UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Beabea93]

I wish I'd ordered from Debenhams now! I didn't know about the free orders for all beauty card holders, I'll definitely remember that £4.95 shipping for standard delivery with Selfridges, pfft! I'm excited to receive Sweet Experience and Toying Around though from the Playland collection

I got my Pedro Lourenco order. I received Gold Mirror instead of Mirror.
When I phoned customer services they said that they would send me the correct gloss immediately (free).
They were aware of the problem at the warehouse and have now apparently fixed it.
This is why the collection took so long to appear on the main page of the web-site; they were re-boxing all the lipglasses.
Hopefully this means if anybody now orders from Mac.uk they will get the correct product.
This is what I was told anyway !

Just got a phone call from the other half to say my MAC order was at home, so I will be doing swatches of True Red tomorrow probably as my hair is crappy today lol!!! So excited its been ages since I bought anything MAC, went on a huge haul for Archies girls and half the stuff doesn't suit me , argggggg wana go home NOW!!!!

Nessy- sorry I'm not able to quote, for some reason my phone is messing up when I try to. Anyway, I agree about America, as much as it frustrates me having to wait for releases it does help alot getting to see photos and hear everyones opinions. I have Blacktrack fluidline but really don't like it. I just can't get gel liners to work for me, I prefer liquid liners. I don't know what it is but I've tried lots of gel liners and different brushes but I just can't get a precise or strong enough line with them. I'm too much of a perfectionist I think and it drives me mad not being able to get them to look the way I want. They look great on other people though. Nikou- I didn't realise you could get student discount at Hof? Is it just with unidays or can you get it with an NUS extra card? My boyfriend works at uni of Manchester and staff can now get NUS extra cards. It's saved me so much money as I shop alot at Asos and Topshop. Btw for anyone interested Asos have 25% off for students, it ends 9am tomorrow.

I already have Lady Danger, so decided to skip True Red.
I would be interested to know how the amplified formula feels and wears, as matte lipsticks can be so drying.

Hmmmmm I wouldn't even know where to start about the fluidlines I am 100% a liquid liner girl, so I guess I just have to bite the bullet and try them and if they don't then I guess I could try and sell them. Don't know whether you can return anything if it doesn't suit! These are the times I wish I was right by a MAC store or at least they had one over here. Quote:Originally Posted by ElizaMay

In store you can use your NUS extra card. You used to be able to use it online but now they've changed it to only unidays online and you can only use that if you have a university login.

I like the strobe cream - when I'm looking tired I mix a tiny amount of it with Select Moisturecover and blend it out around my eyes. Unfortunately I panic bought True Red (&the orange chromagraphic pencil to hit the free delivery amount) before deciding on getting Ruby (and this time the blot powder to try sort out my shiny nose and hit the delivery amount) so didn't reach a £40 purchase :-(

Ahh hate when that happens thanks for the advice~

 

[MissLiLaC]

Now P.L Collection is on the main page - Hush is the first (and only) item to sell out so far.  Ugh, Can't it just be the 10th already so I can grab my goodies from Osbournes and then I think I'm done for the year... or until a new exciting collection is announced!

Aahh yess come onnn 10th!! I hope its the 10th online~~ what time is the most popular launch time? 12pm?

That's great thank you! I guess I'll be sending the bf to house of fraser after work from now on to get my make up, especially Mac. Shame you can't use it online anymore that would have been so helpful.

Ok ladies, slight swatch time, bear in mind I think I'm a NC15 still or at least that's the foundation I used, with medium dark powder finish. So here is True Red, it's amazing seriously a lovely lovely red, so smooth to put on to. Going out to see some fireworks(food and drinks nom nom) so will how the lippy fairs



Also while I am here (I'm also going to put this on the Lorde thread) below is a photo using Cyber do you guy's think I would suit the Lorde lippy?????
P.S this is the only decent photo, in the other one I look like Hatchet Face from Cry Baby lol

Thanks I love them to and they suit me and my personality very much lol

Cannot wait to see how TR looks on you! I love it very much!!!

 

[rockin]

Ooh, I love your glasses, Nessy. Where did you get them?

 

[trop50]

I'm going mad waiting for Playland to launch on HoF, anyone know when it'll be on? I want to use my student discount too! I've got half a mind to order it from Debenhams but now I feel like I've waited this long so I might as well wait a little bit longer and just get the 10% off.

 

[Nessy]

Ooh, I love your glasses, Nessy. Where did you get them?

Thanks! I love them too, they are from specksavers (of all the places) Just done a search and cannot find them so maybe they don't sell them anymore lol.

I've always wanted a vintage pair (and I actually own several) but they are all too small for my face and make me look soooooooo fat, these are the only one's so far which make me look half decent lol. I would love me some Dame Edna glasses though

 

[beautycool]

Nessy brill swatches thank you Hun

Same problem here. I used to wear a pair of winged vintage glasses, but now I've put on weight and my face has changed shape they are much too small for my face. I might check out our local Specsavers, on the offchance. Thanks.

 

[kerry-jane88]

Yay nice pics [@]Nessy[/@] I think lorde lippie would suit you

 

[staceface]

Grr dying my hair purple and it's all over my face. Who needs dodgy girl lippie when you've got a lilac face!
