Aloha!

Just got Splashing in the mail today and it is just perfectly lovely! The perfect kind of pink for me! Anybody have any suggestions for medium pink lipsticks that resemble Splashing?

Aw, I'm sorry the luster drops arn't working for you!

I mix mine with my foundation and it gives me a little glow. Have you tried dabbing it onto your cheeks?

Is it just me but I don't want my MAC casings to get scratched especially my ML cover so I always store them very carefully trying not to make the top part touch each other but now i have issue with space. Oh silly me...

All of my to the beach collection are still in boxes because I'm afraid of ruining the packaging

It isn't for me. I swatched it and it looked way too red. It would have looked terrible on me so I gave it a pass. Definitely a no-go with my skin tone as well.

I was SO close to getting another Sun Rush Lustre Drop today, but I fought the urge. However I am still plotting on buying one. I swatched Easy Lounger again, but it's just not necessary. I went to Nordstroms and the Mac store and played with this collection in both stores. Something is wrong with me.

 

[Teggy]

This whole collection is a pass for me. Just not my style. I was at Nordstrom's today and tried the lusture drops and bronzer on my hands and all they did was make me glittery. Not much pigment at all. If I want to get glitterfied, I could do it for a lot less money.

 

[Flaminbird]

Well I tried Beach Bronze and I just can't see me keeping it. It only appears to look good as a contour on my cheeks

. I tried it other places on my face but like my forehead you wont see it due to bangs and it doesnt look right anywhere else on my face. I just cant see keeping for just the hollows of my cheeks.

In other news I feel like crap! I got a stinkin cold or sinus infection!! Ugghhh. Colds/sinus infections are just so much worse when it's warm outside!! I wont' have any insurance till like October so I will have to just hope it goes away sooon. Blahhh

 

[riotlove]

aww flaminbird if i ever come into money i'll buy it from ya. i think i want one that's a bit lighter to use on me too. haha i gotta find ppl who are swapping the ttb items and not asking an arm and a leg for them. boo!

ps feel better

being sick sucks!

 

[shootergirlnc]

They've restocked the lipsticks, FOF, life's a breeze, sweet and punchy, and hipness on the website.

 

[elegant-one]

^^^Awesome, Thanks! I just ordered another Life's A Breeze - with MACMONDAY code for free overnight shipping!

 

[peachsuns]

^ Thanks for the shipping code!

Life's A Breeze

 

[elegant-one]

Chanel Stresa Lipstick looks divine over Life's A Breeze lp!

Stresa is a very sheer, pale blue baby pink with a kind of a duochrome/bubble sheen affect.

Also, many of us opted for the Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer! instead of the MAC ones. We are chatting about it in the Chanel thread if you are interested

Mine had the same smell. I was wondering about it but I didn't post. I aired it out for about a week now and most of the smell is gone. But it's still there if I close the compact.

Lol, nothing wrong with you! I've gone back to the MAC counter/store several times to play with everything again. I could probably go everyday!!

Maybe there's something 'wrong' with a lot of us?? And now I want Sun Rush lustre drops too!!

Oh no Michelle! That really sucks! So it is too dark for you? I am NC25 and was thinking that maybe it'll look more of a highlighter for me... is it too sparkly?

 

[riotlove]

i'm kicking myself for not getting the bag. i want it so bad to go to the beach
