MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[beautycool]

Hi ladies just phoned my local mac for advice The two bronzers golden and refined golden can be used on either skin tones but more so refined gold for darker skin tones but she said mac bought out both both for lighter skin tones so she said either one I think I stick to golden though now And extra dimension bronzer not shimmery and glittery like the other ones mmmmm I'm not sure what to choose but like the golden now I think

Some comparisons so you can have a better idea of what the actual color of Mystical looks like. From top to bottom: crosswires, see sheer, mystical. And on the right rouge dior 644

Thanks for swatches I have bought mystical I pick it up this week x from my store cannot wait

 

[beautycool]

My mac said that they didn't have the two blushes in either and some other stuff not every store got everything oh dear What's going on there then

Great! I hope you love everything.

I would love to know what you think of Siren Song & AS on.

So I am wearing Siren Song today and I have to say, I really like it. It does show up on me very well, even with the first layer. But it will never look opaque. It has a very, very fine pearly sheen, but it does not look frosty. It lightens my lipcolour and it is a great nude for my pale skintone. I think, if you like altered beige frome last year, you will like this one too. Allthough siren song is lighter and more beigey than altered beige. And they both have this fine shimmery sheen with the lustre finish.

You got me wanting to check out Crosswires now. Been doing some google searches but I am going to see it in person at the Mac store and back to Mac for it if I like it.

To be fair, he's about 50+ and has been working there forever, you can tell he is a very bitter person, always giving me the "I know best" sort of argument. I asked for a foundation sample for a friend of mine who lives in Pisa and has no accessible MAC but was really keen on trying it before ordering online because she loved the way it looked on my skin. He argued with me and said that it wasn't the company's policy to give out samples. The boutique he worked was the most convenient one for me to go to, but I never patronized it simply because he was so unpleasant to interact with. Went to another boutique more out of the way, but the girls there were more than happy to assist me and gave me a few more foundation samples that they thought might be suitable to pass to my friend. 

Ouch! Well that sux :/ I don't understand what brings people to believe that treating people that way is going to have them continue going getting treated that way and spend their hard earned cash! I many times have stopped going to places because of the sales people there and will continue to do so. If you don't like handling and interacting with people guess what?! Don't work retail!!!!

The packaging is too pretty to ignore! I was trying not to get anything, but I really like the look of Mystical and Lorelei.  Also Lorelei reminds me of Gilmore Girls, which is my favourite TV show ever so I can justify my purchase, right? lol

It's my favorite show, too! It's a good thing I love the color because it makes the purchase decision easier!

I will make pictures with everything on as soon as possible.

Thank You Thank You!!!! I love your pics & descriptions!!!

This post is amazing! It has some great comparison swatches too http://beautiful-inside82.blogspot.com/2014/05/extrem-geshoppt-mac-alluring-aquatic.html?m=1

Wow! Hmm... The swatches of Mystical and Hot Tahiti look REALLY similar. This is making me rethink getting Mystical because I just bought Hot Tahiti a couple months ago.

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

I'll be staying in Corringham mainly but will more than likely venture into London and believe we'll be going to Southend as well. I'd like to fit a little trip into Brighton, but we'll see on that one. He's being stingy with letting me know all of what he has planned at the moment trying to be all fancy and what not so at the moment that's all I've been able to weasel out of his room-mate. Men. *sigh*

Could not resist it!
It looks very much like All That Glitters, which is one of my favourites eyeshadows and mine already has a pan showing, so yay
Mystical is also very pretty! I am so into those rosy lipsticks for everyday wear.
Few years ago I would definitely get Enchanted One, but I have Honeylove and I think it washes me out.
The packaging is soo pretty, I am totally in love

 

[beautycool]

Hi I ordered the compact in golden ))) Hope I made right choice x

 

[Rebellefleur]

My list so far Trying to keep it short haha
2 compacts
3 lipsticks: mystical & Enchanted one.. + a Backup of one of them
1 lipglass: Clear water or water deities
1 blush: Sea me, hear me
2-3 eyeshadows: Lorelei, Silver sun, Sea worship?

 

[MakeMeUp79]

So I have officially finished with this collection. I bought waaaaay to much but I love it all. Ended up with all 6 eyeshadows, a blush, 3 lipsticks n 3 glosses. I need a intervention

 

[Calina]

Does anyone have Surreal to compare to Silver Sun?

 

[SleepingBeauty]

Aphrodite's Shell and Sea Me, Hear Me arrived in the morning and I love them both! I'm about NC10 and Aphrodite's Shell needs a bit of layering but I don't mind because I tend to have a heavy hand so I'd rather have a less pigmented product. Sea Me, Hear Me is quite difficult to describe... it's kinda a brown pink or so.

I told myself I was just sticking to the lipsticks & glosses but the blushes are so pretty!!!I've never wore blush but these are making me change my mind...I don't wear any foundation or powder, just fill in my brows a bit & throw on a lippie...so do u ladies think just putting on a blush alone would work? I talked to a lady at mac & she said it wouldn't look right without a full face of makeup.

That is ridiculous! Of course you can wear blush without a full face of makeup. I wear foundation because I need to even out my complexion (I carry a lot of redness around my cheeks and nose), but I don't think people should wear a full face of foundation everyday if they don't need it, and you shouldn't have to wear a full face of foundation in order to wear blush. I don't know what that lady was thinking.
