Wow, the people at Seaton must not be too happy. This collection is a direct rip off of their logo and color scheme. (www.seaton.com)Why cant MAC be more original, all they do is rip off other designers. Do they think people are stupid? Well we are not.

I believe the 130 is permanent, 131 is LE.
i love that you let us know which ones are limited edition and which one aren’t,thanks so much!
The packagin of this collection is so cute! I escecially like the “Marine Life Multi-colour pressed powder”! That is gorgious
Would the lustre drop be the same as the Stobe cream
It’s the same concept, but Lustre Drops are colored!
Hurrah Hurrah MAC 131 brush is back!! I’m def getting the 131 brush, I missed it the first time and maybe the green eyeshadows.
This is my dream collection–the colors, the packaging. I’ll have sweet dreams tonight!
Lustre drops are back yesssss

What are lustre drops???
Liquid highlighters!

Im So excited for this. Im having my graduation party RIGHT before this comes out, like 2 days before so im really thankful that ill have enough money for whatever i want from this collection! Im going to school for makeup artistry so i dont feel bad about spenging graduation money on this.

|Thats all i know i really want at the time, but you know how that is… you go to the store and you fall in love with everything! I wish you girls luck!!!
need to have it!!!
This is one collection I can’t brush off. I wish counters sold that bag too instead of just stores, that’s how I missed out on getting the Hello Kitty bag.
Lovely! The designs on the eyeliners and lipliners are to die for! I will definitely be going a bit crazy with this collection. Lol.
I can’t wait to get the Sun Rush lustre drops and that gorgeous dark green turquoise eye kohl!
I was DYING for the sea horse highlight, it was what I was looking most forward to. After reading this post: http://toomuchblush.blogspot.com/2010/03/mac-to-beach-sneak-peek-marine-life.html
Oversprays not cool MAC!!!
I am really sad. Just an overspray!!!! Without the gold sea horse, it looks blah!!! I am not sure if I should get it anymore
I can’t wait!!
omggg i marked the date on my calendar! ahaha
this collection is gorgeous nd i am a complete sucker for the limited edition packaging! (:
I am sooo gonna go broke.
I LOVE ALL OF THEM!
Cannot wait!!!
Wow, I’m such a sucker for cute packaging!
I thought I would be done after Liberty of London!
i really like the two coral eyeshadows, the absolutly amazing
high-light powder with the seahorse, the lipsticks beach bound and lazy day, and my favourite of this collection is the “in the buff” nail laquer!!
Are they bronzing powders not permanent? (Golden, Refined Golden). I hope so, then I can think about them later
I don’t need them for the packaging 
TIA!
They’re both permanent
All of this stuff looks so gorgeous! I am very excited for this collection
I’ve seen the bronzing powder in ‘golden’ and ‘refined golden’ on the MAC UK website under powders, does that mean their perm with just fancy packaging?
LOL my bad, it’s been answered! ^^
Omg!! I wanted lustre drops for the longest, gonna start saving up!!
I’m so glad the Lustre Drops are back! Definitely getting my paws on Sun Rush.
Christine, do you think they’ll ever re-promote the blush Ombres? I really want Ripe Peach, but they cost about $75 online on ebay. -_-
I want it… but I’m not sure I want it that badly lol.
Anyway, love lurking through your site!
No clue, but keep in mind that MAC usually has their collections planned at least a year in advance, so if they do, it won’t be in a couple of months, you know?
Yup, understood.
Oh, well… I’m sure there will be plenty of products to keep my mind off of it in the meantime lol.
pretty colors but ehh.. not fond of the green packaging. It’s not my favorite color.
OMG I have been dying for this collection to come out and the anticipation is killing me! I’m seriously going to break the bank for this one. I just love absolutely EVERYTHING in this collection!
I’ve been wanting to ask you Christine, what are your feelings regarding this collection? What are some of the items your looking forward to?
Thanks! <3
After being a MAC fan for so long, I don’t like to set expectations — I just like to see it in person! That way I’m always excited and never disappointed!
Love this collection! I can’t wait till its out
When will swatches be up??
Most likely the day it launches, sorry!
Float on By Eye Kohl and Marine Life highlight powder are the only ones that I’m interested right now.
And I’m not reeeaallyyy digging the bright green packaging…
I think I’ll only the the Eye Kohl though!
Woah, how is my list SO short?
It’s mine! I want it all!
Beautiful!
Oh dear GOD. I think I’m gonna need a second job. I can’t believe how many beautiful sets MAC has been putting out lately.
Ah, so pretty! I love the bag, the eyeliners and would love to try the lustre drops! I missed out on them last time! The seahorse beauty powder is lovely, but I don’t think I could disturb that overlay. It’s too pretty to use.
OMG!!! I am so excited for this collection to come out!!! I am going to have to pre-order. I am definitely buy 2 of the highlight powder. BEAUTYFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Holy smoke! What a gorgeous collection! Love the packaging too.. oh!! And yay the lustre drops are back!
Right down my alley! *loves*
I really love the packaging for this release.
I have been saving for this collection! I want it alll!!!
i want it all <333 especially that pale peach lipstick, i'm so excited!!
I am in soooo much trouble! I want it all! I am going to have to clear some room in the makeup drawer for this stuff!
This did not do it for me.
I want for sure “Marine Life”…
