MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[ILoveMakeup84]

one of the only reasons this might not land in CCO's in too much volume, is the packaging.. lol. it's quite unique and most of the rabid collectors will want it for that alone.. that's why I want it.  I don't need another bronzer.  I don't need another blusher.. and the lippies are meh at best.  But the packaging

I agree! I know many are going to buy things just for the packaging! Maybe I should get 2 AS after all. The worst that could happen is that I give one to my mom in case I don't love it.

I fell in love with the Guerlain 4 Seasons bronzer and just bought it yesterday with the intention of skipping AS and Golden but now I may be back-pedaling. I'm still considering getting Golden but only after I see it IRL. I think I'll skip Mystical even though I own none of the colors people have done comparisons with (I plan to B2M for something similar later), leaving Goddess of the Sea as the last item on my list! I may do even better than my original one blush + one lipstick goal!

if you have guerlain you don't need golden.

 

[Naynadine]

it has more product 16gr compared to 6.8grams

I know, but it's the same shade.

if you have guerlain you don't need golden.

I only have one bronzer so I would like to have something less luxurious for daily use! Plus that compact...

 

[Monsy]

I know, but it's the same shade.

Well I understand if you have that shade already.
But you pay 50$ 6.8gr or 66$ for 16gr it's much better deal

and I was anyway eyeing shade number 2 so for me this is really good deal. i do not care about the pattern. I use my makeup I do not keep it to just look at it

I agree and second

besides the Givenchy bronzer is beautiful, so are the lipsticks. The Greek ? Euh yes

My Givenchy lippie collex is growing by leaps and bounds.. lol

Greeks.. you mean the thinkers or the Damians.. lol. They are horny devils

I just liked the design & packaging and was hoping for a new product altogether, but since it's just the regular bronzer I don't need it at all.

nope. If you do comps, you will find products within the $ 25-30 range, which can give a smiliar effect and won't get you thrown in the looney bin trying to hunt it down or stalking all nightompom:

Do you have any recommendations for similar bronzers in the permanent lines of other brands?

I have a question! I am pretty fair I don't know what I am in MAC spectrum as I don't wear foundation but I don't have ANY bronzers besides the bare minerals one and am looking to get one would golden be good for me or AS? Or both hahaha Here's a picture of me too see color wise

 

[stirfryedshana]

For light skin, Sephora's Limited Edition Sol de Rio bronzer is amazing. I actually bought two things of it to have as a BU. It's also literally the size of your hand for only $22.


So now my list for AA is definitely just Enchanted One and Mystical. I want GotS and some lipglasses but having money issues...even the two lipsticks is a stretch but I GOTTA HAVE THAT PACKAGING IN MY COLLECTION.

I have the discontinued Too Faced Aqua Bunny cream bronzer, and although it is dark in the pan, I found it very usable on my NC/NW 15-20 skintone. I like that it is a reddish bronzer. It mimics my natural tan really well. It is also water proof. I don't know why it was discontinued but maybe people were scared of how dark it looked in the pan. I also have Nars Laguna and Benefit Hoola.
