I just placed my order for Aphrodite's Shell, Soul Serenade, Fathom's Deep and Golden (that compact crept in at the last second!) but unfortunately due to bank holiday shenanigans I won't get it until Wednesday I had hoped to have glorious swatches for all y'all but apparently they will have to wait, and so will I!

Ok, I ran out and had a look. The one thing I knew I wanted was sold out already, so I couldn't get Pet me, Please. But I did check out the rest of the collection. Here are a few swatches.
Photo taken in shade: top of my hand: Aphrodite's Shell Bottom: Goddess of the Sea, Mystical, Pet Me, Please and Siren song.
Photo taken in sunlight: Left side of my hand: Aphrodite's Shell right side: Goddess of the Sea, Mystical, Pet Me, Please and Siren song.
Siren song is really sheer and I was totally going to pass on it before I get to see it in person. It's super sheer but it's very shiny so I though this would be prefect for the beach this summer. I wasn't able to capture how pretty it is. It's very simple, but I really liked it for it's effortless-ness.
Aphrodite's Shell has the ability to be very sheer for us pale girls. For these swatches I went back a second time to pick up more product so that it would really show in swatches, and I am very fair skinned. I wear an NW10 and NC15 mixed together. This bronzer also has a bit of shimmer to it...well not shimmer. It's just not matte. It has a soft sheen that will give a bit more of a dewy look. It's really subtle and very pretty. I didn't plan on buying any of the bronzers, but this one is really pretty.
Both blushes were very pretty, but they are both so similar looking I don't know that you would need both. I passed on them just because they are not the sort of color I tend to go for in a blush, but they were pretty and I think those who go for berry or rosy tones will love these.

Glad you went to the store early. There will (or shall I say "there were"?!) be very limited quantities in store and online stores did not have all the goodies. The lion share went to the MAC online store for AA. They did an awesome job this time including a super fast delivery.

I think I'm going to wait for the US online release and try to order it. It will save me from having to pay in Euro.

It is all part of the "snark" package and we love you for that!I had a friend ask me why my makeup doesn't crease, and why i don't have smile lines, even when i smile, and my mom overheard her and said "it's because you don't smile!"

I just got my Seduced at Sea as well and I compared it to Nars Douceur, which looked almost identical to me. I really like Douceur, but I don't know, if I should send sas back now.I was in the mac-store two hours after opening. I got everything I wanted
