Nice one! 

How much are the palettes? I want to go but I'd be majorly pissed if I they're sold out. All that fuss for nothing.

Thanks! I believe €45-46, without any discount. You can also call and ask if they can hold one for you. I did that once for a nail polish and they were ok with it.

Yeah, I could try calling them I suppose. Only I remember trying to call them a while back (can't remember why) and the phone number they have on the website didn't work. Either way, I don't think I'll have time to go in the next few days because there's too much stuff on at work. I could have finished a bit early on Friday but they've scheduled a stupid strategy meeting for the whole afternoon

How strange that the phone number didn't work. I don't get sephora on the phone directly, but someone from V&D (the store sephora is located in). I just ask if they can direct me to sephora and they do. I hope you'll be able to get your palette(s)!

I've used Forever Marilyn daily since I got the powder and I love it! I'm going to see how the new NARS powder compares to it. I also use Legenday a lot, and Deeply Adored was the lipstick I used for my wedding. Of course, I've been using a lot of my reds every since my husband said they're his favorite on me

Yes, please get back to us on how it compares, I'd love to know!  TIA!

I'd be shocked if FM showed up @ cco.

That and the lipsticks were highly sought after.

Heck, I'd be shocked if any of the lip sticks make it.

I may break my no-buy and check out my local cco next month.

Maybe it was a temporary problem with their phone line. It was a long time ago. Calling V&D directly is a good idea though. Thanks!

Not that I'm getting the pesky palettes any time soon. Cult Nails just started a 25% off sale (runs until the 8th). Let's just say I was overenthusiastic...

That would be a great idea. However, I had to make a jugdement call today as to how much money I would wire to my credit card because otherwise it will definately not be processed in time (I assume it will release this Thursday on MAC UK). Unfortunately the money came late as it was... I didn't wire extra money  I'm so sorry...

I decided to wait for the release here. I also told myself that if I don't get the pro discount I will restrict myself to the B + V PMs and perhaps one or two lipsticks. I can dupe the Veronica quad, I can dupe the Veronica quad, I can dupe the Veronica quad..... BB is like FoL and RS, flamingo, cut a caper, I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it... 

If several interesting collections go online in the UK at the same time, I might order in the UK then. I do hope we can all score what we want. 

What's your wish list?

That's no problem at all;) I thought I could help you out that way too. I bought myself some Ruby Woo yesterday, so I have a new lippie to enjoy untill Archie's Girls!

I want:

Spoiled Rich quad

Lucky In Love pigment

Prom Princess blush

Veronica's Blush pearlmatte

Flatter Me pearlmatte

Daddy's Little Girl l/s (+ BU)

Ronnie Red l/s

Betty Bright l/s

I'm sure you can dupe the Spoiled Rich quad, but I actually don't have that many purple shadows, so for me it's still a bit unique. I do not have FoL or CaC and like Satins a lot so Betty Bright it is. Unless I really dislike it when swatched. I prefer the other two lippies on my list though I think.

I also hope you can get everything you want!

Oh, NOOOOOOO! Now I'm getting really pissed off with Mac UK, too. They have just released 3 collections, all on different days, and if they are going to launch now the AG too, what's going to happen in April??! I can't order 3-4 times in a week or so and pay 18 GBP for shipping each time!

That sucks. Can't you ask them to consolidate the orders?

Is Archie's not coming to Finland?

They don't hold the orders. I think that's what you mean? At least that's what I have been told before...

I don't know but I may ask about it if it is possible. Thank you for the suggestion. We all know you have to order once it is on the site. If there just was enough stock... but that won't happen.

Yes, it will come eventually. But I have no trust on them any more. We got the AC Collection like 4 weeks late (this was not necessarily Mac's flault, but anyways), BUT when the collection finally came out we got only one (1!) lippie out of 5! Also one MB and at least one liner was a no-show. Plus we won't get any AG accessories.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Like, if you place an order on Monday and another on Thursday, asking them to ship them together. Too bad they don't do it

They don't. As a matter of Fact I placed an order once. After hanging up the phone I realized that I forgot 1 or 2 items. I immediately called back to try and add that / those item(s) to my first order, but they said that wasn't possible.  Needless to say I cancelled the second part...

That's crazy. MAC Canada will add to a shipment if it hasn't gone out yet. I've called a couple of times to consolidate two shipments or upgrade shipping with a free express code and they've always checked to see if it was still in the warehouse and combined if they could.

Gwen Stefani just tweeted a picture of her vanity with Forever Marilyn lying on top. Smart girl!

Haha that's so cute. What is she using the CDs for, mixing?

Wow, She uses a lot of MAC stuff!

Nice tweet!

I like Gwen Steffani. I would love MAC to collaberate with her, but I think she's still representing L'Oreal.

That's how it should be...

Probably, or maybe for applying lashes?

I don't understand why she wasn't at least a Viva Glam girl before L'Oreal. She has raved about MAC her entire career and would be perfect.

that's so true, Gwen has to be at least a Viva Glam girl ç_____ç

she's gorgeous and not afraid of bold lipsticks...

Here's a picture of me wearing Deeply Adored on my wedding day. My makeup artist did it more as a stain, but I loved the end result

I really have fun imagining GS or her assistant refreshing Specktra and MAC frantically to score FM on its release night.

Love the little red details with the white dress!
