Thanks, Anneri! whoa, I'm new to the makeup world and don't get around in Germany much anyway, but it's kind of cool to see that there are special places like that here
It's a nice change from being depressed that there's no nars counters or anything MUFE or Urban Decay Do they have collections earlier more often or is this a one time occurence?
I ordered the Surf Baby Blush from Breuninger this morning, will post swatches when it's here. Breuninger never ships as fast as Douglas though. From Quite Cute I ordered CYY, Sakura, Miss Behave and the mint n/p. I'm still not sure about the blushes, will see how I like them. I wanted to order all three, but the price scared me when I had them all in my cart, LOL. Now I still want In Synch, which they didn't even have at Douglas. I'm also really into the other two n/p, but they're probably pretty dupeable. I ordered Light as Air from China Glaze off ebay instead of getting Little Girl Type. Now waiting for all the goodies to come home

So we have a lot to look forward to!

Before I saw Little Girl Type in person, I thought Essies Nice is Nice from the spring collection would be a dupe, but it's a lot darker. Maybe it's because I had to put 3 coats on my nails to make it look even

No, not really - I'll ask my fav MUA if she's in tomorrow when I get my SB stuff. It'll be a small haul, I guess - Hibiscus, Bust out and maybe MAYBE My Paradise.
I splurged a little bit yesterday on the WONDERFUL Estee Lauder Sun Goddess Sea Star Bronzer, it's incredibly pretty and suits me very well. Whereas my Paradise is really orangey-red, judging from pics, and I hate the idea of overspray. Otherwise it's all skippety skip for me. I'll skip Flighty as well, and want only some things from Fashion Flower. I'm not really taken with MAC at the moment!
Question: what mascara do you all use? I'm looking for a new one since my beloved NIVEA one is gone from the market by now. Price doesn't matter, but is has to be waterproof.

Hi ladies
dorni ~ Welcome to the site!
I almost forgot that it's release date tomorrow. I guess I didn't want much things from MAC at the moment. Lately I've been feeling like I have all the colors I wanted, so maybe I should focus on using them instead of getting a new one every month
.
I guess I'll check out Hibiscus, gilded white eyeliner, and that pale gold l/g.
Anneri ~ I currently using the Nivea Max Volume Magic Twist and I love it, not clumpy at all. It's not waterproof though, and I don't know if they have a waterproof version.
mayflower ~ I got Little Girl Type, but I didn't like the consistency. My hubs said it looks like paint on my toenails. Well.. he's exaggerating but I see his point.

Cutemiauw - I've the same feeling with my stash at the moment. Problem is maybe the wrong word, but I'm really sated. Colours, textures - been there, done that, that's my feeling lately.
Sadly, NIVEA pulls out of the German market and won't sell make-up articles any longer over here. So, goodby HG mascara!

I'm using MAC's Splahproof Lash, I've bought it several times now. I use waterproof ones only for as long as I can remember, and this is the best one so far.
I think I won't be getting anything else from Surf Baby, since I already have the blush. Will skip Flighty too. 2 or 3 things from Fashion Flower and then I'm really looking forward to Semi Precious, especially to the blushes.

Anneri, I feel the same about my "stash" Probably really saturation and the release chaos every time is starting to annoy me. I never use waterproof mascara, so I am not sure I can help. I love the Lancome Hypnose, but it is not waterproof. Btw, the Armani Eyes To Kill is nice as well if you are looking for a less dramatic mascara. I guess the formula for the waterproof ones are quite different.

Really? I do know they are not in DM anymore, but I still see them in Rossmann and Karstadt. *sigh* oh well, then I'll just try something else...Cutemiauw - I've the same feeling with my stash at the moment.

I got a sample of Diorshow Extase a while ago. It's very dramatic looking, holds the curl like no other mascara can... BUT it goes a little clumpy when I'm not careful.
Hmm... maybe I'll try the Armani one next time. Thanks Birgit
Btw, did you see Douglas promo of the beauty box? For 10 euros a month you'll get a box with some random beauty products. From what I've seen, it looks like it's worth more than 10 Eur. I'm still not sure though... what if I don't like any of the items in there? Rather put the money into something I really need?
Birgit - I now feel the same way with MAC's LE. It's so stressful to have to be there at a certain date, have to get the items right now... etc. Cosmetics shopping should be fun, not stressful

Astrid, the brush of the ETK is amazing, my kind of brush, but for a lot of volume the formula is too dry. I was thinking about using the ETK brush on my Lancome Hypnose.... If I am right that would give serious volume. Yes, cosmetics shopping should be fun. No idea if I will go back for Surf Baby, maybe I'll go to another counter. Enjoy shopping for Surf Baby and I am looking forward to what you will get/got.

Btw, when I was in my store, I noticed a dupe for Little Girl Type: From the Essence Blossoms etc. collection. There's a polish called Bloom-a-loom, I had it on my nails and so I noticed. Maybe it's a little late to get them, but I really like those polishes, I bought one of every colour because I like the application and durability.

Anneri, you're right, I couldn't find Nivea in Karstadt anymore. But I saw that they still have it on nivea.de and they have free shipping until end of May... it might be an option.
Today I went to (almost) all of MAC counters in Berlin to find Surf Baby. They didn't have them!! Argh! The only one that has it is the MAC pro store. I assumed it's coming soon though, since I saw the posters on the other store as well. Hibiscus, My Paradise, and Surf USA were sold out. I swatched Sun Blonde, but it's came out as ugly yellow-green on my skin soI only got Gilded White e/l from the collection.
Wish you all a nice weekend!
I'm going to try ETK on my next mascara replacement cycle... is it more on the dramatic side or on the natural side?

Thanks for the nice welcome ladies.
I went to Frankfurt last Tuesday to do a "little" MAC shopping. The LE was more suitable for me than I thought, I´m quite pale. So I bought My Paradise, Surf USA eyeshadow (gorgeous!!!), Gilded White pencil and Surf the Ocean pigment stack. No lip products for me, I have way to much and none of the bronzing stuff, too orange in my opinion.
The overspray of My Paradise is really thick, so it should last a while.
I will skip Flighty and Fashion Flower, I don´t need a cream eyeshadow to have creasing occur, my oily lids do that by themselves. After the Rose Romance Beauty Powder desaster, I will never buy a Mac Product with an imprint again, even if I am a Beauty Powder addict.

I'm sorry for the mixed-up post 5 days ago. I tried to post 3 times and specktra did not like me that day.
Anyways, I'm hope you're great ladies and enjoying the lovely summer weather. Did you get anything from Surf Baby? I admit, I have no willpower when it comes to the pigment stacks. I bought both. Shopping for Surf Baby was quite interesting. The MAC counter at Douglas put it out last Thursday but they didn't have any of those cardboard holders with the pretty pictures. A staff member was talking on the phone about how? and why? this could have happened. I don't want to know about the chaos behind-the-scene at MAC. But I find the different loaunch dates frustrating. This is a no very nice shopping experince. :-|
Anneri, I'm using the catrice All Round mascara waterproof and like it.
