Aww, thanks, Sweetie! I think it's the smokey eye (I used MAC charcoal brown and UD Crave eyeliner smudged out). Smokey looks always seems to bring my eyes out.

Can any of you ladies tell me when Nordstrom will be posting this collection online... :/ had a family emergency, so I wasn't able to purchase the items on my list.

I played quickly with my beautiful goodies after work today.
Okay, #1...The eyeshadows! Like everyone seems to be saying, they are amazing. And I want the rest of them. I only got Silver Sun, Sea Worship, &Lorelei. I know I will enjoy wearing these and they will be sitting out with my daily makeup stash to make sure I use them. I would like to get LL &Fathom's Deep now.
I got PMP &Mystical. PMP is okay IMO. I don't love it, but Clearwater over the top makes it look a lot better. My lips looked luscious with the combination. Mystical is nice. It's like my lips if my lips were deeper and rosier. But, I could have passed on it. On both of them, actually. Clearwater is amazing. I don't usually go for lipglasses (esp. clear ones for some reason) but my, oh, my the tiny pink sparkles in it have me glad I purchased it.
Sea Me, Hear Me is lovely! I applied some today (though my makeup wasn't fresh) and it was like a nice medium rose pink color on my cheeks. I was on the fence and unsure of which blush to get. I'm happy with this one.
And of course...the packaging is gorgeous and unique, but this has been said many times.
Also, I think the 127 brush seems to be of decent quality. I find it to be very soft.

Alright Mandy! Lol saw your video and I have to say those three lipsticks are beautiful on you!
Also you looked quite gorgeous aswell.
I really enjoyed PMP on you. It was mauvey rose on you and I thought it looked very retro! Yes the 90's can be retro lol.
I liked the laying with PMP on top of the other two. I think PMP is still on my list.

Aww, thanks, Dolly! I'm glad you liked it! We have pretty similar coloring so I think it will be great on you! I'm loving the trip back to the 90's! Haha!

I'm actually really liking PMP. I kind of regret not getting Silver Sun. I think it might be somewhat similar to Urban Decay Money which I have in a palette. I think LL would be beautiful, too. You should get it, and please post swatches!

I was curious about a comparison between Lorelei and Melon pigment... Can someone let me know how they compare? I wasn't smart enough to search for an overnight code when I ordered my goodies so I have to wait til my pretties arrive Thursday

I think I may need to check out that eyeshadow when I'm not overwhelmed by collections. I think we have similar eye colors. Looks great on you!

Nordstrom usually launches PST, since they are Seattle based, generally stuff starts going up right around midnight Pacific time when I have been up waiting.

AS came today. I didn't really have much time to play with it. It's far to dark to bronze my face up, But it'll be a beautiful blush.
It kinda reminds me of a more pink and muted version of my beloved LM ritual bronzer.
I'm starting to eye SS. it does look really beautiful.

thats disappointing
at my nordstrom they are able to presell me everything i wanted
my SA has my card on file and charges everything on launch day and I can pick up anytime after that
the only collection they weren't allowed to presell was riri last year
edit: speak of the devil! my SA just texted me that they got their stock of aqua and she is pulling my lippies!

I just had a totally random thought about this collection. I think it's interesting how everything has an ocean themed name except for Delphic and Aphrodite's Shell (I know that one kind of does too but it's different enough), I'm wondering if maybe this collection originally started off as a Greek goddess theme (which I would LOVE) and then they took it in the water direction. I know the shell name probably comes from the Birth of Venus but the oracles of Delphi have nothing to do with water. Just a thought! lol

I *think* I am finally caught up on this thread! woo!
But I am surprised. I was expecting more screwups proenzagate style. Whoever runs the specktra insta (mosha?) posted that they had some mishaps so I expected to come in here and find some!
