I guess I won't be TOO heartbroken if I don't get a Marine Life now...as long as they give me my money, of course.

Joie-De-Vivre is

. It's a pretty peachy pink and blends like a dream. The Cremeblend formula looks incredibly natural on me. I'll use it tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hope everybody gets shipping confirmation soon!

I am lemming Firecracker and maybe Flurry of Fun now. Later on today I think I'll go and check if they are still available at my counter.

Because I deserve a reward today! I study to be a nurse and am doing my emergency placement at the ambulance. A few days ago I helped bring back a young woman who when we arrived had no pulse and was not breathing. And I figure if you can't buy makeup after you helped save somebody's life, when can you buy makeup?

I'm checking my e-mail like a crazy person waiting for my confirmation.

This ML panic is nuts. Not only was the hype of the product insanely contagious, but the panic about not getting it is even worse! I wasn't even worried about my order making it here, but reading about other experiences started freaking me out. I have to keep telling myself:

I didn't get a backorder notice, good sign.
I didn't get a cancel notice, good sign.

Yep, this is totally healthy, mhmm! ...

It's only those who love makeup and are into it enough to follow it online that actually know to buy and resell.

You are most likely right

I'm pretty sure they are on all the popular makeup forums and check youtube reviews, just like we do.

LOL I was too busy packing, having a lovely lunch with my bf in the sun and travelling back home yesterday to check the US website yesterday. By the time I did, ML was gone.

I've checked a few counters in London, while I was there, and they had all the items still avaialble, besides ML. Got myself the Scorcher nailpolish (and I'm not even that much into nail polish, but it's such a gorgeous colour!) and Viva Glam Cyndi (finally!) at the counter and finally got to pick up my Hipness and 217 and 224 brushes that my bf was sweet enough to order for me. I didn't get to play with hipness much yet, but I would definitely not call it chalky. It's just quite sheer for a frost blush.

Im trying to resist the ML crazy really hard, but I'll probably still be checking Macy's website tomorrow...*sigh*

in my order:
- hipness blush
- refined golden
- lazy day l/s

still thinking over
- getaway bronze blush
- splashing l/g
- beach bronze cream bronzer

 

[Debbie_57]

I got my shipping confirmation (ordered around 5:00 central time zone)

 

[InspiredBlue]

It has taken me all morning to catch up, reading a page or two at the time between other things.

I am wearing Flurry of Fun over Petals & Peacocks today. I feel like Barbie in this combo. And, yes, I have a compulsive desire to put FoF over any lip product I wear.

Seems like EVERYONE is getting ML, if nothing else from the collection. I feel like I am the only one that won't have one. I feel silly even saying that... it's terrible how stressful this whole situation is for everyone... Makeup buying and collection should be fun! You can cut the tention in this thread with a knife!! EEK! I hate when the LE frenzy gets this bad. This is when I impluse buy. I get all paniced that I won't have time to think about things before they sell out, so I buy right on the spot, and regret 99% of those purchases later.

I didn't get Marine Life, and I had plenty of chances to. I just don't feel the draw of this one.

I hope you don't get pulled into the hype Audrey.

Thrills is a repromote, so it is the same. Temptalia has swatches of her old Thrills on her site, and it looks the same.

I think people are confusing New York City with New York state.

 

[Nelly711]

^^ You're right about people confusing NYC with New York State. I worked at a call center and every time someone would I ask where I was from, I would say New York and they would automatically think that I live in the city. It's like they think NYC is all to New York state.

[marusia]

I got mine at Mac Pro on Queen St. W. on Thursday the 20th - they release the collections a week early so I went as soon as they opened

Still, if you can't find it, get back to me

Haha, for Friday? Civies and I are going - as well as some other non-posting members. If you see us, say hi! We all usually stand in line and stuff for eachother - so much easier to get items when its so nuts in there and the lines are so long.

Haha

Warehouse sales are definately MAC-DOOM for my wallet, but this time around, I'm just CP-ing and looking at more blushes for myself and stuff for my little sister's birthday.

Argh! Ahahaha I posted the "C" in there by accident....I was totally going to write Long Island too but got lazy oops.



And Marine Life is back on the Canadian site! Surprise Surprise...wonder how long that'll last...

I'm contemplating a Hipness back-up. Mine's from Fafi, and I didn't get Instant Chic, so I'm wondering if I should hold off and get it later (and chance it being gone) or go to MAC today at the Eaton Center when it opens to snatch it up. Hrmmm....

Really? hmm. I always get an email with a tracking number. It takes around 4 days for mine to get to me. Lucky!

Where are you located? I am southwest of Toronto (where they ship from), so I almost always get it next day, but never a shipping email, that's odd.

ML is back in stock on the canadian site, I would get it, but I don't want to pay $7.50 for shipping, since I already used lash610ca and there is no other code.. unless there is, please let me know. I don't really *need* but, but it would be pretty to have it since it's sold out everywhere.

I thought I was the only one with no interest in Marine Life! I had also chances to get it but I think it is boring and nothing special. Even the huge hype doesn't give me temptations with this one.

I still think Flurry Of Fun is the only star of this collection. I thought I was going to really like this collection but I didn't. Well, I thought I wasn't going to buy much from GMLOL and it turned out me enjoying it very much!

Ah, that it explains it. I'm located in Nova Scotia. Maybe they don't bother to send you one because you would have already recieved your package by the time they sent you an email, lol.

I'm sorry, I don't know any other code

that's the one I used too. I'm actually kind of suprised it's back on the site.

Shypo -- I read your blog review of the MUFE creams.. they sound gorgeous and MUFE quality especially for waterproof products is excellent. I use the white and black cream ES, and being the germophobe that I am, I use a tiny spatula to dip into the creams (I do this with all creams and have a bunch of disposable spatulas) and use my hand as a palette and apply from there... it works for me. But I am going to check out the new colors this weekend

.

As for Marine Life, I only purchased two for backups cause I wubb the color and it is not dupable

 

[Notorious19]

Do you guys think the lipsticks will go fast from the stores? I didn't add Beachbound and Thrills to my MAC order because I want to swatch them, but the way everything is being snatched up like hotcakes is making me nervous...
