I know how it is!!! It's never enough!!

Hubby just said the funniest thing

He looked at my TTB eyeshadows and said "The package looks just like guacamole turning bad".

MY BF was brave enough to venture into the MAC store alone to get me the beach bag as a surprise, and told me afterwards that some of the MAs recognised him and seemed to know for whom he wanted it, because he assompanies me from time to time. He was so bouncy for getting me something I really wished for - it was really cute.

Aww

Cute!

I'm trying to imagine my boyfriend in a MAC store, alone...

He'd be so lost and overwhelmed

So ladies, what were your top picks from To The Beach?

I haven't tried my Easy Lounger, Life's A Breeze or Body Oil yet so I cannot fully comment on those, except they looked nice on hand. From what I've used I love:
- Flurry Of Fun!
- Golden bronzer!
- Temperature Rising used to its full potential!

Nice ones (but didn't got me overly excited):
- Float On By
- Firecracker

Just okay (not bad though!):
- Sand&Sun (just because I had dupes already I didn't realize when purchasing)
- Beachbound (not too unique)

Now I just wait for the warmer sunny days so I can try the body oil!

 

[riotlove]

i wish i coulda gotten the bag. i want it so bad. but alas no money and i highly doubt anyone would swap with me for it. lame sauce! but whatever guess i'll deal.

everyone's being stingy about swapping for ttb stuff. it's lame and i'm REALLY hoping i can figure out some more empties soon so i can see if my store has anymore beach bound, lazy day and sand and sun... but i did a swap for humid! and maybe i can figure out b2m for shimmermoss. meh.

 

[BEA2LS]

My favorite of this collection turned out to be tempature rising though i still use sand and sun the most. flurry of fun is awesome, of course but i am still not much of a lipglass girl.

For anyone here who has the cream bronzers.....do you apply it to your entire face or only certain areas such as cheeks? I just recently got back from vacationa nd have a nice tan and have been using my powder bronzers all over for my face for even colour but i'm unsure if you do that what a cream bronzer? Or should i not even be putting powder bronzer all over my entire face now? LOL! I swear i don't look like Snookie from Jersey Shore!

Hi, I used the cream bronzer in a "3" shape, from forehead, to cheekbones to chin. Not on the apples of the cheeks, but I did sweep it close to there. I just don't want my cheeks to look too greasy, so I avoided the actual apples.

Does this make any sense at all?

Great picks. Mine were:

Sweet & Punchy,
Firecracker,
Float on By and
both creme bronzers.

I still don't venture myself with Marine Life!!

I don't think, you should apply them under any circumstance to your entire face.

You can apply them, as abby quack suggested or try the apples of your cheeks, your nose, chin and forehead. I don't find them oily at all.

If you're already tanned, be sure to apply them with light hand.

My top picks:

Flurry of fun l/g: I LOVE it! I have 2 because I am scared of running out of it. It looks amazing over practically any lipstick. Yesterday I used it on top of Lollipop Loving and it looks awesome!

Marine Life High-Light: Not only the design is amazing but the color is wonderful! Its the perfect coral blush for me and it gives my cheeks such a nice glow. LOVE it!

Refined Golden Bronzer: It is a great bronzer! The color doesn't turn orange or anything and it gives a really nice glow.

Temperature rising l/l: At first when you swatch it, it looks really orange but blended out on the lips an paired with a lipgloss (Flurry of fun for instance) it turns into a beautiful corally color! Its an amazing lip liner and I am sad for not getting a backup

*I am waiting for Get-away bronze and Hipness so when I try those maybe they'll be on my list too

 

[monter]

My tops:

Lazy Day

Firecracker
Hipness (worn this almost every single day since launch, haha)
Thrills
Flurry of Fun

I still haven't tried my Marine Life. Maybe I never will? So pretty with the overspray...

To the Beach has just come out here in New Zealand this week- and I think I'm kinda in love with it! I honestly thought I wasn't going to get anything from this collection but as soon as I saw it in person I changed my mind!
So far I have picked up:
Flurry of Fun
Temperature Rising
Fireracker
Sand and Sun
and the 131 brush!
I think I'm going to end up popping back to my MAC counter to pick up some more goodies!
