Release dates for Germany

[Anneri]

Thank you! I think I'll try the Catrice one and the MAC one Naynadine recommended next.

I'm really happy I got the two SB lippies I really wanted and, in the same week, the perfume and the sea star powder of EL's summer collection, because two weeks ago, I was fired. It was really quite horrible (and unexpected), and I'll have little money for the next time, so I'm glad I got a few things I really wanted. I'll see what happens when Fashion Flower launches here - I like the collection a lot, maybe I can scrape some money together. Flighty doens't interest me, fortunately, and so does Semi-Precious - is it heretic to say around here that I don't like mineralise products that much? ;-)

Well, anyway, guys - if anyone needs an editor, give me a shout!

Just an FYI, Douglas has a special offer until today (17.05), if you put FB3456, you'll a special YSL parfum set + small bag.

Oh dear, Anneri I'm so sorry, that sucks

. I hope you get a new job soon! Were you working in a magazine before?

I'm not very fond of the mineralize stuff either... or to be exact, I find it just like any other e/s but it's bigger and more expensive = I'd never get through it! I didn't pay attention to the next collections yet... so far I only want Ever Hip from Fashion Flower.

I have that set, the mini perfum and the bag are really cute.

Anneri - sorry to hear about that, hope you find something new soon.

Does anybody know if Surf Baby will be available on maccosmetics.de at all? It's been some time now since it was released, I'm wondering why it takes so long. I hope they release the Latest, Greatest Accessoires also, I want to try those new sponges. Other than that I probably won't be buying any MAC until Fashion Flower and Semi Precious. Right now I'm waiting for my Naked Palette that I ordered last week, super excited to try it out.

 

[cutemiauw]

Naynadine, good to know about the YSL bag! I just ordered today and I hope I get it soon!!!

Have fun with your Naked Palette!!! Where did you order it from? I got mine from Hqhair a long while ago before the hype gets crazier. LOL. I love the texture of everything there... except maybe one which has some fallout issue. It's definitely my travel palette

Anneri, so sorry to hear that, it sucks :hug: At least you were getting yourself something nice.

I ordered at HQhair too. But it was a mess, seems like they did not have enough in stock for all the orders they had coming in. I had to wait a couple of days for my shipping confirmation where others got it much earlier, and I know a lot of other girls who got their orders cancelled. Now I'm waiting impatiantly for it to arrive, hope it's worth the hype. I can see it coming in handy for travelling too, so I don't have to carry my MAC palette with me.

 

[Anneri]

Thanks girls! Yes Astrid, I worked for various healthcare journals in the past. I have yet no idea if I should change this, or if I should persue this career.

Anyways, have fun with the Naked Palette, Naynadine! I love mine to pieces, but be careful when you take it with you on travels - I really don't trust the magnetic clasp and always put it in its plastic sheath it came in.

 

[cutemiauw]

Naynadine, yeah HQhair could be a mess sometimes... but in my case the product always arrived in the end (plus it's cheaper compared to Germany ). I agree with Anneri about the magnetic clasp but I put it rolled up with my brush roll, that works too .

Anneri, if you thought of changing career, this could be the perfect time for you? I don't know how the editor job market is though... would be awesome to work on the magazine you love! Good luck! *why isn't there and good luck emoticon from the bajillion specktra emoticons?*

 

[Chester]

(((Annerie))) I'm sorry! I keep my toes crossed for you to get a new job soon! And you're not alone in your dislike of mineral products. I just ignore them because they don't deliver as much color as regular eye shadows do and mineral face products sometimes give me breakouts. I guess it's something less I have to keep track of.

[Anneri]

Well, I've decided to view it as an opportunity - I was so unhappy there but I wouldn't have given up on that job, so yeah, it's quite good it happened.
Publishing isn't a really smart career move right now, tho - unless you do online publishing, and I'm not really into that. I'll have a closer look into PR and corporate communication.

