MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[kpenn]

I'm so proud of myself that I'm narrowing things down!

The Short List:

Sand & Sun e/s
Sweet & Punchy e/s
2 lipsticks (choosing from Lazy Day, Thrills and FunBathing) l/s
Life's a Breeze l/l
Scorcher n/p

I eliminated Float on By because I can use Undercurrent in its place. Even if they are not the same, they are close enough to work. Plus, Float on By has been getting some seriously crappy reviews in terms of smudging, and I tend to have oily lids anyway.

I eliminated Hipness because I have Dainty, Ripe Peach and Instant Chic. I don't need another coral for now, especially since there are other items I want from this collection.
Finally, I eliminated In the Buff for obvious reasons...

ooooh my beautiful elegant-one!! I have missed you and your antics!

SERIOUSLY! i have been so busy with work...wah. I hate fashion sometimes!

Where the heck did I get Lazy Sunday from? Oh well... thats my new name for it!

Obviously, any pink and we are sold... did you hear plink! has been discontinued? hmph!

For those of you who are disappointed with the fact that In the Buff looks like an avocado that's been sitting out for a while, you should check out BB Couture's nail polish in Kelly's Green!

You can get it here: Overall Beauty : Kelly's Green [BBVV01] - $9.00
Swatch here: The Vampy Varnish Collection by BB Couture | Vampy Varnish

It came out a while ago as an "avocado green" before MAC brought theirs out, and I think it may be what some of you had anticipated In the Buff would be like (minus the glitters).

[miss_primer]

I have my final list.

In The Buff n/l
Lazy Day l/s
Hipness Bl

Grand Total: $44.50...what a cheap haul...lol.

 

[Ally4MAC]

This is how fast marine life sold out on bloomingdales website. I bought it when it came on the site and now I got a message that it was canceled because it was sold out on the site before i could buy it and before they could catch it. Sold may 25, 6 am I will be on mac's website.

 

[only1angel]

I thought I'd be on a "no buy" for lipglasses since I have so many and barely use them all, but after seeing Splashing I think I HAVE to make an exception lol

 

[openexpression]

So...based on Temptalia's new reviews I think I must have Funbathing!

Someone swatch this and "O" for me and tell me that I don't need it!!!

 

[Barbie-gone-bad]

Final list:
Hipness blush
Marine Life (if I can get it )
Scorcher n/l

Maybe List
Firecraker e/s
Flurry of Fun l/g (it seems sheer, I have pigmented lips, not sure it will show up much)
Thrills l/s (I love it but not sure if it will look good on me)
And maybe a cream blush..but this is a big maybe

Yay I cut may list down alot

D

Is there anyone that's NW20 and has both Refined Golden and Golden bronzing powder? I have Refined Golden from Style Warriors and haven't tried anything else from MAC. I'm just wondering if anyone has both and prefers one or the other...........

Yeah, I'm making an exception for Easy Lounger and possibly also Flurry of Fun. I'm realllly trying to avoid Splashing.

I am NW20...but a little on the cool side aswell. I find refined golden is too orange for me, and with the pink in my skin it doesn't mix well.

I like golden better, but I wish it had a little more sparkle <3.

I don't think I'll be able to avoid Splashing lol. The other 2 seem easily passable for me since I prefer pigmented glosses. I do hope, however, that I don't like Splashing in person lol.

That's what I've been saying....Fun Bathing looks exactly like "O" which I already have too. I swear it's a twin of it! I also commented on the look-a-like on her site and she didnt reply. I swear it's the same!
