Release dates for the UK

[Anitacska]

Yes, that's the problem, Wonder Woman doesn't come out until March.

oh its all good. it ends on the 28th of feb. so i wont be able to take advantage because i wont be hauling until march from the mac site! doh!

 

[banana1234]

that's probably why they've done it, things must be going slow

 

[LMD84]

yeah things must be slow. in all my years of buying mac they have never really done free samples or anything like that.

 

[Anitacska]

Long may it continue!

Seconded!

I never got anything free from the MAC website - but everytime my boyfriend would order me things (generally for Christmas) they sent him samples.

Hopefully when MAC realise that many people are shifting over to the Debenhams website, they might give us better offers. We've had a pretty raw deal from MAC online for as long as I have shopped with them. Not any more MAC. I've registered my beauty card, set up my Debenhams account, topped up my cashback card and I'm ready to go!

 

[Anitacska]

But surely, even though we're buying through Debenhams, it's still Mac that's getting the profits, right? I mean okay, Debenhams takes a cut, but it's still gonna be Mac's sales. Anyway, I'm happy as I get points and whatnot, but in the end of the day we're still giving our money to Mac.

i'm not so sure to be honest. i think that debenhams will buy the product from mac at cost price and then they keep profit of whatever they sell.

I haven't worn my peacocky shadows yet I had 3 wisdom teeth out last week and there doesn't seem much point wearing make up when I have a big bruise on my jaw line

its nice to hear that debenhams are selling mac, means that I can avoid postage and get beauty club points.

I am on holiday when wonder women comes out so will prob miss out as I fly on the 28th which means it won't be at the airport counter yet.

Does anyone know if airport guerlain counters stock voyage powders compacts, i really want one and refuse to pay £107

?

Just rang a few MAC stores and got a few release dates:

Viva Glam Gaga II - 3rd March
Wonder Woman - 3rd March
Jeanius - 7th April

Don't know if anyone has posted this but thought i'd share

I went onto the Debenhams website to see about the Beauty Card thing, but it seems you have to collect one from in-branch then register it online. What about those people who don't have a branch in their town and only want to order online?

 

[Anitacska]

Ouch!

I'm only just getting around to using my Peacocky eyeshadows, today I'm sporting Odalisque, Dalliance and Peek-at-you.

I got my Beauty card from my local Debenhams last week. I'm not sure if you can order it online because I wondered the same thing too but decided to get the card instore whilst I was out shopping.

 

[Anitacska]

Weird. Can you not phone up and ask them to send you one? Surely it should be possible.

I agree, when I was ordering from the American website, I always could enter the cood for a free mini-zoomlash. It's not the most amazing product out there, but its still nice, I can give those away as prezzies. The UK Mac website also requires you to spend 50 pounds to get free postage, while it's only 25 euro on the German one (although German prices in comparison to UK ones make up for it).

I'm not sure who ultimately gets the profit - whether debenhams pay cost price or MAC get the profit, and I know what you mean about still giving our money to MAC, but if enough people move to the Debenhams website then hopefully it will demonstrate that the 'norm' that the mac website offers just isn't good enough.

I completely second the point about the postage - £50 for free postage is a lot! (I hate paying for postage). Mac is one of the few make up items that don't really attract any benefits - in comparison to other make up brands from department stores. Also, when you compare the offers the US get, even just for postage, the European offers are sadly lacking.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh yeah, I totally agree, hopefully Mac will offer more freebies and/or discounts in the future. In any case, I think it's a win-win situation, because if they don't, I'll just order from Debenhams and get my points anyway.

Yes! Wonder Woman is online at Selfridges. Not only that, but Topcashback are doing 10.1% cashback on Selfridges at the moment

Definitely won't be buying any of the quads at £36.00 each, though, or the t-shirt at £24.50!

 

[LMD84]

yeah they need to do more deals but like yourself i shall order from debenhams to get my points!

oh wonder woman is on the selfridges site! i just hauled my goodies. the only thing i have left to buy is the red make up bag when it come son the mac site. i cant afford that right now. i only bought 4 things but they came to £76 and then there was like £5 postage! crazy!!

 

[Anitacska]

Bloody hell, it's expensive!

£36 for a quad??? They're supposed to be cheaper than buying individually. I'm going to hold out until Debenhams has the collection, or maybe pick up a couple of things if they're still in stock on Sunday when I go to London.

 

[KawaiiPrincess]

Can't believe Mighty Aphrodite is sold out already. I hope I still recieve mine but if not then I'll get it in March. This is what ordered....

Russian Red
Marquise d'
Athena's Kiss

Pink Power
Mighty Aphrodite

Nothing more for me until Quite Cute
