Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope everyone got some wonderful presents! I had the most amazing present this Christmas: my little niece!!! Anita, can I ask you to CP me Liu-Ling lipstick and another Turandot palette, if you see them at Debenhams tomorrow? Wish I'd checked out the sale earlier, as now everything I wanted is gone

Aaw, how lovely! Congratulations Auntie! Of course, I'll pick them up for you, hope they'll have them. I'll let you know later.

Thank you so much, hun!

Apres Chic seems to be coming online on the MAC site. No sign at Debenhams. Anyone been to the counters today or know when they're coming in store? I have to go to Liverpool to use my pro card! Thanks!

Apres Chic is being put up on the MAC website. You have to look for it in the product sections.

I've just been shopping, walked past the counter, but didn't see any new collections. Didn't ask because it was very busy and I was with my mum.

My shopping trip was a total waste of time and money, there were no sale items at the Guerlain counter in Bentalls and only a very few things at the John Lewis one. Elena, they didn't have anything you wanted, sorry. They also didn't have the voyage powder.

And to top it all off, a crazy cow scraped the side of my new car. Great.

Why the hell is it showing up as lipstick now being £16.50?!

EDIT: I just ordered Hot Chocolate and Haute Altitude l/s.

Wow that's ridiculous. I am only picking up the brush and MSFs. These will be my first MSFs so here's hoping i actually like them. Bit worried about Stereo Rose that it might be too orangey. Saving my lipstick pennies for Strength. Luckily i believe they will be the regular price as will the blushes based on the US pricing.

They are actually only £14 when you add them to your basket!

 

[Anitacska]

I don't know what to get. I'll probably order the MES and then see if I'm interested in anything else when I next go shopping sometime next week. I'd like some of the pressed pigments, but I won't buy any unseen. Also I will wait for Debenhams or HoF to have the collections up first.

I caved in and bought Hot Chocolate and it came up in my basket, checking out and confirmation at £16.50. Wierd. I'm guessing people should go through the general lipstick page to get the, at £14???

The liners are £16.50??? Methinks that whoever's putting them up on the website is a bit drunk!

No - that's just two of them!

Nope - £16.50 is correct!

I and a friend both ordered. Haute Altitude came to £14 and Hot Chocolate came to £16.50.

Friend called up in worry they'd cancel her order. Turns out that £14 is the mistake and they're meant to be £16.50 however they will apparently honour any orders that have gone through at £14. But the price IS meant to be £16.50.

If this is a permanent increase - I'll be finding a different brand. I can't afford £16.50 each lipstick.

EDIT: I just called CS and that was a waste of time. She tried telling me that because it's LE it's more expensive. I said to her that it isn't special packaging so why the price hike as that's usually the only time there is a price hike for LE and she just ignored that comment and just said there's no special packaging but because it's LE it's more expensive. Ridiculous. Again though she did say they'd honour the £14.

I was going to get a lipstick from Apres Chic but if it's more expensive for no reason I won't bother!

 

[PeachTwist]

I'm not impressed but HC was the one I wanted originally and the order is already placed so I'll leave it. If another l/s goes to that price again for no reason though I'll pass. I'm not at all amused.

 

[Anitacska]

The lipsticks are now showing as £14 on the Apres Chic collection page as well, so clearly customer service was wrong.

Hi all was in Debenhams today, pressed pigments in store, some kind of Studio Fix collection and new skincare, think it was mineralized...but that's it. Did get a lovely Bare Minerals Ready palette for half price as a gift for a friend.
