This is so true. My last online order was on my porch but still said pending online. My order comes out of MD and they get it to PA, superfast!

I have both. If I had to choose between one of them, I'd certainly go with Marine Life. Hipness is nice, but Marine Life is better IMO.

It would be nice to be able to track it earlier.

see i would go with hipness. i don't have marine life but from what i have seen in the swatches section and also people's reviews of it - it's not actually that impressive. somebody has said a few times that it is quite chalky and doesn't wear well. whereas hipness is the perfect corally pink blush that would suit practically every skintone

I was feeling myself getting sucked into buying them, but truthfully I use Refined Golden every day & it dawned on me it was stupid to get a LE bronzer when I have a color I love & can get any time. My vote is get either Golden or Refined Golden since they're permanent but get released in pretty packaging at least once every year

I just called my freestanding store and they didn't get any more Marine Life in since the launch party. I called Nordstrom, where I preordered ML on Sunday, and they said they're launching tomorrow and since they sold out of ML in stores, they will be shipping me mine. I asked if I would for sure get it and she said yes...but I don't understand how that could work. I hope it works out for me though.

When I went to check out the collection last week and put in my pre-order, my MA said they were icky and applied horribly and to stay away from them, which really surprised me!! So now I'm really skeptical about them, and I'm getting one of the powders instead.

I have cheeky bronze but forgot to take it with me when i went to swatch get away bronze in store but from what i remember of the colour it's pretty close IMO just that cheeky bronze is shimmery whereas get away bronze is more of a sheen. I didn't try it on my face. hth a bit.

My order still says pending as well. So far no emails from Mac tho. (keeping fingers crossed. But I think I was early enough yesterday for Marine Life... I'm as happy as a duck in a mud puddle over this!) |

Say they have 100...but 35 were preordered. Then they would set 65 out for sell, and the others are already sold (since you left payment info with them) once they get in.

Yazerella, I think it's best for you to see them at the nearest store, if this is an option. A lot of people are not liking the cream bronzers... I like it though, but I didn't find them amazing (must-have).

I bought the lighter one (beach bronze). I can't say it's a must have but I personally like it. Not as a full face bronzer more of a bronze highlight on the cheekbones and i've used it on my browbone before my highlighter which gave a nice summery effect. Beach bronze is very sheer and I don't see it replacing my bronzer (refined golden).
so if you're looking for a real bronzer with minimal shimmer and nice colour payoff i'd say you dont need it. If you want something with a lighter colour that can be used more as a highlighter and in combination with blush etc. i'd say go for it.
Quite a long chunk of text meh. I was originally stoked when i read creambronzer and when i picked it up i was excited but i think the more i play around with it i realize it's more of a nice to have than an actual MUST have. I do like it though it's so hard to explain lol
If you have any questions about it maybe you can post them and i then have more of an idea of what to tell you about the bronzer.
