I think it's the unexpected that appeals with In The Buff. At first glance it is an ugly colour, but it is so unusual and that's what draws me in. I like new odd colours that you would not expect to see in make up. Uglypretty!
I hope I can get my hands to Life's A Breeze and if that rocks, I could be satisfied. Otherwise if I don't have even one good purchase with this collection I will be feeling blue.
I've decided to skip Hipness as I predicted. It is too close to Dainty and Instant Chic, and I find IC to be more versatile. I can always add shimmer and frost so there's more ways I can wear a matte blush.
And for those who were interested in the difference between TTB packaging and Neo-Scifi packaging: NS is in-your-face-bright-neon orange where TTB is muted, softer, darker coraly orange.

Do any of you Canadian gals know when this collection will *finally* be released in Canada?? I'm getting so impatient! Have been stalking the counters and the pro website all week... but there's nothing yet!
And YES, I'm completely terrified that Marine Life will already be gone before it's even released here - eeeek!

I lol'ed when I saw how S&S was completely invisible on her. And I did live chat just now to confirm the date of this collection since bloomingdales had it so early & they did confirm 5/27 in store & 5/25 online. Of course I'll check online every day until then, but those are the dates the live chat girl said FYI |

I met with my MA last week while I was picking up my 3 Superglasses and she let me put my stuff for To The Beach on hold. I'm getting: Sand and Sun, Firecracker, Float on By, Temperature Rising, Splashing, and Flurry of Fun. I'm going to wait to swatch Funbathing and Beachbound on my lips and I already have Thrills. Ladies...if you have a local CCO you may want to check for Thrills b/c that's where I purchased mine about 2 months ago.
Also, she MADE me get Marine Life and, for those who are wondering, it will definitely be a rush item like Ripe Peach. Idk why MAC releases these things in such small quantities but I guess it's their marketing strategy.
The counter I frequent is 1 of 4 in the New Orleans area and we have a freestanding MAC store. With that said, this counter only got 9 of the Marine life's. When I left, it was already down to 6 because she put my 1 on hold, she took 1 for herself b/c MA's did not get this as gratis and they have to pull 1 from the stock to make their testers...so this will definitely be sold out on the 1st day. I'm getting it just to be on the safe side. HTH!
Special request: Could someone please swatch Arena, Tete a Tint, and Sand and Sun for me? I'm really on the fence with this one as it didn't show up on Karen and I am darker than her (NC45).

Yep it's all in the marketing. Generate hype and people will rush trying to get it. While there they probably pick up other products even/especially if it's sold out. I remember ripe peach sold out at my counter at around 10am on launch day... oh, did i mention they opened at 8.45?
(this was in the Netherlands but i figure its the same everywhere)

I was wondering if anyone who bought Lazy Day lipstick could take some pics wearing it? I would love to see pics of people wearing. I am not close to a mac counter or anything so I have to rely on online swatches. I would really appreciate it.
Lazy Day appears to be a pinky-lavender color in some swatches and others more like a just plain ole pink that i could surely dupe. I have my final list narrow down and this is just the one thing I am not sure of.

Ok I am WAYYY behind right now, does anyone know if this collection is coming out earlier than May 27th? I heard something about an unveiling on May 18th, but you cannot actually purchase until May 27th right?
Also does any one know if the cream bronzers are sparkle/shimmer/glitter laden?
Thankyou ladies!
