Iam sure it is! I wonder if there's a fee to register. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for answering my question.

Now I am feeling silly, because I'm sure there's no way I could register now - but when I saw it, I could have registered, it was one and a half month away, not one and a half week.

Maybe you still can. I was going to call and ask but now I am not sure I should since I am on a budget. lol

So I went and got Float On By.

They still didn't have the missing stuff and they had no idea if or when they will get them.

I was going to get Hipness but since it's very similar to Benefit's Coralista which I have, I think I'll get Get-Away bronze instead and maybe a cream bronzer.

The cream bronzers were quite dark, they seemed far too dark and muddy for fair skin, so I recommend if you can, go see them in person.

I'm not so keen on the green packaging, but by and large my bank account is going to be hurting when this comes out! Want.. soo... much..

Aw really? I can't go see them in person, there's no MAC counter near me.

Maybe just Get-Away Bronze then.

I think this was mentioned wayyy earlier in the thread but does anyone know how Hipness and Joyous BPB compare?

Marine Life has a different finish to any of the blushes that you have mentioned. MF is a more of a High-light powder, once the over spray is gone then you are left with a matte blusher in different colours.


Personally, I will not be getting it as i have never liked that the over spray wears off after a few swipes and would rather just stick to the blushers that i have and use a shimmery face product (eg, msf) to highlight.
Hope this helps

It really depends on how you'd like to use it.

thanks, i'll just use my current blushes with a msf to make it shimmery

Yeah, I have Hipness and Instant chic, and will be skipping Marine Life. It looks similar to Hipness in the swatches. I think it's safe for you to skip, Banana1234.

After those swatches I've added Splashing & I'm inching towards Marine Life - it looks so pretty

 

[clslvr6spd]

Hi elegant! Just wanted to say that I love you today...

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I don't have a shade of blush like Marine Life and it's sooo pretty looking that I don't think I can pass it up.
