went to mac today to backtomac..
i tried on refined golden, but i can't tell if it suits me or if i should stick to aphrodite's shell?

here is me with refined golden on. i didn't like golden; i felt like the pigmentation was meh. i'm in the US, so i don't know what AS looks like irl and i've never used an ED product, so i don't know how it will apply.


don't judge my mismatched foundation; i tried a different one on just to check and it didn't quite work :(


i own no bronzers, and i love the AA packaging, so...
what do you guys think?

I am 100% settled on Soul Serenade e/s, Mystical, and Sea Me, Hear Me. I am addicted to coming back for more swatches, you guys! This is driving me crazy waiting for the 22nd

everyone's swatches are so great. Mystical reminds me of a SUPER OLD Mark lipstick (sister cosmetics of Avon!) that you can't get anymore. I'm hoping it's close because mine is almost out, and even if it isn't, it seems similar so it will get a lot of love, I'm sure.

I wonder if these brushes 127 and 233 will be made permanent... Is one for shadows and the other for blush? & exactly which one is for each?
I saw this on nordies http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mac-split-fiber-allover-eye-brush/3491044?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=2020&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_6_A is this brush perm on left over from another collection?

It looks nice!! But I think you could find a bronzer that better matches your skin tone

Does anyone have both Mystical and Morning Rose from Magnetic Nude? Someone mentioned way back that they looked similar. I would love to see a comparison swatch. Here they are from T, with Morning Rose on the left and Mystical on the right.

I am loving these swatches, everyone! Though narrowing down my list is still difficult...

That being said, does anyone have both Silver Sun and Fresh Approach (this is the top right shade in the Photo Realism quad) and can swatch both? It's the only shade I can think of that looks similar to SS.

Also, has anyone swatched Water Dieties, Nymphette, and NARS Orgasm side by side? I have the latter two, so I'm not sure if I need WD.

Otherwise...my list is looking like this for online ordering (I want to see the blushes in person):

Aphrodite's Shell
Mystical
Goddess of the Sea
Seducing Sound
Legendary Lure
Fathom's Deep

And my maybes, pending dupes...

Silver Sun (looks really similar to Fresh Approach, as mentioned above)
Soul Serenade (I really want to see this swatched side by side with Deep Cravings and Moth Brown)
Water Dieties
Modern Lure (I have Lust for Life already, but it got a lot of use last Fall, so this might be a good shade to have around)

I haven't bought this many items from a MAC collection in years, and wasn't sold on the Extra Dimension products until now (though I'm regretting not picking up Superb!).

I have MR and love it! No wonder why I was gravitating towards Mystical :)

Thanks for comparison idea ;-) I have them both, will check out and post here. Without even checking I can tell though Morning Rose is more pink and Mystical is more brown. Let's see if I am right ;-)

Looking at swatches, I'm rather concerned that Goddess of the Sea will look similar to Dish It Up on me (I skipped Heavenly Hybrid for the same reason). But I really, really want something with this packaging, and it's the only thing that will remotely work on me since I'm allergic to the ED stuff.

Modern Lure LG looks way too dark for me, and the clear one, while gorgeous, I can't justify due to having too many unopened LGs already.
