Thanks girl for the link! SS looks incredible!!! This haul will be big for me because I dig the EDES formula, but I don't feel too bad because I skipped PS blushes and will skip Maleficient also. Haven't bought from MAC since Riri Viva Glam came out I think?? Hahaha all this Low Buy TalkSee you over there girl!

I agree with every word

hey all, Specktra newbie here!
thanks so much to all the ladies who have been posting swatches - very helpful!
sorry in advance as due to buying a fair amount of goodies from this collection, my next few posts will be quite image-heavy. but hopefully they'll help you decide what and what not to go for. to throw in for reference, i'm NC40.
first up: the full haul, ED bronzer in Aphrodite's Shell and ED Blushers in Seduced at Sea and Sea Me Hear Me
clockwise from top left: ED Bronzer in AS, Nail Laquer in Submerged, Lipglass in Modern Lure, Lipsticks in GotS and Mystical, ED Blushers in SMHM and SaS
l to r: SMHM, SaS, AS - swatched a few times with brush as they weren't showing up at first!
swatches with flash - you can barely see AS!
wearing AS on lower cheek and jawline, SaS on cheek
wearing AS on lower cheek and jawline, SMHM on cheek
it's a shame AS wasn't even that noticable, however it does give a nice subtle shimmer - perfect for work or if you want something more natural with a hint of colour. however i love both blushes! my first experience of using ED products (bear in mind i only got into MAC sometime last year!!).
will post Submerged and lippies in next posts.

for all of you that are team depot compact-
are the bronzers the same size as the pro blush pans?
i don't have any bronzers from mac, and i only have one 'regular' blush, so i have no idea.
someone i know has 'i will either find a way or make one' tattooed in latin, and i keep thinking of this as i read about depotting the compact and how we can make pmp work

Nail Laquer in Submerged:
although at times it's a little tricky to see the purple in different colours, it's a beautiful dark teal and reminds me of a frosty, pearlised version of Formidable!
curious about the other colours though - anyone picked up Neptune?
lippies to follow last!

Modern Lure - check out that sexy pink shimmer:
in normal daylight - the photo seriously doesn't show how rich and plummy the colour is, no matter how much i tried to adjust my cameraphone's settings to accurately depict the colour
:
close-up with flash :
this is a beautifully deep, rich colour that is awesome for vampy looks. gonna post a pic of what it looks like with GotS underneath
