A CANCELLATION EMAIL would have been appricicated. Now there is no way I am going to get that thing. Damnit!


OMG, this is so scary! So sorry that you didn't receive a cancellation email or anything. This is not nice at all.

What does your order status say for Marine Life? Does it say shipped or pending? Have you tried the local stores? Hope you'll be able to get it!

Yes, you do. I would have gotten the bag, BUT....1. it is too big...2. the handles are too short. If the bag was shorter in length and the handles were longer, it would be perfect. I am 5'6" and if I hold the bag, it grazes the floor. I tried putting the bag on my shoulder and it doesn't stay because of the rope handles. It is very cute- not too overpriced. Canvas is similar to that of Kate Spade's. Oh and if it doesn't say online, the green tag is actually a coin purse.

In other news, I called around this morning... and after my rant post, I found a Bloomies with ML in stock.

I asked the MUA to hold one for me and I would be right there. She said oh we have plenty, it's okay. By the time I got there- literally half an hour later. They only had ONE left. She said that they only put the collection out there yesterday. I guess Bloomies has different policies than Nordies regarding launch. If you are in Northern NJ and looking for ML, call the Bloomies at SH as they may still have one left.

I picked up "Splashing" as well. Almost got "Easy Lounger", but thought I wouldn't get a lot of use as it is glittery.

I am now a happy camper!

I played a bit, and ended up getting Firecracker and Sweet & Punchy, along with 2 ML...one to use and one to look at!! Crazy, I know...

She was sure they would be sold out of ML before noon.

I'm going back today and having makeup done, and will get FoF and Lazy Day, and Thrills if they have any left. I might pick up the orange lipliner, not sure yet...and Float on By? Do I NEED another teal eye pencil???

I'm passing on the bronzers, I have enough Refined Golden to bronze a small village. I'm oily, so the cream bronzers aren't singing to me. I have Hipness from Fafi, but I'll have a look at Get Away Bronze.


That is the funniest thing I've read today!

That is so messed up, I would complain to them about it. I would be livid had it been me.

Also, if you still aren't able to get a hold of it next week and if you live in the u.s., I bought two through Nordstrom that should be arriving on the 2nd. I'd be happy to send you my extra one at cost (I think it's $32 or something with shipping and taxes).

Ladies in the Toronto Area, I have two BNIB Marine life's. I'm selling retail plus taxes. To save with shipping I'd rather do meets ups. If not I'm willing to ship as long as you cover

PM me!

Hope that helps anyone who has missed out.

Nice! That means I can get my baby's snacks and pool/beach toys in there, my makeup bag, our beach large Disney beach towels and our beach blanket into the bag. Hubby is 6'4 so he can carry it. Ha! The way you describe the bag reminds me of a carpet bag. Big bag with short handles.

Does Hipness show up on dark skin? Does Hipness look like and go on like the corally part of ML?

Thanks for the offers and 'support' (I feel a bit silly saying that about a powder, but I really wanted it!) you guys!
smiles.gif


Obsuria, thanks for the offer, but I am outside of the US, in Canada.

Order status is not avaliable in Canada, so there was no way I could have checked that. Currently it says N/A for all items as a default.

I've just PM'd soundclash, so hopefully it isn't too late!

I got my order in just now. The bag is nice. It is built good and now holding it, I would say it was worth the price so nervermind what I said earlier. The only thing I didnt expect was it being so big. On the site it makes it look like its smaller but no its huge. It's really good if you live near a beach, itd be perfect. Unfortunantly I live in southern michigan and there are not many nice beaches around to show off my bag. I also got my marine life and it is really pretty but now actually looking at it, its not as nice as it looked on the computer screen. It's one of those products that its nice to have but I really dont think it was the standout product of the collection. I like looking at flurry of fun more.
