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! Nat

Very nice haul! You didn't snatch up that Float On By kohl pencil? That thing is so pretty I feel I might need a backup and I haven't even worn the first one yet. LOL!

Ladies, If you got your Pretty Paws on Marine Life and if you have Dolly Mix please try the two together! Its love I promise! Ever since I tried it this is the way that I have been wearing it. Let me know if you love or if its just me

FLIRT! has tons of MAC dupes.

I picked up Pink Tutu Sunday. I don't think it's a Marine Life dupe, but I got it anyway because it is pretty. It's more like a pinker version of Orgasm (on me at least because with Orgasm I get more gold sheen and less pink color, but with this I can see the pink) and the texture is nice.

No, I didn't get Float on By. And if I wanted one its too late since it is sold out at every MAC counter I've been to.

I don't have that many eye pencils from MAC. I prefer using shadows as liners. Since this collection was released Humid, Shimmermoss and Deep Truth have been getting a work out!

There really are no dupes for Marine Life

signed: a collector of coral and orange blush

This is my same exact plan. I don't think I've ever spent this much $$ one 1 collection alone.

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to splurge on Beachbound and Flurry of Fun. For some reason lippies always look good at the store but when I get them home it's a whole nother story. Think I'll take Beachbound back because it did nothing for my NC45 complexion. And although FOF is a unique lipglass it's kinda hard to find a lipstick to wear underneath. I'll have to debate keeping this one also.

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...

Burnt Pepper and Full Fuchsia makes a VERY pretty and very pigmented dark coral. OMG. When I tried t yesterday I was in love.

Get Away Bronze Blush makes an awesome brow highlight on WOC as well. Has anyone tried that?

I only purchased Thrills lipstick and Sweet and Punchy eyeshadow from this collection.

Thrills is sooooo pretty! The goldish shimmer in it makes my lips totally dimensional (if you can imagine that haha), and it just makes my lips pop. It's a brick-red with some gold shimmer, and it's just like dipping your toes into red lipstick territory without all the craziness of O or Russian Red.

And Sweet and Punchy is SO GORGEOUS. It's a veluxe pearl (FAAAAVE FINISH, HELLO!), and wearing this on the lid with a darker colour (Mulch or Copperplate, or anything, honestly) makes such a beautiful summer look!

^^^ yes sweet and punchy with mulch is HOT!

I'm NC45 also and I love Flurry of Fun. I can put it over almost anything. Corals and pinks look especially great with it.
I skipped Beachbound because I have Sunsational and I don't wear it that much. It pretty much gives the same effect.

I don't have Bunt Pepper but I want it. Hopefully a Pro Store still has it in pot form...

My CCO near Chicago in Aurora, IL has about 15-20 Burnt Pepper blushes in pot form so you may want to check your CCO too

I tried FOF over Ruby Woo and it looks awesome! I'm gonna try to get my hands on Thrills(hopefully) and try it with that.

Tried FOF over MAC red and it looks nice also. Loved the way the glitter changes your l/s color. I'll have to purchase a coral l/s next to try it with.
