This is one of my favorites of this collection. But then again I have a lot of favorites from this collection.
I would post a pic, but all I have right now is my cell phone, and it is lousy at showing how the colors are.

I like GAB so much because
1. I'm a bronze-y glutton.
2. I have no other face or cheek color like it.

I have been wanting a bronzey color like this for a blush for ever, since college really. I'm several years past college.

This doesn't lean towards orange, or pinky, or red. I have plenty of those colors. I also love the shimmer level. Yeah, it's frosty, but in a good way. It doesn't make my pores look like the Grand Canyon.

I have to keep myself from putting it on several times a day.

I'm NC25 (to 30-ish right now... thank you faux tanning)

I think it's yummy over Beach Bronze.

It'll be great to see a pic of you wearing it since I am NC25 too!

This collection has me thinking about going to my MAC store to get Thrills l/s and Splashing l/g but I have to purchase Ever Hip l/s for someone on here. My MAC break starts on the 1st of June!

I wear contacts so it's even more bothersome. Right now I just have some blurriness and need to clean them again and then usually I'm ok the rest of the day. What is odd is I dont get this redness till the day after and sometimes have the mucous start in the corners by evening time but never during the day while I'm wearing that e/s. How about you? It always clears itself up by the end of the next day.

I do'nt know exactly what ingredients am alegic to, but when I put any of the red, purple, pink colores, my eyes start getting red and when I woke up the other day

I have swallen and mucous and copletely red eye, by the way this will happen even with the purple eyeliner on my waterline; what the hell is that?
so the first thing to do is putting a warm cloth on my lid and a drope of visen A to help with the redness and sometimes it takes two dayes to get recovered..

I'm NC25/30 and The Cream Bronzer - Beach Bronze - kind of just blends in or is a highlight on me.. i'm worried if i get Weekend bronzer it'll be too orange on me..

but i'm not liking the cream bronzer as it's not really doign anything for me.. my store might still have hipness - but i have marine life highlight powder and kind of in the similar family blush like it.. so might not get it - but i really want it LOL!

but i'm also eyeing Get-Away bronze blush.. should i get it?! my worry is that it'll look muddy on me.

WOWWWWWWWWW! I haven't been on since like Wednesday and already you girls have chit-chatted through 40 pages

That's going to take me DAYSSSSSSSSS of reading to do

 

[mssally]

All this talk about Lazy Day made me go back to MAC today and I got it. You guys were all right, it is BEAUTIFUL. I have Gaga & Angel and Lazy Day is more wearable than either one for me. (I'm NC25). I love my Specktra-ettes~!!

I agree same here!

I get the same reaction with some MAC pinks, reds and purples! It is some red dye that does it to me!

ok so i've been gone to the beach and i absolutely loved using the stuff from this collection!

i got weekend beach bronze and it was absolutely amazing. was perfect through the heat/sweating and never glitterbomb or oily. just a nice perfect dewy glowy sheen. i also used marine life on the apples of my cheeks and it was omg amazing.

temp rising, soft lust(cuz i didn't get beach bronze yet) and flurry of fun were perfect(temp rising and vegas volt or vivacious is amazing as well!)

firecracker and sweet and punchy were just fun stuff mixed around in there. it was just perfect!

i took pics of what the girl did on me at the store. i liked it a lot but i think it was just like what i usually do in a way. meh it was so fun though.

i also took a marine life porn picture of the 3 i cp'd and mine

question though: my cream bronzer has brush hairs in it like whoa. i tried a random blush brush(that's my fave and i have glued back together 3+ times) and tried the 187 both got hairs stuck in there.
-any solutions? what brush do you recommend?

sorry if it's been answered before. but thanks!
