Sometimes the price annoys me. The release dates annoy me more

haha

But lately with CPs, I've been disappointed with the products once they arrived. I actually really like going on the day of the collection, swatching everything then deciding what to buy!

I dont know... I still have issues with AU retail pricing.... HKK dazzleglasses $68AU, $28US - even after the conversion that still MORE than double and let me tell you right now that our wages AREN'T double. I actually dont think Dior are that badly priced by comparison - their reflects glosses are only $36 at Charlestown, I got mine for $32 at a 10% off sale - and thats less than a dazzleglass at $43 - Dior glosses have almost 3x the product volume as well and that makes MAC more expensive than Dior. Retail values alone are not reflective of the ACTUAL cost per gram of product and I am vastly unimpressed with the way MAC slugs us here - especially for special packaging!!!!

MrsMay, that palette looks gorgeous, nice colours! I've only tried one Inglot shadow - one of the new matte ones. I loved it, and they're quite reasonably priced too!

I really like their pro e/s (the same size ones as MAC) and their bigger matte e/s (the ones from the new matte range), and of course their pigments and gel liners are fantastic!

You're gonna kill me when I tell you Ali... the one in the middle is like a green version of silverthorn.. it has that gold duochrome to it that silverthorn has but with a green base

thats pretty funny. and so NOT at the same time!

makeup here is soo expensive, i reckon.
still. it doesnt seem like it matters too much, given the fact that we still see haul after haul

soo i just go these in the mail today.

^^I've got a fair few things on order that I'm just waiting and waiting for and I swear it's driving me nutty. Every day I race home to see if anything has arrived but alas nothing has *cry* I'm gonna list what I'm waiting for to let off some steam lol!

- Mehron Tropical + Metallic palettes
- Calypso Mineral Beauty loose pigments x 4
- Spiced Chocolate Quad
- Style Warriors Haulage
- Heavenly Natural Beauty pigments x I cant remember how many
- Konad Image Plates

I hope that I get *something* to play with before the weekend, particularly the Mehron palettes. I can't wait to try those out!!

[spectrolite]

[sambibabe]

Thanks Bibi! I realise it is actually Lollipop Loving.. I didn't recognise it first -the lighting makes it really yummy looking

 

[spectrolite]

I didnt say our wages are double. But its not like US$28=AU$28. When HK came out, our dollar was doing very poorly, and I think that was reflected in the prices.

Well, actually the Dior glosses are $47 RRP, and I dont think its correct to compare non-RRP prices. (Also, its my personal opinion that Dior Reflects Gloss and Dazzleglasses are like comparing chalk and cheese)
I also think that Dazzleglasses are a "special case", and dont really compare to the rest of MACs pricing. Also, a year ago (when I started at Dior) the Reflects Glosses were AU$45. Dior does price rises about every 3 months.
Which is more often than MAC I believe. (Yeah, dior blushes were $65, now they are $72!!)
