MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[NaomiH]

one of the only reasons this might not land in CCO's in too much volume, is the packaging.. lol.

it's quite unique and most of the rabid collectors will want it for that alone.. that's why I want it. I don't need another bronzer. I don't need another blusher.. and the lippies are meh at best. But the packaging

Agreed. One of the only reasons I'm even still contemplating looking anything over is the packaging and even then I'm only going to look over Delphic and SMHM. If only the products inside matched the beauty of the packaging.

Fine. Maybe I'll get the Givenchy Summer bronzer for $66 and skip this collection completely! Because my MAC list is already over that, so the Givenchy is looking like a steal! (is that good makeup logic?)

I ordered givenchy bronzer

 

[purplevines]

I know it sucks! It's because it's in the PATH

Ohhh that makes sense, those business people gotta get their mac on on too!

I'd like to see this stuff in person but I'm just going to order online. I get 90% of my stuff online. My nearest counter is 45 minutes away and the crowds stress me out.

my plan was to actually go in person when they first open and i had put in a request at my job to let me start at 12 which gives me enough time BUT they forgot about it and didn't honor it so now Im going to have to stalk the site with you all. I know regardless I'm getting Goddess of the Sea and Refine Golden only for the packaging so i could have ordered that without seeing it in person anyways but it was the Delphic bronzer that I wanted to check out because I don't care for the EDSF bronzer packaging since I'm getting the compact. oh well if i don't like delphic I can just sell it here lol

nowadays these young men just get anything they can get there hands on apparently and that is no way to approach makeup purchases lmao

Yeah! I went early for the holiday Riri one and apparent they sold out of all the lipsticks exept riri woo by 8:30am. Damn suits

I am thinking of getting AS although I am not big fan of ed formula it's too metallic.

Also I plan on getting refined golden, i always buy it in LE packaging. this would be my third. I already used up one I had from I think style warriors ?

plus I got two lancome bronzers recently... Not that I need another bronzer till the end of my life

 

[daanr]

Is there anyone that could swatch Crosswires and Mystical together? I'm really on the fence about dumping it right now.

Already did that a lot of pages ago. But here you go

Crosswires on top, mystical bottom

I think someone said that these ED Bronzers aren't very metallic.

it's more logical to buy an item you absolutely LOVE.. than a mediocre product which you like.. you will use it more and enjoy it more.   Logic, as defined by the Greeks.. no, makeup does NOT fit into any form of logical thinking.

I I agree and second besides the Givenchy bronzer is beautiful, so are the lipsticks. The Greek ? Euh yes

You are definitely right about buying things that we will get a  lot of use out of and offers something unique to our collections. I try to stick to that, but if I'm being completely honest with myself, I shouldn't be buying any makeup at all. I will be going in store to swatch AS and see if is something that I can use. I only have completely matte bronzers and really shimmery ones, so one with a subtle sheen would probably be nice to have. 

Yes! Swatching in store is the best way to go!

I wanted the Givenchy bronzer too, until I realized it's the same one as their perm shade (#2?) just with a different design, which will wear off after just a few uses anyway :/

 

[BrknFlwr85]

So Mystical and EO seem to have very similar shades in the perm line, but is there anything like GotS?

 

[Jaymuhlee]

I fell in love with the Guerlain 4 Seasons bronzer and just bought it yesterday with the intention of skipping AS and Golden but now I may be back-pedaling. I'm still considering getting Golden but only after I see it IRL. I think I'll skip Mystical even though I own none of the colors people have done comparisons with (I plan to B2M for something similar later), leaving Goddess of the Sea as the last item on my list! I may do even better than my original one blush + one lipstick goal!

This is how I feel too, the ony things I really do want are Sea Worship and Silver Sun eyeshadows but I just have to have a lipstick in this packaging! Goddess of the Sea is the only one I see myself actually wearing (Mystical too but I feel like I have close enough colors)