I managed to get a little money out of them as a goodbye

, so I'm not yet desperate for any job.
Thanks for all the good wishes, I really appreciate it!

 

[cutemiauw]

Good for you, Anneri! I agree on viewing it as an opportunity

. I'm sure you will find the job you love!!

 

[hyazinth]

@Anneri: Sorry to hear that you lost your job. I am glad that you can see it as a new opportunity. Certainly it takes time to get to that, when loosing the job was unexpected. I am so glad you managed that and can get to new challanges now

From Surf Baby I got:
Summer Stash and Surf the Ocean Stackeds, Hangin' Loose and Ocean Dip Np, Gilded white eye pencil, and My Paradise, which I am afraid to use now because it would destroy the golden flower

. Hopefully I sometime soon get over that *hehe*
I am so not up to date which collection is next. I feel quite exhauseted always searching for the right date and having to call my counter. Not much fun here shopping for MAC at the moment...
My focus was more in Lush these days..did you know that the 10% discount vouchers will not be in the gifts anymore? It's a pity because the discount was a nice thing for returning customers.

 

[Anneri]

I've been into Lush since 1999, and I'm through with them - nearly. I only buy my face products any more and specials like the Big Freeze thingy. They really piss me off with their price increase, the voucher thing, and various other stuff.

I absolutely agree with you, Hyazinth - not much fun at shopping MAC at the moment, either: Did you folks hear that Fashion Flower is pushed back to July?! WTF?! Does anyone has info on that? I'm deducting that it's the same over here like in the UK (the info came from Lou for the UK release date).
I'm also majorly annoyed about the Bloggers Collection - the thing about the internet is that everybody has access to infos and such, and MAC releases a BLOGGERS collex only in the US? Damn good strategy, MAC! Way to go. *rolls eyes*

 

[Mac-Guy]

Is the German MAC website always so slowly updated? I was surprised to find out that Surf Baby was released in stores in early May, but it only showed up on maccosmetics.de a few days ago.

 

[Anneri]

The reason behind this is - I think - that there are different release dates. The dates for counters, stores etc. and online release can differ greatly over here.

 

[Naynadine]

They had technical issues with the site, that's why Surf Baby was released much later than the actual release date was. I'm just wondering why it's the same thing with Flighty now.
Don't even get me started on the Bloggers collection...I'm sooo disappointed that it's US/Canada only, I' don't even want to think about it, I'm just gonna ignore it. Boo MAC.

As for Fashion Flower it seems to be true that we will get it in July, it has been pushed back. How am I supposed to buy all the stuff from Fashion Flower and Semi Precious in one month, that's gonna be way too much. And, because I'll have to shop online as always, it's gonna be super stressfull. You know that the popular items are gonna sell out in a matter of seconds, like the MSFs, so stuff will probably be sold out before I can even put everything in my cart.
I heard that the date for Semi Precious is July 11th BTW.

At least, in store sales won't be as bad as in the US. And probably Douglas or Breuninger will have the products up on their website before Mac does.

Does anyone know whether Hana will have the Bloggers Collection?

What do you guys plan? Get a CP? Skip?

Yes, she's taking preorders already. She will ship between June 24th and 28th. I would like to get Karen's gloss, but I don't plan to order from Hana, since you have to order at least 3 items or for 75$ from her. She changed this recently, and I'm not happy about it. I don't like to be forced to buy stuff that I don't need/can't afford. Plus I don't want to risk paying custom duties. I planned to order a lot from her in the future, but always one or two items at once. I don't think she's doing herself a favour with this rule. So looks like this will be a skip for me.

 

[Anneri]

Wow, that's inconvinient! Okay, apparently the MAC gods conspire against us here...

I'll skip too, then. I'd love to get Karen's lipglass, Christine's e/s and Parisian Sky and the orangey-red gloss, but well. Customs in FFM is always über-correct and I don't want the hassle.

And anyways - the colours will re-appear, I'm sure...

Slightly different maybe, but nevertheless.
