Considering the tartan tale shadows where oversized and only £15 I think £16.50 is a bit too high of an increase, maybe £15.50-£16 at most? Fingers crossed.

I'm totally underwhelmed by wonder woman. Fortunately. From peacocky I want spectacle of yourself, centre stage, paparrazz-she and dalliance, plus flaunting it, woo me, super and exxxhibitionist
Like Soujourner this is probably the only collection I've been *really* exhibited about since art supplies.
This time I won't be ordering online, I really need to check everything out in person, and that way I might actually only get what I really want. Hope it works.
lol! i'm not sure it will work! hee hee! i have got much better at buying just what want and not just buying for the sake of it. but i still have my moments!

Peacocky "Mega Metals" is a whole new formula, though, and will probably be priced higher for that reason, plus of course the recent price hike due to the VAT increase. They didn't bother increasing the cost of the Tartan Tale items when they put everything else up by way over the amount of the VAT increase
very true! which is why i was thinking they will be about £16.50

I feel more embarassed at the counter when I buy loads of stuff, so that might stop me from buying every eyeshadow, and also sometimes I just don't like things as much in person as I thought I would based on the swatches.
when i buy loads at a mac store i never feel embarrassed. mainly because i know the sales persons figures will be so much better after my visit! so you should never feel embarrassed about how much you buy, i bet your sa loves it! i know i love it when people buy loads off me at work!

^ I do feel a bit embarrassed too sometimes (though not recently since I've been on a low-buy) but I remember when I got my Art Supplies stuff the girl serving me seemed really disapproving, I bought like x2 of each eyeliner since I looove eyeliner, maybe she thought I was one those eBay floggers or she wanted to buy stuff herself and thought I was ruining stocks for her?
Anyhow, very excited for this collection!!! I am trying to contain myself since I only work part-time, so I've set myself a budget of £100, so far I want:
Ego (if it isn't too murky looking like Humid, this one def needs a swatch)
Paparazz-She (been wanting an orange for a long time & the apparent blendability of these shadows means that this colour will be easier to work with I hope than some of the chalky looking oranges of past collections)
Centre Stage (really like the look of this from the swatches & again I have trouble blending browns so got high hopes for this formula)
Flaunting It (this looks like an amazing unique colour, prefer lipstick over lipgloss but this colour seems undupable in lipstick form, I know Temptalia said Plumful l/s is but I don't think it's close enough)
Exxxhibitionist (ditto)
It's a sensible list I hope

I've never yet bought a backup of any product (other than accidentally), probably because I know I'm unlikely to get through what I have any time soon.
I've just phoned the Pro shop and ordered the glitters and the Marine Ultra pigment that will be coming out with Wonder Woman - thought it would save me a bit of money. I also wanted to order the mixing medium, but apparently they are out of stock and have no date as to when they will be getting more. She said she thinks they are having problems getting it, but they will probably have some 'within about 6 months'!!
I asked about Peacocky, and she confirmed that it will be available on the first Thursday of February.

Peacocky I pretty much want everything. But a lot of situations in my life are like that ha ha!
WW I think is a bit boring. I will probably just get Russian Red l/s because I don't already have it, Emancipation l/g depending on what it is like in person, Mighty Aphrodite blush, Pink Power msf and maybe a mascara. Quite like the look of the purple or the green.

Where are you going? Bet it's something fancy!
We're going to Disneyland (Orlando) in April, but we only got around to booking it last October I think, so we're not that into forward planning.
Problem is, if you don't book early enough, all the cheap seats and good deals are gone, especially when it's during school holidays.
I'm excited about Peacocky too, and I've just managed to snatch up the light purple shadow on eBay for £12.99 which was one of my favourites, so I'm really happy!

I also cannot wait til Peacocky! I've been excited about this collection ever since we were told that Mega metal shadows will be coming out with it!
There is absolutely nothing in the Wonder Woman collection to grab my attention, thanks goodness, because I have a feeling that my Peacocky haul will be the biggest to date!
These are the items I really want:
Shadows: Top of the Posh, Daliance, Noir Plum, Dandizette, Spectacle of Yourself, Prance, Mating Call and Centre Stage
Lipcolours: Scandelicious, Exxxhibitionist.
It's going to be painful for my wallet, eep. I wonder whether Mac keeps coming up with those big-sized shadows to stop people from depotting so often?
Oh well, since I've missed out on Starflash eyeshadows completely, cos I wasn't into Mac back then, I wouldn't want to miss out on eyeshadows with amazing texture once again.
Speaking of starflash shadows, I bought a Mac Trip Look in the Box set, when I was flying through Gatwick last week, because it came with Smoke and Diamonds and Grand Entrance eyeshadows! For some strange reason it says these are frost eyeshadows? It makes me wonder if Mac has actually changed the texture of these shadows or they just decided not to use the name "starflash" anymore. Since I haven't got the originals, I can't compare, and it's really bugging me. There seems to be absolutely nothing on Mac Trip 2011 collection online, besides the list of the products on Karrie's blog.
On a good note, I've got the set for just GBP 25,75, and that is for 5 products: 2 eyeshadows, a cremesheen glass, Belightful iridescent powder and a full-size zoomlash! I either was really lucky, and they've made a mistake with price, or this is a REALLY good deal for your money!
