The swatches from silver sun made me think of the modern pewter. So I would be most appreciative if you can swatch them. Thanks :)

For all those who haven't seen my swatches, here are just the pictures. They're all swatched in daylight without any base:







Silver Sun, Sea Worship, Lorelei, Legendary Lure, Fanthoms Deep, Soul Serenade


Enchanted One, Mystical, Goddess of the Sea, Seducing Sound, Black Line


Sea me, Hear me; Seduced at Sea, Aphrodite's Shell


I'm totaly in love with this collection! Loving the packaging, the colours, the quality. Especially Black Line is a really underrated product I think - nevertheless the other products are fantastic, too. If you need any comparisons I'll try to take some pics :)
dang... I want it all now...

@Dolly Snow, so last week we were talking about Aphrodite's shell. I wasn't going to get any of the bronzers but I picked it up in store when I swatched it and it was so sheer. I have worn it a few times now and I really love it. I have never owned a brozer before. I don't like to look "tan", I enjoy my fair skin tone, but I love AS. It really does take a bit of effort to build up the color with this ED bronzer, and I love that. I wanted a kiss of color, not something that was going to be heavy or easy to over apply. It's sheer with a bit of a sheen that is so pretty, but it's not sparkly or glittery. I really think you are going to love it. You kept talking about it and I kept thinking.. I don't think I will like it, but I really do. I am at my palest ever after living in Europe for 3 years, and I am going to Florida this summer and I am going to be logging some serious beach hours. I will be wearing a big floppy beach hat to protect my skin for the most part, but I think if I have any changes in my skin tone over the summer I'll be able to warm up my normal makeup routine with AS. If you think you are going to get alot of use out of this one, you may want to back it up. :)

Yes I remember when we spoke :) See exactly how you described it, it sounds perfect for me. I love ED products because they take little effort. Im so happy you said I'll like it because truthfully as you have seen I love it on everyone. I appreciate you telling me all this babe. I will consider a BU because I really do feel like I will get a lot of use out of AS! :train:

Fantastic to hear! Thank you so much for the post! I am SO excited for AS--have been riding the AS train with @Dolly Snow. LOL.

I am definitely not a pale skinned beauty (I'm NC30) but I still think this is going to be perfect for what I want. Especially for layering with blush and wearing in the winter when I'm a lot fairer. Thank you!

I only got 1 thing from this collection and it's Aphrodite's Shell ED Bronzer. I'm not sure what has been said about these bronzers so far, because I've missed over 100 pages. The formula is completely different from the regular EDSF formula. It's not shimmery, but gives a soft sheen. I find AS great for my pale pinktoned skin because it has red undertones, Delphic was a bit darker and has yellow undertones. The look of AS is a bit ligher and softer than my Sun Dipped Pro Longwear Bronzer. I love it a lot! I hope everyone is enjoying their new goodies and that it will release soon everywhere! I'm still a bit tempted by some of the eyeshadows, especially the darker ones are really beautiful. They reminded me of the Style Black MES, but with a much smoother formula.

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?
thanks so much! I needed this. I really disliked MR on me because it looked exactly like my lip color and why do I need to buy my lip color in a tube? Now I'm excited for Mystical again
