It's scary for me to see the growth of my makeup, and i've only been collecting for 1.5 years. But it's so hard to resist not to buy pretty and sparkly things

It's also kinda impossible for me not to go to Specktra. I love reading everyone's posts about MAC collections

It looks like Marine Life has made it's way into some specktra sales already at inflated prices. Boo! People move quick.

^ I know, I just love looking at makeup. I could look at people's stashes all day long

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!

Oh no! I think I ordered ML online after you (and in canada) so probably will happen to mine too, but I've been checking my email and nothing yet.. When did you order again??

Didn't you order ML Tuesday morning at like 6:30 am?? Or am I thinking of someone else??

that's so weird that I ordered after you and my items are being sent.

I ordered *early* - 6:30 a.m. Pacific - but I ordered from the Pro site, and it seems as though people who ordered from the regular site are still getting theirs. Good luck - fingers crossed for you!!

I know, it's really ridiculous what people will do just to make a buck. Even worse is the people that buy them at $20 over retail...I dunno. I paid $40 for my Lightscapade but it's YEARS after release. I guess people will spend what they want for what they want!

I'm going to try it once Firecracker comes.

Haha thats funny! I've already paired it with Fig 1 and Amber Lights as well and posted it here earlier....maybe she read it

AND STOLE IT! hahaha

I've never put anything on hold, but then I just buy everything online, that way I know it's there.

Thats how I ended up getting my Ripe Peach - it was WEEKS after the launch and a girl never called or picked it up after she put it on hold with a note to be there the day of the launch. I ended up being there for a make-over and they let me buy it since I was interested.

I just googled Summer Tan and now I want it (highly suggestable, I am).

I ordered Get Away Bronze and I am anticipating it's arrival but if Mr. Brown is dancing or walking funny, I'm slamming the door and closing the blinds.

I am super excited because the girl that is doing an ML CP for me wrote to me a couple of hours ago and said ML is safe and is coming home to Ecuador!! yaay... I was thinking maybe I am going to be the ONLY person that owns a ML in my country hahaha

Haha that was me girlie

It'll be on its way to you soon--wanted to ask--do you want me to bubble wrap the inside of the compact? I don't wanna rub any of that pretty overspray off...

Yup, but I ordered from the Pro site... seems as though they must have had last dibs on the stock?? Argh. Oh well, still got one from The Bay so I'm not too fussed

Hope you get your order soon!!

Oh no! I've enabled without even trying!

I used it quite a bit for a while, but the lasting power wasn't that great on me.

I can't believe a crow flew into your head! That's so scary, lol.
Glad you ended up getting your ML

I got a Marine Life at the counter today!

I was the first one there. I hope thrills is still there next friday. It's so pretty, I think the overspray will go fast.
