MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[vaisforluvrs]

We need more Enchanted One lipstick swatches! Pretty please

 

[jchait]

I honestly have no idea what to add with my lipsticks anymore. I'm so torn because the colors are kinda blurring together. Maybe I'm still tired from stayin up all night for the Playland release?

 

[MandyVanHook]

The lipsticks look stunning on you! And are your eyes for real?! You've got to have the most doll like eyes I have ever seen and those lashes are amazing!

That's what I was thinking! They are so doll-like!

I'm dreading Thursday. I have a list of what I def want and what I want to swatch but I fear I'll go mad and buy all the pretty things!!

 

[NaomiH]

So am I, I keep flipping and flopping my list and the only reason is because the things that I really really want I have yet to see swatches on any woc close to my shade.

That's another reason for my delay in deciding I think. I'm going to be out of the country when this launches, so if I want anything it'll have to be bought online and I'm just not so sure at the moment.

 

[lilinah]

My list is getting smaller again. Whew!

Already was not getting any blushes. I was considering Aphrodite's Shell, since it's the pinker of the ED bronzers, but the swatches look too yellow/orange for me. And, yeah, i'm getting a regular bronzer, Golden​, just for the compact.

Fewer lipsticks - just Pet Me, Please and Siren Song, although maybe i should skip SS. I'm still at a loss about the glosses - i don't NEED any, but Modern Lure is luring me and i need more swatches of the others... And if i recall correctly, What Comes Naturally was too orange when i tested it back when Tour de Fabulous came out, and i have Naked lipliner which is perfect, so i think i can skip the lipliners.

As for the eyeshadows - probably Lorelei, Sea Worship, Silver Sun, and Fathoms Deep - but i want to cut that list down a little...

 

[CrimsonQuill157]

I am so torn on whether or not I want anything from this collection or not. :/

You are not alone! I think at this point I'm just getting Mystical. GotS just wasn't what I expected it to be.

GotS looks different every time I see it. Actually... that seems to be a theme with this collection so far. It makes it hard to decide on anything!

 

[lilinah]

Anyone have fathoms deep vrs grand galaxy? Or am I way off? TIA!

Fathoms Deep is in the blue family, Grand Galaxy is much redder.

 

[MelroseLuvsMkup]

Hopefully my list will be solid enough before the online release date.......on nordies first please I beg you makeup gods!!!!

 

[shontay07108]

I've dropped the lipsticks from my list now. The more I see, the less I like. I've replaced them w/ two shadows, Soul Serenade and Silver Sun. Those are my kind of shades even though I'm not crazy about EDES. So, now it's two shadows and the compact. I pray that doesn't change.

And now I have to decide between:
Soul Serenade
Lorelei
Fathoms Deep
Modern Lure
Goddess of the Sea
I can get two of these items, what would you suggest? I do have Stolen Moment and I fear that it might me similar to either Soul Serenade or Fathoms Deep, also I own Plumful and rarely use it because it's too violet for my liking.



Since you have Stolen Moment, I'd say skip Soul Serenade. While SM is taupe-y, it is dark and warm, and SS is a dark warm purple, so there's overlap.
I'm confused about Plumful being "too violet", since i only know it as a lipstick. Also, do you mean too blue-violet? or too red-violet? If you think it's too blue, then you probably won't be happy with Fathoms Deep since it's in the blue range. But if you think it's too red, you might like Fathoms Deep.
And I think you can skip Goddess of the Sea because MAC comes out with that sort of color pretty often. That's one reason why i'm skipping it, i have too many of that sort of color as it is.

My list remains the same. I try to add to it but nothing else pops. Makes me sad because I love summer collections. I have my eye on MacOsbournes now.

 

[LARAELYSE]

Fathoms Deep is in the blue family, Grand Galaxy is much redder.

Thank you!

Thanks everyone you are all very kind

, Yeah the eyes and lashes are real, just liner and mascara, thank you so much

Goddess of the Sea & Mystical are very different to each other in real life, Mystical is very rosey and GOTS is almost like a blackcurrant stain with fuchsia tones.
I would also say my pictures didn't show how dark GOTS was because they were taken in sunlight (rare for the UK), Mystical is more colour accurate in the pictures.
Both lipsticks stained my arm when I tried removing them after swatching.

 

[InTheMACMood]

This looks true to life to me, in the shade it does look darker though

Okay, ladies, I need your help. My list has gotten so big that I can't and don't want to spend that much since Mother's Day is coming up.

My list so far:
Aphrodite's Shell (definite)
Sea Me, Hear Me (definite)
Mystical (definite)
These three will be coming with me no matter what.

And now I have to decide between:
Soul Serenade
Lorelei
Fathoms Deep
Modern Lure
Goddess of the Sea

I'm getting Fathom's deep because I already know a look I want to do with it. Its easier for me to cut stuff out if I'm not sure how I want to use it.

 

[BeautyFan55]

My list changes every hour. I really need this collection to come out so I can breathe. I now want GoTS, seducing sound, modern lure, and maybe lorelei, legendary lure, and soul serenade. I changed my mind about water deities, it may not compliment me. I am wondering if Humid is similar to legendary lure or is it more of a teal or blue shade? Can someone pls let me know? It's hard to tell for me

 

[Jennifae]

GotS is back on my list!
