MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[InspiredBlue]

I'm glad most of you seem to be finding the things you wanted.

Marine Life crazyness here = 0
They are still in stock at the counter that released the collection 12 days ago.

You need to make your pics smaller, so they don't stretch out the page (per Specktra guidelines).

He stinks up my bathroom and slow dances (yeah, really, lol) his way back to my front door and tries to flirt with me while joking about the "stank he left in my pot"?

Ew ew ew hahaha. That's great and awful at the same time.

Although, if that's all that stood between me and my order right now, I'd let him do whatever he needed in my bathroom

So I picked up: Firecracker Sand & Sun Flurry of Fun Easy Lounger Life's A Breeze and Lazy Day (which they let me B2M for even though they probably weren't supposed to. I'm special! )

Nice!! I really want to see what you do with Firecracker

And I'm so tempted to order Lazy Day & Easy Lounger online... what's another $33??

The SA opened the drawer to show me how many they had on hold. She also said she had gotten a few phone calls last night and this morning from people who wanted to have one held. One person had three on hold.

Aww, I was going to go too but changed my mind - which one did you end up at? And yes, I agree with Hipness and being back-up worthy....I needed someone to talk me out of it hahaha.

So who's going to see Sex and the City today? I'm stopping by MAC before heading to the movies with my roommate. Let's hope ML and SATC tickets are still in stock by the time I make it downtown.

I am thinking of not getting lazy day.
Just Firecracker, ML, and maybe Sweet and Punchy. It looks too similar to Lucky Green, and I don't need a million shades of the same color.

I ordered from dilards at 2:30 am. I woke up at 10 this morning and they had already shipped my package. Either their just on top of their game or lieing so all the crazy mac girls dont call them.

Agreed with Firecracker! I wanna try it out on the cheeks a bit...wonder how that'll turn out.

I've also used ML on the eyes - the coral part on the outer corners. Its nice - very different texture, super light.

It's a bit darker in tone that Lazy Day and perhaps a bit more blue based as opposed to lavender. Either way, it is great to be layered with LD.

Great to read that you liked them

So far I did not really wear them yet, mostly just Flurry of Fun over Temperature Rising.

I feel like i'm missing out. I am not interested in anything from this collection

Marine Life is pretty but i wonder if it would be this popular if it doesn't have seahorse in it. Like someone said earlier in the post, it's just another pigmented coral blush. However, the ridiculous hype makes me wonder if i should check it out. Same with Ripe Peach, i had the chance to buy it before, but i thought the color is similar to my other peach blushes

Now Flurry of Fun is the one i'm really tempted to try, but I'm really lazy to go to the mall today

I think i'm getting better at controlling my lemmings lately. I thought that the amount of my makeup will always add, not less (can't see myself hitting pans). I can't imagine how much makeup i'll have in the next 10 years if i just buy whatever i want, so now i'm trying to only buy must haves.

At my Nordstroms, when you pre order, they also take down your CC info and your signature, and then they charge your CC the day the collection is released.

Oh no, it wasn't stretching it on my screen.

I'll resize them, sorry!

It probably wouldn't be as popular, but I LOVE that adorable little seahorse!!!!

Yorkdale. I work in the west end, so it's on my way.

Nice... I never thought of using it on the cheeks!

The MA I talked to suggested using Firecracker with Fig 1, Amber Lights, Sketch or even Electra.

I thought Electra sounded crazy... so I asked her and she said: Electra in the inner corners, Firecracker on the lid, and Soft Brown blended out in the crease. I'm going to try it once Firecracker comes.

I can take a picture of my collection so you have some idea!!!

 

[sweetkitty]

That's really nice of mac counters/stores to offer to put stuff on hold for people, you would think that with the small quantities that they get, this would not be an option. What if someone puts something on hold and doesn't come to get it and then someone who really wanted it doesn't get the chance? I've never put anything on hold, but then I just buy everything online, that way I know it's there.

Hi Ladies!!

Just wanted to post a hello! This is my first MAC collection! I got to my Dillards this morning at 9:45, I was the only one there!

The benefit of living in a small town just big enough to have a MAC counter! My MA said I was the first to buy marine life and she ordered double the normal shipment because they are having a launch party next weekend! She also couldn't believe it is sold out online!
So this is my very first MAC haul.

I got
Marine Life
Sweet and Punchy
Firecracker
Shimmermoss
Humid
Thrills
FunBathing
Flurry of fun
Viva Glam V l/s
Viva Glam V l/g
Siss l/s

I wanted temperature rising but in my excitement forgot to ask for it. So I'm making another trip later today. They didn't have weekend bronzer and the others were too glittery for me. I love everything and this is going to be an expensive addiction

Okay, strange morning... I get to work and I have an email from MAC saying that ML is sold out and won't be included in my online order, which is shipping today - grrrr

But, I did have a ML on hold at The Bay as a back-up plan (I had *a feeling* about the online order), so I immediately set off to The Bay to pick it up... as soon as I get outside on the street, out of nowhere, a crow (ewww) flies right smack into the side of my head... and keeps going! Hit and run!! I kinda saw stars for a second... it hit me really hard!

But, not to be deterred from my ML Mission, I kept on going... and now ML is safely and securely stashed in my purse. Geeez - the things a girl has to endure for the love of ML!!!

I hope everyone else is able to get what they want today too, crow-free of course!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Finally got my shipping confirmation, which is accurate this time. Stuff coming tomorrow. Before I got it, I HEARD the UPS truck and went and waited to see if my stuff was on it.. Disappointment!

Might head up to the mall later and see what they have even though I'm getting my stuff tomorrow.
