U.S. Launch Date: May 27th, 2010
International Launch Date: May 2010 (Asia: June 2010)
There is fun in the sun, to be sure, but to the beach is more of a sensual state of mind – a pleasure we all feel near the sea. The girl and boy from Ipanema, from Cap D’Antibes to West Palm Beach…All around the world, the seaside has a romance, and a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we’re all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it, with a new, lapping-wave Lip-Pencil and High-Light Powder in coral shades, Nail Lacquer – A Scorcher! – Eye Shadow, Kohl, and Powder Blush to get away from it all effortlessly. Sandbags, seashells, the magic of marine life decorating packaging in the most soothing sultry shades of summertime. Close your eyes, and go To The Beach!
The face must be protected at all times! But we have ways to bronze and beautify…fake it, but get colour that looks sun-kissed! A safe way to evoke the golden glow of a glorious walk on the beach, the magical moodiness of sunsets all over the world, colours shifting from glowing gold to glorious bronze to sundown brown. The Chic Glamour of faraway places, a ticket to paradise inspired by the dream of a life lived sur la mer. Bronzing Powder, Cream Bronzer, Lustre Drops, Bronze Body Oil, and our stylish City-To-Seaside to the beach bags…wherever you are, see you at the beach!

Ellie
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Um. It’s safe to say that I want everything…
Marcela
Tuesday, February 9, 2010OMG the packaging for this collection is absolutely adorable, its beyond perfect, and I thought the packaging for the Liberty to London collection was perfect, but this is too darn cute. I don’t think I want any of the blushes, didn’t like Hipness when it first came out and Get-Away Bronze doesn’t seem to be my kind of blush. But I will definitely be checking out the eyeshadow, the High-light Powder( really excited for that one)the lipstick and lipglass, soooooooooooo excited for this collection!!!!!
Dani S
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I am loving the packaging.
phuong k
Tuesday, February 9, 2010the packaging looks spendid!
Jenni
Tuesday, February 9, 2010i.. just.. died.. X_X
Melly
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I’m kind of indifferent on this collection. I guess the puke green and bright orange doesn’t really appeal to me :( I bought hipness blush from my CCO and it is totally orange on me! ahh. oh well, i’ll still check it out though!
Stacey
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I must get the seahorse decorated items :):)
Danielle Sharkey
Wednesday, February 10, 2010LoL I love seahorses!!! My whole room is beach themed….from teals, blues and greens to tons of sea shells and real sand from the Atlantic City beach lol I only wish the color of the packaging was different! I do like green and orange but with this theme I think a pretty blue and maybe a neutral to represent the sand may have went over better!
April
Wednesday, February 10, 2010As in Atlantic City in North Carolina? I’m from there!
starr
Sunday, April 25, 2010I agree 100% a nice blue/teal and/or tan packaging would have been perfect
Jennifer
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Looks cute…Might have to get one item for the sake of packaging.
Jess
Tuesday, February 9, 2010omg! love the packaging <33
Cathy
Tuesday, February 9, 2010OMG I am IN LOVE with this collection! So perfect for summer (and right now it’s helping take the winter chill off). How is the bronzing oil? Do you think it will come out streaky?
Nicole
Tuesday, February 9, 2010this one I really like … by far the cutest packaging..can’t wait for your review
Belle
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Can’t wait till it comes out!
Zoe
Tuesday, February 9, 2010the packaging is SO PRETTY!
I CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER
also, i have a question….what do you use lustredrops for? do you mix them w. liquid foundation or something?
brandi
Saturday, February 13, 2010you can use them for that.. but mostly people use them as a bronzer.. it only takes a little bit!!!! so they will last FOREVERRRRR!!!
adelinky
Saturday, April 24, 2010I use them to highlight my cheekbones & and also use it after I’ve applied my foundation, I feel like you get a better glow by not mixing it with foundation.
Rosanna
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I love the packaging! I can’t wait for the eyeshadows and lipsticks!
Megan
Tuesday, February 9, 2010OMG I NEED. I’m a pisces and I LOVE ocean stuff! this collection is to die for!

