I'm so bad I just ordered Summershower and Ever Hip from MAC.co.uk *sigh* just a few minutes after I thought I had convinced myself that I don't need it!



Where did you find the FF lipsticks on the MAC site? My laptop is not cooperating grrrr

Not sure what's happening. I just ordered via Debenhams, but I went to have a look at the MAC site and whilst I can see the headings I can't see the products - I keep getting told to download the latest version of Flash. I've done this (and installed it of course), and still can't see the products, on either Firefox or Internet Explorer.



Edit: OK, now it decides to suddenly start working *shrugs*

I don't remember them being similar. Maybe it's because of the veining in my particular pot of PA, but The Soft Meow is much darker than my PA.

hmm.. i think i will def skip it then because I like being able to sheer things out instead of building it up

Seriously, I would be so irritated if I ordered online and eventually end up with a humongous nipple MSF or an uneven blush. I'm buying any MES, but in some of the swatches, I saw some MES (was it Golden Glaze?) that was almost completely black with little gold. The most exciting part of mineralize collection is picking out the products, although I know it might agitate the MUA. But hey, I won't be the only one who wants a pretty MSF.

Makes the lips look darn sexy too

What's wrong with Debenhams? I've never had any problems with ordering from them. Plus I get a ton of Beauty Clubcard points!

okay drama over! Re-ordered with MAC and paid £2 extra for the named day delivery - though I ended up switching Smoked Ruby for HoS at the last min...HoS just seemed more 'me'

 

[MrsB]

Oh I'm sure they're just fine I just seem to have a lot of unlucky orders with them. I've had orders not turn up, cosmetics sent in a jiffy envelope - all loose and jangled inside, leading to messy/broken items, I've had orders returned to debenhams with no delivery attempted - I get a really good service from MAC so just prefer to order direct.

I saw a youtube video where someone had two Mineral Mode MES, and they looked completely different. That's really the downside of ordering online with these mineral products, you never know how the one you will get swatches. My Petticoat has so much veining, where others are a lot lighter. I want GG too, and I'm hoping for one with a lot of gold, because I don't wear dark eye makeups, I want it to look like a dirty gold on the skin rather than black with gold shimmer.

How weird. My orders from Debenhams are usually excessively packaged, like in 2 jiffy envelopes and an extra bag. Also never had any orders that didn't trun up. Maybe it's your postman/delivery man rather then Debenhams in that case.

That's so wierd, I'm the opposite! Nothing but great service from debs, and a lot of hassle from MAC - wrong products, delayed delivery, NO delivery...

Let us know what you think of Hint of Sapphire when you get it, it's one of the mes that I'm planning on checking out instore on Thursday

I think we are talking about the same video. These MES looked just utterly smoked - almost as in "MES-went-wrong" kind of black. I hope you get a good batch when you order it. Can you return it if you don't like them?


I just had a look at the UK MAC site. The thumbnail pics of the MFS crack me up. LOL.

 

[MrsB]

Aside from the poorly packaged items that were sent in a single jiffy, you may be right.

Yes, of course, you can return anything at Douglas and MAC online and send it back for free. I don't know about Breuninger, I think you have to pay postage if you return something, or maybe beauty products can not be returned at all.

Lol, yes, Pearl looks...interesting

 

[MrsB]

Wow! It's strange how we all experience CS differently, its such a shame as it should be standard. My named day is Wed for delivery, so should be able to post some piccies Wednesday and a little review so you can compare it with other reviews out there

 

[Alisha1]

^Hehe mine are always packaged with so many layers its like opening a pass the parcel!

 

[wishonastar]

I've never had a problem with Debenhams packaging either. Sucks that every order for you has gone wrong. I've got some of the new Bobbi Brown collection in the post from them, hopefully that will be packed well like my other parcels.
I'm still waiting for my confirmation email. I hope I get it today. I always do this and worry with my MAC orders and I was hoping that because it was with Debenhams it would be less worry. I didn't really want to order my two Ever Hips from MAC due to the fiasco I had last time I made an order for two of the same lipstick.

The 235 brush is the first thing to sell out on the MAC site
