i got a bunch of things in two separate hauls...somehow that makes me feel a little better about dropping so much money, and spreads out the exhilaration of having new makeup to play with!

i ended up getting:
marine life
firecracker
sun and sand
sweet and punchy
shimmermoss
humid
float on by
temperature rising
funbathing

i was surprised at marine life - i originally thought i wouldn't be interested at all, partly because i'm not really into the gold seahorse and it didn't look particularly exciting to me in the promo pics. when i swatched however, i was converted! i'm kind of glad though that the gold goes away.

i haven't actually tried the lip pencil or funbathing yet...i guess that's still me spreading out the fun a little....

from the ladies who have thrills lipstick - do you think it would work for nw35 /nw40 skintone (indian descent)? i'm intrigued, yet kind of wary of the coppery frostiness. any suggestions for how it could work would be welcome.

You can use Thrills with Flurry of Fun to tone down the frostiness. I think Thrills would be fine with a light hand.

I like Weekend cream bronzer.

I think it gives me a nice, healthy glow, not red or sunburn.

I kind of feel the same way about the gold. It looks pretty but i dont think id use the powder as much if it really was that much glitter/shimmer.

I'm glad it works for you. My swatches just turned me off. I am opposed to bronzers, anyway so...

Word up:

If you were waiting to order Marine Life from maccosmetics.com tonight @ Midnight you are out of luck.

The collection went online around 6 pm tonight and Marine Life is sold out.

Everything else is still available. If you want to see the collection use the site map or click over to Temptalia's site. She has a link there.

WOW people were not playing at all with Marine Life. I am sure MAC will be happy when its time to report those month end figures.

I'm getting Hipness because I have nothing like it. It's much more pigmented than Instant Chic which is why I skipped that one. I'm getting Thrills lipstick, and Flurry of Fun lipglass. That's all I think.

Wow... I can't believe that I couldn't even wait for items to get to the store. I ordered Temperature Rising lip pencil (I'll hold off on the pink until I see it in stores) and then I also picked up the Orange Lip Mix to go with it!

I can't wait.

Hey ladies Nordstrom on line has Mac to the beach collection and Marine Life is in stock. Just placed my order. You have to type what you are looking for in the box because the collection isn't showing on the main mac page.

I want to see Hipness and Marine life on NW45/47 or NC50 skin. I just can't imagine them working on darker skin.

I love Google:

Just read that Hipness is a dupe of Milani Mai Tai, off my list it goes.
Saved myself 15 bucks.
