Goddess of the sea hand swatches bottom 1 swipe, top 3 swipes... Lip swatches (no makeup, natural lighting)

Another swatch of Mystical: Lana @lana__g | Websta

mia may @miamay13 | Websta

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?

Left to right: Goddess of the Sea, Pet Me Please, Mystical I'm loving the look of Pet Me Please!

There was so much to quote , but i'll keep it brief, I WANT IT ALL

Still not sure what to get! My current list consists of: L/S Goddess of the Sea (definitely) L/S Mystical (maybe) EDSB Aphrodite's Shell (maybe, only if it's really blush-like because it looks quite pinkish!) EDB Sea Me, Hear Me (maybe) EDB Seduced at Sea (probably not)

 

[SleepingBeauty]

EDB Seduced at Sea (probably not)

That's what I'm thinking as well. I didn't have Aphrodite's Shell on my list but now I'm considering getting it but to me it looks similar to neutral MAC blushes like The Perfect Cheek, Blushbaby, Tenderling, and such. If that's the case I won't get AS. Maybe someone who has both AS and some other neutral blush by MAC can help me out?

I can't wait to check out this collection in store! I want to see the eyeshadows especially. I've never tried the Extra Dimension formula so I'm pretty excited for that c:

You'll love the Extra Dimension! I have one from a previous release, it's fantastic!

Exactly! If someone can help us out, that would be super helpful!

My list : 2 or 3 lipsticks 1 ED powder cannot wait to see this beautiful coĺlec at my local MAC store !

I ordered a couple of things straight away so I didn't miss out - Goddess of the Sea and one of the bronzers. Unfortunately I was a dumbass and ordered Refined Golden instead of Golden, so that is going back (I swear the swatch for RG looked lighter than G on the site, grrr). The rest I will check out at my counter next week.

So I just have swatches of GotS. NW10 skin.

Lip swatch - this is a couple of layers. Needs layering to get full pigmentation, definitely feels like a cremesheen on to me though, it has that 'stickiness' I always associate with them. (Excuse the dry lips and no MU face!)



Comparisons - first pic is L-R: Commotion (Huggable), GotS, Plumful, Private Party



I thought I lost my Heavenly Hybrid but breathed a big sigh of relief when I found it! So this is GotS, Heavenly Hybrid, & Commotion again.

Oh you look pretty! :bigheart: And Aphrodite's Shell looks so so gorgeous in your swatch.

 

[Genn]

Lol I need a good nude lipliner too. What are some lipliners I should get?

I've been looking into buying a couple of lip liners too. I don't use them at all so I get overwhelmed every time I look. I have one that I never wear. Dervish from mac. I just like to put my l/s on and go.
