I already have Hipness from Fafi, but I ordered it again b/c I wanted it in the new cute, green packaging. I *sorta* feel silly about that I guess, but I really love it so I'm trying not to think about it!


Hehe. I was hoping someone would enable me.

In person, Marine Life was more impressive than I expected, and a lot bigger! For some reason I thought it would be the same size as blushes, but it's HUGE and very pretty!

Did you get a confirmation for your online order yet? that's a good idea going to the bay! You're so lucky. They don't sell mac at my loal Bay counter

I have to spread a little love too. It took me a bit to register on Specktra, but boy am I glad I did. You guys are really really fun to chat with.

Still no confirmation from MAC

At least I have ML on hold at The Bay until closing tomorrow, in case of emergency

I think you will really love ML - it is gorgeous! The had a tester with the overspray still on it (on the displayer), and then another tester without the overspray so you can see what it really looks like... the colours are still beautiful even without the overspray, IMO.

You have to order from mac.ca before 11am est for ur order to get shipped out, the same day. It sucks i'll be so mad if my order gets cancelled because i ordered at 12:40est and it was 9am over here .. boo..

It is so maddening that some stores are launching the collection today and some are tomorrow. For what I know it's May 27th. Why don't they launch at the same time everywhere? Some people are potentially going to miss out good stuff just because the store decided to launch earlier than they know...

I ordered around then too, so I am hoping for my 1st order to arrive tomorrow and the second friday, hopefully with the seahorse.

I am SO happy with this collction.

I ended up getting:
- Marine Life (part hype, part because of the reviews I've seen on here about it. It's seriously so freaking cute with the overspray... it'll kill me to use it, haha!)
- Hipness (was thinking about passing just because I'm short on funds right now and I can't work, even though I really wanted it... but after the MUA swatched it on her hand, I had to have it. I love that it's bright, but not TOO bright - will be a perfect summer cheek when I want a more subdued look.)
- Float On By (So.freaking.PRETTY. I am going to love using this on the waterline with ANYTHING. It'll give a pop to neutrals or oranges/pinks/reds, and it'll cool down some of the brighter green looks I want to try with Sweet & Punchy. I think I'm going to try setting it with Gulf Stream or Cool Heat to see if that helps it not to migrate.)
- Sweet & Punchy (missed out on R Rated or whatever it was from Starflash.)
- Firecracker (I knew I was getting this since I first saw promo pics. :p Such a FUN color for summer.)
- Life's a Breeze (I have so many pink lippies (Angel, Nude Rose, Creme Cup, Lazy Day, VG Gaga) but no pinkish pencil. Problem solved!)
- Lazy Day (I was going to pass because I already have tons of pinks in this family, but I tried it on and fell in love. This is THE nude-pink for me. I might break my backup virginity with this one.)
- Funbathing (I totally didn't think I would even look at this, but it's SO pretty on. It's a lot more plummy than it looks in the tube. For me, it's a juicy-looking MLBB shade.)
- Flurry of Fun (I can't wait to try this over Lazy Day! Or possibly Dressmaker^2 from Pret a papier.)
- Scorcher (I will be painting my nails with this as soon as I finish this post!)

Passed on:
- Beachbound (I had planned to get this originally, because I've seen some GORGEOUS looks with this + Temperature Rising + FoF, but it just did not look good on me. Way too light. I wish I could rock it, but it's not meant to be!)
- Easy Lounger (I have a million pink glosses.... but I might go back for this one eventually. :/ )
- Splashing (looked too milky in the tube for me, which often translates to really gross looking on my pigmented lips)
- Temperature Rising (I wanted to love this, but I just couldn't rock it. Too bright for me.)
- Thrills (Too frosty. The bronze cast did not grab me right now. Maybe for fall I would like it, but not for summer for me, and I feel like I already have something like this in my collection that I can't put my finger on...)
- Sand & Sun (I wanted to like it, since I don't have many neutral mattes, but it looked like almost nothing on me.)

I didn't look at Rosemary & Thyme (I can get this perm later) or In The Buff, or any of the bronzing half of this collection. I already have Humid, and I plan on getting Shimmermoss in pan form on Saturday.

Please don't take what I said personally. I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone here or anyone specifically just I know there are some out there that do this and it's not right. It's nice of you to to cp for those who might otherwise miss out.

A back up plan is a good thing

I haven't actually seen it in person, because I can't. I don't have any mac counters near me. boo! But I'm taking your word on it. I can't wait
