To those of you feeling sick, hope you'll feel better soon!

I'm stalking the Douglas site for the collection to launch here, but nothing's happening. Now I can remember why I've been kinda oversaturated by all those launches... I got two more hours and then I gotta get out of the house/go to work, and wifi on the train is horrible/non-existent.
sigh.gif
I'm already stalking for a while, I'm super sleepy. I wish they would've put it up around 6 am like they used to, those were such easy launches.

Yeah, I agree. The later it gets, the more people are awake and stalking... I guess I'll go and have breakfast now. I managed to get ready/wash and do my hair and stuff without the collection launching, so I think EVERYTHING will sell out while I'm making my sandwiches, lol.

Hope everyone feels better soon! They are the worst. Good luck to all you stalkers. I think this isn't a huge hyped collection so I think you'll have plenty of time to order :)

Thank you! I'm getting really bored of stalking right now. In half an hour I gotta leave the house, so I guess I'll check my counter during my lunch break. If I just had known that this was not launching early...I'm quite sleepy

Mac launches always make me turn from happily excited to a point where I'm just tired of Mac and annoyed, thinking "I don't care about that stuff, other brands/shops can take my money instead".
Although I've not experienced US launches myself, they seem to be quite okay in comparison to this.

I just fell asleep with the laptop on my chest and woke up from my own snoring.

Haven't stalked a collection in a while, I forgot how much I hate it, lol.

Well you can be glad you had a nap! :) This just sucks. Hope my counter will have everything today, I'm leaving town for my dad's birthday for a few days this evening so I hope concentrating on the counter launch will work.

They just updated the site and added some stuff, but only Armani etc, no MAC. This better not be delayed.

I figure it will have more than the last few collections. Like the spring one last year. Playland.

Thank you!
Prettypackages , YarahFlower & Erine 1881- Feel better quickly!! For a while Imtrex was the drug of choice - but like yourselves-not a fan of the side effects while lecturing-would have much preferred a boatload of BETA blockers and teacup-sized seeing eye-dog on those days when i just wanted to keep my eyes closed!LOL!

Over the years- Ive come across a time honored, fail-safe: VICK'S INAHLERS (with an Advil chaser)!! Whether I'm on an harrowingly long flight or just waking up from having slept too long ( a rarity) on a low barometrically challenged day- that Vick's inhaler saves me each and every time! I've convinced my neurologist that there are millions to be made.....but until a governmental grant floats his way-clinical trials are just subtext for an indie film!
Seriously though, I have one stashed in just about every pocket- at the first signs of aura or reverse tunnel vision (ie. black spot) I discreetly jab one up my nose- and pretend I'm seeking respite from a cold!

Where is the link so I can stalk today? I missed a few pages bc I've been crazy busy.

Everyone who wants the BP's better get them! I have both from the original collections and use them often (esp Pearl Blossom…such a pretty peachy color on NC35 skin!)

So, my friend and I were the first ones at the counter and they hadn't even set up the display yet but luckily the SA let us play with the testers, so we had plenty of time to swatch everything and play a bit with the items.
The lipsticks are okay. Nothing spectacular, in my opinion. The colour payoff is typical for Lustres and some colours you have to swipe three times or so in order for some colour to show up. Divaish was a great pink but I did not get it as I already have enough pinks which I don't wear very often. Call the Hairdresser was a bit too orange for me but I really liked Real Redhead which I ended up getting. I also bought the beauty powder in Pearl Blossom which is a great pink. I don't think I can wear it as a blush because even on my pale skin it looked more shimmery than anything else. I'll probably use it over pink blushes and it makes a great highlighter.
I didn't look at the fluidlines or nail polishes. The eyeshadow Bouffant looks great as well. My friend bought it and she compared it to similar ones from the permanent range (e.g. Naked Lunch, Jest, and something I can't remember) and we didn't found a dupe. I'm still unsure whether to get it or if it looks too similar to Sin from Urban Decay's Naked 1 which I already have.
All in all it's a nice collection but nothing really breath taking.
Oh, and what's typical for MAC: They only got two (!!) of each Beauty Powder! Are they serious?! We were so lucky to be there when they opened, otherwise we probably would'nt have been able to get the powders.

On the picture you can see Real Redhead, Pearl Blossom and Edge to Edge which I've been hunting since the collection launched over here.

Love Edge to Edge it works with so many lipsticks. And, I guess my daughter loves it too since I found it in her bathroom yesterday!

I'm looking forward to Call the Hairdresser but not if it pulls too orange. What skin tone are you? Thanks for the help.

I bought Edge to Edge because I loooove Pink Plaid and I love this kind of colour!

I'm cool toned but neither very pink nor very yellow. And I'm really pale, about NC/NW10.

On the picture I swatched Real Redhead next to Pink Plaid and Edge to Edge (Pink Plaid and Edge to Edge for other reasons, but as you can see Real Readhead is on the right):

Soooo I stalked like crazy for hours, but... nothing. Looks like the online release was delayed and I'm beyond annoyed.

@SleepingBeauty Happy to hear that you were able to get everything you wanted!

Someone on Facebook said that this collection will be released online on the 7th?! Oh boy, with MAC you never know.

Thanks! Fingers crossed that this will be the case for you as well.
Now I'm just really having second thoughts about skipping Bouffant.

Glad you got your goodies! And Real Redhead looks lovely! It does remind me of something... See Sheer maybe? I think RR will be the one lipstick I will get from this collection. I also really like Call the Hairdresser. I only want to pick up one lippie because I prefer other formulas nowadays. So it's between RR and CTH.
