Release dates for the UK

[minnie_moo]

I ordered over the phone just before midday- the lady said I was her first VV customer! So glad I did, as Bad Fairy had sold out before I was able to get online tonight. I got:
-Bad Fairy
-Oh So Fair
-Strange Potion
-Innocence, Beware!
-Bite of an Apple
I paid for next day delivery too, so all my goodies should be here tomorrow. I was so bad & snuck out of work for 10 minutes to make the call

I've never ordered over the phone before, do I get a shipping notice emailed to me or do I just assume it's on the way?

I noticed you were quiet Lou. I was like "I hope she doesn't miss it"!!

...and Formidable! This is seriously crazy! I'm so happy I was sitting by the computer this morning, even though I hardly got anything done.

Thank god i went back and ordered mean and green then !!!
Im ordering everything from the website now after my local MAC were so rude to me the last time i was there ! It would literally pain me to give them my money. Even if its still going to MAC after all

 

[Miaow]

Oh wow, briar rose is sold out? I'm happy I got my stuff in time

LMD84 (Lou?) I hope you're feeling better soon

I hate how they blocked mac website and Specktra at work now. Obviously they don't feel like supporting my addiction

Fingers crossed it will miraculously still be there at Gatwick counter, when my sister will be flying on Sat. Otherwise me and Bad Fairy are not meant to be.

I can't believe how much has sold out! I didn't expect it so quickly tbh..

 

[banana1234]

i kind of expected it would, i'm so relieved i can go on thursday as i have it off this week

 

[Anitacska]

Innocence, Beware and Oh So Fair bp are sold out as well. This is the fastest selling out collection I've seen since I got into Mac!

 

[banana1234]

i better get there bright and early thursday then!

 

[AndSparkle]

For me it's not, I think Hello Kitty still claims that one. I'll look at it tomorrow and see if that changes though.

I'm pretty sure I didn't order from the website back then, but I do know that when I went to the counter I could get everything I wanted. I don't remember how long after the launch it was (probably 2 days or so though because I had a young toddler then, so wouldn't have been able to go shopping on a Thursday morning, I used to only go at the weekend). Anyway, it's still pretty quick by any standards.

 

[banana1234]

i remember going to my mac counter and all the hello kitty was there too, i wasnt into mac so much then, i remember it being a good week or so after release and everything was still available, its crazy cos now if i did that half the stuff would be gone!

 

[banana1234]

mind you, i went to check out FF last week, and everything was still in stock!

I think it depends on which counter you go to. The counter in Kingston always sells out much faster than the one in Guildford, I remember going to K the day after Liberty of London was released and they'd already sold out of the coral lipstick (can't remember its name, it's too late now), but the G counter still had loads. Also the G counter had several Stereo Roses a week and 2-3 days after the launch!

yeah hello kitty sold out insanely quick! however i think most of it sold out on the website preview days - you were invited to preview the collection and were emailed a link early. and of course many people did that. so when it actually launched a few days later stuff sold out super quick because half the stock had already gone on the preview!

I had to! My nearest counter at the time was 100+ miles away!

I think YouTube is kinda to blame for that one? The popularity of MAC has skyrocketed since YouTube came about, and it seems like it's the must-have of the cosmetics world.

The Bullring counter sells out of everything really quickly, the f/s store isn't so bad though.

Yeah! I got the preview invite.. I brought nearly the whole collection!

So atm,

Innocence, Beware!
Oh So Fair
Briar Rose
Bad Fairy
Mean & Green
Formidable

are all sold out.
I'm quite surprised that more hasn't sold out yet - I was expecting BoA, Toxic Tale and Strange Potion to all sell out. However, I think it will pick up pace today, as everyone expected it to launch online today, there has to be some who missed it online yesterday.

Sorry I'm just a bit too excited!
