MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[InspiredBlue]

This is insane. Seriously.

And the Marine Lifes are just sitting on the shelf over here.

I can't believe someone bought 12. The grumpy little lady in me thinks you should call corporate and tell on them for not following the sale limits.

Why is it that Marine Life AND Hipness have completely disappeared on mac.ca? Not even search brought them up. Maybe they are trying to straighten out some orders? No idea.

That is weird, moving it around so that people can't find it hahah.

I always get my mac order in the mail the next day, but not this time. I waited and waited and nothing

I ordered at 3am last night, and then again at noon (for ML), hopefully everything is still coming. I was so excited to get the first one today.

MAC really ought to be enforcing a buying limit, especially on Limited Edition items - 12 at once is total BS.

I can't believe there are 70 ML's on Ebay. I hope people come to their senses and refuse to pay the insane mark-up on them.

Wow, I can only imagine what September is going to be like. I was excited for this collection all along because of the beachy-theme but I wouldn't have guessed it would get so crazy! I have enjoyed reading the thread and people's crazy stories though. The hype/excitement/panic is kind of entertaining... as long as I get everything I want of course!

So I haven't received my stuff yet, but I have tracking orders and should be getting it all next week...

I ordered:

Sweet & Punchy e/s
Firecracker e/s
Thrills l/s
Hipness p/b
Life's a Breeze l/p
Splashing l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g

And of course 1 Marine Life (Thanks Nordies, phew!) Curious about this as an eyeshadow!

I'm contemplating needing a creme bronzer now... opinions, now that alot more people have seen these?

Ahhh, I just got my Lazy Day ls (cause I forgot to add 2 to my first order)

Its so BEAUTIFUL on!!!

I think its my fave natural pink lips lipstick ever!

i just ordered a 3rd

Flaminbird - I can't wait to see it! What's your skintone like?? You might of just sold me on Sand & Sun. How do you like it??

 

[January]

Maybe the lady that bought 12 ML's was doing CP's?? Not likely... but just trying to think of a positive to that. Either way - that's crazy

Hmmm this sounds like something I may need...

THANKS!

Since people are already starting to price gouge on ML I decided to go to my local MAC store and purchase the last three they had in stock. If you did not get one please send me a PM. I am selling these for exactly what it cost me and what it cost to ship to you. If you are planning to buy these and resell them at a higher price please don't contact me for that. I didn't drive and hour and a half to participate in something like that. I missed out on ripe peach so I know how it feels not to get something you really want.

well, I have 203879597460000000000000 pink lippies

& this one seems perfect for me. Its like a natural pink. I do have pigmented lips, so I love how this tones them down & still looks pink.

Oh no....I was watching MakeupFunWithJessie's video last night and she had also mentioned how similar those 2 lipsticks are.

Elegant, please tell me Lazy Day is not similar to Nude Rose!

I'm just not crazy for Nude Rose and was hoping Lazy Day would be quite different.

I also missed out on Ripe Peach.

I totally went to sleep on it.

Thats really nice of you! And also from all the people that are doing CP's, that means a lot to us that aren't able to get to a MAC store or the item is sold out. For me it's extra special because here in Ecuador we don't have a MAC and it feels great not to be left out! So thanks you all! You are amazing!

Since I can't see Marine Life in person until I get mine next week from Vickie I don't know if I'll need a backup or if a friend after seeing it in person will want one so I hope next week there's still some ML to CP!
Also I want to try Flurry of fun so bad to know if I want a backup because I use lipgloss every day! So I have to wait also till next week when I receive my package from Michelle... I really hope there's still some left also.. :S

I get paid tomorrow so I get my allowance (trying to save money). I have altered my To The Beach list four times today. I feel better now that I have my ML which I raced down to the mall to get today. Shhhhh! Don't tell hubby.

Anyway...I added Thrills lipstick (hope there is more tomorrow) on there and took off the lipglasses and eyeliners. I have too many UD liners at the moment...and I don't do well with MAC lipglasses especially the sheer ones. I took Hipness off because someone said that the ML can do the same job - that true? And I of course am buying the beach bag because I love beach bags and towels. Sweet & Punchy, Sand & Sun and Firecracker all still on the list because I didn't buy Hot Hot Hot or Rated R. And I'm going to try my hardest to get a back up of ML.

*palm to forehead*

yer killin me!

I LOVE nude rose. And I really don't have that many subtle pink lippies.

It's been in my cart, mocking me, taunting me, knowing that I'm going to order her.

And I think I like it.
