MAC - Dress Camp Discussion

[darkishstar]

Darn I missed out of Fashion lipglass. I was going to get it if it ever restocked... because I won't be getting more than 1 or 2 Dazzleglass and one thing from NN. I'm sad now.

Anyone have a spare to sell? I'll buy it via paypal.

[shootergirlnc]

well, I guess we can expect a surge of the l/g's to appear on ebay......

[macmistress]

yeah *sigh* it sucks to be in england..

[sitasati]

OMG I can't believe I did this. I called a store in Taiwan to ship out the whole collection to me.

[BeautyPsycho]

LOL! How much is it going to cost, if you don't mind me asking?

[mizuki~]

Yeah, I'm curious to know how much it's going to cost you too

I really wanted She-Gold l/g and the pallette Can Australian buyers buy off the US website?

Edit: PLEASE if anyone is able to do a CP for She-Gold please PM me, I don't care where you have to ship it from I'll wait as long as I have one. And if anyone's selling one reasonably priced please PM me too. TIA!...I know my chances are slim

Someone PM'd me here asking if I wanted She Gold but it was from singapore :\ So I said no. I don't want to pay $30+ for some gloss no matter how good it is. lol

That's how much MAC glosses normally cost in Australia.

[Strawberrybaby]

i got my palette shipping from singapore from a friend of mine. and she charge me USD60 without shipping =x

[macmistress]

Well same here! I am from England I was majorly gutted that we dont have it here. The store is miles away and I am lumbered with online shopping.

If anyone reads this and does not mind buying the collection and shipping it to me, i would appreciate it looooadss! honest!

[marciehelene]

my order shipped. everything awful in the world always happens so i was like watch something go wrongggg. but atlas, smooth sailing for once hahaha. ^_^

[darkishstar]

If Taiwan still has it.. I am so going to ask my relatives there to get me Fashion lipglass!

Damn.
What the hell lol.

[sitasati]

lol ..I have to call her back tonite because she said the post office was closed. But yeah Taiwan still has dress camp ..most stores do. It was hard to communicate with the employees though. I called a few stores. I got the numbers off of the mac website. I called vancouver and san fran and japan they were all sold out.

I'll let you guys know the price once I find out but I'm willing to pay for the shipping if I can get a good price on the whole collection itself. I refuse to buy from ebay! I even wrote a huge letter to MAC complaining about how "limited" these LE collections are and it's not fair to loyal customers to not be able to get their hands on these great items.

[macmistress]

do let us know sitasati id love to buy it from taiwan if the price is decent enuf. And the tel number thhnnxxx

[chocodcocoa]

taiwanese retail is *about* the same as canadian mac prices + ontario's 13% tax.

[darkishstar]

Woo woo. Requested my aunt to go get me the fashion lipglass. Not the lipstick...
I won't ask for the palette though, it's too expensive to justify. My relatives would laugh at me. xD

This soooo sounds like something I would do!

I did buy 2 additional Too Fab off of Ebay fairly reasonable 1 before the collection launched & 1 after. But the one after, in Singapore, said they buy direct from their MAC store & they are not sold out at all.

[shootergirlnc]

When you think about it, the palette was restocked, then the lipglasses were restocked. I'm wondering if they'll restock the lipstick next, even for a couple of hours since that's what they did with the other products in the collection. This sounds so lame, but I've been checking everyday to see if that's happened. I freaking LOVE too fab with she gold over it! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

[darkishstar]

I think there is just clearly less of a MAC craze in Asia lol.

[sitasati]

ok ...$36 dollars for lipglass, 40 for lipstick and 52 for the pallette.

[CellyCell]

I got the pallette and well, you guys aren't missing out on much.

[sitasati]

I think I will just buy it off of ebay. Because the prices are about the same. Grrrrrr I hate ebay!

[stv578]

I finally got a chance to try everything out today. I must say, I'm so glad that I decided to order the palette after all (ordered it from the Vancouver store the day it came out). The colours are light but show up nicely. I used all three colours and used Vanilla pigment on the brow bone and some mascara. It was such a simple, quick yet very pretty eye that really brightened up my face. I also tried Too Fab with she-gold over it, loooove. But I did find that using the pink beauty powder from the palette was just too much pink with the lipstick, though they're both so pretty separately. I'm pretty sure I'll be using this palette a lot this summer!!! Maybe a nude lipstick with She-Gold will be better when I use the DC pink powder and just some bronzer on the cheeks when I use Too Fab! Either way, I'm happy

Edit - So I tried the palette and used Honeylove on my lips with She-Gold. The perfect neutral look for me. This will be my go-to palette when i finally return to work this summer.

I think it might be due to the fact that things are a whole lot more expensive here (I'm in Malaysia). For example, lippies cost abt $63 (local currency) if i'm not wrong, and pigments are like $80 each, compared to in US where a lippie costs $14 and pigments are $19.50. So as much as i want to feed my addiction to MAC, i need to control it as it ends up getting real expensive after awhile.

But on the plus side, collections don't sell out as fast, so i don't need to be in a mad rush each time a new collection comes out.

Well, you have to consider the conversion to the US currency. In Taiwan, the lipglass is $580, which is about $19USD. Which isn't that much more expensive that it isn't affordable. Actually, the lipglass should be $16.50, like Canadian price, but they already add tax to everything, which is why it is $19. In fact, Dior, Anna Sui, Shu Uemura are actually even crazier in prices. And obviously it is more expensive due to the fact that MAC is in US, so it has to be imported.

I still think that I don't see MAC is very popular in Asia because of the bright colors and the more hip/edgy look. The Asian demographic (going from my cousins and magazines I've seen) is for more lighter and shimmery neutral colors that make the wearer look very cute. It might be in Japan though, because there is a big punk population there, but not in Taiwan.
