MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[Dolly Snow]

They might be my only purchase besides a blush so I can try the formula finally.

I love the ED formula. I hope you enjoy it aswell roomy!

 

[MissAileen]

I don't think so. It has just released in Europe/UK and if I'm not mistaken the U.S. release date is May 22nd

Ohh okay, thank you. I knew it wasnt out yet, wanted to preview it. I normally dont go to the mac counter since its 30 mins away but ill be over by there today, didnt know when they usually put it out so we could preview. (Wasnt sure how it worked) do they just put it out the day it releases?

Ok EVERY TIME I see pictures of this collection I always think of this MAC "way back" collection. Can anybody guess the collection???

Hehehe! I have an ES from that collection - Waternymph. I forgot how gorgeous it is until the other day when I was doing a green eye look. I love it so much! This collection totally reminded me of that packaging too!

 

[lipstickaddict]

Exactly, I tried them both together and Delphic was just awful on me way too orange but she was like no no Delphic is the one and I'm like no Id like AS please then she just gave me a telling off like I was in school LOL I'm considering of given Debenhams another order for it & thank you <3

You really should! Hopefully Debenhams still has it!

Perhaps you should contact the manager at that counter and make a complaint. That person should really not be in customer service (and with that advice, they should not be selling makeup lol)

Let us know if you end up getting it!

I just can't seem to make up my mind on what I want from this collection! I will be going to my counter to look at the lipsticks and maybe pick 1-2 if they work for me. I would also like to get just one bronzer and I really want that compact, but I also like the looks of the ED bronzers. Is it a good possibility that the ED bronzers will come out again in a future collection?

If they are a big hit then yes! More than likely even if they are not a big hit too lol

 

[Paint&Ink Chick]

I think I've gotten my list, essentially I wanted all the lipglasses, but after swatches maybe 2? And maybe a blush and 1 shadow, that's good right lol

 

[BrknFlwr85]

That's what I was thinking, I just needed some reassurance that if I skip them they will come back at some point. I wish MAC would make some of the ED products permanent so I can use them without worrying I won't be able to replace them. On the other hand, I don't think I have ever used up a LE powder product, so I should probably just relax.

I wish they would too.

Online : May 15
In stores : May 22

so far I know and yes it was released in Europe, some items are sold out but many products are still available too. For Proenza everything was sold out very quickly, which is not the case for Alluring Aquatic.

 

[SleepingBeauty]

If it wasn't for that gorgeous packaging, I wouldn't have bought so much. Damn it, MAC's strategy totally worked on me.

I got the shipping confirmation of my first order with Aphrodite's Shell and Sea Me, Hear Me on Friday afternoon but unfortunately I don't think it will be here by tomorrow. And for Sea Worship and Silver Sun I have to wait even longer because I ordered them just yesterday. That's why I hate online shopping - I don't have the patience to wait for my orders.

 

[lipstickaddict]

Does anyone know if this collection is already put out at Mac counters to view , swatch and look at? (In the US)

They have seemingly gotten tighter with letting customers preview the products early (although if you get to know someone at one of the Mac counters, they may let you).

I used to have no problem seeing the products early, and they would even hold what I wanted! Lately however, this has changed.

You could always give it a go and see!

 

[RedLadi]

Iam a sucker for the packaging. .. I kinda dont think the colors in the collection are all that special. . But the packaging is gorge!!!!

 

[Ilka]

Does anyone knows if silver sun is a common silver or if it has any hint of taupe?

 

[erine1881]

Ohh okay, thanks! But so what is the purpose of having the brush like that? Sorry if it's a stupid question I'm just a little confused!

One half is natural (applies product softer) fibres, and one half is synthetic (applies product heavier) fibres. It's two brushes in one.

Me too - no room for anything but black handles. :nope:

:werd:

It's rare to get a sneak peek before the collection launches. More than likely you'll get to see it on the day it launches and not any sooner.

Eh. I think just SMHM and the brush for me now. I would really like to try the ED formula out and SMHM seems up my alley. I might get a bronzer after trying them in store, so hopefully I stumble upon a shop in England that still has them or can find a store here that does once I return. If not, money saved.

Where in England will you be? Mostly London or in other cities?

 

[BrknFlwr85]

I read in Temptalia's comments that she won't be reviewing the regular bronzers in the compacts, although she did receive one of them. She said since she has reviewed them in the past, she will be skipping them this time around. I guess I will have to try them out in store to make sure the quality is the same as the ones in regular packaging.

lol that's what they told me about goldbit in 2004ish- 'oh it comes out with every collection- everyone likes it, it will probably be permanent soon'

and then it never came back lol

Lol. I meant just ed bronzers like as a general. Like ed blushes not an exact shade just formula of the bronzer though lol. Also goldbit was super pretty!
