UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

Beautycool, the handling fee charged by Royal Mail is £8, regardless of how little or how much is charged by Customs.  Over the last couple of years every package I've received with a value over £15 has been stopped and charged, even if it was only just over the £15.  £15 doesn't buy much makeup. I bought some DVDs in a sale - ones you can't get in this country - and unfortunately the company stated on the Customs slip the full, pre-sale, price rather than the sale price of the DVDs, so I got a hefty charge that time  

My friends and family who send me stuff Put cosmetics on label or what ever it is On there The last box I had from my other friend was about 100 dollars or more but think she put on it like 60 dollars not sure And it weighed a ton I did post a piccie before It had the nars pallete in x and mac playland etc I have never been stun as of yet ( touch wood ) and I wouldn't wanna be I'm sorry to hear about the custom charges such a bummer We go to the states every year for last past ten or more years Apart from last year and this year as have had a house to fork out for ( stamp duty etc ) and last year a wedding We went to maldives loved it But I wouldn't change going bk to the states love it love it Miss it it's our second home Hubby always asks where we wanna go next Have to say Orlando again lol Maybe next year sighs and wishes lol

Always worried about custom fees and always panick about my fees Hubby said if I got caught depends on how much in the box ( ie 100 dollars worth he said u pay a percentage or you get charged a amount every dollar or something I cannot think what he said ) x

Up to a certain amount you get charged VAT plus Royal Mail's £8. Above that you get other Customs duties as well, I believe.

I've never been to America and could never afford a holiday abroad. I also have no family that have ever been there or live there, so I'm stuck with UK prices. My sister lives in Australia, and I believe prices are even higher there.

Hello everyone A novel romance is inly few days from release. Who is excited?

 

[ghopkins91]

I can't decide if I'm excited or not! I was but I'm still sooo undecided on what I want! Will have to have a trip in store to see what are you planning on picking up?

 

[Wattodolly]

Does anyone know when the mac Brooke Sheilds collection is being released here?

 

[lily89]

I was just planning on picking up YTL and FE plus Iam still undecided about GK. I am trying to go easy on this collection as I do not want to go bankrupt as we still have few more collections to battle with lol What are you eyeing up?

 

[beautycool]

Hi ladies I got all my stuff when USA released I'm just after good kisser maybe . Maybe one of the quads not sure what one yet And some of the electric eyeshadows got the pink one and the super watt so maybe the purple one and another And some of the liners But liners are permanent I heard so I'm not in no rush I need the money for Simpsons release this week in the USA so I'm hoping I get chance

 

[ghopkins91]

What are you eyeing up?

I definitely want FE, I love the colour of YTL too but I just can't do cremesheens, I always regret buying them! I'm stuck between some of the electric cool e/s and I like 2 of the quads. I don't think I've ever felt so indecisive about a collection! Maybe its a sign that I don't need anything (HA! Who am I kidding??).. I'm sure I'll walk out of Debenhams with a bag full!

Is it being released in Debenhams on Thursday? (I'm a bit out of the loop, haha)

No, should be online this Thursday & in store the following Thursday, I think. I guess you never know with MAC but generally they seem to be online last Thurs of the month and in store on the first Thurs of the month.

When I rang MAC counter close to me the lady told me that all the new collections are always released on fisrt thursday of the month in store

 

[PeachTwist]

So I've been gone for ages -- does anyone know the release date for the MAC Artificially Wild collection in the UK? I'm interested in the shadows and one of the blushes.

I'll be grabbing a few things from the collection, I will be getting yield to love and a novel romance lipsticks along with one or two of the electric cool eye shadows... I am tempted by good kisser but I have so many lipsticks that are similar in colour so I'll probably skip that one.
