Argghh, I have AP and I love love love it and am telling myself I don't need Ronnie Red because of that, but your recommendation is not helping my already sad willpower.

I... will swatch it and see what happens. Yeah, that's it. I'll sensibly swatch RR and not outright buy it...

I wouldn't get RR unless you know you're gonna use AP a lot. They look exactly the same. RR could be a backup once your AP runs out.

I don't think I'll be getting my Firm Form :(

I ordered yesterday and stupidly just chose standard shipping instead of next day/named day. Now it's sold out and I know they deal with priority shipping orders first so I will probably miss out. This has happened every time I've used regular shipping on an LE collection - I don't know why I did it again!!

Oh well - If I don't get it in the post then I can just go to a counter next week I suppose.

That's a shame :(

I was under the impression that Strength was online only. At least it is in the Netherlands (and in the US, to the best of my knowledge). So in the UK you have in store too?

Did anyone get BUs of Taupe Shape? I'm considering getting a BU but I can't decide if it's worth it. Aaaargh! It'll be long gone by the time I make up my mind.

Oh, who knows?! Someone mentioned in another thread that a MAC live chat person said it will be at stores/counters, but MAC employees don't know what they're on about most of the time!

Aw, thank you - that's kind :) If I don't manage to get it I will definitely let you know!

Nooooo, the lippies are all sold out on the UK site already :( I really hope this does come to counters or I am SOL. I really wanted Strong Woman at a minimum.

Sigh. I did a live chat to see if this is coming to stores/counters in the UK as I've missed out online, and the response was, it's out on the 7th, check the site on the 5th as it might be online earlier. Um yeah, like yesterday and it's already sold out. That's why I want to know if I'll be able to get it anywhere else. They really aren't kept informed, are they?  I couldn't get a definite answer as to if it would be available in physical locations either. Sooo annoyed with myself that I didn't order as soon as it appeared.

Okay all you PiPi lovers!!!  I intentionally skipped this l/s because I'm on a no-buy for bright pinks.  However, I forgot to use the g/c I was saving for the AG collection when I placed my order, so now I'm debating getting PiPi with my g/c.  Is it really worth it?  Or does it get lost in the shuffle of all your other bright pinks?  TIA!

I placed an order with Mac UK yesterday, and now I'm also afraid I'm not getting my lippies because they are sold out. Before, items have sold out while they have been processing my order.

I can live without the lippies but I don't want to receive a half empty package and pay GBP 18 for the shipping!

The voice of reason! Thanks, I needed someone to talk sense into me 

Edit - Actually I have, now that I think about it. Shiseido's Modulative Blusher (whatever that is) in Neutral Beiges. I even have a pic to prove it!

A headcount of 5 isn't at all bad for 10 years! Did you repurchase them? Well, the perm ones anyway.

It was a surprise to see TPC in the list. MM was out in what, September last year?

I didn't know that about TPC. I thought it was first released with Marilyn. It's time P&P was repromoted too 

Still undecided re: Taupe Shape.- I like the colour on me but I'm also planning on getting Sculpt so I don't know a BU is necessary.

Yup, I want it for contouring. I haven't managed to make it work as a blush yet. It looks a bit off.

Sculpt it is then! 

I ordered Strong Woman (collection was released today - okay well actually yesterday but I haven't slept yet ;)) and missed out on Party Parrot... Hope the Dutch website will restock!
