You are so right too about finding people in real life who like makeup!

Thanks for the well wishes

Yes it's hard! my friends all think I'm crazy for spending so much and picking what i want based on swatches weeks before collection launches haha. But hey it makes me happy when i get home with my new goodies. (gosh that was spoken like a true addict)

I checked Nordstrom website and I found this under In-Store Events:

MAC to the Beach Event
Friday, June 4 - Sunday, June 6, 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
You’re invited to experience MAC’s newest collection, To the Beach. A team of MAC Artists will be on hand offering one-on-one demonstrations to take you through this safe way to evoke the golden glow of a walk on the beach, the magical moodiness of sunsets all over the world, colours shifting from glowing gold to glorious bronze to sundown brown. Beach boys will be making custom necklaces from shells and beads for customers to take home as a special gift from MAC. Space is limited; reserve your appointment today!

It's pretty late, huh? The collection is launched already! Does it mean they will sell more items at the event? (more Marine Life?)
Well I'm done hauling but...thinking of beach boys will be making me custom necklace makes me wanna come to check it out

I think that dang seahorse should be called:

1) Mr. Limited
2) The Fastest Horse
3) Ms. Pricey

@Flaminbird

That looks gorgeous!! I love love love it. (pardon my over excitement it's partially the meds)
But i love your look

 

[pampie]

got a email this morning saying:
Thank you for the order you recently placed on our website. Unfortunately, Marine Life High Light Powder was a limited edition item and we no longer have any stock remaining. We apologize for any inconvenience. You will receive the remainder of your order in approximately 3-5 business days.

I ordered from the mac canada website on tuesday at 12pm. ML was restocked on the site on wednesday too. it doesn't make sense! did anyone else get this email? i'm so mad! >=(

(I'm a little late on this, catching up on the thread!!)

Ohmygosh, I would've been SO mad. I might've actually ranted at the MA a little.

Truthfully I don't blame Nordstrom, I think this is MAC's fault for not filling their store's inventory properly. I mean they sent my Nordstom 2? This is such a big store there are 2 huge MAC counters in it. They said they were expecting 2 cases of ML, not 2 compacts.

Interesting thing about Float on By.

So eye liners usually smudge badly on me, especially when I use it for my waterline. I put Float on By on when I got home at around 11am, and now it's 6pm and still ROCK SOLID. It has not moved a millimeter!

I know a lot of ladies said it migrated badly on them, but it really worked great on my water line.

2 MAC counters - wow!

Nordies has been notorious for not filling/missing/canceling orders that its so frustrating. I stopped ordering makeup from their site because of it.

But, I am happy for you.

 

[purrtykitty]

Such a pretty look, Michelle!

I have to comment on Float on By too... when I got home this morning, I swatched everything I had gotten on my hand to show my hubby. When I went to wash it off, I had to scrub my hand (with a nail brush) to get FoB to come off. There is still slight evidence of it on my hand and I have washed my hands several times today. It's definately not smudgy on me...

So i ordered ML yesterday when it was still in stock. I woke up this morning and still didn't get a confirmation which i thought was weird. I went downtown today to do some school stuff and stopped by the bay granville mac and got the last marine life !!! i got it just in case my online order got cancelled or have two ML. So i come home and check my phone messages and found out that my order had to be cancelled because ML was sold out, the girl was super sweet and they will still send out my free zoom lash sample lulz ...

And the thing is i was actually about to leave the mac store and just rely on my online order .. thankk god i didn't do that.

And I know you will like to hear I decided to buy Lazy Day l/s & FoF l/g. I also ordered a RG to replace my poor broken one from NeoSciFi.
AND now UPS just pulled up with my backup ML, so now its a good day...or should I say VERY good day

You look gorgeous! I'm loving all these TTB looks... can't wait for my stuff to come next week... come on Fed Ex, do your thing!

 

[yazerella]

@Flaminbird

That look is gorgeous! Ohhhhh, you're making me want FoB and Sand&Sun... But I already have so many UD liners that I've forbidden myself from buying more liners!

 

[Luiza_T]

Yesterday I failed my road test (ooops), so in the afternoon I decided to get a backup for Hipness to make me feel better, and a bronzer, and some time after I saw it was sold out. OMG, I thought only ML would sell out so fast. But my order went through and it was shipped already.
