I'm very glad I got Hipness. I was thinking of passing because I have a few blushes in that family already (Instant Chic, Spaced Out, Springsheen), but I'm so glad I didn't. It's a PERFECT summer blush for me. Similar to Instant Chic, but Instant Chic is a little more 'natural' looking on me.
Man, I am still so in love with this collection.
And I still haven't used Lazy Day because I don't want to run out! :weird:

I have yet to use my eyeshadows from this collection! I need to think of some looks to do with them. I thought of a look to do with Sand & Sun e/s though.

In like my 20th order from this collection, I got Temperature Rising, Beachbound, and Sand & Sun.
Wow.
Just Wow!
I have never used a color like TR. I didn't think I would like this kind of color on me, but holy frijoles, beautiful. Alone, with Beachbound and/or FoF over it, I'm loving it.
I played with Sand & Sun also. I don't get much actual color payoff, but the beauty in this eyeshadow is how it blends edges so well.
Today I put coral crepe PP on, with melon pigment on most of the lid. Hot, Hot, Hot on outer lid, and Sand & Sun to blend the edges. Marine Life on cheeks, and TR with beachbound and FoF on top.
It was a really awesome kind of monochromatic look.
Later on in the day, I played some more and added Bright Future to inner third of lid.
So incredibly different for me, but such a fun look. Extremely happy with it. I wish I had a decent camera to take pics.
I'm glad I got Beachbound. Yes it is really close to Sunsational, less pink perhaps. I love Sunsational so much that I am stingy about using it. Now I can use the it and beachbound more

Yes! TR is amazing! With flurry of fun is pure love! I didn't get Beachbound but maybe I am regretting this now
I wish someone will sell me one for cheap hahaha
The look you did seems amazing! I LOVE to combine Coral Crepe p/p with melon pigment, its such an amazing combo. ML is sooo beautiful! I love it also.
This collection is so nice!

I looovee Beachbound. It took me awhile to finally use it (as opposed to how quickly I tried the rest of my TTB stuff) but I finally did and it's so gorgeous. First time I wore it, I wore it alone... Today I wore it over a brown Avon lippie.

Hi girlies!!
I've missed you all!!
I've been seriously busy and not even lurking here... I'd have to read 118 pages to catch up and just won't do it tonight. So instead I decided to stop by say hello and share with you my brand new To the beach goodies I got on Monday!!
Here it goes:
Firecracker e/s,
Brush 130,
Brush 131,
Hipness blush,
Pink rebel lustre drops,
Sun Rush lustre drops and...
... after months and months swearing I wouldn't get it for anything in this world: Marine Life!!!
I know, I'm weak!!
But I'm happy I caved!!
Anyway, I left my counter with a heavy swatch of Sweet and Punchy cause at store that e/s was just the same as Rated R and doubted to get it. (There's soo much coming on, right??) When I got home I swatched Rated R beside S&P... Slight difference, same colour, different finish!! We already knew...
You know Starflash and VP are my favorite finishes. God, I felt I could not pass it!!
As if it wasn't enough... I fell in love with both creme bronzers!!
I was not sure to get them as I have the Chanel one... But the MAC new ones are shimmery and not matte as the Chanel one.
So I swatched both on my arm and when I got home I swatched beside the Chanel bronzing base. Urrgh!! I wanted it all!!
When hubby arrived home I showed him my swatches and asked "what should I get??" He pointed out the S&P and both creme bronzers!!
Later I explained him what I already had but he actually said, S&P was brighter than RR!! He gave me a naughty look and said "make the call, dear"
If he CAN see the difference, I guess the addict in me is allowed to get her fix!!!
Anyway, when I phoned my MA to confirm to keep my goodies aside for me, she said me she managed to get me a Float on Bly pencil!! Yay!!
This was a collection I wasn't excited for!!

Ok, I've had splashing for a week or so, but today was my first day wearing it and I love it! It's so bright and gorgeous. So glad I ended up buying it. NC45 girls don't be afraid, buy this now! I thought it was just another pink gloss (which I have plenty of), but I don't have anything like this!

I went back for my 2nd TTB haul today: Thrills l/s and Life's A Breeze l/l.
I think I'm officially done with this collection now, time to give my wallet a well-deserved break!
