So my final AA haul: Aphrodite's Shell, Siren Song and Mystical. Now do I need Enchanted One? I have Velvet Teddy but its a little too brown for my taste.
EO is pinker than VT on fair complexions. Do you have cozy up or kinda sexy? Can you try it in store? It is really pretty! (especially with WD on top!). :)

Wore Mystical out today. So pretty and such an easy color to wear (SMHM on the cheeks): And yes, that IS a ray of sunlight falling on my face. Even the heavens like this collection LOL. When I got home, I decided to try on GOTS (since Mystical came off during lunch and I didn't reapply b/c I left it at home). It's PERFECT. I expected the color to appear much more muted on me, like a darker Mystical. But no... it's so much more than I thought it would be. I was SO close to skipping because I knew my haul was going to be $$$$ and since I collect plum lip products, it's not something I NEEDED. Also, I purchased Dior Addict Fluid Stick in 995 Intrigue several weeks back and promptly removed GOTS from my wish list. But it wasn't plum on me, so I added GOTS again. In fact, the GOTS + Modern Lure combo is EXACTLY what I wanted 995 Intrigue to be on me: a rich, opaque plum with sheen. Intrigue has more red in it than GOTS and comes off as a rich wine color on me. Looks like I'll be stalking for a restock after all (BOO!!) But, I MUST have another GOTS and Modern Lure for my collection. SMHM on the cheeks as well: [COLOR=CD69A1] [/COLOR] P.S. I wore SaS this weekend. Looks pretty on WOC and there is a difference from SMHM on the cheeks.
Everything looks gorgeous

Enchanted One on lips, and AS on cheeks as blush :) very natural looking, I like both items.
AS looks lovely as blush. I've been doing the same.

I got Lorilei this weekend thanks to an AMAZING Specktrette. I don't understand why this color was NOT on my original list? YAY!!!!!!

I know, it's so pretty! So happy I went back for it!
It's the most multiuse of all of the shadows. It will look great as a highlight, a wash of color, blended with some of the other shades in the collection. I spent the weekend looking at AA haul videos and that's what convinced me I needed it. Thank you to my MAC angel for helping me find it!!!!!

Tried to get a good lip swatch! Couldn't do it, with me being sick and the color of the pencil I looked off. But this is a hand swatch. On me it's more peachy than a complete block out shade
