Thanks Susanne....but they'd still go running! Tee hee. Anyway I am liking Thrills l/s from the swatches I've seen now!

I was just looking at swatches again and wondering how close Funbathing is to O?

I'm just going to wait for this collection to hit Mac.com and snatch it up right away. Hopefully, when it hits the site, I will know straight away so that it won't sell out on me! I don't feel like calling/running around to stores. I'm getting really jaded.

I have a similar plan. I'm going to buy Marine Life as soon as the collection goes online. Then I'm going to go see the rest in person since the mall close to me now has a freestanding store and three counters! Hopefully I can find everything before anything sells out at the whole mall!!

I've decided to add Marine Life Highlight Powder to my list. So going to snatch it up online before I purchase my other goodies!

MAC Marine Life Dupes — Sorry, Keep Looking

Something tells me the hype for this is going to be worse than Ripe Peach

I hope I get my hands on this one before it sells out

So Marine life is pretty much Ripe Peach on a crack binge. Same color, much more intense, to me. I don't see how this thing is a highlighter. I think it comes off as a full on blush

. Kinda want to get two so that I can have one I use and another to gawk at and squeal when I open my make up drawer in the morning

My MA said their Macys only got 9 Marine Life. She said its really pretty if you use the coral on the apples & then highlight high on the cheekbones with the pinky color. Which I know is pretty much - duh

She said it is really pretty. And, she kinda talked me into the lighter cream bronzer (we'll see) its cream to powder which I love. I love the color of Refined Golden so I don't know yet.

Also, she said the pink lip pencil is beautiful!

Do you have a personal relationship with a make-up artist to ask to put it on hold, or can you just call and ask?

i'm wondering that as well! i'm scared if i just go in they'll be gone and then i'll cry and all hell will break loose.

i am still trying to figure out the $$ for this collection but even if i do i don't have a debit/credit card to use online so i'm kinda panicking!

Both

I believe you can call & have them hold product for you. I have never been told no. But yes, I do have a long standing customer relationship with them.

Those swatches and all this talk is making me want Marine Life now. It doesn't look as intense as I thought but it probably will be if I apply it. I have no idea.

Does anyone know how ML differs from Peachykeen?

Yeah, Marine Life is probably not the most unique color but it still is unique in its packaging & I think it will be a fun summer color.

I don't even want to think about the Macys in NYC. It's going to be a hot damn mess. You'd think Justin Beiber was there or something (I still don't get that kid, but you get the analogy, right?).

I posted on Temptalia about comparing this crazy seahorse to Excite blush by Illamasqua. I was planning on getting that just by looking at the swatch on makeup alley. Of course, Excite is orange whereas ML is a coral, but I think it would be interesting to see them side by side. Even seeing it next to Nars' Taj Mahal, Gina and Gilda. I just need to take solace in that so that I won't fall to pieces if I can't get my hands on this. I am a spoiled, only child and I can't take rejection well.

Saddly...or happily...after seeing the comparison swatches I think the ML may look a little too red/neon for me..but damn is it ever cute..and all that hype has me crazy :p
