They "do", but 1) they do not ship Mac (or makeup in general) internationally and 2) it cost's about USD 50 to ship anything...

Actually, does anyone know any online retailer which sells Mac internationally?

EDIT: Selfrigdes still has it in stock.

Alas, Selfridges charges £5 for postage :o

If I find it then it is meant to be, and if I don't then I will live haha

With some bronzer and that fantastic red lipglass from Hey Sailor, it's a guaranteed look with a red dress!

 

Then again, Infra-Violet makes a super flattering look that doesn't look overdone - good with shimmery pale lips.

 

Blacklit will be my most used year-round. I haven't opened my Dynamo yet - waiting until things are a little bit more fall-sy before breaking it open. I'm going to love that one with Cusp of Dawn and Strictly Plutonic.

 

I didn't really get into the neutrals from this collection, even though they'd be lovely on others. For neutral eyes, I figure I'll just wait for the pressed pigments!

Oh I'm waiting for my delivery of Dynamo right now.  I can't wait to try it.  I will try Cusp of Dawn and Strictly Plutonic with it. Good idea.  I was just about to go search for info on the pressed pigments.  When are these coming out?

I used Infra-Violet on 2/3rd of the lid and Highly Charged on the outer 1/3rd yesterday (along with Midnight Snack fluidline), and I loved it! It held up amazingly well, given that I was outside in muggy, 90 degree weather for hours. No creasing or fading.

I know L'Oreal's Perpetually Purple is supposed to be a dupe for HC, but there is no comparison for me. HC is so easy to apply and so vibrant. PP is a pain and not worth the time without foiling it. Even then, it's still not up to snuff with HC for me.

I had zero interest in this collection til I saw this.  I immediately went to two stores to buy Pure Flash and Love Power.  The Pure Flash was taken from out back since it had shifted and was in their return pile and the Love Power required checking 5 stores.  I so should have just ordered them online but there you go ~ you enabled!

Ive seriously been using Pure Flash almost every day. I bought a backup of it since I use it so much...which i never do with anything.

These are so lovely in pan I can't wait to try them.  While waiting to get them, I tried the Loreal infallibles and I was really impressed with them as well.  What brushes are you ladies using with these?  I am afraid to mess them up.  I am not averse to using my fingers if that is what works...

In pan, the acid yellow one is my favorite

Maybe these new disposable applicators would be good to use. http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/9392/22079/New-Collections/New-Accessories/Accessories/Eye-Applicator/index.tmpl

242, 252, and 286 work best IMO.

For someone who wasn't going to get any of these... How did I end up with 4!?  LOL

Coil, Superwatt, Pure Falsh, and Infra Violet are all now sitting in my stash.  That DIVA IV...

The MUA who helped me at Nordstrom's told me to use the 239. I had a feeling that wasn't right, but I tried it anyway. It is workable, but you have to pat on the eyeshadow and layer it repeatedly.

I found a 242 at my CCO and plan to try that next time.

Honey, I blame you for the new Loreal lemmings I have and I got as many as I could in addition to six of these electric cool e/s.  And yeah, I may do a "Peacocky manouver" where I drive all over town trying to track down all the colors after they are out of stock.  I skipped the teal one, because the Loreal dupe looked close, I figured Coil was dupeable, and I don't need anymore gold/champagne, but the rest had to come home with me.

Cartoonchic, those disposeble eyeshadow applicators are a good idea, I think I could track down less expensive ones on ebay.  So far, I am thinking I will do my method I use with fluidlines, I break a Q-tip in half, use the "sterile" (broken end that hasn't been touched by my germy hand) into the pot and scoop out a tiny amount, smear it on my pinky finger or ring finger, and use the finger to apply...

That's a neat trick!

 HeeHee!  Sorry!  But luckily I was able to easily skip a lot of these colors due to those cheaper Infallibles, so I am glad I fell so in love with them!  I wanted to at least grab a couple of these ec ones to try... and had to get PF AND SW since people were going back and forth on which one it was that looked most like Vintage Selection PP (which I covet!)... then Shellcat said she liked Coil so much I got sucked into that one.  And damn IV taking her sweet time showing up made me all jumpy and added her to my cart during one of my By request orders!  She spooked me into buying her!  LOL But I really am more than happy with my Loreal babies to pass on the rest of these...

I am really glad to be enabled on those Loreal dupes because they are a rare find being such good quality MU bought at the drug store.  And it is crazy how often they have a BOGO at the Rite Aid, Walgreens and all those stores...I went in to get some cold medicine the other day and they had BOGO so I picked up Amber Rush and Endless Pearl.  Oops...

im not sure if this was mentioned previously, but im loving the 213 brush. I only purchased Love Power, and i use it as a lid color. But i used it today and im loving how precise it is.

 OMG!! AMBER RUSH is my #1 LOVE (so far) from this line!!  I use it ALL THE TIME as a "wash on the lid lightly up into the crease and go" look!  Tell me how you like it when you try it!!!

Were you talking about that earlier in this thread, or was that someone else?

I am going to wear this combo tomorrow for sure at this huge rock 'n roll bbq, with a little Dark Dare to wing out and shade under the eyes!!! I just painted my nails with China Glaze Surfin' For Boys, which is an awesome match with Party Parrot, but I might go contrasty and wear Heroine on the lips instead.

I am loving the formula of these! I have 7 colours and am contemplating more! What do you think of them?

The neutrals didn't do much for me - 'wanted to wait on the pressed pigments for that. The brights are mostly amazing. I'm totally in love with the 4 I have: Blacklit, Dynamo, Infra-violet and Fashion Circuit. I can't say I have a #1 favorite of these, but I think I'll have to BU Blacklit - it's becoming a weekly standard.

I tried Clarity over it today and man, that IS a beautiful combo, especially since my Clarity is mostly light colors. I put Blacklit just on the lid, not up into the crease, then applies Clarity dry over it, blending that into the crease and upwards. That was nice just as it was, but then I used Dark Dare EDES under the eyes and winged out from the outer corners of the upper lids. Gorgeous, and it lasted all day without any smearing or fading at a broiling hot, packed bbq.
