I don't have any coral blushes at all so that's why I got it. The MAC ma did use it on me when I had my m/u done two weeks ago and I liked it then. I had gotten too many other things so I didnt get it when I was there thinking they wouldn't sell out and I could get it later. I wanted the Beach Bronze more then Hipness but now since I decided to sell that or take it back I ordered Hipness. I'm pretty fair with no tan on my face and only slight tan on my arms. I'd say if you dont have any other corals then get it......if so then pass.

Oh man, Now I'm wondering if I need a back-up of hipness......Thinking, thinking....

Hahaha you all make me laugh! I didn't get Hipness because I have Marine Life and Stereo Rose so I think I have 2 beautiful coral blushes and don't need more

Tee hee ^

OH, my gosh, I know..
I'm rationalizing...
not that many pinky coralish blushes... and stereo rose doesn't count because it's an MSF..
blah de blah...


oy vey.

If I didn't get so much fun out of ML, and the fact that I have no other color similar, there is no way. But LOVE that color and tone.

Actually, the fact that I didn't order a back up of GAB is surprising to me. I thought for sure that I would order a back up of that, before I would order Hipness.
crazeeeeee... me

I am NW15. The MAC Artist put Hipness on me during my makeover. It was o.k. It was chalky. I liked Marine Life better on me.

OH, btw...
I finally realized what Thrills has been reminding me of.
I ordered Laura Geller's "the Tropics" over a year ago. I LOVED that color.
That is very close to Thrills.

I love that color and Thrills enough that I ordered a backup of Thrills.

(btw, the gloss that comes with Laura Geller.. actually hurts lips, but is soooo pretty.)

Awww, you girls are just so sweet! I was looking for any excuse for NOT ordering online tonight. No code, no ordering would have worked. I have to fight the urge again.

Thank you, ladies. Love ya!

~~~cue the angels & harps~~~

I drove home from work and there on my front door step was the package!

My Marine Life (s) had arrived!

I quickly dashed in the front door and ripped open the package praying that they had survived their long journey from Indiana to Hawaii intact....after carefully extracting them from their green boxes I was pleased to see that two perfectly golden seahorses had indeed survived!
I can't believe I actually posed them for a picture

...I have reached a new level of mac insanity, so here they are in all there golden and coral splendor sitting on my desk:

I can officially rest easy now *sigh*.....well, at least until the next collection, lol

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

OMG! Those pictures are so nice! Look at the little sea horses posing! The last picture is beautiful!!

 

[misha5150]

sushi flower your picture with the ocean in the background is so damn fly!!! loves it!!

 

[marajode]

Oh, my.. it makes my heart happy to see what good homes they have!
Don't they look so happy!

They still have six Marine Life and four Hipness blushes. I once was talking to a girl that works there and she said they do shipping. So the counter is in Mishawaka, IN and the phone number is 1-574-273-9462 The girl that is a gem and always helps me out is Simone if you'd like to ask for her. She's quite nicer then the other gals. I hope this helps some of you.

Jenntoz...again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! If it were not for this post there would have been no ML for me, so my deepest gratitude goes to you for the great tip and info!

i'm very pale and i bought hipness too. i think it's a very pretty color, but i wouldn't call it unique. i say if you have money to spare buy it, if you have something similiar i think you can skip it. there are so many gorgeous blushes coming out in july (in the groove).

It is indeed, cheers hun. A quad for us is $110. Marine Life will be (when it launches next week) $68. Our dollar just took a sudden dive in the past couple days

Before then it was waaay cheaper to buy the US retail price+shipping costs, than to use a Pro discount here.

I just noticed a problem, looking at my eyeshadows - I bought them at the unveiling party so there's no chance it could be counterfeit. But Firecracker and Sweet & Punchy are 1.3g instead of 1.5g. Sand & Sun is 1.5g though. Did the same happen to anyone here? Can I be in trouble in the future when I B2M? I threw away the receipt yesterday because I thought I wouldn't need it, and the purchase was not put on my file, it was under "Guest".

So, I went and took a look at my other eyeshadows and my Nanogold is a "luster", instead of "lustre".

But this one I can prove it's genuine, the purchase of this eyeshadow is recorded on my account at maccosmetics.ca.

Now what are the chances I'd have every single one of these?

All mine are the same. The nanogold batchcode is AA9 if that helps.

Thank you, Marusia.

Yes, it is AA9 for Nanogold. And A10 for both Firecracker and Sweet & Punchy.
