I was invited to attend a Sneak Peek Party for the MAC To The Beach Collection at my local MAC store (Downtown Brooklyn on Montague Street.) The Collection is due to be released here in the US on May 27th. I’ve been patiently waiting to snatch up a few things from To The Beach, so I jumped on the opportunity to get my items early. I met up with my cousin Monique and one of my besties Bree and we headed on over. Upon entry there was some eye candy making necklaces. Of course I had to get a closer look…
Now To The Beach…
I managed to elbow my way in and get a few swatches…
The eyeshadows in this collection are all gorgeous. Firecracker is kind of similar to Hot, Hot, Hot also from Spring Color Forecast. Sweet & Punchy is my favorite. It reminds me of MAC Chartreuse Pigment, just a bit more yellow. Sand & Sun reminds me a bit of MAC Soft Brown eyeshadow. Shimmermoss and Humid are both pretty and from the permanent collection so you can hold out on these, but if you get Sweet & Punchy, you have to get humid as the two are absolutely haute together!

We ran into Arianna from MAC Macy’s Herald Square, 4th floor
OMG her nails were so hotttt!
Bree from I’m So Hollywood and moi enjoying Coconut Ciroc Cocktails …
Another peek at the eye candy on the way out…
Finally, here is what I got…
The Bronze Body Oil was at the top of my wish list. I was nervous when I thought they were running out…
All my brown-skinned beauties you do not want to miss this. It gives such a beautiful glow. In fact, the eye candy (above) had it rubbed all over. Do you see how they are glowing and shining?! You will not catch me on the beach without my bronze body oil… and itsy bitsy bikini of course *wink*
We had a really good time at the event. The staff was a lot of help and so much fun. I was able to get what I went for and much more, so needless to say I am very happy. Overall I am very pleased with the collection and it was worth the wait.
Are you planning on getting anything from MAC To The Beach?

Looks like a good time. I'm adding Marine Life and the Bronze to my list
Looks like I'm not the only one who had fun last night! OMG, your Mac store was crazy crowded!! How did you manage to get swatches?! Once people started to bump into me–I was out! Do you mind if I link your blog for your awesome swatches? The Body Oil may be on my round 2 shopping list. It looks nice on you (and the models), lol!! Great post as usual. 😉
It looked like you had a lot of fun. and picked up some fab products. I am awarding you the stylish blogger award because you are stylish.Pls check it out on my blog
I enjoyed the pictures of the male models… haha I really want to try the Bronze Body Oil and check out the creme bronzers!
I'm glad you did all those swatches. It helps in my decision making. I think I'm going to get the sweet and Punchy, float on by, and the bronzer. I'm loving the eye candy lol
@Jen It was a great time. Nice move! 🙂
@Cheryl The models were fine! lol The bronze body oil is the bees knees. A lot of the MAs were wearing the cream bronzer and it was gorgeous on.
@MochaMishMash It was extremely crowded girl but I still had a ball. It took multiple attempts of elbowing my way through and waiting for products while they were in use to get my swatches. That is why I don't have the entire collection, after a while I quit lol. Of course I don't mind if you link back to me, definitely not a problem. Thanks hon and get that Bronze Body Oil, you will love it!
@Tinuke I surely had fun and I am in love with my new goodies. Thanks for the award, I'm coming to check it out 🙂

Your just feeding my addiction. I have been drooling over this collection, but glad to see it on someone closer to my complexion. Now my list is just getting longer and longer of things I want.
I want the bronze body oil and the marin life highlighter. The rest of the colors are too colorful IMHO! And wow…those guys were…wow….
@1xellus1 Thank you. I was a bit nervous about the pictures as I know they are funny about it sometimes at my MAC counter, but they actually encouraged picture taking! :)@Portia It was so nice meeting you as well. I am definitely looking forward to working with you in the future and will be spreading the word about you guys. I'm following your blog so keep me informed hon.@Empress I think everyone is loving the guys as much as the collection lol.
