AU Colour Story Release Dates

[sambibabe]

Dame Edna and Chill won't be released here until mid January. My MUA suggested to be at the launch night to grab everything, especially HK collection. The official launch date for Dame Edna in US is not until 26th of December though.. I think US stores do have them a week before 26th, which should be today!

BTW.. wow about your $100 voucher, miss_bailey! Hubby scored Myer $50 today, so I just got back from MAC. Apparently MAC at Myer stores open till 12am tonight and my MUA asked me to come by, if I wanted some eye make-over. Hmmm.. maybe I should have stayed, but the longer I stayed there, the more I spend money!

What about BBR? I think thats gonna be the budget killer this year.
Anyone have a clue about when that will be out here?

Yeah, now I am gearing more towards BBR than HK.. Since it is coming out in Jan in US, wouldn't it be released in Feb here? Just before HK?

 

[miss_bailey]

That would make sense If MAC release these on the same day here I will die.
And then I will grimace and bear it.
I was looking at HK today in detail and I think really there is only a couple of things I'll get (of what I've seen so far). I dont want any of the pallettes because I never use them when there packaged like that, I was hoping it would just be a normal quad, plus the colours arent really my thing. BBR I know i want all the MSF's and a couple of the eyeshadows. AND all the brushes. I love me some brushes.

 

[sambibabe]

I think HK eyeshadows are dupable, but I am getting those anyway. I am not crazy about the packaging either, but if I don't get them, I will regret later! I might get:
* all of the lipsticks and lipglasses (I am a lipstick junkie)
* all of the pigments and glitters (If I haven't got them already)
* One of the beauty powders
* Two Dazzleglasses from HK Kouture ( these come with Swarovski crystals)
* One of the mystery powder (now this will be expensive)
* A purse mirror
Lucky my birthday is in March

I'm not looking forward to any of the collections coming out

woohoo.. that's a lot..
i think i'm only going for :
- 3-4 lip products
- one of the beauty powders
- 1-2 dazzleglasses that come with swarovski...
- purse mirror
and perhaps some of the bag and other accessories... ^^

Does anyone know when there will be any launch parties going on for any of the upcoming collections? I really want to go to one.

 

[Paramnesia]

I've never been to any of the launch parties, I'd love to go to one.

 

[miss_bailey]

IMHO, the launch parties are a bit of a a joke unless you go to a pro store. Dont bother at the counters. You get to see the products early and maybe get the chance of purchase, thats the only benefit really.

You either visit or ring the store close to the release date (for release dates of collections, you better check back here often lol) and they just invite you. Or get to know MUA at the MAC stores, ask them to take your details, then they will ring you up with information about upcoming launch nights, etc.

 

[sambibabe]

miss_bailey, go and open your MAC order! I just got mine and it has extra goodies!!~

Just kidding. I just opened mine, and I was trying to get you to open your box, before Christmas

I checked all the wrappers, just in case though!

I actually like the launch parties at my local counter...

They have them after hours in Myers and the last one I went to (colour forms) had nibblies, champagne etc and the MA's were available to do makeovers etc.

I tried to think of more substantial BS than 'extra goodies', but that might have gotten me into a trouble

.. I think I am too spoilt by Korean cosmetic companies.. Everytime I order something, they gave me free makeup bags, lollies, mirror, socks, mascara, felt tip eyeliners, pencil liners, lipglosses, socks, hair accessories, skincare samples, cotton wipes, mask sheets.. LOL.. Now it has become a habit of me to check all the wrappers and packaging for the freebies.

 

[miss_bailey]

I demand freebies! Im actually hoping everything is there because I ordered Silver Fog Pigment but the day I sent the order I checked the site and it wasn't on there. Hopefully they can find one somewhere to send me or I'll cry. I need a silver pigment dammit! It happened to me last time with Your Ladyship too...

And MrsMay, the ones I have been to its been on thursdays so late night shopping and the whole store is still open so regular people that havent even paid can see the demos too. It gave me the shits and since I have sworn to never do it again. I wish my experiences were like yours though!!

 

[sambibabe]

I was hoping there would be a MAC postcard at least

When I placed my order, I saw Silver Fog too. Let me know if you didn't get it.. I can check that out at the Pro store with my next trip there..

Oh, now I see where you are coming from.. I think the Melbourne store did the launch night after 6pm, so no passerbys could join in..

 

[Paramnesia]

Hmmm i'm too far away to go to one anyway, the last train home leaves at 6:30pm grrrrrrr stupid messed up public transport. All this BS about improving it is a liar lol.... all the funding/improvements are for geelong and of course ballarat.
