Hi everyone! I just got back from my pro store with loot from this collection! I wasn't able to see Marine Life as the displayer was missing and it was already out of stock, but I'm quite happy I didn't see it though. At least I wouldn't have spent money on something that just looks pretty, that I probably have colour dupes for in my collection.
Overall, I thought this collection was lovely. There are a lot of wearable colours. Here's what I got:
Lazy Day lipstick - Though not unique, I thought this was the most wearable out of all of them. I also wanted to have a lippie that was specially packaged so I got it. I already have Thrills, which is permanent. I skipped Beachbound because its similar to Sunsonic, which i have but never use.
Life's a breeze lip pencil - I've been waiting for a light blue pink lip pencil from MAC for quite a long time, and I'm happy to finally have The One. When I picked it up however, I did notice that it was a lot shorter than the normal lip pencils - about 1 inch shorter- however these new pencils and the old ones weigh 1.5g. Quite strange.
Sun Rush lustre drops - Gorgeous golden shimmer. I'm looking forward to wearing a few drops of this with tinted moisturiser or liquid foundation!
Get Away Bronze blusher - Such a pretty bronze colour. When I saw swatches online, I thought this looked way too shimmer and I was ready to skip it, but in person its actually not as shimmery as that (imo). Its a beautiful colour!
Beach Bronze cream blush - Lighter of the two cream blushes, but I noticed that this one seemed to have more shimmers than Weekend. Very buildable, and easy to blend. Cream to powder finish!
Sand and Sun eyeshadow - Oh my. It is nothing like Tete a Tint or Samoa Silk! It is definitely peachier. It has the Instant Chic-feel. The colour itself looks glowy, although it is a matte. I don't know why other people with similar skin tone to me thought this was unpigmented. I would say it was decently pigmented, not unpigmented to say the least! Tete a tint is a LOT more brown, and Samoa Silk is a lot more yellow.
Firecracker eyeshadow- I don't know if I'm ever going to use this (I probably will though
), it looks quite intimidating. But I bought it because it was beautiful. I honestly thought this colour was very unique. Its a reddish-coral but it seems to have a pinkish duochrome to it. A lovely colour
So that's my review of the stuff I got! Hope this was helpful!

i went to see marine life today, its not very special in my opinion, i'm glad i waited to see it in person, once the overspray was gone, it was like a less pigmented not as nice hipness with more sheen
when i used sand and sun today it was very pigmented, it almost had a luminous look to it, and it is odd, when i tried to swatch it on my hand from my finger, it would not come off my finger, but when i used a brush it applied like a dream, it seemed to stick to the oils on my finger, and did not want to transfer, but with a brush, it was gorgeous
i also find the colour very bright on my skin tone

For those of you interested in the lustre drops, I went to a CCO last week and they had both of them! If you want to save some $$$ definitely go check out your nearest CCO and see if they have them in stock! My CCO had a TON of them!

On another note... For the ladies in Germany, isn't it a bit humorous that the marine life highlight powder is cheaper than the blushes online?
I don't think i'll ever really understand how mac in Germany, France and the Netherlands come up with these prices :S It's usually overpriced and with certain items being strangely under priced.

I received my purchases yesterday!
Had planned to go to the Pro store today to see Get Away Bronze Blush in person [wanted to try b4 I buy] but trying to be good and not spend MORE money.
Anyhows, as for what I bought online and received.....
E/S: Firecracker - Very cute and unusual.
E/S: Sweet & Punchy - very limey, I like!
Blush: Hipness - Imagine, I have yet to swatch/try this, I am not sure if I love it yet...of course swatching would help lol.
L/G: Flurry Of Fun - Wow, I love, love, love this colour....very tempted to by a back up or two!!
