I have none from Mac! I've just been using the Anastasia contour kit for a couple of months now lol but I think I will deff be getting AS, thank you!

Wow, you've been able to get your hands on the Anastasia Contour Kit? You must have jumped through a few hoops to get that one! How are you liking it? Is it worth all the hype?

Thank you so much. :kissy:   When you say "the book" are you referring to a MAC employee book?  Thanks again!

Yup

So neither golden or refined golden would be suitable for nw10? ;(

I'm hoping upon hopes that this isn't true. I am nw15* and now I'm worried because I want a compact so bad

*I only got matched once and have never bought anything so unsure if it's accurate

If you're interested in it try to check it out in person if you can. Personally I rather like to find out for myself if something works for me, more often than not a product did work for me even though I read it wouldn't, as well as products not being flattering on me even though they were recommended to me.

For nw10 im guessing Delphic will be orange ? I will probably get 2 Aphrodite's shell instead of one of each then

Agreed, I think I'm skipping both bronzers even though the packaging is gorgeous. If you love, love, love the packaging, I would feel good about buying it for that reason as long as you are upfront with yourself about it. But I don't love either of these bronzers as they are in the perm line (and my bronzer box spilleth over), so both of these are a skip-to-my-doo-dah for me. If they were the pro long wear, I'd be all over them though.

I'm very yellow-toned and didn't like either bronzer when I tried them in store. I also didn't like the Hey Sailor Nude on Board for the same reason. I prefer bronzers with red undertones; I think they look more natural.

I like the compact but I'm not getting it because I know I'll never use what's inside it. I bought a beautiful Guerlain bronzer instead.

Yeah I'm going to try to make it to a store before the release but it's coming up fast!

I know it was touched on before but if I wanted to depot and replace with something else, what kinds of products would fit? I am one of those that really wants this for the packaging and honestly I don't have ANY compacts whatsoever so I really would like one that is this pretty.

I'm definitely buying it for the packaging. I will try Golden, and if I don't like it I can depot it and pop my Soft Sand backup in there, which I really like.

The AA Golden Bronzer is definitly less orange than the regular one, it looked fine on my skin (N1 in F&B). The weird thing is, it isn't correctly pressed. When I swatched mine at home, I left an indentation on the surface, the tester at Douglas was already shattered. The blushes and ED bronzers were too warm for my taste.

I had a suspicion there was something off since I saw the two shattered ones on IG. Now I really hope mine arrives in one piece! Definitely doesn't sound travel friendly.
Good to hear it's less orange.

I was just thinking how my Aquatic golden is slightly different to my regular one!

 

[Mayanas]
