I learnt from Tiffany Doll to apply the shadesticks on my finger and then dab in on my eyelids with my finger. It works better for me this way.

After knowing that aquavert is already sold out the second shock came right after. I had to do some online tests, since I am currently applying for jobs...and damn it was so difficult...I totally messed everything up...!!!I don´t think they will call me for an interview with my bad performance at these tests....Hope I won´t overspend tommorrow since I tend to do that when I am in a bad mood

It makes me sad to hear how limited the stock even at the few locations that got the collection here is. Why did they even put Sugarsweet on the german website? To tease most of Germany which can't even get their hands on Sugarsweet? Not fair.. not at all.

I know, right? Sweden didn't get any of the MSFs, as far as I know, and at least one of the counters only recieved 4 or 5 Aquaverts. Personally I wasn't too bothered, I only wanted Cakeshop shadestick, but it sucks for those that had looked forward to this collection.

i totally freaking agree LMD84....I hate the pulling, its not as smooth/creamy as I get from paintpots! I'm happy I only have the one Red Velvet from Sugar Sweet, then I have an old one from Silver Bleu. No more.....

Sounds like Germany and Sweden was totally neglected on this collection
Bad job MAC
On the other hand - and not that I don´t feel sorry for you guys and not that I don´t think it is completely stupid that not all items in a collection show up in stores - I do think it is kind of cool that the limited edition items ARE in fact limited edition and not something that everyone has... Makes you feel kind of special about the stuff and that is nice I think...
Hope you know what I mean - I am not out to offend anybody and show off because I got all the stuff I wanted (by the way, the MSF´s, aquavert and lollipop loving also sold out in 2 days here in Denmark). Just wanted to contribute with a different perspective...
(and tell you to check out some of the great ebay sellers on here - they might have some of the items!!)

Thanks for the tip
. I tried it out & it worked nicely with Butternutty, but Cakeshop was just to dry & simply stuck to my fingertip. As a result there was virtually no colour transfer from the finger to the lid
. Well, now I have even more loving & appreciation for my paint pots and fluidlines

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you tried and did your best. I hope you make it to the shortlist, get invited to numerous interviews and eventually land a job. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending you some happy thoughts and good karma.
As far as LE go, I do understand bestbehaviour's point that it's a nice feeling to possess something that's rare and special. It also makes the shopping more exciting (without LE Collections & the anticipation, wishlists, reviews, swatches and the rest that comes with them, there would be far less MAC buzz imo). Still, some LE items are a bit too limited in European countries. E.g. Graz only received 3 aquaverts (and it's more or less the same for all LE shadows etc.) and PT was sold out in 3 hours, which is insane. Since some of us we have to work/study/don't have a car and can't just snap our fingers and magically teleport into the MAC counter at 9am, it would be really nice to have the opportunity to buy the LE items at least within a couple of days of release (especially since I'm Slovenian and have to drive to Austria in order to do so). Not to mention the inconvenience of 'missing' items (I was there yesterday and they didn't receive 2 dazzleglasses & I highly doubt they ever will). The MA told me that collections have become more limited in Europe since Russia opened 6 (or 8?) new stors. In order to meet the demands of this vast and expanding market, fewer and fewer items are sent to 'minor' counters in 'smaller' EU countries (there is only one dispatch centre in Europe which is placed in Sweden).

So, what do you propose
?
It would be to cruel (not to mention impossible) to ban the Russians from lovig MAC so much...
Maybe we should order the Canadians to deliver larger shippments (& firstly order the Sweeds to place vast orders).
As a last resort, we can always highjack one or two of the MAC trucks/planes headed to Russia

You're so sweet. MAC/Specktra girls have to stick together and support each other
I'm sure that you are right about the gotta-have-what-you-can't-have factor. They might have also limited the products due to the current dire financial position & the number of new collections coming out (I can hardly keep track!). But my bet is that Europe (people/stores placing orders) just hasn't adapted to the situation of new (large!) markets opening up. I'm sure they will, once they realize that they could double their profit
