Ooh good plan! It does seem "boring" though, that's why I skipped the collection, except IC which will be pretty for my pasty face.

Re: Release dates for the UK

I hope mine dispatches soon, I want my MAC!

Edit: Also it does seem silly that it isn't going out on counters until next week, maybe the online team made a boo boo and haven't been able to decide whether to send orders or not?

Re: Release dates for the UK

Re: Release dates for the UK

I went to Nottingham today too & was dissapointed that TTB wasn't out :-( I picked up some PAP stuff but I really wanted lazy day lippie from TTB :-( Oh well, it just means another trip to mac next week :-)

Re: Release dates for the UK

When I went to the store today they only had PAP out. I picked up Instant Chic and that is absolutely it for this month because I'm broke. But that's fine by me since that was all I really wanted. I'd like a chromagraphic pencil, but if they're coming to the pro stores then that can wait.

Re: Release dates for the UK

I ordered yesterday morning & my order is showing as 'Dispatched' on the MAC site but I'm yet to receive an email with a tracking number. I only ordered Hipness from TTB along with a couple of regular items as I wanted to see swatches of everything else- I want my pretties!

Re: Release dates for the UK

My local MAC counter (in Dublin) had both PAP and TTB today - we usually get them at the same as the UK.

In Cork, they only had Pret A Papier, and said TTB is out next week. Gives me more time to save!

Re: Release dates for the UK

Tried my Mineralize foundation on this morning. It's too dark , got the orange face going on, but i'm probably the only one who notices. It is very dewy/shiny but has worked wonders on my flaky nose skin

My next quest is NARS Siberia, if that isn't light enough there is no hope.

Hello, i was just wondering if your mineralize is an nw ? Im always looking a bit orange if i go for nw but i find nc perfect....i also have some nars sheer glow in gobi if youre interested. I find this to be lighter than nc15 in mac but only just.

Re: Release dates for the UK

My order has been dispatched finally! Does anyone know whether it'll be delivered tomorrow even though I haven't paid for Saturday delivery? My orders usually arrive the next day after being dispatched

I'd say probably not, but I hope I'm wrong!

I got my little black box today and that Seahorse powder is so gorgeous! And Hipness blush and Thrills lipstick! Love them all!

If anyone's interested, I've posted some pictures on my blog: Pleasureflush: Mac To The Beach haul part 1

Also went to my local counter this morning to check out PAP and happy to say that I liked all the things I'd ordered online (wanted to test them at the counter first in case I want to return anything). I also picked up Tissueweight and Cut to Fit e/s. Annoyingly they only had one Coral Crepe paintpot left and no tester, so didn't get that as I didn't want to buy it without testing it. Probably miss out on it completely now, but won't use it anyway, don't think, I prefer coral on my lips and cheeks.

Oh and picked up Love Nectar lusterglass because that was what they had instead of C-Thru (?) and I loved it so much, love the texture of lusterglass and the colour is so wow too! Oh and they had Bare Study paint pot out instead of Coral Crepe and it's so gorgeous! I'm pretty new to Mac so always finding new things that I love. Didn't get it though, because I've already spent almost £200 at Mac this week!

Nope, i'm an NC15 I find that i've been matched with this because it's lighter than NW (also I have warm skin, too). Studio Sculpt NC15 was a great match as it ran light, but Fix Fluid NC15 I cant ever wear this, not even in summer.

If you can part with a sample, please pm me. I'm starting to think I'm an NC10 which doesn't exist, great!!

Oh no, damn you! Splashing looks worthy, although I will put it on my MUA wishlist & hold out for a swap. I got told off by the OH yesterday for spending too much on make-up, he was mad at me. I was like I only got 3 things, go look at the other Specktra girls hauls, I did good!!! However, I did just place a £85 sugarpill order which i'm waiting on, eek!

The Highlight powder is too gorgeous, but I couldn't use it & so couldn't justify buying it as art.

Well if Studio Sculpt in NC15 is okay for you, try the mont blanc insted. it's too dark for me and Siberia is perfect

Re: Release dates for the UK

Kirsty just pm me your address and ill get some sent off to you x
Ive just been to look at the collection and quite liked the bronze polish,it was very pretty so depending on funds i may well pick it up. Also ive just been to check out the topshop makeup line and i really like it (apparently its made in the same factories as MAC). I bought the gold crayon £7 which is like a shadestick but much softer and it stays put !!! Id liken its colour to the illamasquas solstice. I also picked up a blush in butterscotch £6 which ill add on top of my bronzer. All in all im really impressed so far and will go back for more after payday...

I saw the Top Shop collection too, and to be honest, I was really impressed with their range! The quality is about at par with MAC imo, the range of products just isn't as big. I got that gold crayon too, as well as the gold highlight powder. It's so pigmented and finely milled, just divine! I've been checking out their blushes too, which are so soft and pigmented cream to powder finish ones. I wanted to pick up the coral one (Neon Rose) and one of the nudes, but I'll hold out for some other day.

Their lipglosses strangely reminded me of MAC's though. Quite sticky, and a faint vanilla scent! They had a doe foot applicator too, but I guess that's pretty standard among glosses. Top Shop only had a few shades though but they are super gorgeous.

Just Marine Life, Lazy Day and Beachbound. Posted some photos in the swatches thread for TTB if anyone is interested. I don't think I've seen anyone else with a Beachbound there yet!

Ooh the photos look beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.

How are you liking Marine Life? Did you think it was worth the purchase, product-wise? (Apart from the pretty-ness I mean)

You're welcome! And I really do like Marine Life as a shade, for me being so pale I will be mostly wearing it as a blush which makes it doubly great but the only downside is that it is very similar to Ripe Peach. I held them next to each other and the darker sides are almost identical. The lighter side on Marine Life is slightly more pink and subdued than coral though which makes it a little different. Swirled this also gives a nice result, perhaps a little nicer than Ripe Peach even! Marine Life is quite shimmery too, which may put some people off as it's just down to personal preference. I might have preferred it to be matte but all in all I'm glad I didn't pass on it as I reckon I'll get lots of good usage.

Awesome. I deliberately missed out on Ripe Peach because it just didn't 'wow' me. A lot of people have been having problems with the lighter shade of Ripe Peach, but love the darker side, so I now look forward to Marine Life!

Do you think you will be checking out the rest of the collection when its released in stores? Which other ones do you have your eye on? x

Now my list consists of

Lazy Day lipstick
Life's a breeze lip pencil
Marine Life
Get Away Bronze blush

Maybe

Beach Bronze creme bronzer - if the colour is a lot different from Refined Golden
Sand and Sun eyeshadow - if its different from Tete a Tint or Samoa Silk.

Re: Release dates for the UK

I'll be working the day of the release, luckily for me my MAC counter is literally across the road from my work so I'll probably go in for a nose anyway. I have about £15 on a Debenhams card so that may be spent on Life's A Breeze lipliner but that will most likely be it.

I wanted another Golden bronzer for the packaging as I've hit pan on my current one but eek I really know I shouldn't!

Re: Release dates for the UK

I just tracked my parcel online as it hasn't arrived yet... it says on the DHL site 'possible delay due to parcel damage' It was apparently 'repacked' & left the depot (again) just after 6pm, but it's obviously too late for it to arrive now until Monday *cries*
