Release dates for the UK

Selfridges called me today and said DHL lost my package! I'm fuming! I did think it was strange that it hadn't been delivered yet. The customer advisor said they are going to contact their distribution centre and see if any of the items are still available. If they're not then I'll get a full refund and get them next week from the MAC or Debenhams website.

How annoying! They definitely had everything in stock in the London store on Sunday, but I guess that's not where they send out their deliveries from. Hope you get your stuff or a quick refund and you manage to get what you want from Mac/Debenhams.

I think I might get another mascara but from debenhams (need to collect points!) and hopefully the lady gaga lipstick and gloss.

oh yes - the important points!! i have been buying all my clarins stuff from deb recently so hopefully i will have quite a few points stacked up this month

I'm tempted to get Emancipation when WW arrives on the MAC website. I won't be getting Gaga though - I didn't like either of her lipsticks/glosses. Cyndi was gorgeous, though.

I've just received £20 of House Of Fraser vouchers with my card statement. Shame they don't sell MAC. Think it will either go on Urban Decay or Benefit.

oh awesome! i shall have to have a look at my statement when it arrives! i want vouchers! was there any reason why they sent them to you?

The House of Fraser credit card gives you points on purchases, both from H of F and elsewhere (less points elsewhere, of course) and I use that card for my MAC and other more expensive purchases to build up the points. Every quarter, if you have enough points, they exchange them for vouchers to spend instore, in multiples of £5. I use a BHS Mastercard in much the same way, to get BHS vouchers

They do sell Mac, just not online. The Guildford store has a Mac counter, although I know that's nowhere near you. But maybe you can find a store nearby? Still, UD or Benefit is a good way to spend your money too.

Unfortunately, the Maidstone branch isn't one that sells MAC

Any time I phone MAC, I always suggest that they open a branch or counter in Maidstone lol.

aha! i rarely use mine so i guess that i why i dont get vouchers! lol! i used to use it when i bought clarins from them. but now i buy from debenhams so i get beauty points

 

[Anitacska]

I have a Debenhams credit card as well as their beauty card that I use for beauty purchases (incl. eBay), and I usually get around £10-£15 a quarter to spend in Debenhams as well as the beauty points. Otherwise we use our join Tesco credit card/clubcard for everything else and get vouchers from them. I do wonder why some people just use a "normal" credit card that doesn't give you points/cashback.

maybe i should get a debenahmas credit card seeing as they sell mac now! geneally i dont have credit cards. i have the house of fraser one that never gets used really and one with my bank which is nationwide. i just use my debit card most of the time. when i was younger me and nick got a bit silly with credit cards and we ended up putting loads on them. everything is paid off now but it did take a good couple of years. that said we are both soooo much better with money now. we actually have savings! lol!

[/quote] Im thinking of getting a debenhams credit card now! Anything to make makeup purchases cheaper! although considering how obssesed I've become with makeup over the past year I think it might make me buy more instead of save :/ lol

lol! yeah that is the worrying thing!!

 

[Anitacska]

The trick with credit cards is to pay the balance off in full every month. We have direct debits set up for ours, so we don't forget. I don't spend more because it's a credit card, but then we're not strapped for cash, if we had a tight budget, I might not use it that much.

 

[Eleentje]

I have the same. Money always goes out in the end of the month, so i know that if I will overspand, I'll feel the pain not long after!
When I have only got my cc, I spent it only on my flights. Now that I've picked up my make up addiction again, I do go a bit crazy sometimes, but nothing I can't pay off.

Loving your new avatar pic, Lou!!!

Bluewater has a MAC counter in the House of Fraser and from Maidstone it would probably take around 30mins to get there in the car
