Thank you! It's my absolute favorite in this collection. I tend to like the lippies that others take for granted. Lol

I'm having the same problem, plus it drys your lips out when you try to wear it alone. I am planning to return mine. I hate when I have to work too hard to make a lippie work. My rule is if I can't wear it alone then I don't want it.

Well, Thrills isn't my favorite shade, but it isn't a bad color. It can feel drying and it can settle in lip lines (for me at least). I think the key is to put on as less as possible. I mean, lustres are my favorite Mac formula and with those I am used to going around and around my lips to build the color. You can't do that with Thrills without adding frost and just way too much product. So, try sticking to one coat. If you like, you can even use a lip brush. Right now I can't even find mine(!) but I would hold on to it anyway.

i'm a collection grazer, i picked up flurry of fun yesterday. overall i like it but am not sure how much versatility i will get out of it. it eally dazzles over loud and lovely l/g and burgundy liner but washed me out when i accidentally put it on over my neutral lip of siss and chestnut (which is why i need to stop driving while blindly applying!).
i will say it is the perfect going to the club gloss- it's so unique, glad i took the time to swatch it.

Ok, so I took thrills back because I could not make it work for me and I picked up Easy Lounger instead. I passed on funbathing because after side by side swatches of "O", I just could not justify having both lipstick.
here is the look of O lipstick, with currant liner, and easy lounger on top. I love it!!!!
Thanks for the all the ladies that raved about the combo using funbathing .

i looked at some nars blushes today. I am thinking torrid and dolce vita are in the same department as the dark side of marine life. not saying they are dupes, but they look kinda coralesque to me. i swatched them with marine like and i could see they were related somehow, lol. torrid is coral with shimmer, dolce vita is described as dusty rose.

i saw her list and i tried, but can't go by those suggestions on this one. like for example, i checked out deep throat based on that recommendation and its nothing like marine life. its not even pigmented like marine life and has way more shimmer. dolce vita is more pigmented like marine life. i swatched them side by side and they were in the same vein as far as pigmentation goes. i had to research my own products that were similar, i don't think it can be duped cause really, there isn't anything out there like it. she did suggest fleur power which i saw today, that is pigmented and in the same color family as well.

I think that no one product is going to dupe Marine Life, but Foolish Me looked like a pretty close match, and it is pigmented. CARGO's Rome is very similar to Foolish Me as well. I would do some swatches myself, but I haven't used my ML yet and I don't want to wipe off the overspray just to swatch. I just think Dolce is to rosey/mauve to work, although it is pigmented. I think something like CARGO's Laguna layered with something like Spingsheen, Sunbasque, or NARS Torrid or Deep Throat might work. Or even something like a very light sweep Devil plus Dollymix. There are probably a handful of different combos that would recreate that shade.
** Just did a little swatching, and I think Devil is a good starting place (Laguna would be a better starting place if you have it because it isn't quite as pigmented/dark/orange). You can just keep trying different Sheertone Shimmer finish blushes over it until you get something close. And Devil + Sunbasque and Devil + Dollymix are HOT! **

you are right, devil would be good and i have it on my list for the next time i am at MAC pro, i have a friend that got it and loves it. that and salsarose. since you mentioned dollymix, a great pink, but a little on the sheer side. hmmm i wonder how devil and full fuchsia would do. i have to try that out too.
some one has a youtube out that pink tutu by estee lauder's kohl brand FLIRT! is a dupe for marine life. i thought that was interesting, so i am going to check that out too. FLIRT! has tons of MAC dupes. YouTube - MAC marine life dupes!

I was going to edit my post to mention Salsarose too! I think if you could spice it up with something a tad more apricot/orange/peach/ you would get a really nice coral.
I think Devil + Full Fuchsia would be pretty. Also another idea is working with Frankly Scarlet. I wonder what FS + Foolish Me or FS + Torrid would look like...

I think I've finally finished hauling from this collection. I picked up Hipness blush - love it ! this shade is so gorgeous and Temperature Rising l/p - such an interesting color.
I'm NC45/50 for reference and was surprised by Hipness. The MAC mua tried it on me and I was so surprised - I didn't care for it when I swatched it on my hand but on my cheeks - pure love!
I'm glad I stumbled on this one! It was sold out at my local counter but the backup counter I frequent had loads of them in stock.
I love everything I got from this collection:
Hipness blush
Marine Life
Easy Lounger l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g - love it!
Temperature Rising l/p
Thrills l/s
Lazy Day l/s
Sweet/Punchy e/s
Firecracker e/s
Shimmermoss e/s (pan)
Whew!
I'm suffering from MAC overload right now - no more MAC until Stereo Rose is released.
And after that No more MAC until next January! haha - yeah right!
