Release dates for the UK

Tell us when you get your little black box!!

I'm so surprised the MES haven't sold out quicker. Surprised about Oh So Fair too, as it's being repromoted with one of the holiday collections. The rest, especially the nail polishes, I'm not at all surprised at!

It's here!

I was just about to leave the house when the courier lady came, but I had to go to the supermarket, so just left it in the kitchen. Only had a quick look afterwards because I had to collect my little boy from school (my life is so hectic right now

), but I like everything! Love the MES, Briar Rose and Bite of an Apple and Bad Fairy, but really everything.

So funny, just got the e-mail from Mac about the collection, erm, bit late now!

Just looked and BoaA and Strange Potion are sold out now as well.

I got mine yesterday, about 3-4 hours after it came online?

Toxic Tale is now sold out.

 

[PurpleCherry]

Awesome!

No idea when mine's due either, nothing about dispatch in my inbox yet. I can't wait to experiment with the MES!

 

[AndSparkle]

Ergh, I hate the MES.. the pigments and Strange Potion are where it's at for me

 

[sonia84]

wow we're up to 10 sell outs, wasn't expecting that to happen so fast.

 

[AndSparkle]

I was.. look how hyped up it's been over the last few months! People have been saving for this one

Oh! And my delivery came yesterday, nearly 3 weeks after I made the stupid order! Thank god I loved the stuff in it, and if anyone is thinking about the spf50 face protect, get it, it's amazing and isn't greasy at all, it feels more like a primer

 

[minnie_moo]

My black box came a couple of hours ago! I've not had chance to properly look at everything yet, but so far so good! BoA is not as bright as I feared & Bad Fairy is just *gorgeous*! So happy with my haul

3 weeks

I was nearly tearing my hair out when my ttb order took a week. Poor you.

 

[AndSparkle]

Don't even get me started... I nearly boycotted VV because of it!

You're most probably right. Youtube and its make up guru's have brought so much free publicity to all kinds of makeup brands, but Mac is pretty much everyone's favourite.

I was almost one of those people, have I not had a look on the website out of curiousity last night. I would be quite sad to miss Bad Fairy and one of te MES.

i'm going to be outside house of fraser at 9am sharp on thursday, ready for a smash and grab style haul, i'll just say, i want this this and this and then i'll swatch them after you've put them to one side!

 

[AndSparkle]

I'd make a list, give them the list and then go to swatch

 

[pippa!]

my dark magic is sold out now too

ahhh i can't wait for thursday - last night i was debating even going to the counter (and thinking of just waiting until i'm in london friday and hitting up selfridges on oxford street) but i think i NEED innocence beware

i might also pick up she who dares, toxic tale, heartless, and dark deed, and i definitely want to try truth and light mclp too

goodness, it's going to be a big haul from the collection by the end of it... it's a good job i don't like the look of a tartan tale, my bank account is being destroyed by vv

ooh i just got an email telling me my order's been dispatched

HURRAH!

 

[Anitacska]

I'm actually quite surprised the mineralize eyeshadows lasted for as long as they did.

I love everything I got! Wearing Bad Fairy now and it's so pretty! Wicked Ways and Hot House are amazing, so is Strange Potion! Love the mes, they're actually quite vivid, the pink, purple and green shades are gorgeous (the blue didn't swatch as nicely on me, but it's fine too). Briar Rose and BOAA are so pretty too, although probably more dupeable than the others I got.

I don't have too many maybes left, but I will go to Kingston on Thursday to check out Oh So Fair (although most likely wait for it to come out with TT in one of the face kits), Revenge Is Sweet, Toxic Tale, Wrong Spell and Truth & Light.

Yay my VV/Viva Glam order has been dispatched too!
My delivery guy is going to be annoyed, he was just here today delivering my 'pre-VV haul' haha! (Got a few perm bits - 219 brush, Carbon e/s, Rebel lipstick and Pearl CCB!). Oh well, I'm almost single handedly keeping him in a job!

I'm the same with our postman. I order so much stuff, plus always buy things from eBay, he almost always has something for me. Our old postman is now working in the delivery office, I reckon he had enough of bringing my stuff all the time!

I was so excited about VV, I forgot about the Viva Glam lipglass, I got the Cindy one, it's very pretty.

I also got a couple of perms: Dollymix blush and Pink poodle lipglass. Very happy with everything. Off to bed to cuddle my new puchases, husband's not speaking to me anyway (not Mac related).

 

[banana1234]

[LMD84]

You're not stupid, it was supposed to be in the Hark The Heraldry face kit, but has been replaced by Rose BP since, I wonder why?

Maybe I do need to get Oh So Fair after all.. hmm.

EDIT: I've just seen Erin's swatches of OSF and Rose BP on the TT thread (page 120) and they are almost identical, so I think I will skip OSF after all and just get the face kit instead.