I would probably like:
The pink lip liner, and probably one of the pink glosses…
I do like the eye kohl colors..
The summer is here!!!
Wow. I think this is the first time in a while that I haven’t wanted a single thing from a MAC collection. Those colors don’t speak to me and wouldn’t likely show well on me.
sooo in love making a list right now!!!
I love this collection. I love the packaging but i’m going for Christine’s review first before i buy any of these.. Love ‘em!
OMG!!!!! I LOVE IT!
what color is the blue eyeshadow?
Shimmermoss
We (UK) get this in May too??? Yippee!!!
The green and the orange packaging look really cheap and tacky to me. The seahorse is beautiful, but means I wouldn’t want to use the product as it would ruin the picture. I need to see swatches before I make up my mind if there’s anything I truly want. I’m very partial to peachy colours at the moment, though.
One thing that bugs me is that when they bring out these limited edition things they don’t also sell the eyeshadow or blush in pro-pan format, which is how I like to buy mine. I don’t want to risk breaking them to de-pot them.
Dawn, I agree with you about the eyeshadows, I would much rather buy the pan form instead. I was told though that pro stores sell them in pan form too (in the UK), however, my nearest pro store is in London which is not too easy to get to for me.
As for the seahorse powder, I’m buying two, one to use, one to look at, lol.
I’m in the UK too, and nowhere near a MAC store or counter, so have to buy all my MAC online. They sell eyeshadows in pan form on both the normal and Pro online sites, but sadly not the limited edition ones.
the seahorse one looks like a chantecaille copy.
The packaging is cute and the colors are so pretty!!
Great for summer in my opinion..
Oooooh the products looks pretty!
Because I have a budget I like to pick out my favourite product! For this collection it’s going to be the Highlight powder! It’s gorgeous!!
That’s a nice collection, but some of the photos are made by me in photoshop when I received the preview on this collection a few months ago.
Sorry, I meant to delete all those photos with the ones from Lushious Beauty — they should be removed now! (Slightly higher res!)
can we use out PRO discount since is special packaging?
I don’t know, sorry! Best to ask your local MAC.
im pretty sure (dont quite me on this though) that you can’t get pro discount on LE packaging. =(
oops i mean “quote”
My poor wallet..I really want a Beachbound, Hipness, Float on By, and Splashing. I love the packaging and this is the first collection I’ve truly been interested in since Style Black! I’m so excited!!!!!
Bronzing Powder “Refined Golden” is a REPROMOTE from Style Warrior Collection
Nice collection! Though I don’t really like the packaging..=s
I am just not excited about this collection. I don’t care for the packaging. It certainly isn’t enough to lure me in, especially since I depot eye shadows and blushes. I already have Hippness, and while I like it, I don’t really feel the need to buy a backup. None of the eye shadows or lip products just seem that special to me. I might change my mind when I see it in person, but right now, I don’t think I will be getting anything from this collection.
This packaging is so beyond awesome!
I love seahorses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wayyy cool I can’t wait til it comes out, I am so getting everything just for the packaging.
OHHHHH SEXY!!!! Can’t wait!
Now I know I’m hungry, ’cause those shells look exactly like pasta to me.
I will be purchasing lots from this collection. I can’t wait.
It’s super cute!
The Body Oil is AMAZING and will sell out really quickly. The cream Bronzers are also amazing with a beautiful bronze color (not ooompa loompa orange) and are not oily at all…so don’t be scared! Get them while you can. This whole collection is gonna fly! Just sayin.
im so bummed that the highlight powder is an overspray. =(
but i will most likely be getting all of the eyeshadows (except humid & shimmermoss) =) the In the Buff nailpolish sounds interesting too.
Urm, it seems like I am the only one that not crazy about the packaging! Pass for me, except the body oil and #131 brush. Do you have that brush Christine? If you do, do you like it?
I have it, I don’t think I use it for anything…
I’ve seen swatches of most the products but I’m not sold. I was really excited at first but not so much anymore….
living on the CA coast makes me lust for this collection
The lip glasses look pretty!
i’m not too into highlight powders or bronzers, but this summer companies everywhere are so tempting me with their gorgeous packaging/ designs! and <3333333 the seahorse!
At first, I had this HUGE list of what I wanted to buy. After looking at it, I removed quite a few things because I realized that just because I thought it was pretty or looked nice doesn’t mean I’m going to wear it. xD
So I’m only going to buy Hipness, Flurry of Fun and Marine Life.
I’m not too sure about the Lustre Drops.
They look pretty, YES… but I already have something similar from Clinique. :\
So I’m on the fence about those.
But it’s overall a cute, summer, beachy collection.
Omg I just went to nordstroms and pre ordered all the blushes the two crem bronzers one bronzer one setting powder I lipstick two lipglosses and both luster drops I’m soooooo excited
I must get the High-Light Powder… just because of its seahorse design!!
OMIGOSH. Gorgeous!! I love the little seahorse highlight powder!!
This is the most excited I’ve ever been for a MAC launch – my list is very long for this collection!!
shocking but this doesn’t really appeal to me. too much like style warriors and neo sci fi.
OMG! must…have…
