Oh, no! I'm from Austria too ... I hope we can get them from anywhere. Just from looking at the pictures, I love them all.

yea I think that's the plan =)
ima still get the coral ombre too tho lol
The Cheek Pops are now on the german Clinique site. 29,50... I don't know what to do. I really want them, but that's so much more than in any other country, I don't want to support that (and I'm kinda sorta already broke for this month, lol. Had some other expenses)
Maybe they will be exclusive to the Clinique site? So if I wait for other sites where I could get a disount they won't even get them and sell out at Clinqie in the meantime.
Oh, and it's saying they're LE. Whomp, whomp.
OK, after typing that I placed an order, lol. It took forever, they don't even have decent paying options, no paypal, nothing. So I had to do it by automatic bank transfer (or whatever that's called in English...) and it didn't even work the first time and said error. It did work the 2nd time, but it only accepts the old bank account numbers, but since we have the new system since Feb 1, I don't even know if they can take the money from my accout this way?
I feel a little disgusted spending that much on a 3 gram something blush, especially knowing they're ripping us Germans off. (what else is new)
No Hourglass blush for a while! And no other makeup this month as well.
edit: needless to say I got only one, lol. Ginger.

I know how the euro systems work -- or think I do,, lol. but just think you were able to get the one item you really liked and will use.
I only got two -- mainly because the texture is perfect for my skin. I have only worn one so far, and CD Corail most days. lol. but will soon wear my plum. I suspect they will repromote later on, or come out with the new colours for fall/winter... I know, it seems so far away but hey, the shows are on, and the fashion/cosmetics world is already half way thru the new seasons.

My counter has Ginger and Peach cheek pops only, the pinks will come later. The texture and pigmentation is good. I tried Ginger on my cheeks, love it, and they were fresh testers! The daisy is adorable and so happy. The Plum looks like it is a pale cool pink instead of plum. Hopefully there is a true plum for fall like HG said!

Thank you for the info! I just ordered plum pop from the Austrian site. I think it is the same as mac's onlineshop with the paying options ... once there is only one payment option and the next time you can pay as you would like ... after checking out a second time, I was able to pay per invoice.The Cheek Pops are now on the german Clinique site. 29,50... I don't know what to do. I really want them, but that's so much more than in any other country, I don't want to support that (and I'm kinda sorta already broke for this month, lol.

I also wrote customer service an e-mail and asked if the blushes will be available in stores too. If they are, I will probably buy another colour.
OMG, the MAC site is the worst! I have like 8 accounts there by now, lol. I only have all payment options with the first order, from then it's only cedit card. I've heard from many people having the same problem, I also emailed them about it but only got a generic reply. None of the reasons they listed applied to me. They really should fix whatever is going wrong there, but they don't even want to admit that something is wrong, lol.
Great that you were able to order! I read on a blog (coral & mauve, I believe) that you won't get them.
If Douglas gets them and they still have them next month I might order another as well since they usually have 5€ codes.

It's so stupid! I have that problem too with MAC, but I found out that when I reload the site during the checkout, the payment options might change ... and it was the same with Clinique. I also hope, that Douglas gets them. I then would like to buy the peach one and berry looks so beautiful too ... But I'm glad, that the info from the blog was obviously wrong.

I have Berry and Plum which are my faves.. I don't usually do peach or ginger shades as I tend to get lost in a sea of yellowness.

I went to a Clinique counter on saturday (at Marionnaud) and the lady said, that they will get the blushes till the end of the week. So hopefully Douglas will get them too.
That would be great
My blush shipped Friday, I was hoping to already have it Saturday or today, but I'm still waiting for it.

Mine shipped on friday too, but I also haven't recieved it yet. It should be here in the next few days, as it does usually take some time to get here from Germany. The blush got shipped on the same day, just a few minutes different to my mac order (I ordered the same day also), from the exact same DHL station in Germany ... hmmm.That would be great
My blush arrived. Err... I guess it's not normal that it's rotating?? Like it's loose and spinning around when I try to apply it. It doesn't fall out when I flip it over, though.
I'd like to tell myself that it's supposed to be like this as a cute gimmick, because I don't want to face the fact that I paid 29,50€ for a rotating blush, lol.
Oh well, I guess I should drop CS an email.