Ashley Avocado
Tuesday, February 9, 2010this collection seems like it was MADE for me! love it, love it, love it! and it’s coming out right after my birthday… PERFECT (:
Ashley
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Brushes and Hipness for me only. MAC needs to get over the Orange packaging! Neo-Sci Fi, Manish, now this? YUCK!
Danielle Sharkey
Wednesday, February 10, 2010lmfao good point! Although Neo will always have a special place in my heart – it was my first LE MAC collection haul!
Diane
Friday, April 23, 2010Not orange… CORAL! =D
There IS a difference….
Amanda Craig
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I want it all…last time I felt that way was Hello Kitty!!!

Amalee
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I’m honestly going to buy this just because of the packaging, Lol. :D
Sixx
Tuesday, February 9, 2010The ad looks so RETRO and I love it. Can’t wait for this one.
Salvinia
Tuesday, February 9, 2010WOW! This is the best packaging I’ve ever seen! I want it all just based on that, haha, but I REALLY want Sweet and Punchy, I am obsessed with green eyeshadow! I’m not loving that peach lipgloss but the other two look very promising. The high-light powder might be nice, too, as long as it’s not too orange on me. I will most likely end up getting things I wouldn’t otherwise based on that wicked packaging…dammit, MAC!
Val♥Temptalia
Monday, May 10, 2010Christine, Maybe you’d know, but I’m wondering how Sweet & Punchy (Bright yellow-green…Veluxe Pearl) will compare to Lucky Green (Frosted midtone lime…Veluxe Pearl). Any thoughts?
Christine
Monday, May 10, 2010I don’t have it, so I can’t say. Sorry!
Mia
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Packaging is soooi cute!!! This and da liberty of London collection will for sure get me bankrupt lol
Tekoa

Pamela C
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Im so happy this launches AFTER I come back from my Cruise! Otherwise id be in bad shape for vaca! Makeup First, Umbrella Drinks later!
amy
Tuesday, February 9, 2010I love the seashells and seahorses motifs on the packaging. I know i want the In the Buff nailpolish and Float on By eye kohl because it is turquoise! The Marine Life Multi-Colour highlight powder is gorgeous!
jo-anne
Tuesday, February 9, 2010oh man, i’m a sucker for LE packaging… looks like MAC’s getting a ton of money out of me this summer.
Debbie
Tuesday, February 9, 2010wow…a collection im actually excited for since hello kitty! green is my favorite color and the packaging looks great. also, hipness repromoted? I love that blush!!
Trisha Mae!
Tuesday, February 9, 2010How funny! I was literally thinking, just the other night, about how MAC had aqua packaging, lavender packaging, orange packaging and pink packaging & was wondering if they would ever do green packaging… & HERE IT IS! :D
Can’t wait! Thanks for the post, Christine!
Tavia

Christy
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Oooh, I want all of it!
Brenda
Tuesday, February 9, 2010The packaging literally took my breath away…. crap, there goes a pay check or two
Carrie
Tuesday, February 9, 2010Oh, wow. I love summer colors and seahorses. This collection is going to be a must for me. MAC is going to destroy my bank account.

Vonvon

Lauraaa
Wednesday, February 10, 2010oooh *-*
I love the packaging!
lucycouture
Wednesday, February 10, 2010amazing! cannot wait. probably best to start saving for this one after my spring forecast haul!! <3
Natasha
Wednesday, February 10, 2010AHHH.

