Release dates for the UK

[Anitacska]

How very inconsiderate of them, Lou!

I have no idea what I want from Quite Cute, other than all 3 blushes and possibly the quad, I'll need to see swatches and see the collection in person too as the plushglasses seem to light and not sure about the lipsticks either.

i am getting so frustrated with mac not releasing info early. do they not know i need to make my lists?!

after hearing about the blushers having a white cast i shall only be getting the lavender. i did want the green heart one but it is only good as a highlighter so that is money saved! and yes the plushglass are a little sheer. but i do like the one i have! i shall get the quad for sure and the one blush and two lippies. i need candy yum yum in my life!

I finally got the cash back on my card from Debenhams today for the Canceled Pink Cult blush, seriously Debs that is not on. Anyhoo, I have £30 extra this month (thank you Thunderball) plus the refunded cash from Pink Cult, so thats my goodies from Quite Cute paid for. I'm waiting for more swatches to come out before I decide to cut any.....So far all three are still on the list.

The censorship is getting Ridiculous.......Mac are really turning customers away. This time last year I was spending £60+ a month on Mac. This year all I have spent £11.......................

exactly! i find myself reading up on other cosmetic companies more and spending my money on other brands because i don't have as much mac stuff to look forward to!

I totally agree that it sucks, but on the other hand I assume they must be doing it for a reason. I'm sure they lose a lot of business via counterfeit products, and one way of keeping a step ahead of the counterfeiters is to protect any new product development from being seen until close to launch. Yes it makes it harder for people like us who look forward to every new collection, but we probably don't represent the bulk of MAC's customers and unfortunately they have to protect their bottom line. (Sorry, just playing devil's advocate here!)

oh no you totally bring up good points! it is just annoying to me! but ignore me because i am being a whiney brat!

 

[Eleentje]

Lol, Lou, you crack me up

My real name is just Elena and your pronounce it Ye-lye-na But all my friends prounounce it as "Elaina". And Eleentje is just a derivative for my name in Dutch. It's the same kind of idea as Anitacska in Hungarian.

oh that is so cute!! i don't know the meaning of my name. i shall look it up. ok apparently louise means famous warrior and comes from Germany! lol!

My uber excitement with Mac has decreased a lot straight after peacocky. Other brands started getting my attention with their hot new releases (yes, I'm talking to you, MUFE, Chanel & Dior), since I no longer spend all my time on Mac collections threads.
I didn't even spend much time at Mac counter at Gatwick duty free yesterday. I've checked out Sheen supreme lipsticks, but they are too creamy and runny for my liking. When I swatched a few on the back of my hand, quite a lot of the lipstick came off :S And they were a bit sticky? I wonder if it was just too warm there or what.

oh well your real name is lovely! and i had a friend called Elaina and she was from estonia. Perhaps that was just a name she gave to people so that we had no issues pronouncing her real name?!

and yes MUFE is an amazing brand! so you are spending your money well when you buy their products! Dior i used to be into however i haven't bought any of those products in a long while! and Chanel is a brand that i want to get into but sadly i don't think i am rich enough! lol!

^I feel quite robbed when I pay £40 at Mac and get 2 or 3 products, goodness knows how beat up I'd feel paying that for one product. I keep telling myself one of these days I will buy a YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick........ a year lusting and still no lippie.

 

[Eleentje]

I always buy the high end stuff either in the Clearance Bin, on ebay, at duty free shops or when local shops have special discounts, cos I would also feel bad spending so much on just one item.
I also only buy stuff I really really want, like the stuff that gets a lot of good reviews or stuff that I keep playing with, when I'm at duty free.

 

[anita22]

Oh no, you're not whining at all - personally I always want to see pics of the new collections well in advance too, that way I can plan ahead!! (Though it's been a long time for me since I bought anything from a LE collection, I seem to rely on MAC for more of the basics these days - powder, concealer, brow gel - rather than colour).

 

[anita22]

Another one here :-D This one's only 29!

 

[LMD84]

i haven't ben buying as much as i usually would either. right now i am wanting a nars blush and a couple of the clinique chubby sticks when they come out next month! so that is what mac get when they don't give us anymore info!

I once saw John Hannah pushing his son in a pushchair in Bentalls in Kingston (where my nearest Mac counter is). Tried not to stare too hard, but did have a good look anyway.
