I have the exact same problem, that's why I use numbers now. When I say the names the right way I either get

or a wrong pronunciation back. I remember this happened with Chanel's Paradis lipstick, I happened to get that in store, asked for Paradis and the girl was like "...you mean Paradise?" and I said "no, there is no Paradise Rouge Coco, I mean Paradis..." counter manager had to come over to help her!

as far as English / US English is concerned, pronunciation is good ONLY if you were born there, or lived there for a long time. French is far more simple in fact.

Mt stuff arrived about an hour ago! I really love this packaging, I can't stop playing with it! lol the shadows are super super smooth, I only have one other EDES, A Natural Flirt, so I'm not sure how they all are but these are definitely much smoother than A Natural Flirt. Goddess of the Sea is the EXACT color I thought it would be, which is like one of the only times that's ever happened to me! lol (you know when you see 500 photos etc but in your head you still have an idea of the tone on you?) I'm not sure how much I'll wear this over the summer but definitely in the fall! Goddess of the Sea

It gets really bad when they pronounce La Roche Posay as La Roach Pussay.

SoulSerenede, LL, Lorelei, SW, Silver Sun


Peachstock, Water Dieties, Clear Water


Pet Me, GotS, SS, Mystical


(From top to bottom) Golden, AS, Seduced at Sea, SMHM

NW18ish. Sorry for the chill bumps an iPhone pics. My actual camera is in TX.


Golden is way pinker than I have ever seen it before. It is pinker than AS on me so I was very excited. It looks noting like what I have swatched with Golden before. I LOVE AS, I LOVE Sea Me, Hear Me it is neutral and great for everday. AMAZING texture. Soul Serenede is like no other brown I have LOVE IT, Sea Worship is the most perfect and gorgeous gold ever. The rest of the shadows are great. LL looks blue/teal in the pan but that does not translate to my skin. It is like a finely milled and less glittery Clarity. Water Dieties is gorgeous and I have been anti lipglass for a while. Clear Water has way more shimmer than Impossibly Sweet. The brushes are superb. Excellent quality and not SE but darn special and just LOVE. Lipsticks, I like SS a lot, I like PMP but I LOVE other pink frosts, I LOVE Mystical. It is not super brown or orange. It is darker than Morning Rose and Venus but still a perfect MLBB lippy. I will use it a lot. GotS, what I can I say, it is so pretty. Swatched on me it scared me. It looked like Bust Out that I hated and skipped but on my lips it is more perfect than any other purple lippy I have or have tried on. It is not vampy but it is special and can work with so many looks. I am glad I did not skip the lip sticks.

I got my package! I only bought both blushes but they are both SOOOO lovely! I especially love SMHM but SaS is a beautiful, natural spring/summer color. The finish is gorgeous, as usual with ED formulas, but the pigment is amazing AND they feel so silky... I feel like everytime MAC releases an Extra Dimension collex, the quality gets better and better. The first collex had blushes that were difficult to pick up; Magnetic Nude didn't have any weird film or texture issues but these new blushes just feel better. Swatching on my skin (NC 50) was effortless. I'll post pics in the AA Swatch thread, as well as here, since I see that people either are neglecting to swatch in the other thread or are just unaware of it, lol.

I can believe it, some of these were pretty unique colors. I was in a rush to get my order in before the AS or l/s sold out, but I am going to stalk the Nordies launch to get the EDES that were still Coming Soon when I hit my submit final order click. I have to go back for Legendary Lure and Soul Serenade. Luckily I got Silver Sun and LoraLei.

Yes I agree they're unique colors they didn't have the color I really wanted at the time I ordered so I didn't even bother. Now most of them are gone lol.

Here are quick swatches; my cell phone washes color out HORRIBLY and these pics do the items NO JUSTICE. Both colors are deeper /richer and more pigmented than they are showing up. SaS isn't at all chalky/ashy/too light, what have not, on my NC 50 skin tone. I will be rocking this as well, as a soft, natural color. Both are just ONE swipe as well.
