/\ Exactly, I've herad from a few diff people they look EXACTLY the same! Then, in another post from this MAC forum, there was this to say:

So yeah, I think they are the same thing.

Well Im going to buy Belle Azure. Hence I dont have Freshwater yet.
I just kinda love the collection in general. I love the whole "Outragiously Golden Broze" look. With lots of rich browns and deep golds, contrasted against vivid colors.
Makes me think of a summer in Rio.
I love Brazil.

Well, I'm going tomorrow right after Anatomy class to check everything out
I'm definetly getting Magnetique and Lucky Green... maybe one of the other lipglasses too. I also want a bronzing stick because I think they're quite convenient.
As for Lip Gelee.... I will have to see if they are sticky enough for me.
All the pictures that have been posted of the products look so great! A MUAer posted pics of the lipglasses and they look wonderful as well (can't remember who). I think that this is an exciting collection and I can't wait to see everything in person
.... I think that Magnetique might be Boy Magnet re-released also, but don't quote me on that. They look similar though.

wow, on the Belle Azure vs. Freshwater. Apprently MAC does not think we notice these things. Someone had posted before that Belle Azur was the frosted version of Electric Eel. I will be curious to see it myself tomorrow in person. Now that lucky green ? that is a 'hole another story. I am all over that one !
Thanks for posting the comparisons !

Myself and 4 other MAC MA's compared Freshwater & Belle Azure side by side. They looked identical.
Belle Azure might have a tiny bit more pearl in it, which is why it looks more shimmery in that pic, but IRL you could not see a difference at all. It would honestly be a waste of money to have both.

Just a thought...there are only so many colors...right? I mean...realistically. Isn't it impossible to come up with completely different colors after a while. Maybe a different finish...like pearl...yes. But it seems (in my humble opinion) that it's almost inevitable for a color NOT to be repeated. Am I wrong?

I was all hyped for this online but when I saw it today at the store I was meh. I only got 2 eyeshadows and a lipglass. Just leaves me more money for c-squeeze which I'm REALLY looking forward too!

I got the Quiver pearlizer from the collection, but it was the last thing I was there to look at. It was okay...Bronze sticks were a really nice texture, much better than expected, and I still might pick one up but the one I liked looked the exact same as Quiver on my skin. Hundred Degrees was like sidewalk chalk on my skin, ewwww.....I opted for the Summerfete TLC over Rayothon because it felt better and looked almost the same on my lips. I expected Summerfete to be really warm but it wasn't at all....GORGEOUS! Am still waiting on the lip gelees but really can't afford it right now!

No it's true.. This is why it's good idea to pace yourself.
But if I had the money I would have bought every thing from Belle Azure and Sunshrine today. Hehe!

I also compaired both colors on my hand, and they are identical. I couldn't tell much of a diffrence between them. Even the MA said they looked just alike.

ack. i'm returning belle zure. i bought it and didn't test it out with freshwater. i was in a drug induced haze from allergies and benadryl. i even got deep dark blot powder, when they is NOT my shade. lol. at first, i was like, alright i'm going to get it since it's a VP. but freshwater is a vp also. so definitely retuning it. don't care about the packaging since i depot all my stuff anyways.

i bought elite, belle azure and lucky green.
i have to say that elite looks nothing like amber lights on me. elite is much more of a light brown, chocolate bronze. amber lights is more of a golden and coppery colour. i could justify the purchase

ehh...I went to check it out today, I really must say I am disappointed.
Colors are not as bright as expected, I already have a couple Multiples so the Bronzing sticks are worthless, I can't wear any of the lipsticks as they're frost (Frost makes me look like a drag queen). They were out of Summerfete, the only thing I really wanted. And no use in getting a lipgloss, just cause.
Yeah.
Oh well.
I'll be saving my money for a Giorgio Armani haul when I got o Vegas.
