MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[cougargirl]

Ooh la la, where to begin. I love swatches! How exciting. The eyeshadows look so fresh and fun for summer. I am continuing my eager countdown. It's getting closer. I can't wait until May! I think for now I will stick with all the eyeshadows except Sand and Sun. For some reason, that one is not catching my eye. Perhaps, I will feel differently once I swatch it. Splashing and Easy Lounger look like really pretty and easy to wear colors for the summer months. I have a feeling that I won't be able to pass up Float on By. That color is gorgeous! Of course, Marine Life and Hipness will also find their way home with me. I hope nothing else hops into that black box though I think that I will be adding Pink Rebel and Refined Golden to my growing collection. Hopefully, I will stop after that, but I would like to add a lipstick or two if they are not overly shimmery when swatched. Loving what I am seeing so far!

Firecracker is such a pretty color, but I'm not too sure if I'd be able to pull it off...

My eyes usually looks swollen or i've-cried-for-an-hour whenever I use an e/s shade that has reddish tint in them (I'm talking about you -- Texture).

Any tips on how I could use Firecracker?

I don't wear foundation so maybe the cream bronzer will work!
I still need to make a desicion on one blush, I can't get all three.

The more I look at the swatches, the more impatient I get for the collection to come out... My entire list has got 8 items on my whole list! =D I wonder if beachbound will look goldish on me though. =X

I think that would be pretty for summer, no?

XD maybe... But I've never tried that before... Might be my thing to try for this period... (XD It's summer all round here in singapore)

 

[ElleStar04]

Am I the only one underwhelmed? The only thing I care about are the cream bronzers.

I am thinking it might look hot with sweet and punchy.

I am excited about sweet and punchy, I love that its a veluxe pearl.

I am so excited for the VP finish. It's my favorite! I love the looks of Rated R eyeshadow, but really don't care for the Starflash finish. I can't wait for Sweet & Punchy!

I still only want 5-6 things not bad. Hipness is a must and Thrills lipstick is creeping up on me, that swatch is super pretty. Like everyone else I want Firecraker and Sweet & Punchy. Also the coral red nail polish and the pink lip pencil, In Sync lip pencil was to yellow pink but this one looks awesome.

Same here!! The starflash finish has been pissing me off lately, it dissappears before I have a chance to even finish my makeup. I don't have this problem with any of my other shadows.

I'm gonna have to fight the urge to get two of those seahorse powders (yes, that is what I will call them thank you very much)! Maybe I'll buy 2 of the Coral Crepe's. So so excited!

Caught up here

I think I am skipping Sweet and Punchy..its similar to something I have from NYX. Definitely wanting Firecracker and maybe a lipstick/gloss. But swatches always tend to change my mind!

just like the descriptions say, thrills is rosy and funbathing is plum. eye kohls don't have glitter, but some do have shimmer, like teddy. Quote:

All maybes because I hope to save some money for other collections - more dazzleglass! ETA: Is Sweet & punchy anything like Lucky Green, veluxe pearl as well? I love Lucky Green very much and wonder if I need S&P.

comparing S&P to LG, think lime to kiwi. does that help?

i may end up eith the plumliner too.... it sounds too nice to skip!

i still can't get over who much i like the swatches1 i'm still shocked this collection is as pretty as it is!

 

[GlamYOURUs]

My list so far: lol

Sand & Sun – Light Peach (Matte)
Lazy Day – Light Dirty Blue Pink (Lustre)
FunBathing – Mid-Tone Bronzed Plum (CremeSheen)
Flurry of Fun – Sheer Sparkly Peach
Splashing – Mid-Tone Blue Pink with Soft Gold Pearl
Life’s a Breeze – Soft Pink
Float on By – Dark Green Turquoise
Rosemary & Thyme – Mid-Tone Olive Gold with Shimmer
In the Buff – Muted Taupe Avocado (Cream)
Scorcher – Creamy Bright Coral Red (Cream)
Bronze Body Oil
Brush 131 Short Duo Fibre Powder/ Blush

I know this will drastically change when the date approaches and as I see more swatches.

I have Humid, I don't care for Shimmermoss bc I have 10 better looking aquas. I don't like how red Firecracker is and I love my Firespot. Rated R is so much more beautiful than Sweet & Punchy.

But I definitely want that light coral shadow - Sand & Sun!
