MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[Mac-Guy]

I know what you mean! I'm super nervous about AA + Osbournes.

March was a non-eventful Mac month and April was a "meh" month for me, personally.
With Proenza I was jolted awake and made aware of my recent slacky-ness (

)...I forgot to check in the morning before going to work! Luckily nothing sold out until way way later in the day

....I was so surprised (and relieved!) that OC was still avail.

Definitely need to prep and train for AA soon!

I don't think AA will be too crazy in North America.

Thinking about silver sun now ugh I need to be talked out of it Asap

Well I wouldn't be good for you Silver Sun is gorg! :eyelove:

The more pictures I see, the more I want!! Very excited.

Me toooo! My list is growling rapidly lol

I ordered it ... should come tomorrow. From what I've seen it looks quite sheer....but beautiful! Will let you know how it is when it arrives so you can talk yourself out of it ... or not

ohhhhh can't wait!

Seduced At Sea, next to Autoerotique from Magnetic Nude. :eyelove:

It looks like it was made for U

Yessss totally agree!

No it doesn't, it's got a nice sheen to it though

you are making this harder for me lol!

 

[VelvetLips]

I meant registered at the counter. I will give it a try

 

[ForeverJenn]

Wearing mystical, swatch taken in natural lighting

That's so beautiful!!! OMG !

 

[Mac-Guy]

I mostly buy lipstick from MAC now; I think they offer great value for the quality provided. Same with a lot of the regular e/s, particularly with $12 pans.

Aside from the fact that I'm drowning in makeup, I just can't be bothered to stalk; not for any brand. Too busy/impatient to enjoy the thrill of the chase now.

I'm really hoping MAC will come out with another Huggables collection; I bought six and have been wearing them non-stop since. Two are already more than half gone.

If you like the formula so much, maybe you can get a few more.

Definitely call them then. Good luck!

The decision becomes more difficult. If it had a shimmer, I would have given up. I'm not sure about the color, but I am tempted to try.

I'd definitely try it, I bought it without seeing swatches and luckily I love it, on me it's one of those shades that adds just a hint of colour and sheen.

 

[awickedshape]

Nooooooooo...Dont bite the bait. Lol... I just may be following in your steps, so we're together on this. Now that I have my Proenza and Playland items I can focus on this collection.

lol I'm trying for just a bronzing powder at least. Hope I don't miss it altogether. Is your list short [@]danisheree[/@]?

I bought all the ones I liked, but someone posted on the Huggables thread that they're supposed to be back this fall. Hope they have a few new shades; I'd definitely indulge.

 

[Corally]

Just ordered Goddess of the Sea and Aphrodite's Shell! Can't wait. :flower:

 

[valkolak]

I wonder how close Water Deities is to Flash of Flesh. If it is close, I can't decide if I don't need it because I have FoF or if I need it because I love FoF. Ugh makeup problems

 

[heirloom94]

They've restocked the UK site and the prices of the lipstick are back to the original price of £16.50

 

[Corally]

Btw, AA went up unexpectedly on the Dutch MAC site as well today. Kinda bummed about it because I still didn't really know what to get. I know I'll love Goddess of the Sea but I'm still a bit iffy about Aphrodite's Shell! I really hope it's a natural/nude or pinkybrown blush on my skin. Wasn't sure about the blushes so I think I'm just gonna skip them!

The blushes are already sold out on the dutch site!:shock:

I know. I had the entire afternoon and evening before placing my order and the blushes were in stock at that time. Not sure how they look but I think I can live without them. :amused:

And I'm hoping that previously released shades will be back as well. I skipped the whole collection and I truly regret that.

 

[erine1881]

How tentative is the May 22nd Release date in the US? Just wondering because I requested that day off from work to look at the collection in person and in case my online order gets messed up lol!

It's 100%.

Part of me wants to skip this entire collection so bad, but the packaging is so beautiful. :eyelove: Since nothing is particularly unique, maybe I should just buy a blush and bronzer so I can eventually reuse the packaging (like when I'm 90 lol). On that note, is there any possible way to reuse a lipstick tube?

I could have sworn Erine told us that if you freeze it, it should come right out. Then, I'm assuming you could put a drop of glue on the end and stick it in. Is this right, ladies?

Yup! But no glue needed.

 

[Purrkitten]

I'd definitely try it, I bought it without seeing swatches and luckily I love it, on me it's one of those shades that adds just a hint of colour and sheen.

I usually opt for cool pinks, berries, fuchsias etc. so I'm a bit scared, as it's not my typical choice.

My lips are quite pigmented, so maybe it will be "my lips but better" shade for me as well.

 

[BrknFlwr85]

Thanks! I can't wait to try it out this week.

It's perfect for an everyday kind of shade when you want a subtle colour to your lips, I wear purples and reds a lot but mystical is a nice change
