MAC Lipsticks: Thrills, Fun Bathing, Beachbound, Lazy Day
MAC To the Beach Collection — Lipstick Reviews, Photos, Swatches
MAC’s To the Beach Collection features four limited edition lipsticks from champagne-gold to deep berry, with each retailing for $14.
- Beachbound is a really sheer golden-champagne shade. It has a glaze finish, and it gives more shimmer than color. It does seem to mute my natural lip color a bit. For me, this is a shade best paired with stronger, more intense shades of lipgloss.
- Thrills is a stunning combination of red-rose and amber-bronze shimmer/frost. It’s a shade you just don’t see often. The only shade that comes close is nearly three times the price–La Prairie’s Rose Bronze (but that’s much pinker, rosier; same effect, but the base color is stronger). This originally launched with Rushmetal, way back in 2007. I don’t even have to see anything else from To the Beach to tell you this is a must-have from it, though. It’s AMAZING!
- Lazy Day is a milky cool-toned pink. It reminds me a bit of Angel. I feel like this color is something I’ve seen many times before. I like that it’s pretty pigmented, though.
- Fun Bathing is a reddened raspberry wine with a metallic bronze shimmer and sheen. Super pretty! It has the same feel and look as Thrills. It’s similar to ‘O’ but lacks that really metallic bronze pop–it’s kind of there in ‘O’ but not as much. This seems lighter, too.

I love your site! It has been so helpful with my online makeup purchases!
Thanks, Stefani!
Grrr...I'm so mad I missed this collection. Thrills is super pretty and Funbathing would be gorge for a night out look during the summer. I hope funbathing gets re-released soon.
Does mac still sell lazy day? did u use a lipline with the lazy day? What was it? Thanks
No, they don't - and I didn't use a lip liner!
I bought thrills, and Im not a huge fan of it by itself, but I love it with a lipglass over it.
Is thrills similar to CB96 or Ramblin' rose. Please advise as I m in love with thrills. Also, plz suggest if there is another similar shade in MAC or other brand.
Sorry for the late comment, but some products of this collection are still available online and I'm hesitating! Lazy day looks really good on you but I'm wondering i it would work with very pigmmented lips? I fair skin (NW20) but dark reddish lips (mac laugh a lot comes close to my lips), do you think it'd show? The Lady Gaga one was a bummer, it settles into my lines and looks terrible. Thank you for your help! I never buy anything from Mac before looking at your swatches and seeking your advice! :) <3 <3
I think it's just going to lightened your lips a lot, but it's not going to be the same as it looks in the tube!
Thank you for your asnwer! :)
Do you think Lazy Day would suit an NC37 skintone? <3
I think it could :)
Hi Christine, is lazy day with splashing same as speed dial? Which is better lazy day or speed dial? I am NC25/NC30 with pigmented lips.
Kind of, but it's still a little cooler, I'd say. Either one would work for you - you may like Lazy Day for a more muted pink.
Thanks.
I hardly ever wear lipstick, I usually go the gloss route, but I own two lipsticks from mac. The gaga one, and beachbound. I love beach bound so much, though it looks a little more orange on my lips, I pair it with flurry of fun for a bit more pop and I absolutely love it.
they all look so gorgeous. its kind of a lot of money to get the whole mac collection but i really want all of them sooo nice :)
Thrills is absolutely gorgeous and stunning! It's a brightened reddish coral on my lips and looks even more delicious with flurry of fun! Although, too much flurry might end up looking too bright on the lips, but a subtle shine definitely enhances the look. Beachbound is horrible! There is hardly any pigmentation! Funbathing was not a color i would ever reach for and lazy day is too blah for my liking. I didn't like thrills when swatched online and i don't like frosts lipstick but in person, the color was wonderful and complimented my coloring too well for me to pass up.
Wow, Thrills look like you have a beautiful sunset in front of you in a paradise beach! Sooooo pretty
Thanks, Jinny!
Hi Christine is Thrills similar to rambling rose lipstick from MAC?
Hi Christine! They look lovely on you. I'm really interested in Lazy Day--how does it compare to creme cup? Thanks.
It's pretty close - probably more yellow based.
Hi Christine ! I'm new at commenting but I've been following Temptalia for awhile now and i love it ! I was just wondering since i have the hello kitty pink fish tlc should i skip on the lazy day lipstick as i thought they looked similar. Also would thrills look nice on fair skin, i'm on the fence about such a vibrant darker color, i tend to go for neutral colors
They are kind of similar - if you don't think you'd wear Lazy Day a lot, you could definitely skip. I think it would! Funbathing would also look great against paler skin.
Hi Christine, How similar is Thrills to Coral-Coordinate from the Textures collection, if you are familiar with that at all? TIA :)
I'd say it's a lot more copper/metallic.
I just placed my order for Lazy Day. Way to love from A Rose Romance is my all time favourite pink..I'm a neutral nc or nw20 (i can use either depending on what area) so I'm really hoping this works out!!! I also ordered Hipness and the pink lustre drops. Here's hoping!!
How similar is Lazy Day to Viva Glam Gaga?
Like the pinker, more wearable version, I suppose. Closer to Angel!
Does Lazy Day is comparable to Angel Lipstick>
It's very similar, more opaque and not as cool.
I'm DEFINITELY getting Thrills lipstick! I'm obsessed with orange and coral right now!
how does lazy day compare to a rose romance l/s from last year?
Paler, cooler.
Is Beachbound similar to Not So Innocent from Fafi? Thanks!
More melon-y!
A mixture of Beachbound & Lazy Day will do for me! Sometimes mixing two colors can be more vibrant! Also, the two colors look perfect for the summer!
definitely going for the Thrills and BeachBound! they are both so gorgeous! love the deep thrills color, and i love the natural color of beachbound :D
I am dying to get beach bound and easy lounger.. I wonder how lazy day and flurry of fun will look together :)
Thanks so much for the swatches :) none of the lipsticks are anything I'd really wear except lazy day... do you think lazy day is similar to hue? hue is my favorite lipstick by mac....but either way I'm getting lazy day :)
Hmm, more like Angel, I'd say.
Just wanted to say these all look gorgeous on you, especially Thrills. I might end up picking that up, :)
Thank you, Liz!
i want beachbound and lazy day so badly~ they look so pretty on ur lips!
Fun Bathing looks gorg on u
Thanks, Chibu!
Thrills!!!!!!!!!!!! a must have. So pretty
fun bathing looks the best on you--really great for your skintone!
