Not sure on By Request, thankfully I got the lovely purplerinne to CP me the eye shadows so I already have those (and you NEED them). I am kind of now tempted to get Moxie though which I wasn't going to get due to it's matte finish but I hear P&P would make it bearable on my already ridic dry lips that exfoliating & moisturising does nothing for. To be honest though if I miss Moxie it won't be the end of the world.

That's true, we are prepared - which to be honest, we shouldn't have to be. I mean for it to sell out in the US in 1.5hrs? Gotta be record time other than Bloggers Obsession which I still think maybe had more stock after that amount of time. I think it's ridiculous they haven't restocked though which is what freaks me out lol!


I was planning on Moth Brown and multiple Jetes, but you may convince me to try Guacamole!

I know we won't get re-stocked here, which is why I'm planning to buy from wherever gets it first - I don't want to wait for a certain website to get it and then have stuff sell out and no other options!

I'm really not fussed about this collection, only planning on getting Legendary and I will want to swatch it first on Thursday anyway, but will be checking the Mac constantly because I really want most of By Request.

Cannot believe that Ebay sellers are selling the MM lipsticks at $55 each!!!!

 

[Michelemu21]

thanks, where in the bay are you from?

Santa Clara : )

The BP is awesome. I used it today. You can use it all over or as a highlighter...it basically just looks glowy... I love it. I want more.

Awesome! I know that if you love it, I will too. Woot!

I remember you saying that. Don't get me wrong, Moth Brown and Jete are gorgeous but Guacamole is beautiful all on it's own in my opinion so you definitely at least need to try it I think!

Yep, exactly. To be honest I guess the reason I've been stalking MAC specifically is because I always get orders quicker with them (if I order after 12pm I get it within 2 days, before 12 I get it next day) and I'm getting rather impatient. Debenhams always takes about 5 days to get to me but I do get points, I've never really tried HoF and I hate paying £4.95 from Selfridges for delivery. To be honest though at this point I'll take anything from anywhere to get it ASAP.

I think Brit Beauty Blogger said the lipsticks would be £15.50 and the blush £19 for the Marilyn collection.

We're not that far from each other, are you going to valley fair for your MM stuff? I'm getting mine at Pleasanton Nordstroms.

 

[xasperadastra]

I love this red too

Would MAC Diva give similar effect on light skintones? I haven't got that one, but was thinking of getting it.

from pictures I've seen Diva looks browner! But is a beautiful color as well!

Oh dear!

 

[erinmichelle87]

No...I decided to try for LG and PB and Showgirl e/s

yup, I am going to try for LG too. If not, oh well.

 

[mousygiggles]

Crap. I NEED a bu of TPC. I love it so much. I also love the BP over Matchmaster 1.5, which usually oxidizes orange but the pink in the powder keeps it from doing that!!! Yay!!!

If that's true I'll probably be skipping. The regular price is £14 and for most special packaging I've only ever noticed 50p in price rise - I'm not paying £2.50 price rise for a photo of Marilyn on a tube when it's the colour I'm after. £19 I can possibly handle for blush as they're usually £17.50 but again I still think it's a ridiculous hike for a photo. Maybe I'm just being tight with my money but unless it's "OMG NEED it" I'm not paying higher prices like that just for a photo. I'm a student, I can barely afford MAC as it is let alone ridiculous price hikes like this. MAC must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing everyone will pay such prices too.

Sorry, meant to say £15.50 for the lipsticks! Source here: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2012/09/mac-marilyn-monroe.html I hope she's wrong and it's just a 50p hike, MAC rip non-US customers off badly enough as it is.

That's a *little* better but I still think £1.50 price rise for a photo on a tube is just robbery. I get that she was an icon, but jesus - we're not all made of money. I was just looking at a review for MAC Prep & Prime Lip from last summer - it was £10.50 according to that person and it's now £12! It's getting to be unbelievable. They do tbh - everyone knows UK/Europe pay pretty nearly double than those in the US.

Is everybody done with MM?

LOL...no...i haven't even bought one item yet! i'm waiting till the launch on thursday...(feels like the pro launch was a million years ago!)
i'm starting to get interested in the lashes now, and seeing dabeautyenablers pics has me interested again in the perfect cheek.
mac-guy, what did you end up getting?


anyway, biding my time with other bright and fun lippies...gulabi this morning, and dear diary this evening in honour of going to see gossip!

 

[Anitacska]

Well, I'm going to bed. Don't think it will be up before 9 am to be honest. I remember collections going up in the evenings (like 9-10 pm) in the past, but not during the night.

 

[HoneyMilk]

Only if I can't get my hands on a TPC blush. If not, that's ok too.

If i'm not mistaken there is someone in the Clearance Bin selling that blush, but not the MM one, if it matters

 

[PeachTwist]

Yep. I'm going too. I'll check when I get up at 7am and again while getting ready and again before I leave and I suppose I'll have to call them on my lunch tomorrow to check but I'm not staying up all night for this. Midnight is my limit and even that isn't enough sleep for me - I always need a good 8-10hrs to feel awake so tomorrow is going to be bad enough. So glad I'm off Tuesday.
