MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[Yazmin]

There are also bigger pics of the products on that site!

Now that I got that out of my system, here's my list:

All of EDES, except for Fathom's Deep
Modern Lure and Seducing Sound lipglasses
Both blushes (I'm hoping their close enough to Fiery Impact or Flaming Chic so I can't justify getting either one)
The darker of the two compacts
Tentative on the EDSFs (one looks like a slightly lighter version of Shape the Future - if that's the case, I can skip at least one)

Fortunately, I have some overtime coming this month, so I'll have to set those funds aside for this collection. #teamlow-buywhat?huh?

@ setting the record straight, I am not really young, lol. Actually I am now at my girlfriend's bday party stealing the venue, party planners, caterers etc for my mom's 50th bday party May 23rd. She just was a bit grown up too fast, lol. My mom is my bestie. I figure the quicker I get her party planning arrangements and stuff out of the way the more I can relax and try to allocate some funds towards this collection. Those PM's had me in hysterics!

I love most of this collection! getting four shadows, all compacts, three lipsticks, three glosses, and thats all i know so far for sure!!!

I would like to have Whisper of gilt EDSF (which is on my wishlist for a very long time) and in this packaging it would be amazing! And sorry girls if my english is not correct I am from Slovakia

Oh my gosh YES!!! I just had this thought this morning!! Sorry if my reply was a bit delayed...I have some catching up to do in these forums, haha. And your English is great!

I agree... It's kinda... Boring for that gorgeous packaging

I need all the compacts!! Blushes, bronzers, skinfinishes. all mine. gonna go crazy on this one, cuz i can!!! so pretty all of it. I like that its different than all the summer collections, keeps it interesting!!! And i LOVE the shadows they are to die for!!! NEED atleast four, but i will likely get all of them!!!! This after playland will be my biggest haul for the yr. winter stuff is so boring to me. even fall is a lil boring sometimes. so all summer all yr for me!

I can see what you mean. The colors don't really live up to the hype of the gorgeous packaging. By comparison, they are pretty mellow and neutral. That said, these are colors I am attracted to but don't have a lot of and they will fit right into my collection. I would have been excited about these colors almost as much if there were just regular packaging. The fact that there are a lot of items that I want in THIS packaging will just make the haul that much sweeter

This is going to be the collection that breaks my MAC no-buy. I haven't bought anything MAC since Punk Couture, but these are calling to me. I'd better start saving my coins now.

I'm serious. The lips aren't my type of colours. I prefer regular blushes over EDBs. The eye/lip liners are repromotes I'm sure. I will NOT buy small EDESs. I don't wear bronzer. EVER. I refuse to buy mac polish now. For what you get at that price, even with a pro discount, it's rediculous! The only thing that possibly interests me are the EDSFs, and that just depends on if the colours work on my skintone.

Idk if this question was already asked, but does anyone know the finish of the lippies? Look like satins to me but not sure....

Yes, some Specktrettes!

YESSS

For me it's all the compacts, 2 of the eyeshadows, all but one of the lippies, the lip liners, the glosses. Ugh I'm too lazy to even do the math on what it's going to cost me.

 

[Wolverina]

Anything oceanic gets an automatic fins up from me but EDES just leave me flat. Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for names and I feel like I'm just going to be knowingly fleeced by this collection.

That's the sad thing- I agree with all you wrote and only bought a bronzer(ever) from Mac to the Beach because I loved the design. The colors leave me flat and are probably low on the pigment spectrum which is a big turn off for me. The real question is- do I cave now or wait patiently until Specktrettes grow regretful and are looking to unload their impulse buys. I'm a cosmetic vulture, keeping the ecosystem healthy!

All we know so far is one is a matte and another is a frost. Hope this helps dear.

Have the names for the skin finishes or bronzers been posted yet? I was looking through the thread but haven't seen anything yet...
