Debenhams are beginning to put up the Mac collections. It seems I'll be able to pop to Kingston this afternoon, so I will check out the edes and the rest of Glamourdaze in person and buy them at the counter, then order the pigment sets from Debenhams later.

Debenhams had the main pictures up in the early hours of this morning (by around 3am) but no products.

I see HoF are putting the products up now, too. I will order through HoF as I will get more points through them, even though TopCashBack is lower.



Edit: How strange. The HoF page had loaded words, but not pictures, and I could see the word Primped clearly amongst the jumble (the CSS hadn't loaded properly). When I refreshed the page and it loaded properly, 'Primped' was gone.

I just got my fluidlines through from the MAC site and i am pretty disgusted that they have charged £1.50 extra just for a shiny outer box which will just get thrown away anyway! I thought they might have at least put a cute sleeve around them like they did for the Shop/Cook collection.

Feminine Edge by the way looks similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pink Gold and as i've read the fluidlines are pretty useless as actual liners it might be worth skipping and picking that up instead if anyone was thinking about it.

Thank you for sharing this. I think I will pick Maybilline color tattoo instead.. Did you get your MAC order with yodel or postman, if you bought online??

With the postie in a jiffy bag which i was suprised about as it's always come in a black box with Yodel before.

A few people here have gotten their MAC packages with posties recently.. I wonder if they don't use Yodel anymore.. I wondered because if my package gets delivered with a postie tomorrow and I'm not it, I can pick it up from a post office on sat, but if yodel will try to deliver, I will have to wait till monday. I doubt I will get it today though.

I love Maybelline's Pink Gold. Is it very close to Feminine Edge? If so, I might pick another Pink Gold instead and save some money. Feminine Edge looks so pretty and sparkly, though

They're not exact dupes but i think close enough. The obvious difference is the sparkle factor in Femine Edge and that it's more pink wheras pink gold is a little more rosey and a bit darker and much more pigmented in my opinion.

 

[rockin]

Sets are starting to appear on HoF. None of the individual items yet, though

 

[Anitacska]

From the swatches I've seen they're nothing like each other. Pink Gold hasn't got glitter in it at all.

I did say they were similar and not exact dupes but here they are side by side:

Pink Gold on left, Feminine Edge is on the right


Sorry not the greatest swatch pic of all time but the light is shocking today and having flash makes them go haywire!

I walked to the counter at lunch, only picked up 2 things as planned, the EDES in stolen moment and natural flirt. I know I will wear these lots.

Stolen moment reminds me of style snob from starflash but a touch darker and maybe a hint more purple?

Counter was empty which surprised me for a launch day.

The brush sets look pretty but I passed as the mineralise one I bought last year have leaked dye. I hope this years quality is better.

Just seen that Sinfully Chic is exclusive to Selfridges, if anyone was looking for it http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Contemporary/MAC

Glamourdaze is finally up on debenhams if anyone is waiting. And there is a points offer on as well... 750 points for £40 spend. Too bad nothing in the collection excites me enough to spend £40 ... only got Superb

 

[rockin]

House Of Fraser are giving a free set of Biba false eyelashes with a £75 beauty spend lol.

 

[rockin]

I don't see the Paramour Pink set on either HoF or Debenhams

If anyone is wanting Endless Night, and wants to save money on it, they still have it on the HoF site at £9. The Glamour Daze version isn't up yet

 

[rockin]

Going to pop into town to take advantage of the Boots points event

 

[gracie90]

Just made my first order from Debenhams - Stolen Moment and A Natural Flirt EDES, the pink brush set, and the Lavish Rose lipglosses. Not sure what else I want!

The Chanel holiday collection is realised on November 9th, right? It's going to be my first time buying Chanel. I just can't resist Stardust and Malice. Do Chanel collections sell out as fast as MAC collections online?

 

[rockin]

Yes, November 9th for Chanel. I don't know how quickly they sell out, though.

Just looked at the MAC site again, and the Divine Desire sets, including Paramour Pink, say Exclusive, so I'm guessing that means only available on the MAC website?
