This is the last of the three parts of MAC To The Beach reviews. The inspirational looks will be added later on today. So please check back for them.
EYE KOHLS
These eye kohls are seriously highly pigmented with intense color. They go on smoothly without any pulling or dragging of the skin. Float On By is a dark green turquoise that is a perfect color to wear at the beach. Use it to line your eyes or smudge it all over your lids for a dramatic pop of color.

Rosemary & Thyme is a mid-tone olive gold with shimmer. This is my favorite of the two eye kohls. It's a perfect color for my golden olive skin and looks great with Sand & Sun and Firecracker eye shadows, both from this collection. This would also look great when worn with bronze and gold eye shadows too.
EYE SHADOWS
Sand & Sun is a light peach in the matte finish. I love this eye shadow! It's a pretty shade of peach and would look great on most if not all skin tones. Even though matte eyeshadows are flat, they can give you the best true color payoff. The color is buildable and the texture is so creamy. It's is a perfect color to wear with green and brown eye shadows.
Firecracker is a frosted mid-tone red orange in the veluxe pearl finish. This color looked a little garish to me at first, but after seeing it on my eye lids, my opinion of it totally changed. On my skin it looks more like a peachy orange. When paired with HUMID, it looks awesome! The only negative I find is that it's not terribly pigmented. However, if you use a base, the color becomes a bit more vivid.
Humid is an intense green with shimmer in the frost finish. This green works well with the other two shadows that I mentioned above. It also works great with gold and brown eye shadows.


High-Light Powder
Marine Life is a multicolour pressed powder that is stamped with a sea horse motif. It's so pretty that I just couldn't bring myself to swipe it for a swatch. Sorry!:( I honestly do not think it would show up well on my skin anyway. When I get enough courage to use it, I will definitely post a picture. Possibly next week.



This is what we used to create this inspirational look:

Omg wow I really like your photo! It looks so much like the campaign one! I actually like yours better. I'm so excited to get my stuff from To the Beach. I just ordered online everything I wanted, except Marine Life :( which was sold out! Im hoping my local store has it :)
Thanks Alyx. I hope you love the products as much as I do. I figured Marine Life would sell out fast. It's just too darn pretty to use! :)
