^ I can CP the mixing medium for you if you want Kirsty, PM me if you want
I accidentally woke up late today (since I planned a day off) and got all panicky since I though Ripe Peach would sell out haha, I got to MAC at 1pm and it was surprisingly not that busy, I got:
Ripe Peach (got 2 lol)
Azalea Blossom
Radicchio l/s
Laugh A lot l/s
Radicchio and Laugh A Lot look quite similar but I couldn't make up my mind and got both.
I also wanted True Babe l/g so badly (I'm not even into l/g so that's saying something) but they didn't have it yet!!! They told me to check back but that it'll be available by the end of the week...by the way this is the Selfridges London MAC counter that I'm talking about since Riveting is exclusive to Brown's and Selfridges - just in case anyone didn't know

Oh great
I just thought though, the Mac Pro site doesn't show prices. Anyone know how much this is (Water based mixing medium) or has a pro card so can log in & see?
Actually scrap that,
i think i'll just make my own. Somebody suggested earlier mixing glycerine & water. I can buy glycerine in the cake making aisle at asda for £2 max. Cant beat good ol' penny pinching.

^ No idea how much it is, so annoying that PRO doesn't show prices...I always thought that MAC should have one site for each country so that there would be a PRO section as part of the regular UK (or whichever country) site, I think it would actually be more efficient and that way they can show country specific prices for pro products, or maybe I don't know something that they know (a lot probably haha) and that there's a good reason for the segmentation between MACPRO and MAC?
Anyhow, I think it's a good idea to make your own medium, I just use eyedrops
I don't think MAC mediums are essential unless you are a professional because the bottles are too huge...with any luck they'll change the packaging and make the quantities smaller...and then they'll keep the prices the same probably and vex us lol

Ahh I bet a few of us could have bumped into each other with all this buying going on!
I went to the Pro store at around 12pm and managed to get everything I wanted. I got:
- Ripe Peach (ok so it was worth it!)
- Fresh Salmon lippie (wish this has a different name!)
- Laugh A Lot lippie (mlbb)
- Richer, Lusher cremesheen glass (is it just me or do these always have a funny smell/taste?!)
I also tested out Deelight, Just Superb and Loud and Lovely. They were all gorgeous but too similar to other glosses I have.
Finally, just want to add that I managed to get my hands on Double Dare cremesheen a few weeks back and it's the most delicious, wearable red gloss! I love it!

ripe peach is amazing - i was scared it'd be a bit orangey on me but it's not at all! it looks lovely!
the purple quad is amazing - great for a sexy purple smokey look
bubblegum lipstick wasn't as nice as i thought it would be... but after playing about with it i now really like it!

I quite fancy the purple quad. I haven't got any purples, would it be good for beginner purples do you think?

Can anyone confirm if Riveting is out? I'm guessing by what Sojourner said, it's not quite yet...
I'm interested in a CP for studded n/p and possibly Riveting l/s, I just can't decide how it will look on me!

I just got back from my trip to MAC
I'm really surprised I didn't really fancy much from all the collections that were out today! Money saved I guess.
I only got Rhapsody in Two and Two Virtues blushes. They're both so pretty! I just love shimmery cheeks. I also specifically asked for the RIT with the most pink and TV with the most purple lol. Good thing I was at Harrods so the MA was nice and amused with it, whereas if I went to Selfidges the MA would probably have given me the cold shoulder.
I expected to get Naked lip pencil, but when I swatched it on my lips it just looked so pale/cool toned on me that it just looked wrong
Jealous of the girls that could rock that one!
I also checked out the cremesheen glosses, I thought Loud and Lovely was really pretty. They're permanent though and pricey, and I have many lipglosses anyway so I didn't have the impulse to buy it there and then!
From Spring colour forecast, I expected to get Hot Hot Hot eyeshadow, but when I swatched it, although it was pretty, it dawned on me that I already had too many eyeshadows and since its quite a loud colour, I probably wouldn't be able to wear it much! The rest of the eyeshadows looked meh and boring to me.
The quads were both pretty, but I already had similar colours to the neutral one (except for Creole Beauty that was pretty!) and I had some difficulty swatching the highlight colour for the purple one! Like it wouldn't even transfer to my finger. So odd :S And I don't like the new quad packaging!
I wish MAC would return to the old one. I think I feel that way coz the OCD part of me doesn't want the change, and that I think it might be quite difficult to depot the eyeshadows
For lipsticks, I liked Bubblegum. A wearable lavender-pink IMO. I wanted to get it, but I didn't bring my B2M stuff so I didn't take it. Maybe next time. I didn't check out any of the lipglosses... I'm on a lipgloss ban now I guess!
I didn't check out the blush ombres since I thought they were way expensive, and I already have enough cheek stuff! I just bought all the cremeblends from Lillyland last month too, and I really wanted the 2 MBs I got. So blush ombres were skipped. =)
So those are my 2 pennies about the new stuff out today! Hope that was helpful to anyone
I felt quite sad about not seeing the new Viva Glams though. I really expected to see them! I really wanted to get my hands on Viva Glam Gaga. Haai. I guess money saved for this month

Victorian l/s is pretty nice, I've not seen anything similar in the perm line that has the same pink/coral colour with the gold pearl finish. Given you did get any lipsticks from the collection it might be worth having! Plus there are only 3 lipsticks coming out with GMLOL, so SCF gives you a better selection.
I'd pass on Perky for sure, it looks like a pretty boring colour, you could easily get a relatively good dupe from the perm line. I got Straw Harvest because I love golds. I'd previously bought Gorgeous Gold which turned out more yellow gold than orange gold, although it goes quite well with other yellows and greens it wasn't what I had really been looking for. Straw Harvest though is super similar to other previously released shades such as Evening Aura from Neo Scifi, so there is no saying it won't pop up again under another name!
Basically if you are trying to save money, since you already got a great quad of neutrals just get the lipstick, in my opinion atleast.

yes i think it would be great for a begginer in purples. great textures to the shadows and also different finishes - you have a matte, velux, velux pearl... all very nice
as i said - the only colour that hasn't wowed me was the peachy highlight shade. but gleam looks fab with it. i'm wearing it today!