I think I’m gonna get like everything, ahaa (I wish!).
(:
Dana

Megan
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I just stopped breathing! The packaging is sooooooooo beautiful! YES!!!! :)
Andrea
Wednesday, February 10, 2010The e/s sounds awesome! The seahorse design on the powder… MAC is bad for my wallet!
Tracy
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I love this collection!!! I am such a beach person! I have to get the bag!
bart
Wednesday, February 10, 2010mmm.. no Skinsheens (yet :-) , hopefully in a separate collection…
Anitacska
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I’ll get the seahorse powder (or two if I actually want to use it, since I don’t think I’d want to touch and ruin it if I just had one, lol), and the rest I’ll have to see in person. The packaging alone doesn’t excite me too much.
Tess
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I really HATE the packaging, looks cheap.
But i´ll problably buy the sea horse powder, i just wish it wasnt green..
kfm
Wednesday, February 10, 2010As with many summer collections, I don’t see a lot to tempt me here (fair skin/ blue eyes/ black hair- not a really “beachy” combination). Firecracker sounds interesting and I love the Veluxe pearls as a rule. Maybe Marine Life. I have Hipness already and I love it. Might pick up that as a back-up for when mine runs out. Love the packaging.
Brittany
Wednesday, February 10, 2010just in time for my birthday! i am a huge sucker for this packaging! ahhh
Kenzie
Wednesday, February 10, 2010The packaging is soooo cute!!
GretalovesMAC
Wednesday, February 10, 2010LOVE IT!!!!!!! I want EVERYTHING!!!!!! The packaging is divine and I have been unimpressed by MAC lately but this and Liberty of London collections are going to break me!!
Megan
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Wow I wasnt that interested till I saw the packaging..really cute!
ilona
Wednesday, February 10, 2010LOVE IT!!!!
I can’t wait for this collection!!!
Cherie
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Lovely photos!!!
I’m interested in the peach e/s and l/g plut the cheek products and lustre drops (not even sure what that is but they sound fun!!! lol Is anybody able to fill me in???)
LUCINDA
Wednesday, February 10, 2010SO looking forward to this!
Katie
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I will probably buy this entire collection, minus the nail polishes and the tote.
Christina
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Okay I think I just kind of died looking at this. I’ve been kind of on this Fellini kick and I really love that 1960′s-1970′s beach vacation in Italy look… I hope these products are good because I want it all!
Taylor
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Love the packaging. I love this collection. I love the new brush (the flat one). MAC did it again! They have a winner.
Kiera
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Oh god, those lusterdrops are calling my names, as are the orangey lipglass, blushes, and bronzers. AHHH!
Haley
Wednesday, February 10, 2010omg this looks so cute!!! I love the packaging :D Hopefully by the launch my wallet will have recovered from the spring collection :D
Nicole
Wednesday, February 10, 2010hm! cute! I think I might just get the golden bronzing powder..since I’ll be in the market for a bronzer then anyways.
although Im sure when I see swatches, my list will grow!
temptalia=bad for my wallet! ;)
Eve
Wednesday, February 10, 2010The more I look at it, the more I like it
Shannon
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Beautiful!!!!! :)
AA
Wednesday, February 10, 2010OMG!! Must have all of it!!
Em
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I’m sooo excited for this collection! Looks like it will a blush/bronzer and highlight powder haul for me!
alisha
Wednesday, February 10, 2010oh my god.. this is just wow.. i cant wait.
Jessie
Wednesday, February 10, 2010My wallet will love me for this. I only want one of the eyeshadows (since, Christine correct me if I’m wrong. The light green one looks like its like Rated R, Bitter, Pagan, and all those right?) and I have Humid and Shimmermoss.
I DO want some of the lippies and the seahorse powder. And that’s pretty much it!
Sad, really. Even though the outer packaging leaves something to be desired.
Alexis
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Wow – that’s a lot of stuff.
Happy to say I am only interested in Sand&Sun e/s,fun bathing lipstick and the High light powder. Adorable packaging – I am a sucker for Starfishes and SEA HORSES!!
PJ
Wednesday, February 10, 2010MAC has way too many collections coming out! But this one is worth saving for. These pics make me so happy. The packaging is sooooo amazing. I can’t wait to try Hipness and Lustre Drops.
Also, the model in the hat looks a bit like January Jones, no?
eden
Wednesday, February 10, 2010oh my gosh ! :| best thing since hello kitty!!
kristen
Wednesday, February 10, 2010oh my god, this collection is absolutely adorable! i can’t wait! does the beach bag come with products?
dolce aria
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I like the eye colors, but already own similar to most of it. Bronzy skin is not even an ideal I try to fake, so most of this theme goes right over my head. The packaging is adorable though!
Michelle
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Definitely going to have to get those brushes and maybe one lipstick.
Bobbie C.
Wednesday, February 10, 2010O MY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pilar
Wednesday, February 10, 2010MAC just keeps coming out with HUGE collections!!! I love it, but something tells me my wallet doesn’t exactly “Love it”.
leinti nti
Wednesday, February 10, 2010i love the packaging and the tote, which propably i am gonna buy but it seems that mac launches new products every day and it kinda makes me feel stressed.
