Thread Starter 

mac's new stuff is online and i can't believe how much the electric cool shadows are! £19 each?! not being funny but my chanel ones were £23 and that is more of a 'high end' brand if you know what i mean. i was going to buy two but may just get the one now. i shall wait until the hit debenhams too because i want beauty points. i'm trying to get to £15 on my card to use towards a chanel foundation because that will make it about half price :)

£19!!! MAC are having a laugh.  I don't know about others but lately with the price increases and now this I feel a little alienated by MAC, I haven't bought in months.  I mean its now £35 for a quad, thats the same price as an estee lauder quint and I know which one i'd rather get (don't start me on the £5 increase in the new velvet underground quint though).

 

 If MAC are not careful there going to start out pricing there targert audience, if they haven't already started to already.

£19? Hmm, I'm not sure if I will pick up any at this rate. I was actually hoping they would do a nice green one, but there isn't even one. I will look at them in person hopefully on Sunday, and see if I want any of them. I have also just ordered six of the new Estee Lauder eyeshadows. 

 

I was also sort of interested in the red lip bag, but at £31 it's not really a good value. Also the make up bags look god awful imo.

Interesting - the Electric Cool eyeshadows are showing as £19 each, but if you add them to your basket they go in at £14.50 each

post #5015 of 7764

That's more like it. :)

 

Now they're actually showing as £14.50 each.

Hmm, I only see 39 nail colours, not 40. I don't see the 'online only' red sparkly one

post #5017 of 7764

Maybe we're not getting it?

They seem to be on the Harrods website at the moment anyway.  I'm not going for them, I thought I would, but got a (possible) holiday to think of, and they're not REALLY a necessary, are they???

post #5019 of 7764

Thank you! I might order Violet Rain. It's so pretty!

 

By the way, are any of the new Mac collections Mac (online) exclusives? None of them are up on Debenhams despit it being Wednesday already.

I managed to swatch most of the new Estee Lauder eyeshadows (singles) today in Boots.  There are some beautiful colours.  Magenta does look rather like the swatches of MAC's Infra-Violet, although how close it is I don't know.  Marine (can't remember the full name) is beautiful, as is Cyber Pink and Pistachio and the purple one.  The one that surprised me was Arctic Sky, which looked rather grey in the pot, but when swatched is a kind of lilac/pink duochrome - I'm very tempted by that one in particular. The drawback with these, compared to the Electric Cool eyeshadows, is of course that the EL ones are £19 and you get less in them than in the £14.50 MAC ones.

I wondered that, too, as they aren't up on House Of Fraser yet either.

Do any of you ladies know how long it takes for shipping from Aus to UK?  Been waiting on something for about 2 and a half weeks.

Debenhams have started to put up Electric Cool and the nail polishes. It seems Illustrated is Mac exclusive (if I remember right, the Nordstrom exclusives usually are).

 

The new Guerlain collection is up on Debenhams! 

post #5024 of 7764

It's on Selfridges too - I'm still thinking of it, but I also love the new Nars lip gloss - Rouge Tribal, so trying to decide - by the time I've decided they'll probably both be gone :)  Does anyone know when the Guerlain release is due?  I hope it's before we go away - if we do (son recovering slowly from his surgery, and his trip to Africa is off - luckily he can still come away with us to The Netherlands, as we have a big enough lodge).

It can take ages - if customs decided to take a look it makes it take even longer :(

MUA have a new offer.  Not sure how long it's for though

 

 

Use promo code MUA25 when you spend £10 to get your 25% off and then select free shipping on the shipping screen!

post #5029 of 7764

HoF have a few of the Electric Cool eyeshadows up, but at £19 each

It depends whether it was sent airmail or surface, and if Customs decide to stop the package and check it.  My sister lives in Australia, and I recently sent her a DVD via airmail which arrived in about 12 days.  With surface mail, I have been advised to send up to 12 weeks before Christmas or her birthday, to ensure things arrive in time.  Even then, some have arrived within a couple of months, so it's a bit of a lottery.

post #5031 of 7764

What do you mean everything is sold out? Most of the Guerlain fall collection is permanent, but also, I can see everything in stock on Debenhams. 

 

They still don' t have the Electric Cool eyeshadows up though.

On Debenhams site - go to Electric Cool, click on the eyeshadow brush, and a list of the eyeshadows will appear on the right hand side of that page.

 

 

I've just phoned House Of Fraser to enquire as to whether the £19 pricetag was an error, and the lady told me the price on the website is correct.  I told her they won't be selling many at that price

post #5033 of 7764

Don't forget to use Topcashback.  Debenhams are currently doing 3% for spends of up to £79.99, 7% for spends of £80 to £119.99 and 10% above that

post #5034 of 7764

Maybe there's something wrong with my laptop, but at the moment all the things seem to be out of stock, or else not listed any more?

...and it was all there on mine when I tried again :)  Probably would have been better for my credit card if it hadn't been eeksign.gif :)

Well, you don't have to buy everything at once as it's all permanent except for the two Kiss Kiss glosses. ;) Those are listed among the Kiss Kiss Extrait glosses by the way (but are priced differently).

 

What did you get?

I got two of the Rouge G L'Extraitm Lipsticks, the Les Fauves palette, two of the new Rouge G lipsticks and the darker of the two Kiss Kiss Extrait glosses.  I'm still thinking about the blushes, but I'm always disappointed with blushes somehow, and will probably stick with my collection of one - an Estee Lauder True Colour that I've had for ages, and hardly made a dent in!  Might go back for another couple of the lipsticks, depends on finances at the end of the summer holidays :)

I also ordered 2 of the new Rouge G L'Extrait glosses (25 and 41, plus I managed to get 71 on eBay for about half he price last week), one of the new lipsticks (Gracy) and the pink Kiss Kiss gloss. I want to see Fauves in person and also the blushes and the remainder of the lip products.

 

Has anyone ordered anything from Mac? I've ordered two of the eyeshadows, the yellow one and the grey/taupe one. I'll see the other ones in person, but they seem to be similar to other eyeshadows I have, plus I ended up ordering all of the new EL eyshadows - oops! :)
