MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[VelvetLips]

you look gorgeous in this pic - such a beautiful natural look. and i agree about the Specktra community - i've only been here a week and everyone's been so welcoming that i feel like i've been a part of it for years. there's no hostility and no bitchiness towards anyone unlike most social media forums and sites. just warmth, positivity and a willingness to help. no wonder i'm addicted to this website

My thoughts exactly! Thank you for being so nice and welcoming, everyone!

what number is the very top brush? I can read the rest but the top ones numbers look fuzzy. Thanks in advance!

It's the 109! Sorry for replying so late, I just got up!

Duh, I just recognised that I labelled it wrong! It's not top to bottom but bottom to top! Duuuuuh! Sorry about that ladies! I was sooooo tired yesterday when I posted the pics!

I really want Enchanted One now..... BUT I am going to go to the MAC store and try on Honeylove for a reference point since both look a like and both are matte. Thanks for sharing..... I had Mac Close Contact and sent it back it was horrible.

The more swatches I see, the more confused I get. I don't know that I'll be buying anything online... I almost feel like I need to see it all firsthand before I can decide but that's dangerous because what if everything sells out. Does anyone who purchased SMHM also own Hourglass' Mood Exposure? That's the blush I was leaning towards but if it's too similar then I'll skip. And now I'm almost certainly sold on AS even though I had no intention of getting any of the bronzers!

I have them both, let me swatch for you

I decided for the seduced at sea blush - it's a nice bronze, orange shimmery shade. hear me, sea me is more a natural pink.
i chose sas, because i love orange blushes.

here you can find really good swatches of both. these are really authentic.

I just hope that MAC Mystical Lipstick does not look like MAC Apres Chic Lipstick. MAC Apres Chic Lipstick seems to be more brown in T's swatches but I really disliked that color.

No. AP has a red base, M's base colour is pink.

My Sea Worship arrived, so so love this, it is unique in my ES stash.

Some fairly random comparisons, as I really don't have anything similar, L-R:

Silver Dawn EDES, UD Stash, SW, Damson PP (in the pan I can barely see the purple so it looks much more similar!), SW again, Silver Birch MES



Then some comparisons to eyeliners, L-R:

UD Apathy, UD Stash, Sea Worship, Silver Sun, UD Mildew

Top: Chanel Canaille Middle: MAC SMHM Bottom: Hourglass Mood Exposure

Thanks you so much for that insight.

Few more comparisons I could think of. Bottom to top: mystical, glamourdaze n bad girl riri


I have three Bad Girl RIRI's and I love that color but do I really need more of the same color is a different finish..... wow I must deside.

I wish I knew just how close Mystical and Cosmo really are.


What would be cool is to see Honeylove, Mystical and Cosmo side by side. I have cosmo and I plan to go and try on Mac Honeylove today.

My order of AS got cancelled so I went to pick it up from the MAC store where one of the girls that work there spoke to me like a piece of crap an got stroppy with me because I didn't want to take her advice an get Delphic as I wanted AS so in the end I told her to shove it I'm not going to buy anything! I don't even understand why I was treated like that as not once have I had a problem with my local store before, I'm always in there buying their products now I don't think I wanna go in for a good while or for good! Not happy, sorry for the rant guys haha!!
