Today I wore Flurry Of Fun and it was a very hot and bright day. The sparkles are even more obvious in sunlight like InspiredBlue said, it's like sea of diamonds!!

Fafi Hipness is more coral & a lil more shimmer better texture. The Beach Hipness is more chalky/lighter/carnation pink coral. Now maybe its different with different batches - but the one I swatched is def. different. And, I was one of the first to swatch from the container. |

I am going to totally skip hipness. Most people are coming in this thread adding to there list but mine is getting shorter. I only have 2 things left on my list, In the Buff n/l and Lazy Day l/s.
What made me want hipness was all the old swatches of Hipness from the Fafi collection. I went back and compared photos of the blushes from Fafi and To The Beach and there is a difference you can see it in the pics. It is a disappointment that MAC is re-promoting items but making them slightly different.

Do you think NARS Torrid is like the Marine Life powder?

Its not way different, but it was noticeably different to a crazy color person like me - well & the MA. Its just a bit chalkier/slight lighter/paler/pinker. Maybe we were the only 2 to notice

I wrote in a couple of post back that Hipness looked very similar on the cheek with Nars Gilda. Well, I bought Hipness anyways because it just looked so pretty with the green packaging
.
Anyways, I tried it again at home, one on each cheek, and Hipness definitely looked slightly pinker and sheerer than Gilda. Hipness is great on the days when I wore more intense eyeshadow/lipstick. Or when I'd go for a more subtle makeup look. It looked so pretty on and I love it!
It does seemed chalky, but IMO less than Instant Chic. I couldn't really see the chalky on me, and I have darker skintone

Ya, I found Instant Chic on the chalky side too, but I find that with the sheertone blushes more so than any other finish.
All this talk of Hipness being more pink this time is making me want it more!

Really, do you mean the cream or the oil? I didn't see glitter in the lighter cream bronzer. I hate glitter (except that zipper everyone hates)

Haha, I'm so excited too. I've been literally crossing off dates from my calendar on my desk and I've put a big note on Thursday the 27th saying "GO TO MAC!" (ya, know, just in case if I forget, though not bloody likely!).
The 27th can't come soon enough!
