i agree 100% TR is really really easy to tone down, i use pinks, nudes, even chapstick and it softens it out.

I personally am not getting back ups of anything this collection. I really love it, and think some of the stuff is amazing (I am a huge fan of FoF and TR, and surprisingly have been using sand and sun everyday). However, I do not get back ups in general, I do have a pretty large collection and I do still rotate and just do not see me running out this summer (and know I will move on to other stuff in the fall). I rather save money for one of the collections coming out in JUly if I spend more money on MAC this summer.

I agree too. I've used it with Flurry of fun on top or any nude lipgloss and it looks amazing!

Got my Hipness blush, Lazy day l/s, Splashing L/g , and To the Beach Bronze Oil. Put photos and lipswatches in Specktra swatch thread and To the beach swatch thread.

Please try and sell the FoF, it's a awesome color! I am sure someone will want to buy it.

That look was gorgeous by the way!

I finally finished hauling TTB.

Marine Life (3) - 1 to use this summer, 1 back-up 1 to stare at forever & never use
Firecracker e/s
Shimmermoss e/s (pan)
Thrills l/s
Easy Lounger l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g

I love everything I purchased and have been wearing the heck out of!

No more MAC for me until July and Stereo Rose.

I think it blows how small the lip and eye pencils are compared to the ones in regular packaging!

Are they? How much smaller?

 

[MAC_Fafinette14]

They're shorter, but the "lead" is a bit thicker as well, They weigh about the same as regular pencils, though.

 

[riotlove]

ttb-1.5g
regular-1.45g
cremestick-.25g

But like I had said before, this is a tricky color that may not work on everyone, so it's best if you can try it on first before buying.

 

[peachsuns]

Thank you, Winnie!

When I swatched GAB, it looked soft bronze with sheen. Very summery. Since I don't have any blush like it, I've been checking it at the store. Hehe. I'm sure it looks lovely on you.

I really like your new avatar picture, Winnie. :3

 

[Sushi~Flower]

Thanks guys! yes, I will not lie, living out here is pretty amazing, I feel very lucky to call this rock home

As for "LOST", I would be more than happy to share some of my pix from the set locations. It was filmed right down the beach from me

That was both exciting and bit irritating, lol. Traffic would get backed up and LOST fans flooded the usual "quiet " side of the island but now that the show is over, I have to admit, I miss them already

here some pix Ive take throughout the filming :

The beach was used quite a few times, very difficult to get to though

The wrekage looked a little too real

View from the submarine launch

Favorite hangout for Smoke monsters & polar bears

One of the many signs around this area

Before I knew what LOST was, I accidently FOUND the set , so much for a private beach picnic

Hurley's Golf Course

One of the Dharma hatches

Danger? only if Josh Holloway walked by..hubba hubba

The "others" camp

More Oceanic wreckage

Aloha!

Sure thing..it's night time here, but I can do it for you in the morning...anything special you would like me to write?

 

[January]

I ended up buying Sun & Sand today when I went to MAC to do some B2M... going to wear it tomorrow with Firecracker

 

[kiwicleopatra]

Very cool Lost pictures! Look's so gorgeous over there.

Not really, up to you

I'm obsessed with mermaids, so if you had an urge to try to sketch one that could be fun. (and for someone who's obsessed with mermaids and the ocean, I haven't got my hands on any of this line yet!

)

 

[Sushi~Flower]

Not quite sure how my mermaid sketching skills are, but I will give t a try tomorrow

Glad you liked the pix

 

[kiwicleopatra]

Haha, thanks babe!
Wish I could post my set pictures, but that would be very naughty and I want to keep working! lol
