UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

soooo i had some back 2 mac s to do yesterday, i had enough for 2 lippies

i was in selfridges manchester
couldnt find any that i liked and they didnt have heroine for me to try so i just went with hot tahiti

took my six depotted eyeshadows without a blink
sadly they didnt have hot tahiti so i went to house of fraser to see if they had it there

i saw they had snapdragon, its not very pigmented but i kind of liked that i could just throw it on for a nice sheen
so i asked for snapdragon and hot tahiti

the lady said i wasnt allowed snapdragon because it was LE
but luckily the man processing my b2ms chipped in and said he heard it was fine so long as they werent in special packaging
which is what i said mac chat had told me twice when id asked on different occasions

so she went away and there was a lot of talk with her manager or whatever, she said her manager said no that wasn't their policy and the mac chat people are just assistants etc
but that they'd do it for me this time
and then they were talking amoungst themselves saying they'd need to get clarification

ooosh! wow, not my fault your company tells people different things!
i mean they couldnt really have said no because of the mac chats i could have showed and even the guy at the till said it was fine

but i think i read on this thread or another that they actually are changing the policy (in teh uk at least) that you cant b2m for an LE lipstick?

i certainly wont be trying to b2m for an LE lippie again, cant handle the shade!

MAC seriously need to get all their staff up to speed on the b2m policies!

I had the same conversation, B2Ming for Snapdragon, Rose Lily and Dreaming Dahlia a couple of weeks ago. As I'd B2Med for Carnal Instinct only a couple of months ago, I kept going until they admitted it was fine. And then I had an argument about whether travel-size containers were eligible...

Thank you to the person who told me that Heroine is now at counters. I went and looked at it last week, but ended up being lured away by the warm neutrals palette.

That was too gorgeous to pass up.

I'm now looking at some of the Indulge stuff which Debenhams still has in stock. I wasn't interested in Palace Pedigree back in the autumn, but I really want it now. Hell, I don't really need to buy groceries, do I?

Free UK express delivery on Beauty at Net A Porter with the code WIMH01 until 2nd April. I've just bought Burberry Pale Barley eyeshadow

I can't decide what to use my £5 Debenhams beauty reward towards... any suggestions?

One of the new Chanel quads maybe? They are £40 though. I'd probably use mine on a Givenchy lipstick/cream shadow.

Went into MAC at Liverpool today.

B2M'd for 6 lipsticks. Creme d' Nude, Creme Cup, Blankety, Up The Amp, Kinda Sexy and Heavenly Hybrid. Had no issues B2M'ing for anything. Also picked up Stereo Rose as I keep missing it.

The staff were really lovely even though the store was quite busy and super helpful. More than happy to go back to them and make them my go-to store.

Holla if you see it hit debenhams!

It's there - and I got the warm one on my points . Tempted by the other one too, but I'll see what I think of the warm one first

They really are beautiful you'll love it

I picked up the yellow CC loose powder yesterday to try and combat the red/pinkiness of my skin very good so far!

Boots now have those new Clinique blushes with the flower design on (Cheek Pops?). The GWP is running at the same time, but unfortunately one purchase has to be skincare, and I've got more than enough of that already.

Givenchy summer is up on Harrods as an exclusive right now. They are also selling other country exclusive Le Rouges - 302 Hibiscus Exclusif (Germany) and 304 Mandarine Boléro (USA).

I'm so tempted by the bronzer!

Oh my God, I'm shocked, I've just sold my What Joy! lipstick (from Glitter and Ice I think) on eBay for £31.75! Seriously?!

Not that I'm complaining, lol.

 

[rockin]

Yesterday I spotted the MAC Warm 15 palette on House Of Fraser's website. It's not there now. They can't have sold out already, surely?

I've ordered the Cool palette from Debenhams

 

[Anitacska]

My joy was short lived, turns out the buyer isn't planning on paying for the lipstick. Argh! I hate eBay!

Wouldn't surprise me, hof online usually has low stock of mac products. Im sure they'll restock at some point.

Annoying, why do they bid if they aren't going to pay? :\

Apparently her Paypal account has been blocked. Hmm, funny that.... Offered it for second chance offer to the second highest bidder, but they came back asking for it for £25 delivered. Not blooming likely. Will relist next weekend.

£25 isn't that bad really considering it sold for £14 at the time of release. If they paid for shipping it'd be a nice £11 bonus!

Well, yes, BUT eBay takes £2.50, Paypal takes £1.50 or so, plus postage another £4. I'm already down to £17. Seeing that people bid it up to £31, I'm now not willing to let it go for less than £25 plus postage.
