L to R
peachstock, enchanted one, siren song, what comes naturally, seduced at sea, sea me, hear me, Aphrodite's Shell, Golden
I actually prefer golden to Aphrodite's shell. I'm about NC15, I felt like I had to built Aphrodite's shell up to show , then again I was using the mac 187 brush.
Golden was a nice surprise.
Enchanted me isn't as dark as it looks. It looks better on the lips. For me,it's about the most brown I can take before it looks awful on me.
Siren song.. I'm a bit disappointed in this. Make sure your lips aren't dry.
What comes naturally pulls a bit weird on me. But that might be because I've been testing the lipsticks.

Thanks everyone for these great swatches!
I'm confused on what to get as it seems many of us are.
I want Sea Worship, Lorelei, &Silver Sun. I think those are for sure.
Mystical is another definite for me. I don't think I need GotS because I have not been wearing very many dark magenta-purples lately. Enchanted One is throwing me off, don't know if it will look good on me or not? So I think I'll skip that one...BUT, after Karrie's swatch of PMP, I feel like "Yup need it"
AS will be mine. Want the compact, so I will be getting Golden because I already have RG.
The brush is a new addition to my list, and it's a definite.
I'm on the fence about the blushes. They look very pretty, but are they must haves? Can't decide! HELP!
Even a nail polish or two are looking good to me right now (arghhh)

Can someone explain to me why the 127 looks like a regular black brush in some pics and a white/brown brush in others??

Because it's split in the middle. One side is brown, the other is black/white 'skunk' hairs.

you're welcome, @nasquiat! i'm pretty sure RG would be better for us NC40s. an SA applied it on me on Thurs and it looked great! when i asked her which to pick between Delphic and RG, she suggested that i definitely go for RG. Karrie posted a comparison photo of both RG and Golden earlier, and Golden looked way too sheer. i also swatched it alongside RG on Thursday - i couldn't even see Golden on my skin!
if it helps i've taken some comparison pics of AS on its own, and then again lined up next to RG and SHMH blush so you can see how well it shows up against more pigmented colours in this collection
AS swatches with and without pesky annotations (sorry if the font's too small)
SMHM, AS, and RG with and without annotations
AS could be used for light, natural contouring teamed with a highlighter but without blush. you can see it pales in comparison to SMHM. if you want something brighter and more pigmented, go for either RG or Delphic.
the full haul! (minus the extra GotS)

If you want me to swatch it against another blush, just tell me! I've still one or two hours of natural light left.
Thanks so much, this was really helpful. I'm not sure what color I am in Mac foundations but Im a 177 in MUFE foundations which I think is considered to be about an NC 50, maybe less IDK. Based on your swatches, do you think RG would show up on me better or Delphic? I've been leaning RG but another opinion would be nice.
