MAC To The Beach

It is finally the official release of MAC's To The Beach! I have been seeing pictures of this collection in blogs for the past two weeks and the other week when I was at MAC, the manager was nice enough to pull out the testers of the collection. Seeing the testers only made me go even crazier for the collection, the manager and I spent about ten minutes drooling over everything. This collection is amazing and I am so excited to write about it!

MAC states that "The seaside has a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we're all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it with the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime. A safe way to bronze, beautify, and get colour that looks sun-kissed. Close your eyes, and go To The Beach!"

I love it all and I already know that much of my Most Wanted List will be coming from this collection. And I am not alone in my love of it, several of items are already sold out on the website and it hasn't even hit the stores yet. So what do I love the most from the collection? I must have two of the new shades of the To The Beach Tinted Lipglass, Easy Lounger and Splashing. I love the To The Beach Eye Kohl in Rosemary & Thyme, I am excited to create a whole new eye look with this product. I also must have the To The Beach Eye Shadow in Sand & Sun, I have been obsessed with it ever since seeing it in person at MAC. I have never tried a cream bronzer so I am excited to see how they work. To finish the whole look off, I want the bag to carry with my green bikini.

To The Beach I go!
