MAC To the Beach Collection — Official Information & Photos
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. Sand-dabs, seashells, the magic of marine life decorating packaging in the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime. Close your eyes, and go to the beach!
What’s on your wish list? What are you most excited for?

Hey I own the marine life but my light pink side is at the bottom. Is it supposed to be like that cause in the picture it's the opposite..
Nope - everyone's is reversed compared to the pic!
when wil this be realease in australia
June?
I hope they launch earlier here in the philippines, i really like the highlight powder and the hipness blush. :)
really cant wait for this im so excited
I’m looking into: Marine Life Golden Bronzing Powder Firecracker Get-Away Bronze blush
Are the bronzing powders (Golden & Refined Golden) from the permanent line?? Please let me know!!
Yep!
the prices for lipstick are not posted above... are they the regular price? Do you know if B2M empties are accepted for this collection?
They're $14. Check with your local store for the B2M policy.
is that 130 brush permanent?
I think it may be now :)
when this collection hit the UK within a day it was sold out across the hole UK is this out in AMERICA yet? and does any1 know if i can purchase it from america n ship to london :(((((((((((( the highlight powder was the ONLY ONLY thing i wanted and before i could even breathe it was sold out
whole****
Not yet :( It was on Bloomingdale's website for under a week, but they removed it.
do you think its possible to ship it from america to london when it comes out via the MAC webisite Christine? Because when i click on the MAC website for america it automatically turns into the UK one :(
As far as I know, you can't :(
What do u recommend in this whole collection
I haven't seen the whole collection, so I can't make any recommendations.
I really love the packaging but I don't really see anything worth buying. Maybe the Float on By eye kohl but besides that I think I'm all set.
man for all the stuff i liked !!!! im gonna go broke !!! not fair mac!!!
The Hipness blush and Splashing gloss are on my wish list for sure. I would have to see the eye shadows in person before purchasing them.
:D I just sold back my books XD and got enough money to cover what I want from this collection... I think... your swatches and opinions always sway me. :P My list: -Thrills l/s -Lazy Day *maybe -Beach Bound *maybe -All lip glosses (at least flurry of fun and one other) -Hipness -Float on by *possibly -Luster drops Sun Rush *maybe -My first bronzer *maybe -Highlight powder *possibly if i can get my hands on it T_T My wallet is crying...
Have so far bought - Highlight powder - Cream Bronzer in Beach Bronze - love love love it - Thrills l/s But am betting will be back for more after your reviews!
I'm so excited for this. I basically skipped over Pret-A-Papier, with the exception of the Coral Crepe paint pot. This collection is beautiful. I'm definitely going for the highlight powder, both brushes, a few shadows, Hipness (blush), and Lazy Day lipstick. Oh, and the lighter of the two cream bronzers. Love it!
I'm making my list now.
If I get EVERYTHING that I want it will set me back $400.00!!! Thank Goodness my Birthday is on the 18th!! I have been good and have not made any MAC purchases lately.
-eyeshadow in sweet & punchy -eye kohl in float on by -hipness blush -bronzing powder in refined golden -highlight powder -131 brush -lipglass in flurry of fun
I am confused as to why the 130 is listed as a Limited Edition item but on the website, it does not indicate that it's a LE brush. This is my list (may change once I see products in person) Float On By pencil Hipness blush Marine Life powder Beach Bronze cream bronzer Sand & Sun eyeshadow Brush 131 If the cream bronzer has a ton of shimmer in it, I probably won't bother purchasing. If Sand & Sun has poor colour pay-off, I won't bother with that either. Really looking forward to this!
Call me a nerd, but I’m planning to take the day off work to go to MAC! Here is my shopping list, which may change once I see the products in person. Eyeshadow in Sand & Sun, Firecracker, Sweet & Punchy and Shimmermoss Lipstick in Thrills and Funbathing Lipglass in Flurry of Fun Lip Pencil in Temperature Rising Eye Kohl in Float On By High-Light Powder Beach Bag Bronze Body Oil
Does anyone know how close Sweet & Punchy will be to Bitter? That's really the only thing that I'm eying from this collection.
Or lucky green for that matter?
Way yellower.
Not at all :)
I got a couple of things and posted swatches! Haul and Swatches: http://blusherine.blogspot.com/2010/05/mac-to-beach-collection.html Hipness applied to the cheeks: http://blusherine.blogspot.com/2010/05/mac-hipness-blush.html Coral blushes comparison swatches: http://blusherine.blogspot.com/2010/05/mac-coral-blushes-comparison.html Viva Glam Gaga vs. Lazy Day: http://blusherine.blogspot.com/2010/05/mac-lustre-lipstick-comparison.html Hope it's helpful! (normally I always check your site Christine, but this time that wasn't possible). I just realized how much of a help your swatches always are!
Luckily the only things i have my eye on: the MSF highlighter Float on By pencil i can pass on rest...
I want the highlight powder and thrills lipstick for sure and possibly the Sun Rush lustre drops, depending on how dark and orange it is. I also want to check out the Funbathing lipstick. :)
The high-light powder and the 130 caught my eye, maybe an eyeliner cause the packaging is so cute. The lipsticks look like neosci-fi though.
I got lustre drops.....so so pretty!!!
Thank You for the pictures Christine ;) I'm wondering if the boxes will have special packaging as well? just curious :-) Thanks!
They are green or orange :)
Must Haves: Hipness blush, Highlight powder Maybe: 131 brush, Lazy Day lipstick, firecraker eyeshadow
I'm from the UK and just got my haul today. Bought some of the eye shadows - Sweet and Punchy is exactly the same as Rated R, which is a bit disappointing - will be returning that one. Also, firecracker is very similar hot hot hot - from the spring collection.
I'm actually excited about this collection.. rarely do I do so with MAC. The colors are right up my alley.. I can't wait to see Sweet & Punchy, I'm always on the look out for a nice green e/s. Well heck, I can't wait to see the whole collection!
Are the bronzers a powder or cream? Your previous post mentions refined golden (which I have) but this post has two different colors... Just wondering!
Both!
WISH LIST: Everything REALISTIC LIST: - Blush in Hipness - Cream Bronzer in Beach Bronze Wait, are they not coming out with Refined Golden and Golden in this collection? :( I see the promo pics for it though!
I'm rellay looking foreward Thrills since seeing the "faux" preview.
I am definately going to pick up all the lip glasses, maybe the pink lipstick, the olive eyeliner and the peach eye shadow. Ouch, that is going to cost me! Better start saving now
