Theres going to be a pre-autumn collection and an autumn collection. The autumn collection is going to be released on august 18th and the pre-autumn still has to be confirmed. The pre autumn collection consists on the two blushes in Rouge and Or, the quad and the red lipstick

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks for this. Have we heard about the autumn one yet? Oh, is that the neutral quad and the 3 nail polishes? I think I might be safe with that.

I'm a bit curious about the brushes from semi precious. The only Mac brushes I have are the Adoring Carmine mini eye brush set that I found in a CCO a couple of months ago, and I absolutely love the 217. I'd love to get another blending brush from Mac, but would I be better off getting one from the perm line or the 234 from this collection? I also really want to try a Mac kabuki, cause I use my cheapo one constantly... better off with perm or LE? Thoughts?

you can't go wrong with the perm 182 kabuki - its an amazing brush and well worth the money. i have had mine years and it still looks as good as the day i first got it!

yeah Chanel do seem to put out quite a few collections but still nowhere near as many as mac!!

i bought a couple of glamour mags today! i got the high beam and pose tint. i didn't want benetint as i have had that years ago and never liked it that much. i love high beam and am pleased to have more!!

 

[HappyInsomniac]

Thanks. I want it, but I cringe at the idea of spending £30+ on one brush. :/ Maybe I'll leave it in my basket, and then buy it with SP and FF stuff, seeing as that's going to be a nice chunk on my credit card anyway.

Thanks for the reminder about glamour, as well... I'd forgotten about that offer. Might pick one up later.

I picked up my glamour mags this morning too, and made myself 10 mins late for work! Got to get the priorities straight.

Going to another town on Tuesday for the new sleek collection, I love the look of the blush and palette and will pick up the pout polish as well.

I am going to get the Mac Semi precious brushes, but not sure if I will get anything else from the collection, i seem to be off MAC and don't always use the MSF's that I have, will see when we get swatches etc whether they entice me at that point.

I completely forgot about the glamour mag! Will definitely pick up a few as I've been wanting to try some of the freebies forever!

 

[sonia84]

I have searched (well I sent my mum) high and low for these freaking magazines and no-one has had any deliveries in. Tried WHSmith (where I get all my freebies), morrisons, asda, petrol stations, newsagents and no Glamour

.

BTW, does anyone know if the pink MUFE aqua liner one is really shimmery IRL? Temptalia's swatches don't look that shimmery and a lot brighter, but I've seen some swatches where it looks more baby pink and very purple toned with a lot of glitter.. so I'm wondering which one is really accurate?!

Right. My MUFE eyeliners arrived last night. I've got 8 (rich purple) and 9 (hot pink)

The purple (I'm wearing it today) is a lot more shimmery, it has a real blue glitter to it. I'd liken it to a nail polish, it's really bold and shimmery (and I love it). Almost purple/blue duochrome.

The pink is a lot less glittery, but gives a lovely even colour. I've tried to photograph it but it doesn't come out right, I'll try again at the weekend. I'd liken it more to a good creamy lipstick, though it doesn't smudge one iota! It has a sheen to it, it's not a flat matte at all, but it's not full-on glitter. I hope that helps! I'm planning to wear it tomorrow (dress down at work!) so I'll try and get some pictures (and yes, I have matching nail varnish (Nails Inc Pascha Pink) and lipstick (MAC Fun n Sexy) to wear).

I tested these both on my hand last night and showered, washed the dishes and washed my hands a couple of times without a single smudgelet. I wiped both off easily with a make up wipe (Boots own cucumber, for those who are concerned) - certainly easier to remove than liquidlast liners, and goes on a lot more smoothly.

Bloody hell, I barely managed to get my hands on some Glamour magazines! Went to Sainsbury's at 12.30 pm and found a woman standing in front of the magazine shelves with 4 Glamour mags in her hand and none left on the shelves!

I asked her if she was getting all of them and she said she was trying to work out which ones to get, and eventually put 2 back. Unfortunately she took the only High Beam that was left which was the one I really wanted! I picked up a BeneTint and decided to go the W H Smith to find a High Beam, but fortunately there were 2 more Glamour mags left by the checkouts and both had High Beam in them, so I grabbed one. Bet there was a stampeed there this morning of women trying to grab them all!

bimey!! people are going crazy for them! at least because i bought mine very early i managed to get the couple i wanted. i gave my friend the extra magazine that i didn't want. made her happy!

 

[AndSparkle]

I waited till tonight for my Glamour rush.. and Asda has none left at all. Seems I might not have been the only one wanting them...

 

[LMD84]

you'd think they would get more in stock due to the amount of money they will make off the magazines!

 

[Anitacska]

I think they will eventually. When I bought my InStyle last month (with the free nail polish), they hardly had any of them on the shelves, but later on I kept seeing them everywhere, so I think they'd replenished the stocks.

I really want to go and buy the new Sleek palette before it's all sold out, but not sure if I can make it tomorrow, I have an appointment at school at 11.00 am and need to be back by 2.30 pm, not really enough time before or after the go shopping. There isn't a Sleek stand in my local Superdrug, so I need to go to Kingston. Argh!!!

Yeah I completely forgot too, which is totally unlike me! I saw some in M&S earlier today, but they were all Benetints, and I wanted the Posietint and High Beam samples. Tomorrow I have to go to Tesco so I will look then & hopefully find them.

It's hard to say without having seen or tried these brushes. They are all duo fibre, which is good if you tend to use a lot of mineral and/or very pigmented products. But I would say my staple brushes are all from the permanent line & for me personally the only brush I'm interested in is the duo fibre eye brush to use with mineral shadows. If you're looking to invest in MAC brushes, my personal staples are the 217, 239 & 219 for eyes, the 187 for foundation / blush, and the angled brow brush (also great for liner). When you say you want to get another "blending brush", do you mean for eyes or face, and for use with what products?

Still waiting for news on where Stila will be available when it relaunches here shortly - it will be announced this week apparently, but word on the street seems to be that it's Space NK again...

 

[banana1234]

my local tesco had loads, i passed, i still have some high beam, and posie tint and i didnt like benetint

some other mag, has a free nail polish with it from some posh brand(leighton denny full size polish), they had a brown, orange and red, they were gorgeous. i almost got that but the mag was £4!!!
