does anyone think Lorelei can compare to Naked Deep Dark pigment?

Here's a review of the ED bronzers.

Golden looks so pale in swatches .. Really can't decide if I wanna get a compact with it or just the ED one ;(

Thank you for this. I'm NC40/NARS Stromboli as well and I was on the fence about AS, but now it's completely off my list.my skin colour is almost identical to Karen's (she's NC42, i'm NC40) and AS barely shows up on me. so it's likely to be too light for you, @amzee807. it's too subtle to be a bronzer, probably a little too dark to be a highlighter - i might have to try it out as a highlighter tomorrow during the day and see if it works under natural light. might be better as a nude blush, perhaps?
@Abrilita02 i personally wouldn't use Delphic as a highlighter as it's similar to RG on my skin. therefore it's too dark for highlighting, esp. if you're lighter than NC40. if you have RG as a bronzer, are on the fence about AS for a bronzer or highlighter, and are trying to cut down on your wishlist, i'd say skip AS. you already have a very decent bronzer in RG, and you can find much better highlighters out there instead of trying to work AS into being one
hope this helps.
So would RG be better than Golden for us?

Lovely. I love the 4th one.Hey Ladies ...
Lorelei (Left), Silver Sun (Middle), Seduced At Sea (Right) on NC25 skin
Siren Song
Seduced at sea is a bit more terracotta than I thought it was going to be....and lorelei is more copper than the golden beige Mac describes it as. My sort of shades though so it's all good

OK, list revised AGAIN. Thanks especially to the lipglass swatches on Temptalia and MU&BB - even tho they're both warmer and way darker than i am.
Lipstick - Siren Song, Pet Me, Please
Lipglass - Water Deities, Modern Lure, altho i may replace WD with Clear Water if the sparkles in it are that amazing.
What Comes Naturally Lip Pencil - i could swear it was warmer, but it looks pretty cool-toned in the swatches, and i'm wearing more nude-y lipsticks lately
Extra Dimension Eyeshadow - Lorelei, Sea Worship, Silver Sun, Fathoms Deep, altho if FD is too blackish, it's a skip
Golden Bronzing Powder - for the compact... altho i might be able to wear it, if it's as sheer as it looks on some people - not as a bronzer, but to tone other cheek colors.
Submerged Nail Lacquer
NO Blushes
Aphrodite's Shell Extra Dimension Bronzer is looking like a no-go for me. It looks way too warm, but i will test it.
I already have Black Line Pearlglide - i don't wear black liner, but it has enough gold in it to not look pure black
Not as small a list as my initial 5 items, but definitely smaller than the 15 i had on my list for a while.
Has anyone gotten the brushes? Are they as good as someone was saying?

Karen's review of Delphic and the blushes
http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/mac-alluring-aquatic-collection-extra-dimension-bronzer-blush/
She doesn't mention AS which is too bad, but Delphic is gorgeous on her!
Drat! I am now thinking of getting both ED Bronzers

Me too. Karen's review of Delphic had me swooning, but I need to stand firm with just my AS. Right? Right.

The shadows are so not worth it. Unless you really want to spend money. SMHM is going to kinda be like blushbaby but with a tinge of orange. Mystical is pretty close to Cosmo. I also compare Mystical to MR from the MN collection but Mystical is a touch more brown and a darker muted rose shade. Hope this helps.

Yes try and stand firm. I always go and end up buying more than I wanted. But I will stand firm, maybe one lipstick lol

Sorry I don't have HH
If you want me to, I can give it a try and swatch the result.
Yes, it does have a really pretty sparkle. If you're into that you better have a look at it in person. I wish I liked glosses on me only so I could justify buying it for myself!

I feel like my swatches made it look more berry than it is. I mentioned that red tones were enhanced by my phone camera. I wouldn't call it a berry shade. To me, Rebel is berry. GotS is really more like a deeper muted up the amp on me if that makes sense.
