Paint pots and mattenes are now up on Debenhams. No Rare Exotic though.
Maccosmetics.co.uk don't have Rare Exotic, Fresh Amour or Potent Fig. Does make you think there's been a problem with them, although some of the US people seem to have theirs.
Strange that Debenhams have Potent Fig but Mac online don't! Debenhams don't seem to have the dark pigments, though

I saw Potent Fig at the counter yesterday, so don't know why Mac onlie doesn't have them. Debenhams still doesn't have the bright lipsticks and the pencils either. So weird.

I am extremely dissapointed with Yodel the courier Mac are now using. My lightscapade was out for delivery all day yesterday (to my work address) and when it hit 6pm and it stil hadn't arrived I called yodel and they said to wait until 8:30pm. So I'm waiting after work like a dork and I check the tracking thing again at half 6 and it says that they have tried to deliver but no one was there to accept delivery which is total nonsense as my office is open till 10pm at night and we can see every car/van that enters our estate. Then I called Yodel and spoke to two different customer service people who could barely speak English and couldn't care less that they had kept me waiting. God I was fuming, I hate it when couriers tell fibs like that. Now I've had to change the delivery address through Mac to my home address so goodness knows when I'll get it.
I'm sure when I ordered online before a year or so ago the delivery was next-day even though I hadn't paid for next day delivery. This new company suck.
I looked in the Kingston Mac yesterday morning (as soon as it opened) and like Anitacska said they were all pretty mediocre with the blue veining. I've seen some nice-ish ones this year but in comparison to 2006's lightscapade they all look a bit pale. There were some really WOW coloured ones in 2006.

wow that is so bad however i am not shocked! yodel do suck! they were meant to collect something twice from my work last week and they never turned up. and not to mention the amount of times they have said my item is out for delivery and then it doesn't come! they make excuses like 'oh the car broke down' and crap like that and then rather than sending it out the following day it takes a further two days to be delivered! dhl (who were bought out by yodel) were equally as crap imo. mac really do need to go back to dpd! they are by far the best courier service! we also tried using city link at my work and they are crappy too - the packages always arrive damaged because they don't take care of them. dpd have never delivered anything in bad condition, super quick, pretty cheap as well as giving great service! once they forgot to pick an item up for me so they actually sent a taxi from mansfield to lincoln with the item! must have cost them a bomb but they did it!
wow that was one big rant!

Haha that was indeed a big rant, but I completely get what you are saying. We too use a smaller independant courier at work and they are amazing. They really go out of their way to make sure things arrive on time.
URGH YODEL. Whenever I think about last night it makes me so mad!!! My boyfriend, bless him, had to run me a bath and give me about 4 cups of tea before I'd calmed down. I just HATE all the excuses as you said. "the car broke down" YEAH RIGHT! I would rather just hear "oh sorry, we are busy, didn't get around to it" than some crappy made up excuse. After looking at their website it makes me laugh how the whole niche in the market they have tried to fall into is 'delivery that keeps you informed every step of the way'. It's all very well telling me my parcel has moved from one end of a warehouse to the other end of a warehouse but there isn't really any benefit if it just flags up how unreliable you are!
And breathe......

My MAC order says dispatched but there is no Yodel tracking number, it was dispatched all yesterday and still hasn't arrived yet either! It's so frustrating isn't it!
I used to get orders in 2 days but I have a feeling I'll be waiting a while longer for my Lightscapade

How annoying! I love DPD too, Nails Inc use them and they always text you to say what 2 hr window you should expect them in, and they always turn up then!
Hey, you were at Kingston too? We must live pretty close to each other then. Actually I wanted to say yesterday, when I got there about 10 am or so, I was pretty much the only person there, except for a woman looking at the perm lipsticks. So obviously there's not been a huge rush for Lightscapade.
I think if we didn't have a comparison, we'd still say Lightscapade's pretty, but yeah, the old ones were really wow! I used my new one today and it's fine, and it does have a lot of muted colours, but nothing like my old one.

yeah you are right - if we had nothing to compare it to we'd be over the moon. but sadly i know how great my original one is!How annoying!

My parcel has arrived! There isn't much difference between the two Lightscapades, I'm not sure which one to keep!
Apologies for the iPhone pic but I'm about to start getting ready to go out tonight!
I also got Porcelain Pink, it's got quite a bit of gold shimmer in it so it'll be reserved for Fridays and nights out!

I went in store to see the new collections and I only picked up Rain Of Flowers np! Lol I even swatched everything and decided I didn't need anything but the polish was so pretty I couldn't go home without! Iseriously think I'mdrifting off MAC, its just wayyy too expensive for me! Not to mention the stress of buying something before it sells out *sigh*
Oh and also the Guerlain holiday collection was out in Debenhams and I was told HoF will have it tomorrow. I never bought anything as there was no one at the counter but I shall be going next week to pick up the blush and Meteorites and maybe the spray thingy depending on how much it costs
Has anyone bought a Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick? I'm thinking of getting a few after my Guerlain haul of course

^Thats the reason I have to cut down! I've been avoiding the MAC forums like a plague! Lol I'm very easily swayed!i keep reading about the velvets and must try one! and that is great you only ordered one thing
I'm kinda thinking now that all 3 things that I want from Guerlain are essentially highlighters :/
