Yes please!! I have a HoF rewards card as well (not a credit card - don't trust myself!) but when I purchased YSL Elle today I completely forgot to use it :/ LOL! The best thing is that if you order before 12 you can get delivery on the same day for some postcodes! And the service is free if you spend over £100!.....did I say I was over MAC....LOL

Yes! Just did a review (of sorts) on them. I got Bronze Black and Jade Black. How about you? The shades are gorgeous. Really love them. So pricey though!I know! that's saved me with MAC orders so many times
I'm going to have to wait til Thursday to see everything in person, I only really want to be getting nubile paint pot so hopefully i'll resist temptation to get back-ups of Feline and rain of Flowers, and all the lipsticks..
Are the mattenes and the new colours of sheen supreme permenant?
-I'm hoping to get them next month instead of now- already blew the beauty budget on one of the new YSL gel liners amongst other things!
Has anyone else tried those yet?

That's pretty cool. And about the new Guerlain collection too! I though it was only due out on the 16th! Hopefully it'll go online soon too.

I just remembered, I never checked if the Art of Powders collection was at the counter at all. Never mind, didn't want to buy them anyway.
I thought I wasn't going to think much of these, but actually, when I swatched the highlight, it was really nice. Smooth and glowy. Not frosty at all. I liked it better then Lightscapade actually! (But I still bought a Lightscapade lol. I may end up selling it though)

Now you're tempting me, lol. But at £34.50 it's still way too expensive. You can get Chanel or Guerlain for that.

It was nice lol. I'm not enabling though! You're right, it's way too expensive. As much as I liked it, I didn't even consider it. I'm hoping to get the Xmas Guerlain Meteorites and I'm sure they'll give me a just as (if not better!) glow!
MAC is getting way too pricey for my liking. It's not Dior, Guerlain, Chanel or G.Armani but I feel the prices are heading that way. To be honest MAC is losing a lot of business from me actually because I can't afford a huge amount and I usually end up thinking 'Well for that price, I may as well get *insert high end brand name here* instead'. Which is a shame cos I do like MAC, but they definitely aren't my first choice.

I thought HoF will get it first like they did the summer collection but Debenhams had them out and HoF didn't today.That's pretty cool.
Selfridges also never had MAC Fall Colour out because they hadn't received the stand

Maybe she backed out due to possible accusations of selling out to cosmetics industry?
I noticed that Posh Paradise went up on Debenhams website, so I ordered Genuine Treasure, Treasure Hunt, Half-Wild and Deliciously forbidden.
Still no sign of the darker pigments, but I may try out ordering with paypal on Mac website. It looked like it would allow me to pay, so that's great news. (Thank you, Laura!)
I am really confused why there is such "patchy" availability in these several collections at different stockists.

That's great news about MAC being sold online at HoF, Alisha1. Like the other sites, they don't seem to have the full collections, but I will keep watching. I like that it tells you how many they have left, although numbers seem very low - 3 or 6 perhaps of certain products, or maybe that's a ruse to persuade you that you need to buy now to avoid missing out?
lol! yeah maybe it is. amazon sometimes say if there are less than 10 of the item you want in stock which always gets me to buy right then and there!

LOL, yes, to us it's like waving the red cloth in front of the bull, isn't it?
Oooh, glad to hear that the calendar idea got approved
Shame about the text not really showing up in full (or even just the title). Is there a way to manipulate it somehow?
Did you only put the UK release dates in for now?

hhmm I shall speak to the web guys about that and see if I can get more to show up. And at the moment it looks like on the press released the holiday stuff is coming out on the same date everywhere which is rare. So until Janice gets the official one I have left it as isLOL, yes, to us it's like waving the red cloth in front of the bull, isn't it?

Its not available at the counter so online only. Its the same size packaging as the MAC Quads.......not convinced?? hehehe!!
I collected mine today and its pretty I only got Genuine Treasure Paint Pot and Ash Violet Fluidline from the new collections. I didnt get any of the lipsticks as I couldnt get the nude colour I want, nevermind! I did splurge a little at the Chanel counter and got the new foundation brush, the Mat Top Coat polish, a Mascara Base and an infinite length mascara. The sales lady's eyelashs were awesome so that sold me hehe! She also told me that the Holiday Collection would be out on 4th November.
Great news about MAC being on HOF website, I have a Fraser Card and prefer the points system to Debenhams, and theres also buy and collect so no more Yodel YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what really happened, but I was told by the Mac MA that now they have new images for the stand, or rather the same images but without CS's name on it. But why she didn't want her name to be involved I don't know. Tey're still using the images though.
Has anyone managed to buy rare Exotic yet? It's not available online at all and the Kingston counter didn't have it either.
