ok your link totally answered my question without you knowing it. thanks!

anyone find a swatch of seduced at sea blush?

 

[Violasphere]

Can I join the swatch party? Wearing GotS, Sea Me, Hear Me & Golden (quite lightly). I LOVE the blush! It is such a gorgeous shade. I like GotS too but think I need a Lipliner to pull it off - any suggestions as to which shade?

Looks Gorgeous on You! Lip Pencil, I would think maybe "Beet" or Prolongwear in "Abslolutely It". Be warned the prolongwear lip pencils are more dry...to me anyway.

I should hopefully get my package on monday. I dont have a true mac shade but in the pro conceal and correct palette my closest shade is nc45. My true match foundations are Becca in Tobacco and Dior nude fluid dark beige 50. The only thing I have to swatch is mystical, I did buy the compact but plan to switch out the bronzer as I doubt it will work  

Thanks honey that will be great.

Welcome back, @HerGreyness! Missed you around these parts!

Thanks MACina!! I'm glad there's such a good collection coming out when I have a good excuse to spoil myself LOL

:con:    Rinstar :stars: Couldn' t think of a better reward

I noticed that too and the same thing with Mystical. I think I might have to try both in store to make sure they don't pull too brown on me.

 

[pinkpaint]

Video Review! She's a deeper medium skintone. She did swatches of the ED Bronzers and Blushes, and Enchanted One and Mystical. I've been subscribed to Shahleena for awhile and saw this pop up in my subscriptions. Hope it helps!

I don't know if I want Aphrodite's Shell now. It hardly shows up. But I will definitely be getting Refined Golden. The blushes are still a skip.

Up close on the lips

Looks great on you!

I'm not super in love with anything I've seen yet, I do like GotS but not enough to know it's a must have. The packaging is so gorgeous I wanted to be more excited for the actual products

 

[breatheonbeat]

I do love it because I love cosmo but they are basically the same thing lol

i think it will be in between cosmo and craving or fast play? it looks like it pulls a bit more pink than cosmo, but not a lot.
i havent tried cosmo, but for those of you worried if it will pull brown- EVERYTHING turns brown on me (creme cup??? lol) and craving does not, so you might be good. FWIW the mac cs girl said it should look like craving when i asked.






edit: side question; when you guys post pics, do you direct link or save first? i have been saving them; i feel funny about dl-ing, but does that usually cause trouble?

I'm glad I'm really underwhelmed by this collection, makes it easy to stick to my Low-Buy.

I'll stick to the two items I initially planned to get but I'm not tempted by anything else. EO looks dry to me and the colour seems dupeable too. I'm not really feeling Lorelei either and overall the ED finish still isn't appealing to me, I feel like there are far better formulas out there.
The only thing that's still looking good to me are the nail polishes, but I'll skip due to the price, plus I don't wear polish that often anymore.

the nail polishes are really pretty! i keep forgetting they exist because no one mentions them.

 

[SleepingBeauty]

The nail polishes are very pretty, indeed, but not worth the 16-17€ they cost in Germany. I bought the black one with glitter back from the Glamourdaze collection and it chips after one or two days and my polishes from essie last more than one week.
