UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[PeachTwist]

I'm unfortunately going to have to buy online - there isn't a store local to me. I think the only one is in London and I'm up near Scotland so it's just not possible to do so.

My problem is I'm wanting colour and neutrals, which is the issue. I can't decide which to go for first, and which finishes. I'm using swatches online to guess which unfortunately makes it even more difficult because I can't see or feel the colour/texture myself.

Are you buying online or instore? I found it much easier to choose my Inglot shadows in the store. Although you have lots of colours to choose from, there are lots of different finishes as well. Personally I dislike the ones that have a glittery finish, so that already helped me to narrow it down. I also found it easier being able to play with them in person as I could make sure that all the colours in the palette worked together well.

On another note: I did some more damage at MAC today. I went to the Metro in Gateshead which is the closest place that has a MAC store/counter near me (over an hour away) so I got to see and play for the first time. I picked up the Colour Added Quad from Shop/Cook - I have all 3 now. I picked up Woo Me Kissable Lip Colour from the same collection, then picked up an MSFN, Pro Eye Makeup Remover, Syrup and Viva Glam Nicki l/s's. I'm happy. Syrup is such a gorgeous colour, looks like I could use it every day.

Hope you enjoy your goodies hun, I've been meaning to pick up Syrup for a while now amoungst other perm lippies! I really want See Sheer, Cockney, Ravishing and Morange but I doubt I'll ever get around to buying them!

Yesterday when I was talking to the girl at MAC, I'd said how I'd love to work there. Should I take it as a good sign that she told me I should drop off my CV as I'd definitely stand a chance at getting hired? If it wasn't over an hour away - I'd do it.

I have too. When I returned items a couple years ago (foundation that didn't match after one of their SA's said it would) I asked for Syrup to be one of the items exchanged, the lady told me it was d/c'd and shouldn't be on the website so I just gave up... sure enough - it isn't d/c'd at all. -_-

It's a shop the store is an hour away from you - that would be a fun job what with getting to to work with MAC!

I was told the same thing about Capricious but it's still on the website :/

It would, but at the same time the train there and back daily would cost quite a bit unfortunately. I may attempt it anyway though.

Yeah the girl I spoke to at the time said she'd have it removed but never did - it's still up there so I don't understand it at all. :/

I have Syrup. It's a perfect every day colour for me - a MLBB colour. I wouldn't have thought to buy it if it weren't for one of the makeup 'gurus' on Youtube raving about it, but I'm glad I did.

 

[PeachTwist]

Oh good! I was looking for a MLBB colour or just an every day thing I can wear with anything.. it seems like it'll be perfect for it.

Was anyone here into MAC in 2007 for the In 3D collection? I'm really wanting one of the "Lipglass Pencils" that came out then, which I know is impossible to get now but was hoping someone may have it and would be able to tell me if there is a dupe for it? I believe it was called "Neutral Zone" ?

My Yodel delivery man does this ALL the time, signing for things and then leaving on the front step in full view of anyone passing - and once he actually threw a parcel over our (quite high) back gate - fortunately nothing was damaged. He also makes these really snide remarks when he DOES find me in, about 'some little ladies been shopping again' - aaagh, he really freaks me out, and now I order from Debenhams wherever possible, or else from Boots or HOF where they do a Click and Collect sort of thing.

isn't happy with mac

My Mac order with my 3 blushes from arrived yesterday, I tracked it whilst at work and it said it had been signed forr, whoop, my parents were home so fine.

However when I got in I found that my parents had been out over lunch time/early afternoon and that the yodel man must have signed for it himself and left it on the doorstep.

We had a big rain storm yesterday and the cardbox/packaging was so wet/soaked it disintergrated when my parents tried to pick it up, all the boxes are damaged and water has got inside the immortmal flower and lovecloud blushes.

I rung MAC customer services this morning and they basically said its not their problem as the order had been signed for, even though it was signed for by yodel man!

I think that this is the final straw for me, will be ordering any mac from debenhams now.

I am just soo annoyed!

 

[Anitacska]

Ugh, that's creepy. I hate delivery people and postmen, which is a bit awkward as I do a lot of online shopping, lol.

 

[Anitacska]

Yay, I've just managed to snap up the last Estee Lauder illuminating gelee powder from HoF, will be picking it up tomorrow. Hoping they'll have the eyeshadow quint at the counter too, I really want it.

 

[anita22]

I just have everything sent to work. My former colleagues must have realised how much I love online shopping, because when I left my job in the UK they gave me gift vouchers for Amazon and ASOS

It's either that or have things sent to my house, but as hubby is at home most days, he might cotton on to exactly how much makeup I buy

Not sure if you're close to Aberdeen at all, but there is an Inglot store there! The address is: 6 Market Street, Union Square

Ladies, I know I do this a lot but could you tell me what MAC Collections we're expecting next month and even the following month? I'm trying to figure out what I want and if my money will stretch that far!

Thank you in advance =)

Thanks! That's still unfortunately a bit far for me - at least 3-4hrs journey by train. I wish I could justify the £100 price ticket to London to go take a look. I guess I'll have no choice but to just order online or wait. :/

Whoop!

The IKEA men have been and delivered my MALM and ALEX units. Happy! Can't wait till they're put together!

We don't have an IKEA near us, so I've never seen these things in person, but I've read so many people saying how brillian they are.


I don't think the MAC Softsacs are selling very well - I've just had an email from MAC about them lol. They don't look anything special, though.

We don't either - I had to blindly order online. Thankfully they have the measurements so it should all fit okay. I'll get them put up today and hopefully everything will look how I expected

Lol - I'm getting a lot of e-mails from MAC lately about their stuff that's been out a while. Tbh, it serves them right for releasing so much all the time.

 

[toobusytostitch]

Thanks for the idea - I asked at work, and they said it's fine to have things delivered there Saves the creepy delivery guy AND DH seeing what I get

I have the Ikea Alex storage unit and I do really like it, the Ikea store is far from us but I went to see all the storage units in person and I think the Alex just looks more sleek than the others I saw but the Alex cost about £50-60 so I definitely don't like the price!

I know we will be getting MAC Hey Sailor and So Reel/Reel Sexy

I'm not sure about Fashion Sets and the Ruffian collection but I believe the latter will be released in June
