UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

[Alisha1]

Not sure if you've seen it on the Chanel Las Vegas thread, but anyway:

The collection is coming to the UK on the 24th February! http://www.makeup4all.com/chanel-las-vegas-makeup-collection

So excited! And the highlighter is "only" £48 which is a hell of a lot less than $95! For once UK prices are cheaper!

Are you going to get anything?

 

[LMD84]

i really want the highlighter however i'm not actually sure if i can afford it.... i shall see what i get paid

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, I really want the highlighter! Not going to bother with the other things, but will definitely pick up the highlighter. I'm actually going to London on Saturday and it's launching on Friday, so yay!

Are you going to get anything?

 

[Alisha1]

I want the highlighter but I don't need it :/ I am going to get the Rouge Coco shine and lip pencil though, I don'r know why but I like the idea of gold lips on my tan skin

Just a heads up for anyone who wanted it, the pretty Stila hearts blush is back in stock on Beautybay.com. I didn't let it get away this time!

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. I ordered it last night just before bed. I also ordered Urban Decay Lovechild lip crayon.

I popped into Boots and they now have the 17 spring collection out, except my local Boots doesn't stock those pretty flowery palettes, so I'll need to go to Kingston maybe tomorrow. They also have some very pretty nail polishes, a slightly shimmery light green, a lovely yellow and a shimmery peachy colour.

my second selfridges order came yesterday with watch me simmer in, i love it but it stained my lips, i only have make up wipes at my boyfriends and its just not removing it!! i guess that's okay cos the stain looks good too! i also got enchantee and so vain, not sure about so vain, maybe it will look better when i put a bit of bronzer on! i'm so pale at the moment!! i may get the other kissable colours when then launch in debenhams, i'm undecided. ive enjoyed using selfridges though, their mail is so quick, and nothing arrives squashed like it does with mac/debenhams. my mac orders lately have arrived squashed and my debenhams orders usually turn up damaged, has anyone else found this too?

I have never had problems with my Debenhams orders other than being a bit slow sometimes. Can't wait for next week, I had a dream about going to the counter and buying one of the pretty face powders and a shimmery light blue gloss (?).

So do we actually know for sure which Mac collections are coming out in March? I thought it was Shop Cook, Vera, Nicky & Ricky, Tour de Fabulous and Chen Man, but now someone on the Reel Sexy thread said they're getting that but not getting Vera or TdF (although she's not in the UK, but EU). *confused*

I emailed MAC asking about Chen Man and Marcel Wanders 2 and was told we will be getting both on the 1st of March, I was also told Marcel Wanders 2 will be available online only

I'm not sure about Tour De Fabulous and Vera as I never asked about them. I'm going to hopefully try to skip everything now...I have too much makeup!!

I'd love to know, too.

It would be a bit odd getting Shop Cook and Reel Sexy at the same time, considering they both have Watch Me Simmer. I hope we do get Vera, as there are a couple of things I'd like from that.

I've received an email with a code, allowing me to buy Nicki early. Has anyone else had one yet? I didn't register on the specific mailing list for that, but it does say "We know you love Viva Glam" so perhaps it goes out to people who have bought Viva Glam lippies before?

I'm also skipping Marcel Wanders 2 (way too expensive, and the colours don't appeal either) and while I was thinking about Force Of Love lipstick from Chen Man, I might give that one a miss as i also have way too much makeup lol. I'm still planning on getting a few more bits from Shop Cook, and Vera too if we get it. I might get a couple of lip lines from Tour de Fabulous if we get that, too, since I don't have many of those. I'm skipping the glosses, though

 

[Anitacska]

I e-mailed Mac a while ago about Vera, but they never responded. I really really want to get the pigment stacks and powders, so I hope we get them, otherwise I need to start looking for another alternative.

Temptalia said that the Too Supreme collection is coming out in March too. Just how many collection are there going to be next month???

 

[LMD84]

too supreme is only march for the states and we shall be april

 

[Anitacska]

After a very snotty e-mail from Mac (basically saying sign up to the e-mails if you want to know about the launches) I tried asking through the live chat and got some answers! Here's the transcript below:

Anita: Hello, I'd like to find out if the Vera collection will be available to buy in the UK at all? Thanks.
Danni: yes it will be launching onthe 1st march 2012
Anita: also, is it coming to the counters too?
Danni: yes
Anita: what about chen man?
Danni: this to will be launching on the 1st March 2012
Anita: do you know how many collections are ther next month at all?
Danni: yes one moment whilst i check for you
Danni: there are 9 launches on the 1st March2012
Anita: wow, that is a lot!
Danni: i know it is a lot, some of the collections are larger like SHOP MAC COOK MAC
Danni: And then the smaller ones are WATERFAST ZOOM LASH MASCARA
Danni: And MAC and MARCEL WANDERS is exclusive to online only
Anita: thank you very much for your help
Danni: No worries, im glad that I could help you this evening
Danni: have a great night
Danni: Thank you for visiting MAC Live Chat!

So there you go, 9 collections! I didn't ask about everything, but that seems to be Shop Mac, Cook Mac, Vera, Chen Man, MW2, Waterfast Zoom Mascara, Nicky & Ricky, which is 7, so there's 2 more to go - Lightfully and Tour de Fabulous perhaps? We'll see. I mostly care about Vera, I want a couple of things from Chen Man and 3-4 lipsticks from Shop Mac, and maybe the NIcky lipstick. I will not be paying for the MW2 overpriced stuff for sure.

OMG one of the mac artists just tweeted this... MAC & Marylin. A iconic match. October. 2012. I am so excited!!! Could this be a Marylin Monroe icon collection?!?

 

[rockin]

I am so excited!!! Could this be a Marylin Monroe icon collection?!?

Yep, it is indeed A 30 piece collection, apparently

 

[rockin]

Holy smoke, 9 collections?????

I'm skipping MW2 and the mascara for certain. I'm going to seriously have to cut down my list on some of the others

Why can't they be like other companies and only issue 1 a month, or 2 at most? A lot of MAC's collections are bigger than other companies' as well. Then they make them limited edition, so you can't hope to afford all you want before they disappear from sale

 

[amy_forster]

OMG... She's tweeted a link to an article!!!! It's a Marylin Monroe collection :-0 http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/fash-track/mac-marilyn-monroe-makeup-collection-293318

I didn't get any pre-order e-mails from Mac, so they must have sent it to people who purchased Viva Glam items online?

I'll be happily skipping most of the March collections. Only 2 lippies from Shop, Cook and 1 lippie + lg from Chen Man. In April, on the other hand, I'll be getting most eyeshadows from Extra Dimension. God, I'm such a sucker for cool new eyeshadow finishes!
