Video Review! She's a deeper medium skintone. She did swatches of the ED Bronzers and Blushes, and Enchanted One and Mystical. I've been subscribed to Shahleena for awhile and saw this pop up in my subscriptions. Hope it helps!

I don't know if I want Aphrodite's Shell now. It hardly shows up. But I will definitely be getting Refined Golden. The blushes are still a skip.
I;ve been following Shaleena for years it seems. I love her enthusiasm for all things make up!

Same, I really like her! She's bubbly and doesn't take herself too seriously. Plus, her reviews are helpful and she's not afraid of color

My list is going up and down. At this point, I'm just gonna get some of the perm items that have been on my list forever, when I order my 4-5 items from this collection. I'd still love to see a review on the powder brush, though.

Can I join the swatch party? Wearing GotS, Sea Me, Hear Me & Golden (quite lightly). I LOVE the blush! It is such a gorgeous shade. I like GotS too but think I need a Lipliner to pull it off - any suggestions as to which shade? :)
Thanks ladies! I need these lipsticks. They look incredible on you both!

Mine really hasn't changed. I know I wont be getting either of the normal bronzers and I would like to swatch the ED bronzers. As it stands I will most likely be getting a few EDES and 2 lipsticks.

I won't be anywhere near a MAC store/counter when this launches so I'm glad so many swatches are coming out. I would have liked to swatch the ED bronzers, too, but so far they're not doing it for me. Aphrodite's shell is looking a little too ashy pink, for me. And Delphic seems nice, but Refined Golden is more pigmented, cheaper, and comes in the compact so I gotta go with that one lol. The EDES are so pretty but I can't afford em. Plus, I never use single shadows, they just sit in my drawer, collecting dust.

My package arrived today. Goddess of the Sea is absolutely gorgeous. I was wondering whether it would be similar to last summer's Feel My Pulse, but they're completely different. For once, I feel that the promo pictures for GotS are reasonably accurate.

Girl at least you know your limitations. Wish I had similar resolve. I'm not a big bronzer user so that's why I'm skipping those and using that money on the EDES lol

I'm not a big bronzer user, either, to be honest lol. I only have one, Nars Casino, and I've been using it for like 4 years and have barely hit pan. It warms my face up in the summer and compliments all the orange/gold/bronze I wear. But bronzers all really start to look the same to me

I'm like, "Oh, one of these brown powders is darker and one is lighter...ok...guess I'll get the darker one" lol.

I just bought Aphrodite's Shell and Enchanted One. And OMG that packaging is freaking gorgeous, I wish I could marry it. I initially wanted to buy Mystical, but it just seems so boring on me so I bought Enchanted One instead. Aphrodite's Shell is such a beautiful color, it leans somewhat to pink. I will post swatches later, because I look like crap and it's dark in here.
