OT, though somehow related: I just heard that fleet week was canceled due to Federal budget cuts.

No sexy sailors and marines in their uniforms this year.

Oh well, time to pull out To Catch a Sailor lippie from last year's collection.

That nude one would look good on you! In the tube, it looks like a pinker/peachier Restrict, which I remember you loved. You're not interested in the Dazzle lipsticks? It's a great finish if you love something frosty and metallic and iridescent and sparkly!! I only have three of them from when they were released, but they're awesome! I am definitely getting at least one this time out unless they both look horrible on me (but I think they'll both look great and I'll have to snag the two of 'em).
You had me at a Pinker/peachier Restrict! :love: The only dazzle l/s I have Liquid lurex. Don't wear it that often. The ones from this are just too bronzey/brownish for me. Those kind of colors I don't like on me.

~- good luck trying not to get BU's for my BU's! My daughter has dibs on "Caliente!" if it bears even a whisper of resemblance to MAC's to The Beach collection's FUNBATHING- a harrowingly beautiful reddened raspberry wine with metallic bronze shimmer and sheen- certifiably SWOON territory!

The nail polishes are really poor quality unfortunately... you won't be missing out! Tropical is a little better but more chunky. Even after 3 coats, Scorching Haute was still streaky :S
Thank you for this info!!! This is such a relief, now I can definitely skip. Phew, money saved.

Tropical NP has already sold out on the UK site! Half the collection isn't even up yet. Has that EVER happened before, that a NP is the first thing to sell out?

It's probably not in stock yet. The polish from the Hayley collection was sold out when it first appeared on the dutch site. A couple days later is was available. Similar things happened before.

It was probably showing as sold out from the start. Happens on the german site too. Really frustrating when you're stalking the site and really want one item and then it's not available at all. I remember I had to order Too Chic BP from a store cause it was never available on the site.

I was playing around with the bronzers I have (Soft Sand, Sun Dipped and the Optical Bronzer from AOP), I feel like Soft Sand suits me best colorwise. I know everybody and their momma is raving about Sun Dipped, and while I kinda like the texture, the colour does look a little ''dirty'' one me (and kind of yellow-ish?!). At least that's what it looks like to me. But on the other hand it's less shimmery than SS, which is what I prefer, so I don't know which one I should get a BU of. Or maybe none at all, and I should save my cents to one day buy that pricey Guerlain bronzer that I want. But I don't think I'll ever be ready to spend more than 60€ on a bronzer.
Or just forget about bronzers and get Hot Nights instead, hmmm...I can't seem to forget about that one. I'm secretly hoping we'll see really bad reviews of it, so that I won't be tempted anymore. I was going through my stash, because since the weather is getting warmer I'm moving the majority of it in the basement, and the amount of blushes I have is getting out of control. So I need another one like a hole in my head.
