lol, oops. I should have clarified. Nothing that I wanted had sold out yet. :)

Hahaha, yes, totally different! Same here! I wonder if anything else will sell out? Like Firebird and the pink PatentPolish since they're also online-exclusives? Maybe not. Then again who knows.

I bought Hot Chocolate at the counter today. SA said that this collection has sold more than any in the past year. I went an hour before close and bought the last HC (they got 12), and they had already sold both quads.

I thought about Arrowhead but preferred the way Fleshpot looked on me. I will also just purchase Electric Eel instead of Wild Horses because I already have Brule and Charcoal Brown.

Blush swatches:

Hipness, Painted Canyon, Spellbinder

View attachment 54283

I forgot to include Spring Flock, but it is about the same lightness as Spellbinder but more pink.

Bronzers:

Golden Rinse, Firebrush

If I had to pick one, I'd still pick GR, but I'm happy to have both.

Sorry for the crappy evening light! I hope it's still helpful to someone. I'm MAC N1 in Face & Body.

thanks for this! I like both GR and firebrush they are pretty in their own way :) can't wait for firebrush to launch online here which is so weird since it launched already on counter-sites.

Second row: Tumbleweed (it swatches warm-toned nearly invisible), Caravamp, Teen Dream, and Desert Evening (which also swatches cool-toned nearly invisible)

Top row that has nothing to do with VB: Dddevilish, Cloud Gait, Be Silly (Mac Plaza still has it), Vermillion Vee.

I bought Caravamp in store and looks a million times better on lips than on my arm, same goes for Teen Dream (have it in regular packaging) which is coral-pink on my lips. Desert Evening looked better on my lips but it's one of those sheer shades that you either love it or hate it. Tumbleweed is my only skip because it was nearly invisible on my lips and basically useless. Hot Chocolate, Painted Sunset, the Painted Canyon quad, the Adobe brick? blush, and one of the regular bronzers are going to be major sellouts in stores. Arrowhead is basically concealer lips and needs a lip liner to make it look good.

Tbh, I don't like the matte beige packaging at all. Alluring Aquatics wins best packaging of all time.

My order with Hot Chocolate, Desert Evening, and Rio Grande Romance are on their way and they arrive next Friday. I swatched Gleamstones and Wild Horses and fell in love at first makeup. I opted to buy Gleamstones online and I'll wait for Wild Horses by the end of the month. The blushes are skip because they look too intense for my liking. Golden Rinse looked nice and subtle (I prefer those for bronzers) but idk if it's good for my NW20-22 skin.

Just a heads up ladies Dunes at Dusk Gleamtones Powder is similar to Sparkling Rose Iridescent Powder up in blending out. DAD is pinker and seems to have a better formula. It's smoother and blends out better than SR all while keeping its slightly warmer pink-champagne vibe where SR is more of a true cool icy champagne.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone that has dunes at dusk could take a photo of the ingredients for me. I would really love to buy it but I have allergies and I want to make sure it would be ok with my skin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

Most of my base makeup was fading, and my hair is whatevs, but I want you to see the look my Macy's Mac gal did on me with WH. My face is a mess from a harsh mask, but at least you know no filter, lol.

The blue is lining the lower lid. She used the techikohl and put the blue over it. They're almost the same color, so it wasn't necessary, but it amped it up.

All I can say is GORGEOUS!!!!

Got my HC in the mail yesterday and I am in love. The texture is so lovely too. I went in the store yesterday to swatch the Gleamtones powder and wasn't impressed. Too frosty for me and nothing new. Sorry the pic is sideways...don't know how to fix it!

I returned the Gleamtones powder!!! After going through my stash I found a Wet N Wild striped illuminator that cost me $3.99 at CVS and gave pretty much the same results after blending out... I have too much makeup but I always want more lol :)

It's not letting me reply to anyone :( everyone looks beautiful in their pictures! I thought I saw that painted sunset had sold out but I guess not. I'm surprised all the lipsticks are still there.

So I went back to Nordies and talked to my fave mua. I liked the quad with the Peach in it but I know I have that color.
I like the potential of tana-whatever, just don't know what I'd do with it. I got my hot chocolate . Not sure I like it, or I am being bratty girl again? Lol

All my items came! I'm really happy with everything so far just from swatching, planning on wearing Call of the Canyon and Arrowhead out tonight

Sorry the pic is sideways bc I'm on my phone, swatches left to right are Call of the Canyon quad, Arrowhead and Hot Chocolate. I'm NW 10 for reference. The nail polish is really pretty too! Maybe I'll use that tomorrow
