:werd: .....what' s going on with this collection???
Well I only bought Cream Soda and I haven't tried it yet but I think it'll work a lot better than Immortal Flower. Boyfriend Stealer wasn't even available on the Douglas site, it said ''coming soon'' but now it's completely gone so I guess I'll have to go Amsterdam Monday. :smash: I refuse to order on the Bijenkorf site (shipping) and the MAC site (shipping + very slow delivery).
The Pearlmattes and OOO weren't on the site either.. and probably even more things were missing.

I have been checking online, waiting for the collection to come to Germany and they aren't showing anything. I took a chance and went to Douglas today and they had the whole collection out with a few items already sold out. I was able to get the one and only thing I wanted: Betty Bright, so I was really happy. It can be a challenge when the release dates get changed around or things don't show up when you think they will.

Yes I've finally caught up with this thread! I got most of my goodies today:
Pigments in Cheers my Dear and Lucky in Love
Blush in Prom Princess
Lipsticks in Betty Bright, Ronnie Red and 2x Daddy's Little Girl

Yes I know Ronnie Red...I couldn't say no to it even though I tried. Reds hypnotize me
sigh.gif

I tried on Cheers my Dear on my lids. I applied it with mixing medium and then a tin layer dry on top. The texture is divine! I can't wait to try Lucky in Love, since it has the same texture when swatched. I also love the colour of Cheers my Dear. I was not sure if I wanted to get this, but I'm really glad I did.

On my way from the US are Spoiled Rich and Veronica's Blush. I'm also going to get Flatter Me once it arrives at my counter. They told me that they would get the pearlmattes and they have my name and number and will call me once they're in and put 2 aside for me. I will only keep one, the other is for my makeup friend. I swatched Spoiled Rich at my counter already and it had very nice pigmentation.

Also today was the opening of the renewed counter. It's bigger now and that's very nice, because you won't bump into someone else that easily anymore. For the opening the first 30 costumers got a free lash application and obviously you could keep the lashes, so I actually got free Mac lashes! I chose the number 33 lashes.

Well you had a big haul, that's the way to go (you have helped the economy back on track)!

Haha I've been trying to do that for the last 3 years or so, but it isn't working very well, is it?
It's not a new counter. The bijenkorf in Eindhoven renewed their whole cosmetics section (we also have Bobbi Brown now!) and the Mac counter got bigger. The cosmetics section looks very chique now I think. I'm sorry I don't have pics. I didn't have time or think about it actually. I'll try to remember next time, but they were very natural looking.

in the center of my lips with it, i cant get an even application with it

if i want it to be true to it's sheer formula, i either have to do a light application, or use a lip brush. the mua who helped me with it suggested using prep+prime, but i haven't bothered the last few times i wore it. when i feel like a more opaque look, i just put a liner underneath (currant looks awesome).

I hope the stores will have anything left on Monday when I'm in Amsterdam (I doubt it), I just want to see what Betty Bright and Ronnie Red would look like on me! Hopefully I can pick up my Daddy's Little Girl on Monday. :)

Congrats on your hauls, girls!!

I can't believe how quickly everything sells out over here :/
Luckily I've already been able to purchase Betty Bright during to my trip to London a couple of weeks ago. I'm having the skipper's remorse about the pearlmattes, though.

I decided to have the lipgloss Strawberry Malt. Generally I do not like lipgloss, I prefer lipsticks, but SM looked so interesting on the swatches that ... At the end of the week I should have it.

I'm so upset.
I just was cleaning and we threw stuff in the dumpster.

10 mins later, I realized that I accidentally threw away my back up of Girl Next Door.
It's brand new, in the box and it's somewhere in the dumpster. I had it sitting on the couch arm, next to my empty boxes from the other products, because I'm a genius and can't seem to put things where they should go.

I actually got into the dumpster and was trying to look for it, but the trash is so gross that I can't even tell what's what. There were literally spiders crawling out of peoples trash bags and cigarette butts everywhere too. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy, climbing into the dumpster like that.
I looked through the bag of garbage we threw away and it's not in there. It's not in the box of trash either. I found both empty pearlmatte powder boxes and the empty lipstick box from my Ronnie Red. The empties were in there.
But no Girl Next Door.
I'm so upset right now. I can't believe I just did that. It's so stupid.

Ya, I'm glad I at least have the one I've been using.
It just is so frustrating because I feel like I might as well have just taken the money I spent and threw it away. =(
Today's been a sucky day anyways, and this just makes it suckier
