MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[missboss82]

Could someone do a comparison of Sand &Sun to Straw Harvest, thanks.

The more swatches we see the more items that are creeping on to my list.
Right now the only definite I have on my list is Hipness.

My Maybe List:
Lazy Day l/s
Sweet & Punchy e/s
Get Away Bronze Blush

I seem to find reasons why I don't need any of these other items. I don't think I need Lazy Day l/s because I think its dupe-able but I don't have anything that could dupe it. I tell myself I don't need Sweet & Punchy e/s because I almost always skip eye makeup. It just wont get used much. I am thinking the Get Away Bronze Blush won't show up on me because I am NC44.

I havn't hauled Marine Life, but I'm really confused - In the promo images the light pink shade is at the top, and the coral at the bottom, and in the photographs that are taken in real life as well as the swatch on the MAC site, the coral is at the top, and the pink at the bottom, is this a mistake or am I being a moose and missing something? Also a Spektra member posted a pan version of Marine Life and her's is the same as the promo images.

Hi Sandra! Nice to meet you

. I didn't find Indonesian member too often here

.

Thanks for the input

. Good to know that because I don't have peach pink blush (yet) so there's another big reason to get it

Thank you nunu

. Then it's going on my 'definitely-buy' list

.

I was thinking between Hipness and Instant Chic, but the latter looks too similar with NARS Gilda for me. Hipness it is

.

I'm drawn to Float on By, although I didn't know if I could pull of such colors on my eyes

.

Tempted with Firecracker e/s because I missed out on Hot3x.

And... Flurry of Fun looks fun. Not sure because of how sheer and sparkly it is though

.

I am getting so anxious for this collection! Thank you again to all of the international ladies for your reviews and swatches.

The more I look at swatches, the more I'm not sure if Ripe Peach and Hipness are similar or not. I'm new to MAC collecting, but for the sake of my budget I don't want to get anything similar to what I already have. I've got a big enough list as is. I'm only buying in this collection until Fabulous Felines comes out, which (un?)fortunately I want almost every single thing. >_< Time to save..

So, can I skip Hipness if I have Ripe Peach? I'm an NC45.

Count me in!

Btw, just went to my MAC store just to check out if they would let me peek the incoming new collection BUT i found out it's out even later than I thought (June 7). I should have checked out this forum more often...

So I just bought myself a blush for a consolation...

QueenofSnark the kitty in your avatar is darling. Is it yours? It's face looks kind of grumpy in a super cute kitty way.

I wonder if Lazy Day l/s can be duped with anything from the permanent line....

Can't wait to see lip swatch for this.

Good thing for me I'm only considering Lazy Day l/s & In The Buff n/p (so broke but thrilled from buying LOL stuff lately!)

Unfortunately the kitty's not mine--I shamelessly grabbed the pic from ICanHasCheezburger. BUT! I do have three kitty furbabies. I just figured the face would work with my screen name.

 

[peachsuns]

QueenOfSnark, your avatar always makes me giggle!
That kitty is just darn cute!

I will get my products next Friday (yay!) and I will post comparison pics with Neo Sci Fi and Manish Arora then!

Does anyone know how the cream bronzers would do on oily skin?
I'm interested in the darker one, but very weary of cream consistency because of my oily skin.
Thanks!

 

[AudreyNicole]

Haven't heard much chatter about the nail polishes... What does eveyone think?

 

[mac_aiken]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but Sweet and Punchy e/s is pictured and highlighted as a must have summer product in the new issue of Marie Claire.

Also the MUAs at my favorite counter are raving about the creme bronzers and the body oil.

 

[charlieee]

i'm curious about the nail polishes too. is the green one the colour of avocado?

 

[Flaminbird]

Still would like to see how Float on By compares to other teal/turquoise liners from UD or MUFE. TIA
