This reminded me of someone doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation!

Anyway UD Primer Potion and a Paint Pot worked for me.

i couldnt believe this, i went to mac today to check out the bronzers in person, and this collection has been out for 2 weeks already here and everything was in stock
i got surf the ocean stack, it is so shimmery

 

[DILLIGAF]

OT: I forgot to add that Norstroms.com is having its buy 2 mascaras get a third one free promo today. I got three diorshows. That should last me a long time.

I got 2 Lancome Dramas and Dior Show Blackout. No more mascara for me either!

 

[twilightessence]

Thanks for the advice ladies! I'll have to try the Aqua Creams. I've never tried a sealer before, I'll have to look into it .

 

[RealDoll]

I am loving MY Paradise

cant believe I almost passed it up because I had one similar color...its gorgeous and I dont wnat the over spray to run out !

 

[RayannaBanana]

I kind of like the look of the Bronzer stick in Tan-Tint. Has anyone who is NW15 tried it?

 

[ladyarwen]

OK, this is the LAST look I'm going to post, I promise. I just love this collection so much! Using Surf the Ocean today, with the seafoam on the inner lids, the dark blue on the outter lids, and the goldy bronze on the bottom lashline. (And can I just say about the gold that it is so CREAMY in the pot. I just used my 219 to smush the nuggets, and it is the coolest thing ever.) I have Pink Cult on the cheeks and Hibiscus on the lips. I look so tropical!

 

[banana1234]

honestly i hate the liquid lip balms. they are really runny and goopy and add no colour. you're better off saving your money and buying a lip smacker!

i find the liquid lip balms from previous mac collections taste a bit odd too, not off or unpleasant just not nice tasting like the tendertones or other lip balms i have

IDIOTS, I tell you, IDIOTS I am dealing with!!! I went into my happy dance because my Macys order with Surf the Ocean was downstairs. I open it and it's Summer Stash!!! The invoice says StO but the box and the product inside is SS. I go searching for a Macys CS number for wrong orders, but I had to call the general line. This lady apologizes and says it was a "label mix up". Damn that! I told her these items sell out quickly and I need to know I'm going to get what I want. I swear, Macys is lucky that StO is available at mac.com. I went ahead and ordered it there. She asked if I wanted to exchange. Um, hell no. I am returning this at a Macys and I want my shipping fee back! Yes, my shipping fee was returned to me. The thing that pisses me off is that I have to go to a Macys that sells Mac. That means I either have to go to NY or get a ride to a Macys that is out of my way. What a crock of shit. I already hated Macys and now this is the final straw. I'm not even interested in playing with these things. These colors are not appealing to me AT ALL.

I'm loving all the looks you ladies are posting. I have a feeling I'm going to end up buying EVERYTHING.

My MAC appointment is today, but I was impatient and picked up a few things on Thursday. A pleasant surprise for me was the Mocha lipstick! I may end up getting both pigment stacks too...depends what kind of magic the MA does on me.

Girl, the same thing happened to me! I ordered STO, but got SS intead. Something ALWAYS happens with Macys I swear.



And thank you to all you ladies who complimented my look <3! I knew I would love surf usa, but had no idea I would love swell baby as well! So glad I got it!

 

[Piarpreet]

thanx for the empathy girls....



aww man i would be so tight... so wait your're not getting your stuff even though it was backordered?
i dont understand. like someone mentioned before (i think shontay) mac should make things limited for a time period not by quantity. sheesh!!



*******^^ no i'm not getting my stuff... and that hibiscus has been in backorder since that monday i ordered it in. I dont think they will actually send them out at all. Thye are just fooling us and keeping us hyped up. My bank account says pending still.

 

[mtrimier]

I asked what was going on with my backorder and it's going to be shipped next week(after the holiday), so hopefully you'll get yours too!

 

[Babylard]

omg the scariest thing happened to me. I was parking at TD bank and I got so dizzy and lightheaded. I didn't know what I was doing and went over the bump and into the wooden fence
I feel terrible since it was my bf's car. there isn't any major damage except some fine lines and dirty scaffs, but the whole thing really shook me up and now I am so afraid to get behind the wheel again. why am I always so close to death? Q___Q I'm lucky this didn't happen while I was going 50 on normal roads. I was only trying to pay off my bill and grab some money for surf baby I feel terrible.......! I told him right away about it and he was very forgiving about it. My sister also told me that she would drive me if I was not feeling well. I recovered from heart failure 3 years back (I wrote about it on Specktra back then when I thought I was going to die). It is like I am doomed in life and I am only 23... sorry for being off topic..

anyway, I got to the mall and back home safely and got:
surf USA
hibiscus
my paradise - so pretty, I had to have it even though I never touched marine life. at least I can use the edge and keep the print intact since it is so thick.
careblend powder medium - I wear NC 20 but these run pretty light
prep n prime lash (HG!!)
a bunch of foundation samples from sephora (mufe face and body, mufe matte velvet, nars sheer glow) and that new "ultimate dual exfoliating face brush"
I also bought 4 pairs of shorts from sirens (buy 1 get 1 free)

I still want strange potion and short shorts... but surf USA is lovely. it does remind me of newly minted! I love vegas volt, exibitionist, ever hip, etc so I really love hibiscus. I already have perenial high style and pink lemonade, so do I still need strange potion (I skipped disney - don't shoot me)? Swell baby is really nice but so very similar to bough grey. I love greys.. but it is so redundant.

 

[mtrimier]

Oh no Babylard! Glad you weren't hurt and are okay! take it easy lady and enjoy your goodies!

 

[EngineerBarbie]

I was so in love with how my skin looked yesterday that I broke down and bought Saffron and Surf Baby! Careblend bronzing powder.

*Now* I am officially done with Surf Baby!

 

[internetchick]

I was so sure I would get the pigment stacks, but now I don't know! Are they must have?

 

[QueenofSpades81]

I asked what was going on with my backorder and it's going to be shipped next week(after the holiday), so hopefully you'll get yours too!

Sweet! I'm gonna call and see what's up with my blush.
