MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[ahoythere]

So basically, would these be good for cool skin tones?

Not so much. You could force it but it there are definitely better bronzers out there for cool toned peeps. I don't know where I got the idea that the word "pink" was at all associated with AS, cos there's no pink in it.

I have 2 and I am still fearful that it will not come back by the time I am done with them! (I'm looking for the 'terror' emoticon....)

Fingers crossed for summer 2015. I have a few more BUs than you do, but I still want to to come back asap.

 

[Mac-Guy]

That helps soooo much!!!


Thank you

I haven' t hit pan on my Optical yet so haven' t noticed a difference.

And I really had no idea of the effect the ridges have. Thank you again!

I'm about to break in my third OB. It's such a great match for NW, especially during Spring and Fall where you only want some light bronzer.

If you're now saying you just want it for the packaging, wait until you see the products in real! Both lipsticks are gorgeous, but I think it totally depends on your personal taste. I'm going crazy about Enchanted One every time I'm wearing it - the formular is absolutley perfect for a matte and the colors matches 100% with both blushs. So I took two snapshots for you to decide (I promise you, live you won't choose, you'll just buy :dancin: ). On my cheeks Sea me, Hear me and a hint of Aphrodite's Shell: Enchanted One: Mystical: Quote: When I was taking the pics, I also took comparison swatches from Morning Rose and Mystical. I don't think that they're very similar, but it may depend on your skin- and liptone. On my lips Morning Rose is lighter and has a stronger metallic sheen. Mystical looks more "wet" and darker with a kind of reddish undertone, so I think it's no problem to own both of them: Mystical, Morning Rose Morning Rose, Mystical Morning Rose Mystical I'm excited to see both on you, @sarabeautime - maybe they are more similar on you?

this just confirmed I'm going to stick to my guns and get these two lippies

Thanks for the comparison swatches! They look very similar to me. I'm hoping they will look similar on my lips because I regret no backing up Morning Rose. It's a really good everyday lipstick.

 

[Monsy]

Absolutely!

thank you

Everything is looking beautiful ladies! I think I'm skipping the lipsticks and picking up Aphrodites Shell and Golden. I think I'll get the most use out of those items. So are we set on the online date? The 15th right?

I really love the packaging .I'm such a sucker for nice packaging lol. There isn't anything really like a must have for me but I need something from this collection cause of the packaging maybe a blush and a lippy

The packaging is awesome but compared to Temperature Rising, the collection is really softer ( too soft and nude I think ). The lipsticks are good though I mean the formula and the shades are "ready-to-wear", but I agree no must-have in this collection, to me the TR lipsticks were must-haves and the quad Bare my Soul too !

TR was great! I have both quads and two lipsticks.

Yes I completely agree this collection is too soft for my liking I'm kicking myself in the butt I didn't get anything from TR Collection

The Honeymania bronzer from TBS is also a great one for really fair nw skintones. (The lightest one,nr1. )

Yes, I like it a lot too

I am still so glad that I caved and got it back then.

It all looks really beautiful on you! Mystical looks like it was made just for you. Also, I don't know if anyone has said this to you before, but you remind me a lot of Vera Farmiga!

My favorite summer collection to date is To the Beach. I hauled like crazy with that collection lol

I'm still crying over that stupid quad. I missed it last year and I've been looking for it for ages but people still want crazy prices and there's no way in hell I'm gonna pay 50-60€ for it. Maybe someday I can find it for a reasonable price.
