Hey Christine, you didn't do a review of the pigment stacks what do you think about them? I'd love your opinion because so far this is my favorite of the collection.

just wanted to let you know that this person is using ur pictures.. [link hidden]

can you pre order these products online?

I can't wait for this collection!!!

For those pro members you can use you discount.

Eh. It looks cheap and all the collections look the same every summer. MAC is slippin!I only like the teal nailpolish...

Ok. I think the collection looks fun and I will get some pieces. But the photo of the Blonde Surfer Girl with the two boys. Her make up makes her look cross-eyed with the lighting in the shot. That or she has fake eye balls or something. I just looks wrong. Other than than beautiful photo.

i have a question, in the pictures there is what apears to be 2 sticks of cream blush, am i correct? because the colors look amazing.

They chose not to release them.

Hi christine! :) (& beauty loves) based on ur past expierence and/or product description, is solar riche too dark or orange for light (nc20) skintones? Please answer me. thank u <3

Surf Baby will be out tomorrow. A MUA sold me today Hibiscus lipstick. this lippie is GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSS... As I spent a loooooot of money (and my Credit Card hates me a lot), she sold me today rather than tomorrow. Now I am planning to buy blue noon, gilded white (I don't know for gilded white), saffron and maybe a nail lacquer... Ah if I were rich, I'd lippie in burst out and Crushed Metallic Pigment Stacks, and Billinoaire Bronze.... :cry: but anyway, I've my lovely hibiscus, and that's enough… for today…

Out tomorrow???? in the US or Canada???

I ordered: The blush with the overspray, purely because I think it'll sell out/get hyped and I don't wanna find myself suddenly lusting after *another* sold out item, haha. If I don't like it I'll just sell it. The teal eyeshadow, because I'm a sucker for teals and I heard some good things about it. The coral and violet lippies, because I just really liked the look of them :)

Argh! this has been launched on the UK mac website TODAY! what am I supposed to do without your reccomendations first?! Didn't think it was supposed to be released until later this month! Ah well, definitely going to make a few purchases.

Hey Christine, I remember the VV Collection was released on the MAC Pro site quite some time before the official launch. Do you have any idea if this will be the case with the Surf Baby Collection as well??? Thanks! -Laura

Collections launch a week early on the PRO site now!

Sweet!!! THANKS CHRISTINE!!! :)

We already have the Surf Baby collection here in the UK they released it today so excited!!

Tx to my friend at beautyscene.nl A dutch blogger. We now know there will be three collections coming out in July, besides SemiPrecious: Cinematics, Glamglass, & Sized to go. Can't wait for more information & see Christine's swatches. :-)

Surf Baby is now on the UK Website.

I just found out that this collection will be launched on May the 5th in Germany. And there are so many interesting products. Christine do you know if the suntints lip balms are good?

They're just really sheer lip balm. It's not something I reach for.

Have my wishlist for Fashionflower and surf baby has just turned up online! (UK by the way) There are a few too many things I want for this to pop up a little early! Is Fashionflower bwing released in Europe?

I cant wait for this collection to come out. Im saving money asap!!!!

Not too crazy about this one. I deffinately preferred To the Beach last year. It was so bright and colorful. This is so... muted. MAC needs to put out more limited edition MSFs!!!

I just found out that the Surf Baby Collection will come out next Monay (2. Mai) here in Switzerland. The funny thing is, that Flightly will not be released until June and Fashion Flower until July. I don't understand what MAC is doing here.

ugly packaging again... Why can't MAC make atleast a little respectable packaging for once?

I live at the beach on the weekends and have been looking for a lip product that has at least 20 spf and looks pretty. I am tired of the sunscreen sticks that are like chapstick. MAC answered my prayers with 20spf on their new lip balms. I will buy them all!!! Thank you MAC!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HOW YOU SPEND TIME TO DO THIS. Thanks to you I know all the mac collections that come out. I'm subbed on youtube & have this as a tab! I appreciate it <3

What are the Studio Careblend Pressed Powders for? Maybe should they be used as a bronzing powder?

do you have any idea how long the lie will be available for?

A few weeks or until products sell out.

There are so many comments on this site begging for more LE packaging on MAC products, and then when it happens, there's nothing but bitching. Hilarious. And calling the model in the promo pics "ugly"? Stay classy, folks.

Some of the colors seem darker than I expected for a beachy summer collection but I'm still so excited to see swatches, does anyone know what these shimmer sticks are? they look like the nars multiples maybe

I just HAVE to buy Saffron eyeshadow again! It makes the most beautiful blush.

Why have the prices gone up?

i think the girl is actully really pretty :)

I like the colours etc but I don't really like the packaging =/

god, this collection looks gorgeous. can't wait for the my paradise blush, and those lip sun tints...but i gotta agree, the model looks terrifying.

OMG the color are beautiful and interesting ...Im so looking foward to this collection... the models look scary MAC should Defenately consider that does models dont work out ^_^.

Awww there's only 1 blush:( Oh well My Paradise better be great and satisfy my blush cravings

bronzing sticks look so fun :D

I am liking Bust out and not really impressed with the other stuff.. Just one question -- what is up with MAC coming out with a new collection every week?!

hey! is the sun-tint full-of-grace the same as the old one? cheers! :> looks like an amazingly sunny collection!

why are the prices increased?

i died and went to heaven

are there two cream blushes right to the left of the coral blush in the last picture??!??!?!?!

this is great! i really like how they went far out with the packaging! im really excited to see what the suntints will be like, so many new things!
