Gorgeous creamy opaque coral/red. Pigmented and really wakes up your whole face with a bold punch of color. Love it! My fav MAC lipstick & cremesheens are really the best formula! continued >>

Nice and bright really suits my NW35 skin. I bought 2 back ups I love this lippie so much that my tube is nearly half.
The packaging is so pretty. My fav lippie from the surf baby collection.

Nice Red/orange color it just wasn't as bright as I thought it was going to be. But it's still a gorgeous color to own. I just wouldn't repurchase if they came out with it in a different collection because I don't that it's that unique.

I have no idea why they wouldn't make this a permanent item! This item was clearly the most popular of the Surf Baby collection. I, as many others girls, was looking for the perfect summer coral. This is more of a warm toned red with coral undertones. It was a perfect fit for me!
I have fair/pale warm skin. On my lips, the lipstick looked more red but definitely a warm red. This is the a very wearable red for me. Many reds I've tried tend to be too blue or too neutral for my skin tone but this definitely makes warm toned girls look radiant! I've seen this lip color on a pale, cool toned girl and it still worked for her! The red tones is cut with some coral undertones, thus making it more summery and slightly more wearable in my opinion. (If you play video games and have played LA Noire: this is the color that best suits the lipsticks all the girls wear in the game! lol).
The texture goes on creamy, but dries pretty quickly. Thus, why I always use balm underneath to keep my lipstick from drying out. It does last quite a long time. And while eating, this rubs off less than most MAC lipsticks. The finish can be a little dry unless you put something underneath.
The packaging is a little cheap looking. The white bullet and the flower decals look cheap, imo.
I can't believe this is limited edition! I bought two of these and don't want to think about when they run out! =(

Pretty colour, but not for the faint of heart! I rarely feel appropriate wearing this, and am definitely giving it a rest for the winter. The formula is top notch, creamy, opaque and comfortable to wear. Lovely packaging too.

Good God this color looked HORRIBLE ON ME!!! I know it is a beautiful tomato-y orange and I am sure that it looks fantastic on many a warm toned gal, but on my neutral-cool skin it was god awful. Just wanted to let people know that although this is a spectacular color, not everyone can wear it.

I wish this shade wasn't limited edition because I love it so much. It changes shade depending on the lighting, it can either be coral red, true red, orange red, or even a dark red. It is highly pigmented and goes on smooth. I never use lipliner and it never runs. Also the packaging is just beautiful, and I wish I bought more stuff from the surf baby collection.

I LOVE this shade! It's beautiful and summery, and yummy. I love it.

Gorgeous colour, nice packaging. Only downside - too dry.

Love, love, love this color. I'm NC15 with very pigmented lips for my coloring, but this shows up very well. Depending on the lighting, it can be coral, red, or orange-red, but surprisingly I find all the shades nice, though the coral shade it can be I feel is the most flattering (it appears this way on me in a lot of indoor lighting).
It's not overly drying, as MAC lipsticks can be. When I've used it without lipliner, it hasn't run. It also seems to fade relatively evenly. The packaging, which in pictures I thought would look cheap, is actually pretty nice--the shimmery off white base color keeps it from just looking like a kids toy or something. This is the only lipstick for which I have ever bought a backup.

beautiful coral. not too red & not too orange. perfect. one light swipe instantly brightens your face for daytime. two swipes for night. GORGEOUS. mac counter at nordies ran out so i went to the mac store. i called first, they had 9 left at 10 am, by the time i got off from work and got there, only 2 left. wt? going fast! cute little packing too-surfboard? smells great also... continued >>

Holy Moly! Could this color be any more perfect? My goodness. As others have described the color, quote well - I'm not even going to bother. But what I will add, is this is the most "neutral" bright lipstick I have ever smeared across my mouth. It's stunning, it's head turning, and it seems to work for everyone. I absolutely adore. Love!

Absolutely lovely coral lipstick. Now I am not big on corals but I ran into this beauty on the first day of release and knew I had to have it. I am NW20 with dark brown hair and dark eyes. This stuff instantly brightens my face. It's not an overly warm orange-y coral at all (I know it sounds weird, but it's true) and it's not a muted down cool coral either. It's right there in the middle and without a doubt it'd brighten anyone's look no matter the skin tone!

I knew from the first time I saw the swatches online that I had to have this! However, it sold out so quickly online. This past weekend I stopped by the local MAC counter at Macy's and thought that I would ask and be shut down (I was also looking for Sun Blonde E/S, which was also sold out online), and I got a much welcome surprise they had 2 tubes left and the Sun Blonde E/S!!!! It is a very pigmented coral-orange that goes on smoothly. I'm an NW15, and this color is so beautiful and flattering. I can't imagine this shade would look bad on anyone, very flattering. Definately worth all the hype, and I can understand why it sold out so quickly. If you're fortunate to see this still at your MAC counter, don't hesitate to purchase!

Absolutely love this lipstick. Great summer color and goes with any skin tone.

I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK!!! It is the perfect coral orange color and looks great on any skintone! It's a cream sheen lipstick, which are my favorite, and goes on smooth and creamy. I am a NC50/NW45 for reference. I would purchase a backup if I could. MAC needs to make this permanent!!!

Definitely worth all the hype! I made my Surf Baby order online the first day it came out, and was heartbroken to find that my Hibiscus lipstick wasn't in my parcel when it arrived. It was 'backorder canceled'. =/
I called MAC and they let me know you can order from free-standing stores themselves though, and luckily the MAC in Vancouver had nine left! Soo after going through all these hoops to get it I'm glad to say it was entirely worth it.
I think it's the first true coral lipstick I've owned that isn't too red or too orange. The cremesheen finish is lovely. It isn't moisturizing but it's not drying either. It leaves my lips with the perfect sheen and it's fairly long-lasting.
Super flattering on my NC15 skin. It's very bright and perfect for the summer, people turn heads when I wear this!

I'm nc35-40 with yellow undertones in the summer when I'm tanned. I have black hair and with this lippie, I look like one hot bronze goddess. The shade is bright coral-red on my lips and instantly brightens my face without the need for heavy eye makeup. I just line my eyes with a bronze eyeliner like mac teddy, mac melba on my cheeks or just add bronzer all over and a swipe of this, I'm ready for a night out :)

i love how pigmented this color is, esp since its a creme-sheen finish! its perfect for the summer. i wear this with some mascara and im good to go to the beach! (nc40 for ref)

This is a very pretty lip color. I like the texture, it has a pretty sheen to it. Someone with a light complexion like mine can wear this shade, because it's sheer and not so matte.
