UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[kerry-jane88]

Yeh Iv heard it's quite hard aswell so how some get jobs is beyond me! Like fair enough they all can do makeup well but product knowledge is key surely? I remember going in for a new concealer in nw20 and they had sold out so were trying to convince me to get a nc15 instead saying it would be basically the same!!!? Like NO that's all wrong for me I know whit I'm talking about! I suppose they get away with it so much with people that just trust them because they work for mac...not always the case!

i mean i try not to have too high expectations, as not everyone is like me and has a good memory for names and such, but surely you think staff would have a vague idea of upcoming collections and categorys!
yeah there have been a couple of times ive been pushed to get something that just so isnt my taste im like embarrassed for the sa!
but some people will literally buy whatever theyre told!

that said... i did eventually buy all the things that the SA at estee lauder used on me when i had a double wear match

Haha I do love Estée just wish it wasnt so expensive that said I'm quite clueless with other brands i always wander round the bobbi brown counter with no idea! Lol I should just stick to mac it's quite nice telling the sa stuff they don't know! I bet they hate me though! Haha

Oh dear you girls are worring me, I'm hoping to go to a counter in September and I really want a good experience!! On the other side I've been into the store where my other half used to live and hated it so much, it was such an awful experience it put me of makeup for ages (I'm certain its coming on to two years-ish). Oh and while I'm in mini rant I do not understand the MU artists that work for MAC, I work in Building Control so its MY JOB to know everything to do with Building Control, if you job is a MAC Mu artist get with the blo*dy programme and know what your company is bringing out and when, just plain sloppy. More girls like us who have a keen interest in makeup and the brand should work for them! Ok rant over, just them not knowing about collections ect really annoys me. OH and hope everyone got what they wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!

What counter/store will you be going to?

 

[dancewithme]

Oh, Mac. You can now get into the "we're back" section - but 2 of the lippies I was after aren't listed

Yes, I've finally got into "We're Back" but I don't think there's anything there I actually want and haven't already got. What were the lippes that aren't listed?

Hopefully Manchester, I want to go to Afflecks Palace, so thought I would mix the two.

 

[raych1984]

I caved and got both blushes. In the end, I coughed up £46 for the two of them :/

 

[Sophiephoebe1]

I missed out on this collection my local counter has sold out too! Oh well

Oh no why was it so bad? I totally agree just know your products it's not hard! I do n it's not my job haha! Most the bigger counters Iv been to the girls have been fab (meadowhall & Kingston are amazing! ) but my local (not sure I wanna name n shame incases any artists are members!) they are quite bad to be fair but it is a small counter

I wanted sushi kiss and tangerine dream - plus I think something like "lipblossom" should have been there too. Unless those are US only.

For me the place is a mess, grotty and unsanitary! The one time I went in the ladies never even asked if I needed any help (I was there for over 20 minutes looking around) and when I did ask for help I got so looked down upon, I just left. For me an awful awful experience. I go past the place twice a year as my other half knows I like MAC and asks if I want to go in, but I see the same girls and the whole appearance of the place, shudder and say no. Gah!! Why oh why did they bring out the lippies to, I have such a lippie fetish I'm sure of it, so sad I'm going to have to miss, spent to much this month already. Fingers crossed Lady Danger and Pink Pigeon stay till the 25th when I get paid, big ask I know!

 

[Eims]

Urgh. I was checking all day and by the time it actually appeared what I wanted was gone. HOF next

Oh no that's horrible! I hate feeling intimidated going into places with snotty staff :-( such a shame! I know I'm the same with LS I'm obsessed that and blush but I'd still take LS over blush if I had to! I'm going to a big counter on Sunday so I'm hoping they have them! It's been such an expensive makeup month! Dam you mac!!!

 

[raych1984]

Flamingo, for sure!!

 

[ghopkins91]

I'm semi-stalking from Thailand, is that sad? My local counter isn't launching til tomorrow - mums been there this morning & they said they've got the stuff but it'll launch tomorrow! She phoned in the afternoon to double check too she manages to get what I'm after!

 

[Eims]

I managed to get ONE Dodgy Girl from Brown Thomas. KYY wasn't up at all. Still stalking HOF then

 

[Anitacska]

Ooh, maybe I will finally pick up Flamingo. I know it says they're permanent, but does anyone know if they'll be sold elsewhere as well. Would like to swatch it properly before I buy.
