MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[elegant-one]

Everything I wanted was sold out. Oh well! I'll hit the stores on launch day...The store I go to in SM is like a hidden gem. When new collections launch, there's never a line....

Elegant is a class act. So nice and helpful....definitely my favorite at Spectra!

That is incredibly sweet & kind my dear

Thank you bunches

^^^This...is why we love it here

I hope you get what you want at the store!

I've been trying to stay on top of things but last night there were like 30 new posts every time I looked away. That's when I decided to go to bed.. haha.

Only rational explanation..

When I said I was maybe only getting one ls, you guys prolly thought you had me snagged for the low-buy thread

I think Liba mentioned it was like Tropical Mist from Carine Roitfeld.

Aww for some reason the video reminded me of Talia Joy Castellano on YouTube. After she passed away everyone was pushing for MAC to make a collection for her and part of me feels like this one fits the bill, even if it wasn't made for her specifically. Her motto was "just keep swimming," so I'm sure she would have loved this collection. I miss watching that sweet little girl so much.

That makes me want to cry! She was such a sweet girl.

And might I just add I love our Elegant, too!

Thanks my dear lovely friend & fellow runner

If you're into Chanel...check out the LE blush in Canaille. It is the most beautiful summery blush EVA!

Yes!! It is my fave right now. I'm so sad it's LE. Just gorgeous!!!

Thank you! I really needed a reminder about Osbournes and Moody Blooms! I was juuust about to finalize a 2nd order even though I've already bought a lot. Pet Me Please l/s and Peachstock l/g are singing their siren songs... Gah I hope they sell out soon! :haha:

Get your list for those two collections out (with $ subtotals in [COLOR=FF0000]BOLD RED[/COLOR] font) and keep it visible at all times! Lol.

:lol: Hmm, a couple sticky notes on my monitor might also help, lol. Maybe some around the house too lol.

No way. Is it bad that I didn't believe you when you said you were only getting one lipstick?

LL is up on the site now for those of you that don't know.

You didn't believe me because you know what my M.O. is

Just got LL, now i'm done hauling from Alluring Aquatic … going to sleep i've been stalking this collection for 24 hours

That makes me want to cry! She was such a sweet girl.

I know, I cried like a baby when she passed away, it was so sad. She was very sweet and such a strong girl considering all that she had to deal with in her too short life. Now I feel a little better about spending money on this collection just for the packaging.

I agree with Liba.

My new favorite Nude is actualy SS. Oh my gawwwwd. I'm so grateful that T made it look bad. Her tendency to cake on products worked in my favor. I only do two swipes and it turns my mauvey pigmented lips into a MLBB shade. The texture is awesome too as it is very similar to Roitfeld's TT. It is moisturizing and it has a lot of slip. Some of the lustres can be drier, but this is definitely in the more moisturizing range. TT is more of a nude nude while SS is more a lighter version with some pearlized effect. Mind you, IMO it looks best when you do just two swipes, but this also means you have to reapply it more often. T must have done at least 10 swipes (who does that anyway?!?!) to get a frosty look - and the camera must have picked up this effect and even magnified it. As I am running low on TT, I'm glad I stocked up on SS.

I got EO and Mystical lippies.... I only wanted EO and Mystical but I threw in GoTS just because I was going crazy at that point LOL now I really regret getting it because I don't even wear dark purples D:
When it comes tmrw I'm going to stare at the box, open the box, stare at the lipstick packaging, admire how nice it looks, and probably return it haha. Or pass it on to someone for retail if they can't get it next week

 

[Mac-Guy]

Thank you so much! I am light plus so I guess as you said it comes down to my personal taste and budget

I'll look at more swatches etc and if I want anything else I can order from Nordies. Thanks again!

Woohoo. You are welcome

If you have mauvey lips, you need SS.


I agree with Liba.

Well you just sold me on SS and it was never on any of my many lists for this collection. I will be trying it on when I go in store to pick up a few other things from this collection.

Woke up at 9am. Was able to grab Delphic, Mystical and GotS. Then got an email stating that Mystical wasn't charged to my account. That's ok. Went to MAC and bought TLK. Not going to wait it out for Macys or Nordstrom.
