I got the blue and green 17 magnetic polishes in Kingston too, plus got a free 17 set (e/s, eyeliner, lipgloss). Plus I got Blue Storm, Emerald Dusk, Starless Night, Fusion Pink and Neon Orange (not sure what possessed me to buy it, although it's actually surprisingly wearable). I also got Eden Rouge and Deliciously Forbidden mattenes and Imaginary and Treasure Hunt paint pots. No Rare Exotic, will keep an eye out on Debenhams for that, plus I might also get Idyllic and Hyperviolet pp too, and Rain of Flowers nail polish.

They had LOADS of Lightscapades! After asking the MA about 5 times if I can look at a few of them (she did not understand why the hell I want to do that, lol), she took out 6 and they were pretty much the same, bit of colour, but mostly pinky beige. I got one anyway, but it's nothing like my old LC.

My first Debenhams order came with the 2 LCs and they are both beige, one more than the other. One of them the clear plastic circle in the lid has fallen out, but luckily there was no damage to the powder. Not sure if I will keep all 3, but I haven't even swatched any of them (needed to have my lunch and coffee first, lol). I'll post pictures in a mo too.

Obviously not my usual Yodel man today, or I would have had my goodies by now. Looks like I won't be going food shopping today after all, as I've no chance of getting back before my daughter gets home from school.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh well, what's more important, food or make up? Although I think your son and daughter might not agree, lol.

Here are my Lightscapades. I've posted this on the Fall Collection thread, but anyway, here they are again. Top right is my old one. Top left I picked up this morning. I've swatched it against my old one and it does seem frostier and lighter.

 

[rockin]

Quite a difference there, Anitacska!


My Yodel man has just delivered my black box

Wow, Hyperviolet is really dark in the jar! I haven't swatched any of the Paint Pots yet, or Ash Violet Fluidline, but I have swatched my pigments, and I LOVE Blue Storm and Tan (kept meaning to get this one, but never got around to it before because of all the LE collections coming out). I got Deliciously Forbidden mattene, and have just put it on. I like the colour, but it's definitely more of an evening colour for me. It feels nice on my lips, but I will have to make sure I exfoliate my lips before wearing it anywhere as I have a small dry bit on my lip right now and it shows it up. It doesn't seem to have the usual MAC vanilla scent to it.

Mine came too and I'm quite upset. There's a noticeable dent in it. I won't even be able to exchange

I know I can get a refund but thanks what i mean is it's sold out so I can't exchange

From reading people's past experiences, it seems MAC do hold back some stock to allow for things like items arriving broken, so that they can replace them. Give them a call and see what they say.

I'm assuming that you got it from MAC, of course. Don't know what the score is if you bought it from Debenhams or elsewhere

ah i see! well i hope that they can sort something out for you

 

[Anitacska]

As I said, my Mac counter had loads of Lightscapades, perhaps if you phone them, they can get you one from a counter to exchange for. Hope you get one.

My Lightscapade is pretty beige-y too. I had a look at a few of them at my counter but they were all practically the same. There are hints of blue in it, so hopefully they'll become more apparent as I use it a bit. When I went in I couldn't see the Fall Colour display units anywhere so I asked a girl working there and she brought it all out for me. They haven't been able to put the collection out for sale as they didn't have the full displayer, she said. I bought Violetta, Fusion Pink and Show Orchid as well. They're beautiful lipsticks.

Hi there, long time lurker here so I thought I'd finally put up a post (in truth I've always been a bit scared to!)

I have a question for anyone who has both old and new lightscapade, mine arrived today and I was disappointed with it's appearance, I thought they'd accidentally sent me an msf natural but when I swatched it and applied it to my skin it looked amazing. Basically I'm wondering whether the new one looks the same when swatched/applied to the skin even though the actual appearance of the product has changed.

It's by far the best highlighter msf I own, I'm an nw15 so it works well on my skin as a highlighter so I'm pleased I decided not to skip it

welcome to specktra! so happy you have finally posted! hee hee! and to be honest the old and new version do not swatch the same at all. the new version is darker and shows up on the skin more. the old one just added a nice glow and was sheer - which is what i like from a highlighter. i shall post some pics tomorrow because the lighting is dark now!

 

[LisaOrestea]

I had the SA show me all of the Lightscapades (Guildford only had 9 though!) I got the bluest of them but it is still extremely beige and nothing like last time around

It does look gorgeous on my skin though. I just wanted a pretty swirly blue one to look at

 

[Anitacska]

No, I don't think they swatch the same too. Although unlike Lou, I found the new one lighter and more frosty, the old one pinker (mine does have lots of pink in it) and less obvious. Here's a picture of the two swatched side by side, new one on the left, old one on the right. I swatched with my finger and didn't blend them at all. Hope this helps.

You know what's really weird? It's now Thursday and Selfridges doesn't have the new collections up, and Debenhams still only has half the stuff. Wonder what's going on...

 

[sar555]

Looking at those swatches I prefer the new lightscapade as it's the pinkness of a lot of my other msf's that I'm not always keen on. I find my lightscapade to be an off white colour which is neither pink or peach so it will go with any cheek colour. I don't feel so disappointed now.

 

[Anitacska]

Have you tried to call them? I wouldn't be surprised if they had more in stock, since half the collection hasn't even been up, maybe they'll restock.

I got it from Debenhams
