i completely agree with you on that one. i dont understand how mac can justify putting the prices up like that. but then i suppose as long as we all keep on paying it then they will.
ive been a bit off mac for the past couple of months due to the fact that i think they take the piss with us a little bit. we pay double the $ prices sometimes, we get collections a month later and when we try and get info from the via email etc they are so vague and dont give consistent information!

It is SOOO annoying with the price increase, but i guess with the increase in fuel, and general inflation, Mac want to keep making a large profit and their profits must be suffering with the fuel increase

Exactly.
I sometimes think I'll make the journey to Glasgow or wherever for the launch day of a collection so I could do some serious shopping and enjoy the atmosphere, but I don't feel I can ever trust the information from MAC regarding release dates. The conflicting information which everyone got about Heatherette was ridiculous and I had to completely give up on the idea and order from Selfridges.
I couldn't really afford to waste the diesel needed for the 250 mile round trip or a return on the train only to find that the collection was either nowhere to be seen yet or had already been out a week and nothing was left because they were so inaccurate. Grr!

I am really pissed off about the price increase. US is only getting something like $.50 and we got $2. That is crazy and unfair. I might start buying all my stuff from the US and not from here anymore. I don't do it because I like to go in and look at the collections.
We get it usually weeks later and never know what we are getting. The launch of Sonic Chick, Electro, and New View took the piss for me. I bought my stuff and love it but am seriously considering backing off Mac for awhile.
The blushes were £15... I don't know if that was a rise or if they MSF blushes are a little more. Does anybody know?

It's not out in Selfridges Oxford street until next week but it's in the Carnaby street store.
I picked up
181 buffer blush brush £19.50
189 face brush £27.00
Mineralize blushes in Gleeful, Merrily & Love Thing £15 each
Warm Chill, Gulf Stream, Solar White & Cool heat shadows £11 each
Slimshine in Gentle Simmer £11.50
Mineralize skinfinish duo £18
I passed on the electroflash and the only one that I did want (black/white) is not coming out for several weeks apprently.

I reckon it might be a rise cos blushes also went up $.50 in the US....but then again I thought the mineralize blushes were slightly more expensive than the regular ones so I really don't know!
But I think I am also going to start buying from the US....I just need to figure out how...maybe we could all come to some arrangement?

I paid £18 as well... no they increased them as well.... DAMN
. I just worked it out and it cost me £15 more to buy my stuff that it usually would have! After today (I still need to finish my Electroflash haul), I am no longer buying MAC here. I got family in the US that i can have them send me my stuff. I will get it quicker as well and save about 25%. I am so pissed off right now. That is another blush I could have purchased.

The fact that the new collections are available at somes stores/counters and not others and some products are not yet available seems really stupid. Surely there should be one date for every product coming out at every location and online? Pffft. Oh well, I'm away for lunch so I can give the clicky-clicky-refresh nonsense a rest for a while at least!

I completely agree with you... why doesn't Selfridges have anything until next week. The collections launch today. If I would have went there today intending to do all my shopping, I would have been pissed. I am really sick of the way Mac treats us over here.
I just worked it out the price difference if I bought the stuff here versus US... UK £248 and US £197... I would have saved £51. I suggest everybody find a CPer in the US to get it for you. I won't be buying it from here anymore.

Is the site freezing at the homepage for anyone else ? Or is it just me crashing it because I keep pressing refresh hehe

No not doing that for me.
It's ridiculous, if the release date for the collection is today then it should have been on the site this morning. If I had a store close to me I could have had my stuff by now. Heck, it's not like they've had all week to update the site!
