UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[NiaEveral]

Finally! I can't believe how much I've spent but I'm so happy with what I got. I hope you are all successful in your purchases .

Glad you got you wanted. It so pricey I might have to pass on this collection but in all truth, I just wanted the packaging.

I'm beginning to think that Well Behaved hasn't landed in the UK. It's OOS on MAC site, and doesn't show at all on Debenhams or House Of Fraser sites.

Debenhams have excelled themselves and put Cork eyeshadow in with the MACnificent Me blushes, all under the heading of 'eyeshadows'.

I was in 99p Stores yesterday, and they had some Maybelline cosmetics in, except it was Japanese Maybelline! It has maybelline.co.jp written on the box. There was liquid eyeliner, a duo pack of mascara (seemed to be 2 colours) and eyeshadow. I bought an eyeshadow - the domed kind that looks like the MAC mineralize duo eyeshadows, but the container looks more like a MUA single eyeshadow pot and it's called 'Hypercosmos'. This one is half a blue/lilac solid colour and half a silvery with gold and bronze melange.

Poundland had Barry M Dazzle Dust, but only in colour 96, which is gold.

I bought a japanese maybelline BB cream from a bargain shop and it is simply amazing. I have been raving about it on my channel and it was £1 - I bought 4 of them in the end! xx I do get a lot of things but I am picky. I also found some revlon just bitten lip tints which are stunning and I also found some rimmel lipsticks too. All £1 or 99p. It's so mich better!

I am actually off to go and have a look today in fact so I will let you all know what is there.

I just did a 'chat' with MAC online, and they tell me that Well Behaved sold out 'quicker than expected', and would not be re-stocked.

Aaand the Guo Pei stuff is selling out already. Product numbers are very low as usual, so none of this will last out the day I don't suppose, especially as the email has gone out pretty promptly. Get in there quick if you want something, especially if you're after Ethereal Orchid, Red Water Lily or the Morning Light quad

The majority of the collection have just disappeared. What are the chances that the eBay Sharks have cleared out the stock?

Not much actually. There were only double figures of each item, some as few as 8! The most there was of anything is 68. Doesn't take long for them to sell out even to 'regular' buyers like that, especially when you realise there are probably enough of us posting on Specktra alone to clear out the lower stocked items between us.

True

 

[rockin]

Seriously, just 8 of an item for the whole of the UK? Even 68 is nowhere near enough. I know this collection is limited edition, but that's just plain ridiculous!

I managed to pick it up today from a counter in house of Fraser so there's definitely UK stock. I should have thought because you said yours got cancelled as well and got two, I'm an idiot!

All I'm gonna say is remember Lavender Jade... Now that was upsetting, I thought I missed it on launch day only to find out we never got it

Luckily I wasn't going after Lavender Jade. It did sell out extremely quickly, though. My worst experience of things selling out was with Venomous Villains, where pretty much most of what I wanted sold out within seconds. Luckily I managed to track most of it down by phone from a store some distance away, but I had to pay postage, then that package never arrived, so they managed to track down some items from other branches and the rest I had to buy on ebay.

Unfortunately our HoF doesn't have a MAC counter, or I would have been straight down there.  Luckily I wasn't going after Lavender Jade.

I heard it wasn't released over here, cos me and few others on here went to Soho around the time it was released and the MAC girls and guys never had it in stock. I ended up ordering LJ from the States, a CP for BK again from the States and FS from eBay. The only thing I did get from BBW over here was BBJ

I got Bao Bao's Jewels, Summer Opal and Burmese Kiss. BK was a big disappoint for me, as rather than the lovely pink I was seeing on other people, it turned orange on me.

I rarely reach for BK. When I do wear it, depending on the time of day either have to tone it down with a blue liner or rock it with a red liner

I went to the Trafford Centre and the artists there said that they never had it in stock. I don't think anywhere had LJ in the UK.

And there was me thinking that I missed it online, I was upset when I saw that it was SO. But then again, the launch for BBW over here and in the US was a complete farce

I was annoyed by LJ aswell, I still haven't let it go. Swear there's something with me and purple and lavender lipsticks, I've had a problem with Strutting Fabulous from the Macnificent me collection aswell.

I read that. You're best off going in store when you get the chance or reserve it or something. I saw SF today, I just skipped it and said to the MUA that it's too much like LJ and DG. Ended up with PMS, OTL reminds me of Heroine but lighter and less matte

I've ordered it with Selfridges via click and collect. The mac counter at the Trafford Centre hasn't got the Macnificent me collection when we called this morning, the artists that we spoke to said that it hadn't arrived.

You'll get it via Click and Collect, that's one thing I do love about Selfridges
