So you're even getting the man involved! Hey, tell him while he's at it - to make you a "To The Beach" necklace too! And get those shorts on honey while you're doing that!

looks like you're getting everyone involved.

It is so adorable, all that gorgeous pink & coral sitting in that beautiful green container

Thanks about the B2M. I may luck out with the one nice MUA that is doing my m/u next Friday. I have to tell you I'm ticked. I went to the Macy's near me and hoped the blonde that is never very friendly was working there.....but there she was so I knew that 99% chance she wouldnt be helpful. Sure enough...nope!! I asked if I could pre-order and she said "no. sorry" So then I asked if they had any of the items in and she said "yeah in the back" and that was it! I was hoping by me asking she'd KINDLY at least let me see! Well her loss now because I wont be going there to get the Marine Life's next Thursday! She lost out on a sale! I'll just order online and get the other stuff when I get my m/u done. ARRGGHHHH!! I can't stand that girl!!

I am so sorry that girl had to be there!! She could've at least let you see the products!! But like you said its her loss!!

I'm still on the fence about marine life. It supposed to be priced anywhere between 21 and 31 euros... I can't decide if it's worth 31 but then again i've paid that much for other brands so why not this... dilemma

I hope it's less than 25 then I'll be okay

Not to rain on your parade, but it was 31 in Germany.....
Are prices in NL normally lower or higher?

In Finland Marine Life's 29 euros and I saw it's 26 euros on MAC's website in France.

I just saw a video review on Youtube that said Marine Life's staying power is poor even though at first the coral side is very pigmented. Has anybody had the strength to ruin the overspray and try it yet? It'd be nice to hear how you feel about the staying power.

I've secretly started to want Flurry of Fun but I'm worried it's too frosty for warm skintone and too light by itself on pigmented lips. It just looks so pretty on top of lippies

Thanks for the replies. I saw on a website they had it priced at 23.50 which is what i paid for ripe peach but who knows mac in NL seems to change their prices per collection :S. I'd love to know about the staying power too

My counter doesn't usually get a lot of stock for any collection, so I don't want to take them all lol.

That is so very thoughtful of you.

I feel the same way. I missed out on Ripe Peach while I was on vacation and look at the prices on Ebay now. I can never bring myself to dish out so much for makeup.

The funny thing is, I probably won't miss Marine Life at all if I don't get it. I didn't buy any of the blush ombres, and after a brief yearning for Ripe Peach, I just moved on to wanting the next pretty shinies from MAC. There's always something new on the horizon, so I probably won't drive myself crazy looking for Marine Life if it's not in stock when I buy my goodies.

i have no bought marine life, even though i have been to my store twice and it has been there, i have felt no urge to purchase it remotely, the overspray is pretty yes, but the colour is just way too similar to others

sorry to be a party pooper, i just think it is all hype, but then maybe i'm just weird!

 

[BosSy]

Could anyone swatch Get-Away bronze blush next to cheeky bronze MSF?

 

[GlamQueen21]

I cannot wait for this collection to launch online! I'm so getting anxious about it! My lemming for Marine Life is starting to die down. I don't know if I want to get it or not... As for Thrills l/s, I now want it!

 

[riotlove]

ok so what do you think is going to be a better chance? me calling and trying to put marine life on hold at the store or buying it online monday night/tuesday morning?

 

[AudreyNicole]

Mmmmmkay, after seeing Zoffe's FOTD using products from this collection, I have decided that if I get nothing else, I will get the stuff she used so that I can recreate her look.

Definates: Sweet & Punchy e/s, Float on By e/k, Lazy Day l/s, Flurry of Fun l/g and Easy Lounger l/g. Yep, I think that will be it.

My lemmings for everything else are gone after seeing that FOTD!!

I'd say online, as long as you order as soon as it's put up. My store only got 6 Marine Life, and one had to be a tester.

 

[rutiene]

Just made the following pre-order. I'm kind of scared of the amount of money that's going into this collection, considering that I think I'm going to want to buy a lot from the VV collection as well.

Eyeshadows:
Sweet & Punchy, Firecracker, Humid, Shimmermoss

Eye Khols:
All (Rosemary & Thyme, Float on by)

Lipglass:
Flurry of fun

Lipstick:
Thrills, Beachbound

Marine Life

Any changes I should make? NC15 and asian.
