Oh Oh Oh l/s
Offshoot l/s

I'm also considering Peachstock, illicit, Social Light and Curvaceous. I also need to pick up a new concealer aswell! *sigh*

Anyhow whats your list so far? Hopefully seeing everything in person will help cut it down!



Great list! It has a ton of fun stuff on

If I get everything that I want, then mine'll be:
Avenue f/l
Stunner blush
Carbonized e/s
Social Light l/g
226 brush

I try and set myself a £50 limit for each collection, but I blew 3x that on Semi Precious oops
I think I'll try and get my local counter to reserve some stuff for me, and then check it out after lectures - silly uni getting in the way of my MAC!

why is it so good? 


 

It's tapered so that it fits perfectly in the crease. You have great control of where you deposit the color. It's not scratchy and it blends the color very well, also. It's especially helpful in multi-colored looks.

I didn't go too crazy with the Semi-Precious collection but I have been buying from other brands to compensate! Your list has most of the stand outs in the collection so you should be ok I'll be going in early in the morning to pick up my stuff hopefully - I buy most of my MAC from the Selfridges counter and some MAs will let me reserve and others are abit iffy! You should definitely try to reserve the 226 though as I see that going fast!

I agree with this. There is nothing worse than skipping on something only to have it haunt you - making you resort to ebay stalking. Been there and done that!

If you are lemming both, get both, otherwise you will regret it later when it is sold out.

I'll try Debenhams first, and then the freestanding if that fails! I have lectures 9 til 5 sadly so I'll nip into town after.
I'm really excited for this collection now, I can't wait to use everything I get

Who's getting Seaside and Take Root CCB?

I'm getting Seaside.

Debehams online releases have been the same as MACs recently so heres hoping it comes online on tuesday!

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

AMEN!

 

[SubwayDreaming]

I was pretty sure I would get a 226, but now you have sold me on it!

 

[shontay07108]

I like the color of Root CCB, but I don't want it if it's not going to last at least 8 hours. I need to read a review of it again.

I wound up grabbing the 226 (two of them) from Nordstrom along with two 239's (I LOVE 'em!) and a pair of UGG sneakers I'd wanted from there anyways. Bought enough to get me free shipping.

Aside from the 226, there isn't much about this collection that wows me. Now the collex coming up with all the paint pots...that's gonna be dangerous!

Were you planning on using it on your eyes?

 

[RayannaBanana]

I wish they would just put the whole collection up already I want to order everything at once, and actually use the express shipping.

 

[luvlydee]

Success! I just phone-ordered the LG quad (x2; getting one for my mom too), purple majesty, deep sea and runaway red from pro. They even added it to last night's order!

They were already sold out the 226 though. Did anybody else notice that it isn't even listed with the collection online? I wonder if they were so overwhelmed by the demand that they didn't bother putting it on the site. I'll see if my local store gets one this Thursday.

Can't wait to play with my new goodies!

That would really suck if thats why they didnt put it up on the site. Regular people didnt even get a chance to order it from them!

Thank goodness I ordered it from Nordstrom last night.

In case anyone's interested. http://www.temptalia.com/mac-me-over-overall-recommendations#more-31264

Itching for MAC to hurry up and make the New Black part of the collection available.

 

[EngineerBarbie]

Wow! Nordies already shipped my two 226 brushes!!!!

Why they are shipping my 239's along w/ my Ugg kicks is beyond me.

 

[shontay07108]

On my cheeks.

 

[GlamQueen21]

The 226 brush has been my HG brush ever since I bought it two years ago when Colour Craft was out. I'm happy that I'm getting another one since it's worth it. I also decided to skip Lady Grey Quad now since both Carbonized and Mythical eyeshadows are coming home with me. I'm still going to get Social Light l/g and Offshoot l/s. I'm also thinking about if I should get Runaway Red l/s from this collection. Hmmm....

I'm continuously being enabled. *sigh*
