Hi! I'm new to the site, well I just lurk around. LOL Anyway I stopped by my Nordstroms today to pre-order some things. Well the MUA was nice enough to bring the collection out and let me try a few things. She even said I could just get my stuff today because the manager was gone. :) I end up getting Marine Life, Thrills l/s, Funbathing l/s, Flurry of Fun l/g, Splashing l/g and Get Away Bronze blush. I'm NC 45 by the way. All the colors were really pretty. I'm going to go back for the shadows and body oil next week.

The HOT but SUPER young looking models (seriously they looked like High Schoolers):

My stuff:
I really liked this collection and I am sorry I don't have more to say about it as a whole. Hope that you all enjoy the pictures and I will post swatches & a review of what I got tomorrow.

Thanks for the pics!

What kind of camera did you use because the pics are so good?

I have been using To the beach cream bronzer the last two days and I really love it. I am very fair (NW15) and it is a really good fit and it doesn't look like too much bronzer or muddy. I don't even really have to blend much either. It hasn't broken me out at all and hasn't felt greasy which I was worried about. I have been using it with the 131 brush and it gives a nice healthy glow. I am not sure that it would even show up though on darker skintones.

I also love hipness blush. I don't have the original to compare it to but it gives such a pretty peachy pink pop to my looks.

I am also in love with flurry of fun lipglass. It really is never a color that I would go towards but on it is a sparkly, peachy, and beautiful. I wore a bit of vegas volt and this over it and it was super pretty.

I am mixed about Marine Life. I like it but I am not in love with it. I need to try it a bit more before I make the final judgement.

You are very welcome!

It is a pink (of course) sony cyber shot. I swear the pictures are better because the camera is pink!

That is SO good to hear about the bronzer - I think I'll get it after that.

I didn't try ML on my face. So what don't you like about it? I would think that color would be gorgeous on you. Please tell my dear.

Count me as another one falling off the Marine Life bandwagon.... I think it's now reached Hype Backlash status for me.

My (tiny) list is now:
Fun Bathing l/s
Flurry of Fun l/g
One of the two lustre drops (haven't narrowed down which)

I don't wear bronzer (I'm fairly light-skinned, but my Latina skin already has color), so a good chunk of this collection just didn't appeal to me.

Oh well, more money saved!

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.

If you want to wait & think about it, Humid & Shimmermoss are both permanent e/s so you can wait & pick them up anytime. you can even buy the in a pro pan instead of the pot & save a few bucks

I didn't know about the in a pro pan deal, what's that? Anyways, I know they're perm, but the colors are so gorgeous and even with my millions of eyeshadows, I don't have an exact dupe for either (since I'm really particular about certain shades) so I bit the bullet. The ones I'm not sure about are: Firecracker and Sweet & Punchy (both colors that I'm not 100% sure how to use properly without looking monstrous), the eye kohls, and Beachbound.

I love the way Beachbound looks but my bf wasn't a huge fan and a lot of people are saying to pass on it, so that's why I'm not sure. The rest are just things I'm not sure I can use effectively.

Thanks for the welcome, happy to be here.

When is this collection being released on the US site? I'm sure this has already been answered in here, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

My list for this collection is:
Sand and sun e/s
Beach bronze cream bronzer
Either Marine Life or Hipness (perhaps both)
One of the lustre drops

I'm feeling myself backlash against Marine Life because of all the hype, yet I'm really loving all the swatches I see of it!

25th online, 27th in stores.

I try to ignore the hype, I'm getting it cause I don't have a blush like it and it's like 3 beautiful shades in 1!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to ignore it too.

I've been trying to be realistic with this collection because I intend on traveling and applying to grad schools (eeekkk) so I have no money to spare on fun stuff... all I'm getting is...
- 131
- pink rebel lustredrops... I feel like everything is dupable and I just can't wait for the cats and disney collections coming out
