Love the haul. Have fun using it, I'm going to wear GotS and ML for a barbecue on Saturday

I hope this collection goes up on Nordstrom while they still have the 15% back thru Ebates. I get the feeling that it won't though.

I sure hope so because this is going to be a huge haul for me.

And it could happen! Last year, IIRC, I got 14% cashback on Temperature Rising. That was a big haul too.

The blushes can you swatch them side by side? I think this has been posted but almost every picture looks different.

Hi lovely, here are the two extra dimension blushes side by side.
Seduced at Sea is more of an orange with pinky-red tones and golden shimmer.
Sea Me, Hear me is more of a pink, warm-toned coral colour.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I cannot see the terra cotta tones in SaS, which I KNOW are there, but I maybe will get SMHM. I am STILL on the fence on that one. Maybe if I layer it over the bronzer, I will get the pink I am looking for. Better yet, maybe just layer Bareness over the bronzer to get rosy beige. I wish MAC would consider hiring better color describers.

Hmmmm I just thought of girl next door from archies. Anyone have it to compare with Siren song?

I have Girl Next Door from Archie's Girls and Siren Song from Alluring Aquatic, I wouldn't say they similar colours.

I wear Girl Next Door a lot it is more of a baby barbie pink and more pigmented than siren song, siren song is more sheer light beige

You can see me wearing Girl Next Door at 4:10 on this video

as you can see it's quite pigmented for a lustre and very pink here is a picture of Girl Next Door on my lips.



Whereas here is Siren song from alluring aquatic at 2:23 on this video

I don't yet have a swatch of siren song on my lips I will try to do one later



I hope that helps

Okay, I've decided not to get AS. I will settle to Golden only as far as bronzers go.

Thank you so much! I don't see much difference. I think the orangey description turned me of going with sea me instead then

 

[jemmapixiehixon]

Yeah, I see no pink at ALL. Maybe I should skip this and hope for one to come later than actually does have some pink. DO YOU HEAR US, MAC???

I think on my skin I can see pinky undertones in Aphrodites shell if that is what you are talking about? Check out my swatches at 9:40 on this video

Here is a picture of Aphrodites Shell and Delphic next to each other




I think swatched next to delphic, aphrodites shell has more of a pink undertone... but thats on my skin anyway

 

[mosha010]

Still gonna swatch in store buahahahah but I know if I really want somethig my best bet is stalk the site on release. I can swatch later for other things I'm not sure about

 

[jemmapixiehixon]

Thank you so much for your kind words lovely

Your name looks familiar from somewhere. Thank you for the swatches, welcome to specktra

 

[jemmapixiehixon]

That's ok

It would be best to swatch them in person if you can, because they don't seem to photographing well, they do look rather similar photographed but in person you can definitely see a more mid orange/terracotta colour in Seduced at sea, and more of a pink colour in sea me hear me

I loved the e/s swatches, I hope Loralei is as pink as it looks on that vid! If so, my list for the EDES now includes LL (Loralei), SW, Silver Sun, Soul Serenade, maybe Sea Worship, not sure on that one, but it would be good to pair with Silver Sun. I am considering BU of PMP and Mythical. I hope they are pink as I want them to be. NO brown tones.

I am a singer lovely, I have been completely housebound for over 5 years with severe agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks, but I still carried on singing and uploaded my videos to youtube, I have appeared on MTV, BBC, and news/tv/radio over the world from my own home, I was also the most viewed video in china with millions of views over night... moral of the story is never stop anything from doing what you love!!

Perhaps you have seen a video or an article about me in the past, maybe you recognise my name from something online.

I am glad my swatches were helpful

Much love

yes Lorelei definitely has pink tones, it is a stunning colour... I really love all of the eyeshadows though!! Sea worship is a beautiful colour, an antique gold I would describe it as

I know. I took out some items on my list to put back In some edes. Whyyyy. I thought I was so sure on my list. Those greenish colors are amazing and I don't have anything remotely that shade since I always gravitate to teals and aquamarines. I can see this as grown up mermaid colors. K I'm ready.

Oh I hope so...I'm buying sooo much stuff, and if I'm right...it would be like $62 cashback for me.

 

[staceface]

I just caved and bought AS, debenhams had 10% off
