since it's a short hop to the illamasqua counter and even *more* nail polish I don't need...). I liked the look of ivy too but I have the bobbi brown green gel liner and I don't know how similar they are.

I noticed that too!
Ok, so my guess was right that several collections would appear on Tuesday, and yet no Peacocky!? I figure its hitting the stores first then.

i thought peacocky was always going to be a feb release? otherwise we'd have nothing for feb because we always get the huge collection in march, 1 month after the states so it will be wonder woman in march. i hope peacocky doesnt come out this month! i have no spare cash for what i want!

Just placed an order for 2 CCBs - tickle me pink & virgin isle. I haven't had a CCB before, so i'm excited to play with a new type of product
Nothing is interesting me from the Peacocky collection, so wonder woman is probably the next one I'll have a look at...
Thank you for the free delivery code - saved me a few £££

Why do you think Peacocky is coming out this month? I agree with Lou, I've always thought it would be February too.

Me too. I think the Peacocky will be February. We've had a lot this month if you think about it...
So all in all, there's been 6 new stands in some stores! That's a lot for one month. And what would we get in February if they release Peacocky this month?!? I don't think my purse can handle it either!
- Cham Pale
- Mickey Contractor
- Stylishly Yours (although there is some confusion around that one!)
- False Lashes Mascara
- Finally Flawless (relaunch of Mineralize Foundation)
- They've repromoted the Skin Brightening Serum too!

I popped into Guildford today, saw the MC collection, and happily walked away without buying anything (I have already ordered the fluidlines and Mehr lipstick).
Saw a few other spring collections (Dior, Lancome, YSL) and couldn't resist picking up a few bits and bobs, they're all so pretty! I had £45 on my Debenhams Beauty Club card, well, I'm telling you, it doesn't go very far when you're looking at these brands!
