Blimey, they sent the e-mail out at the same time as the collection released?
I've ordered Once Upon A Time and Aztec Brick, mostly for the packaging, but I don't have those eyeshadows anyway.

Since they appear to be in Hong Kong, I would be very wary of having to pay large customs fees, plus the PO handling fee of £8.

A huge surprise to get the email the same day the collection is released! I ordered Once Upon A Time, Aztec Brick and Altered State. I have no need for any more Carbon LOLBlimey, they sent the e-mail out at the same time as the collection released?I've ordered Once Upon A Time and Aztec Brick, mostly for the packaging, but I don't have those eyeshadows anyway.

I found I have Altered State in one of the holiday palettes and the colour isn't that special, so don't need two of them. I mostly bought them for the outer boxes anyway, lol.

I think it might be cause Selfridges tweeted a pic of the collection on a stand

I can't wait to check out the brow collection! I've been meaning to invest in some brow products for a while...! Any idea when they will be released, this coming thursday or the next? Thanks for posting!

Okay so I decided I had to use my points. I was itching for just something new and just had to deal with it.
So I went to UD and got the Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush to use with my UD Naked Skin foundation, as apparently they were made to be used together and then I got the XL De-Slick spray. In total I only paid £11 so I'm happy.
I tried out the brush with the foundation and OMG. I have oily skin, with very large pores... and I swear to god my skin looked FLAWLESS. I'm astounded. I know they said it was made to be used with it but yanno, I was skeptical. But holy crap, it works. I usually use a primer, then a pore-filler and then my foundation. I only tested it quickly before a shower and just put moisturiser on - my pores were gone. Vanished.
I'm thrilled. Yay!

The packaging for the Year of the Snake collection is gorgeous. Absolutely strunning. Typically I got Plumful for free from MAC when they messed up with my AC order otherwise I'd pick it up, lol.
Am kinda interested in the BP but I dunno if I'd use it much so I'll probably have to pass. That box is just gorgeous though. I think this is one collection where if I had it spare, I'd buy it simply for the packaging and I never do that.

I nipped into MAC Liverpool after work and they said the new collections would be on counters Thursday 7th Feb. The MUA was raving about Party Parrot lippy from Strength!

In that case, probably. I'm not near a Selfridges plus just ordered from Mac anyway, so not too bothered.

OMG, sounds like a lot! I can exclude the brow, the volcanic ash and the Nicki, though, which makes it not look quite so bad. Making Pretty is too expensive, so I'll skip that too, and I don't think I want anything from Lightful.
That leaves Strength and Pro Longwear Paint Pots - phew! I think I only want a couple of bits from Strength, but I do want a few of the Paint Pots. If the Paint Pots are indeed permanent, I don't have to grab them all at once, thankfully.
I will probably only get Dangerous Cuvee if the formulation has improved - I remember there were a lot of negative reviews of it before.

I only want 2 of the paint pots, I have the others already. Is Making Pretty the couture collection? That's a skip then. I kind of want the purple lipstick from Strength, but actually I don't even wear the purples I already have and I'm on a lipstick no-buy anyway. I might pick up Ronnie Red from Archie instead as it's so pretty, even though I have plenty other reds too.

Yes, Making Pretty is the couture collection. I think I want Absolute Power lipstick and the blushes from Strength. Thinking about Chilled On Ice, Dangerous Cuvee, Frozen Violet and Antique Diamond Paint Pots
