when MAC send products it actually depends on the counter size and the amount of business your counter does. for instance with ww. w only received 6 each of the msf 12 of the blushes well when we do testers we make one of the items they send us testers so that makes everything they send us go down by one. so sometimes we only really have 5 of of an item cause of the tester or we pre sell them the best stuff to our best customers. some counters get more than the other just cause the volume of the counter

Thanks for the explanation :) Makes sense...no point having a bucnh of product at a location if stats say no one that shops there would really but it.

Yeh, the counter closest to me only got 6 WW MA blush. I'm glad I can call and they will hold things for me, I hear some will not do that.

I think it also depends on the person you speak to because when I rang selfridges to check if they could reserve MA for me they did and I think they had like 13. But after that I rang to see if they had AP and the lady told me they did but she couldn't reserve cause it's limited edition.

That's very true. If you get told no wait and call back later or the next day because another ma may tell you differently. I think that if a ma has been there a while they are more comfortable with holding items and such, so always good to check with someone else.

I agree - I also think some of them make up the rules to suit themselves. I've never had an issue calling any store (free-standing, Macy's, Nordstrom) to have them hold something for me. They always do. The employees are not allowed to purchase the collaboration items, though, for a few days. So there may be self-interest motivating some SAs.

1. Anyone who wants to try a "magically" cooling powder, I think CoverGirl has one out now.

2. If the special packaging is anywhere near as nice as the GMLOL collection, this is gonna be a blockbuster. Well, at least a wallet buster...

3. Less than 2 months away, is it really too much to expect a color story by now???

Didn't know that :/ I always though the MA'S grabbed everything they wanted before they put it out in the store!

Revlon and Almay both have cooling powders now.

Wow. I'm surprised that CoverGirl doesn't sell its stuff in the UK. I love CoverGirl. I have used them since I was about 14 years old.

I vaguely remember Cover Girl being sold here, and Outdoor Girl, too. I still have my Outdoor Girl blush

Oh, you've got my attention. I hope they have some cute packaging on eye shadows and eye shadow palettes(those with 6 square ones in them) I love pretty flower feminine stuff, so I hope they work on this collection to make it awesome. There are already eye shadows with floral names though, like sushi flower, creme the violet and beautiful iris etc.
I just hope they make pretty, flattering, feminine colors across the board. Lavender whip? *wink wink* and other cute lipsticks.

Like the graphic garden palettes that were the Nordie's exclusive last year? those would be nice. I'd love some bright colored eyeshadows with floral names. With the nice finish like the peacocky shadows, only more soft and pale. Or bright like the Dare to Wear colors?

My secret wish would be for some lovely bright floral colors in a Matte2 finish with some packaging that looks like GMLOL but in palettes.

I'd love some lipsticks in packing like the GMLOL. Of course there would be some nice pinks, corals, peach, and of course a lavender one like Fashion Mews or Lav Whip. I'd also like a nice honey colored lippy--a sheer amber one would be pretty. Like Apres Sol or Coconutty but less frosty and more sheer. Of course, I always dream of a beautiful rose colored lippy, like a Rose Romance re-promote.
