Welcome to the club... i don't know if you have the same, but i woke up with a horrible eye infection after poking myself in the eye, while trying to remove one of the contacts :/ Not being able to wear any make up for almost 3 weeks now is a torture, as ive got all those lovely art supplies eyeliners I can only stare at now

Those who are having trouble with FOB smudging... maybe it's an idea to use eyeliner sealant (i think that's how it's called, or sealer)? I bought feline recently and despite the super lovely dark colour it smudged on me like crazy. I've used some of Smashbox On Set on top, and it stayed on for hours and hours and hours (I wouldn't use it on the waterline though), not budging even a bit.

All those swatches are making me get more stuff now... Firecracker e/s and Scorcher are calling my name now, as well as Funbathing l/s and Pink Rebel lustre drops. And I am actually thinking of taking Marine Life off my list. It looks slightly more corally than Hipness, which I have already bought. I am going to get Stereo Rose and Petticoat in July instead, I think.

Does anyone know how the light pink lip pencil which came out with the Too Fabulous collection compares to Life's a Breeze?

Oh my. I didn't realise quite a few people have been having eye problems lately. I'm one of them. I started having problems about 3 weeks ago when my eyes started getting red while wearing contacts. And now I can't wear them, and I really do miss my contacts. I haven't seen a doctor yet though since I've been so busy with university deadlines.

I hope everyone with eye problems, or any problems at all, get better soon.

I think In Synch - the light pink lip pencil- is a lot more yellow-toned than Life's a Breeze, which looks more like a blue-pink. I think of it like, In Synch is closer to Plink! lipstick, whereas LaB is closer to Angel.

You can fill your lips with it and top it with gloss like Flurry of Fun

hayfever or allergies? have you tried antihistamine eyedrops?
even if it isnt hayfever/allergies, this will help with symptoms til you see a doctor, but you'd have to take your contacts out

My list has been changing almost everyday.

I know they are different, but can anyone compare Life's A Beach to In Synch? TIA!

EDIT:
I didn't know you guys are already talking about those two.
Thank you, nunu and Princesa Livia.

I haven't been wearing my contacts for weeks since I've been having problems. I don't suffer from hayfever, though it is possible to develop it. I have no other symptoms otherwise though. Antihistamine eye drops seem like a good idea. I'll try that

This is really sad but I love the green colour of the boxes for some of this collection, all of the packaging should have been that colour...and I like the packaging of the pencils, they don't look tacky as I thought they would.

But I'm still only going to get Float On By...I think. I love orange stuff generally in life and so am drawn to Temperature Rising l/p but gosh, where would I wear it? I need to see a swatch on lips...I wonder if it's eye safe? It would make a cool eyeliner maybe lol?

Me too, it sounds pretty! But I don't think I'd ever use it :p

Before I was really bored about this collection but now I am really excited. I can't wait to see everything in person.

Dangit, now I'm adding even more to my already too-big list. I didn't swatch Get Away Bronze, but seeing it now makes me want it >_< ARGH! And now that I look at it, Beurre and Life's a Breeze look NOTHING alike. Now I want Life's a Breeze...and Splashing...

Curse you Specktra and your addicting, enabling boards! *shakes fist, adds more to list*

Why am I not seeing Marine Life on the bloomingdales site? I was going to just go ahead and buy it, but it's already gone (?). WTF?
