Re: Release dates for the UK

They've not contacted me but I didn't order anything other than the brush and pencil so maybe it's okay! a friend of mine's order isn't being delivered till Saturday and she ordered tomorrow!
and I say 131 since you can get the 188 anytime, and if you don't like the 131 you could sell or swap it for something (maybe the 188) where as the 188 you can get 188 in theory, whenever you want

Re: Release dates for the UK

Came across something that really annoyed/upset me last night.

I was being a good girl and tidying up the junkyard (aka my bedroom) and came across a receipt from 2008. I'd bought two pigments for the grand total of £22 back then!

So in the space of 2 years, the pigments have become way smaller and FOUR pounds more expensive! Ugh, I don't know why that's pissed me off so much, but it really has!

I spend way way way too much money at MAC as it is, but when I realise stuff like this it really makes me resent being such a loyal customer!

Sorry for the random rant guys, just thought some of you may share my pain, lol!

I think seeing that receipt really helped me out - it stopped me from really wanting anything from the current collections. Yay!

Lipglasses:

Easy Lounger
Flurry Of Fun

***However I am now tempted to get 'Splashing' too!***

Eyeshadows:

Sweet & Punchy is a definate BUT....

I am now debating over getting both
*Firecracker
*Shimmermoss [debatable since its a perm]

I am also torn between the cream bronzer and powder bronzer as I don't usually wear one [for ref i'm a nc50] so not sure of which will suit me.

Oooh and I also like the look of both Kohl pencils!

Do I order online or just wait till tomorrow and head down to the Pro Store in London to see everything in person!

If I had to answer to my Mum, I would hardly buy any make up as she would constantly ask me why I need more (she never wore any make up in her life!). Luckily for me my husband doesn't check our credit card statements and bank account, so has no idea how much I spend on make up every month! In my defence, I don't spend much on clothes, shoes, bags, etc., only have a haircut every 6 months or so and colour my hair at home, don't have manicures, pedicures, massages, etc., so make up is pretty much the only thing I spend money on (and a few accessories here and there).

Aah, that does suck. I'm too mean to pay for delivery, so will just have to wait, hopefully not too long now. Haven't heard anything from Mac, so hoping it'll arrive on Friday.

Re: Release dates for the UK

Well I've had a bit of a money squeeze so I think I'll just be looking at instant chic tomorrow if I get time (although what with the election, I may not). I did want the 131 and chromagraphic pencil, but if I miss out it won't kill me. I'm kind of hoping I don't like the blush in person since it would save me the cash, but when does that ever happen?!

I think I'm quite fortunate in that I don't like LE packaging so TTB is a miss for me. GMLOL was too for the same reason. I went a bit mad with Art Supplies though because I loved the LSMs, and SCF because I kept going back!

Re: Release dates for the UK

I made a list earlier. I wrote down all the collections from the past few months & tried to remember all I bought for each. Then I highlighted everything on that list that I hadn't touched in over a month. 80% was included. And I still haven't more than swatched my By candlelight (from my rant about 10 pages back) or used my SCF stuff. I looove my LoL stuff but have only worn each lipstick/lipglass 1x if at all. it makes me sad. I don't have the time to use what I have, I need to stop buying

I know what you mean. I just looked through all my orders from MAC online. Of the 25 or so items I have brought since January I have used a grand total of three more than once. I need to stop buying too!

I know what you mean. I've been collecting for a long time now and I have so much I just don't use. My makeup tastes have changed a lot in the last 2 years which hasn't helped - I have a whole 15-pan palette of brights that I haven't touched in about a year :-/

I just got an e-mail from Mac saying my PAP order has been dispatched (so hopefully get it tomorrow, if the courier can be bothered to bring it out), but my TTB order is still "In warehouse pending".

Me too. All of my recent purchases have been face products (blushes, MSFs etc) which I do at least use. I've been splitting all my pigment jars and getting rid of quite a few eyeshadows on MUA. I'm trying to ration myself to those kind of purchases now because I can at least justify them to myself in that I will use them. I tried to do eyeshadow the other day (with my photorealism quad) and I'd forgotten how much it makes my eyes hurt and itch. So I'm not sure when I'll do an eye look again. The last time I wore one out was before Christmas

My order is 'in warehouse' still too, usually it would've been dispatched by now, seems like TTB is held up for some reason!

Mine is out for delivery too, but the courier doesn't always bother to bring it on the same day, so I'm not getting too excited yet.

Kirsty, did you order any TTB stuff? I have two separate orders and only the PAP one is coming.

Also, has anyone been to a Mac counter today? Is all the TTB stuff out?

Re: Release dates for the UK

I got a 130 brush which technically is TTB, but it was on the site already so no.

How come you placed PAP & TTB orders seperate, I thought they got added at the same time Maybe not, I wasnt paying much attention.

Anyone think TTB lippies will sell out?? I want to b2m for Lazy Day, but I forgot my bag of empties so I was hoping to pop in tomorrow. I hope I don't cave & get the lovely orange w. green shimmers lipglass

Re: Release dates for the UK

I dont know if I like this business of getting the collections before the US. I like to be inundated with swatches & comparisons to help me make my decision, cause I hate visiting the store for more than 1 or 2 items. There are hardly any around boo

My box just came, abit late I was starting to worry. Instant Chic is soo pretty. I can't believe how small the 180 is, it's too cute!

Oh & the Highlight Powder is outta there!

I was mainly interested in TTB, and only saw those items at first, so I placed the order with just them. I later saw that PAP was up as well, so placed another order (both over £50, so free shipping). I'm happy I did that now as at least I will get my PAP order - hopefully - today!

OMG the highlight powder has already sold out on the UK site!!! Probably because it was featured in Marie Claire this month....

Re: Release dates for the UK

Hey everyone! Not been around in a while, didn't want to tempt myself when I had no money to spend!

I've been going through my stash (small by most standards) and selling off products I've not used and am making a small amount from that.

Summer stuff doesn't interest me much, luckily, but I like the look of Instant Chic! Do I need it if I have Ripe Peach? How similar are they?

Are you skipping pret a papier then?

And btw, which items did you get?
Yeah I recently treated myself to booking a nice holiday to go on at the end of Summer, so really I should be holding back when it comes to getting out the plastic!

Sometimes a collection will come out and there are loads of products worth getting, for me that happened with Spring Colour Forecast but sometimes collections just aren't that inspiring. I have totally skipped PAP and from TTB I got Beach Bound l/s (because it looked interesting, I might regret the decision later...) and also Lazy Day l/s plus the Marine Life highlight powder. I depot e/s and blushes and I'd feel terrible destroying such nice packaging so that cut a lot of products out too!

I was planning to go see TTB either tomorrow or Saturday but it'll probably be launched next week!

Re: Release dates for the UK

I got mine too! Haven't touched anything yet, will go to the counter tomorrow and test them all out, see if I actually like them, everything seems a bit bland right now. (I got Instant Chic, Made to Order, Fold and Tuck and Pret A Papier.)

So if TTB isn't launching this week, does that mean they won't be sending the orders out this week either?
