WOC: MAC To The Beach

[bobbiedoll03]

So after much anxiety about what to get I picked up:

Marine Life

Thrills
and Firecracker

I was thinking about going back to get the bronzing oil..but thanks to the thread I have officially found a new use for my Gold Deposit that just sits in my case.

I also want to go back and get splashing. For those that have it...how does it compare to other MAC pink lipglosses like Pink Poodle?

I am so sad! I missed out on Marine Life. I called ever MAC in Chicago and the suburbs and they were all out. I had an appt. on Thursday to see my friend Emily at the Mac on Oak Street and then I rescheduled. Just my luck. So I went to MAC today and got Easy Lounger and Sweet & Punchy eyeshadow. I already own Humid and Shimmermoss. Wasn't too impressed with everything else. Please let me know if any one of you girls who nabbed 2 Marine Life Powders wants to sell.

Are there any youtube haul/review videos done by women between nc40-45? I tried searching but the majority is done by women with lighter skin.

There are a few members in the sales forum (I think marusia & vixen)that are selling marine life at cost plus tax and shipping.

my MAC counters were all sold out of Hipness and Marine Life, luckily there are sellers on here who are offering them at cost so i'm not being price gouged. can't wait till the end of the week to try out my goodies!

i still think i want the bronzing oil, haha.

I bought one from one of out fellow specktralites. What an angel! Thanks so much.

I took the lipglass back. Toooooo much glitter and I hate glitter on the lips. I got Firecracker instead. So as of today, I have Sweet & Punchy, Firecracker, Humid (already had), shimmermoss (already had), and Marine Life (coming this week). I love the eyeshadows. I've already created some looks. I used rubenesque paint pot and fresco rose paint pot. Love the colors soooo much. The lipsticks and glosses are a pass in my opinion.

I was just thinking of what makeup to do for work tomorrow. I think I'm going to do my Nars Rated R duo. It fits in perfectly with this collection. I'll wear Marine Life (of course. I've been wearing it every day I've worn makeup since buying it!) and maybe Flurry of Fun for the first time outside (love,love,love that gloss).

 

[lovely333]

I love fof it looks beautifu on top of thrills, my chanel genial and even alone. I will be buying another!

 

[shontay07108]

So I went back to Mac today and I played with To the Beach again. I have to say, Sand and Sun is really pretty! I had no problem with swatching it. This is coming from a girl who loves and has had no problems with Violet Trance. I didn't buy it b/c I have similar MUFE colors, in a different finish. If, in a few weeks, it's still there then I may buy it.

Just wanna say, I bought Fleur Power after seeing it in a youtube video. WHY didn't I know about this thing earlier???

Okay, calling all cocoa ladies - Opinions on Hipness? I'm NW45, sometimes NC50. Is it a yay or nay? I completely forgot to even look at it the last time I was at the MAC counter.

Ameritrini did one using sweet & punchy, float on by and shimmermoss.

 

[Notorious19]

Anybody in the NW45-50 range have Beachbound? If so, how are you wearing it? I'm having a bit of trouble with it and comtemplating its return.

 

[michelle79]

Have any of you all used the Bronzing Body Oil? I've been eyeing it but it seems like it would be more beneficial for fairer skin tones, not really WOC friendly.

ETA: I see some people gave opinions on it already, I would like to hear some more.

Definitely a 'yay!

 

[IvyTrini]

I'm NW45 and the Bronze Body Oil is amazing!!!!!!! I have not bought it, but swatched it and it gives a subtle glow in sunlight. It's not chunky but it does enhance our skin colour.

As for blush, I really like Hipness. I'm on this coral/peach blush kick and I am thinking of getting it. It's beautiful. I'll see if I could post swatches soon.
