And does that e-mail mean they will definitely send it to me? Or does it basically mean that I'm screwed? The closest counter is more than an hour away, and I can't afford the expensive shipping from the other sites since I still want a ton of other stuff.

I think they will send it to you. If they weren't the email would have said it is sold out not Temporarily sold out. And if they werent going to send it to you it wouldn't take two weeks...I assume the two weeks is to allow them to make more

. Thats atleast what I think

. Plus MAC would b stupid not to re-stock....they'd make sooo much money!

I spoke to a MUA who said it was supposed to be released at midnight tonight, but it's not there yet

I did not know it was online so early!! i got what i wanted..
well, this is what i ordered:

To The Beach Eye Kohl
Shade: Rosemary & Thyme

To The Beach Tinted Lipglass
Shade: Flurry Of Fun

To The Beach Lip Pencil
Shade: Temperature Rising

To The Beach Eye Shadow
Shade: Sand & Sun

I toyed with getting sweet and punchy and maybe a lipstick but i did buy two items at the CCO today at franklin mills and to be honest even though i love, love, love bright colors i usually reach for more neutral shades.

Judging from the email they sent you, MAC will likely restock the Marine Life. In that case, Hurray!

I know atleast on the website you only can buy 4 of any LE items. I've never tried to buy more then 2 items...an MA told me once you only can buy 4 aswell.

They re-stocked Lady Gaga...maybe they'll re-stock Marine Life

I don't know if they changed it, but it was like that last year. I call the PRO number and asked, and the lady told me they both have the same stock as the US site.. not the Canadian though

I hope so, I went thru a lot of trouble to make sure I had the money on my credit card before today. I don't have any other coral blushes that are actually pigmented, so I really want this one.

I hope they re-stock, for those who couldn't buy because of the people buying a lot to sell on e-Bay. But Viva Glam From Our Lips will be available until 2011, To The Beach will not.

you're right...like Ripe Peach sold out fast on the regular site and a tad slower on pro....they have different stock. i think they also come from different dist. centers...i'd have to check one of my boxes though lol

 

[purrtykitty]

I believe they re-stocked Ripe Peach once, and select locations also received a second small shipment. I think they'll do the same for this, too.

 

[malvales]

Darn, this whole Marine Life thing reminds me again of painful memory for missing out Ripe Peach

 

[riotlove]

so i can't seem to get any swaps for empties for b2m sooo looks like i'll be getting 1 or 2 things aside from marine life.

bummer dood.

oh well maybe my bf will surprise me...psh

 

[only1angel]

Miss Dynamite-I hope you get your Marine Life order

After hearing your post, I think I'm going to be worried now until I get an email saying mine was shipped out

 

[only1angel]

I'm going to call Nordstrom tomorrow, just in case, to make sure they still have me down for 2 Marine Lifes! I'm also going to call my Macys counter and see if they'll tell me how many they got in stock....I think after we all have our Marine Lifes in our hands, we'll be able to finally sleep

 

[MUALindsay]

Blah, I'm getting sick of waiting!

 

[aeroerin]

Can anyone with Marine Life say anything as to its delicacy? Or, I guess I should ask, do you think it will break if it's traveled with? I know MSFs have been known to break easily (which is why they are staying at home, safe in my drawer, when I travel), but I want something for my cheeks while I'm vising family in New Mexico. I ask because all my blushes so far are depotted and in a palette, which I'm not crazy about bringing with me on a flight, even in my carry-on.

Yep, it is! Erin mentioned a while back that anything with "Kohl" in the name is waterline safe. I made a note of it...

I love my 131 for SO many reasons, but I'm not sure it's a "must have" for everyone. I have a 187 and 188, but I actually find the 131 works much better for me for certain tasks. IMO, it's better for liquids, not as good for creams, and great for certain powders (especially when the others are too large/the wrong shape). It's a must have for me, because it's so versatile, but that may not be the case for everyone.

I travel with all my makeup quite often and have never had any problems. If you pack it safely, it should be okay. I don't check it underneath the plane though for fear they may lose it
