Pro is selling it early.

Thanks. I think you really need to at least play with FoF. It's right with Marine Life for my favorite product from the collection.

I can't hear youuuuuuuu!"

I can't stress enough that FoF is at least worth a look. I'm sure most of us don't have anything like it.

I wasn't sure if it was the original one or not. Guess it flew over my head, but I love it. The two deeper ones are equally gorgeous.

Oh yes, someone asked me about the cream bronzers. Well, I'm NC45 in Mac and the lightest shade didn't have any impact on me. Nice, but it would take a lot of layering to create that bronzed look. I must say the darker shade grossed me out. It was too dark and too unnatural. I don't like the texture either. Felt greasy. Just wrong.

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

I am only getting 3 things for the collection: Marine Life, Temperature rising l/l and Flurry of fun l/g.

 

[Wandalemur]

To those of you who have seen them, how glittery are easy lounger, and flurry of fun?
Thanks

I bought Marine Life at my counter on Friday,they only got 6 in.My buddy MA is so awesome,she grabs the ML that was supposed to be the tester,and since it hadn't been touched she put it back in its box and decided instead of wasting it for a tester,she was going to put it back in the drawer to sell.She was like,I'm not even gonna play that!Love her!

Oh, I definitely agree! My MA let me play with some of the products early, and I swatched FoF because of how people were raving about its uniqueness. It is extremely pretty (I was staring at my swatch for a while, lol), I just don't wanna spend even more money right now. I have to convince myself that I don't need a teal-glitter gloss so I can resist the temptation!

Thanks so much for those swatches!!! They're great! Wow what a difference between the them except like your blog said with Sharp! Now after seeing these I will take off Chartreuse my ever changing wishlist

I think this will sell pretty quickly once people start to play with it. I was initially going to skip this, too due to the description but the swatch changed my mind. Then putting it on just put me over the top.

So now I have to get BeachBound lipstick and a backup of FoF. Maybe another Marine Life?

Nah!

And thanks to PurrtyKitty, I have Naked pigment in my mac online bag. I fogot it's been there all along. So now, when my sample runs out, I will buy a full sized one.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm going to cut Lazy Day l/s and Sand & Sun e/s off my list and now this leaves me with:

Marine Life h/p
Firecracker e/s
Sweet & Punchy e/s
Beachbound l/s
Easy Lounger l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g
Hipness b/l
Get-Away Bronze b/l

I'm sorry to ask this, did anyone had any luck to B2M for any of the lipsticks/eyeshadows/lipglasses in this collection?

 

[riotlove]

ok i put 2 marine life's on hold today(1 for me 1 for a cp

)
i think i'm gonna keep my appt for teh 28th since i talked to my mom and get my $50 limit or so.

HOWEVER i LOOOOOVE that lip look w/ temperature rising, beach bound, flurry of fun... anyone know how beach bound compares to soft lust? i don't remember what collection ti came with but i have it and am wondering.

same w/ lazy day. is it anything like real doll from barbie or fun fun(again dont remember the collection)

splashing anything like the hot pink from barbie? haha i'm trying to keep things off my list.

Usually we put it back as that was the deal before taking it all out!

Such good memories!

Shontay you always look so gorgeous in your pictures!

I am in love with the cream bronzer!

It is the perfect shade for me. I really hope that MAC brings these back. I might have to get a back up since I do use bronzer everyday. I think I love this more than my beloved NARS Laguna.

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Okay I've narrowed it down for the last time

I kept going up and back about the eyeshadows but decided I wasn't crazy about any of them.

So I'm getting Marine Life (w/possible backup?), Thrills (this has been on my wishlist all along, i love it!), Beachbound and In the Buff.

I wish I had the money for Flurry of Fun but I think I'm going to have to pass on it at least for now.

 

[LMD84]

there may be a very small chance that i get flurry of fun next month! i'm not meant to be buying glosses but i have almost finished an old one... and the more i see and hear about this gloss the more i want it!

I've changed my list for this damn collection at least 40 times to fit my budget. Even when I thought I had my "final list" a day or so ago...yeah, right...it's changed at least 4 times since then!

Anyway, after spazzing about my indecisiveness to my hubby for probably 45 minutes, without asking me about the monetary part, he said "just go over your budget this month and get whatever you want babygirl".

True love, right there.

Off to change my list a few more times before I head to sleep.

^ Completely agree! I'm going back for a backup before it sells out. It's the prettiest gloss I've seen in a while.

 

[riotlove]

ok so i think i've made my list. but i'm still waiting i think.

i'm going to aim for at least:
2 marine life(1 me, 1 cp)
temperature rising l/l
flurry of fun l/g
beach bag!

my really really really want list:
sand & sun, firecracker, sweet & punchy e/s
lazy day, beach bound l/s(just wanna know how beach bound compares to soft lust first, hopefully it's close enough to not need it)
life's a breeze l/l
get away bronze blush(it seems different than otherworldly to me...and the packaging!)
beach bronze cream bronzer
131 brush

my but if i can manage it after my really really really wants:
both luster drops

perm but still freaking want list:
humid, shimmermoss, both bronzing powders(not sure which would work on me

)130 brush.

someone shoot me geez.

btw so out of the curiosity i looked up the info on doing a bake sale/lemonade stand and since north las vegas is different from normal las vegas i could get fined for even attempting it without a license from the city. how effed is that?

my next venture is counting change and attempting a slot machine. hey if i can make $5 out of $1 maybe i'll get somewhere!

I'll try to have more swatches up later.

 

[InspiredBlue]

Now I am wondering if I should go look for a backup of Flurry of Fun? How long does a lipglass last if used daily? Because I feel like I will be wearing this a lot in the coming summer months.

Also, I am quite frustrated that I can't get my hands on Thrills - since the counter that released the collection in May didn't get it, and I am going away on the 14th of June and thus won't be able to get it when the NK counter releases it on 15th of June.

Thrills was one of the items on my original list and I am still wanting it. Those of you that have it - is it worth getting sight unseen?

(Edit: removed the part about a CP, since that problem is solved now

)

I can get them for you if you like, I'll be in NY on Thursday when the collection comes out, and I will be standing in front of Mac's when they open
