The sponge applicator is not so good either, I found it a little rough (no big deal, I usually use my own beauty blender anyway, just the sponge for on-the-go). The compact I am not so keen on either, it's quite long and takes up quite a bit of room in my makeup or travel bag. I must make sure to have a well-hydrated base and use a really good primer with this one. What I don't like is that it can cling mercilessly to any faults, especially dry patches and fine lines. I love the silky formulation and how it just glides across the skin upon application and how it dries down so quickly to a powdery, dry, matte finish. I think it would be more suitable for someone with oilier skin. The nail lacquers also have a good formula, looking fully opaque in two coats and according to MAC MUA that have tested the shades they also are quite long lasting.I have this in shade Creamy Natural and must admit it doesn't work well for me with my normal-dry skin type. 233 Split Fibre Eye Shadow Brush – $25.00įrom this entire collection the eyeshadows are my favorite, especially the Fathoms Deep shade, they are all extremely pigmented, they apply on smoothly without fall-out and the texture is soft and smooth while the colors can be easily build up from sheer to intense pigmentation.MAC Alluring Aqua Extra Dimension Bronzer Swatches (L to R): Delphic, Aphrodite’s Shell Nail Lacquer – $17.50 / 75.00 Lei MAC Alluring Aqua Extra Dimension Bronzer (L to R): Delphic, Aphrodite’s Shell Delphic – Soft brick tan with a touch of fine shimmer.Aphrodite’s Shell – Golden bronze with a touch of fine shimmer.MAC Refined Golden Bronzing Powder Swatches Extra Dimension Bronzer – $33.00 / 167.00 Lei MAC Alluring Aqua Bronzing Powder (L to R): Refined Golden, Golden Golden – Muted golden tan-beige with shimmer (Permanent).Refined Golden – Finely spun golden with soft pearl (Permanent).Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner Swatchces (L to R): Black Line, Black Swan Bronzing Powder – $27.50 / 133.00 Lei MAC Alluring Aqua Lip Pencil Swatches (L to R): What Comes Naturally, Half-Red Black Swan – Black with pearl (Permanent).Black Line – Black with gold pearl (Permanent).Pearlgide Intense Eye Liner – $17.50 / 92.00 Lei What Comes Naturally – Light nude (Repromote).MAC Alluring Aqua Eyeshadow Swatches (L to R): Legendary Lure, Lorelei, Fathoms Deep, Sea Worship, Silver Sun Lip Pencil – $16.50 / 92.00 Lei Silver Sun – Mid-tone dirty sea foam green.MAC Alluring Aqua Lipglass Swatches (L to R): Modern Lure, Water Deities, Seducing Sound, Peachstock, Clear Water Extra Dimension Eye Shadow – $19.50 / 103 Lei MAC Alluring Aqua Lipglass (L to R): Modern Lure, Water Deities, Seducing Sound, Peachstock, Clear Water Modern Lure – Deep violet with pink pearl ).Peachstock – Creamy true nude (Repromote).Clear Water – Sheer nude with multidimensional pearl.MAC Alluring Aqua Lipsticks Swatches (L to R): Goddess of the Sea, Mystical, Pet Me Please, Siren Song Lipglass – $16.50/ 97.00 Lei MAC Alluring Aqua Lipsticks (L to R): Goddess of the Sea, Mystical, Pet Me Please, Siren Song Goddess Of The Sea – Dark vibrant violet (Cremesheen).Mystical – Mid-tone creamy rose (Cremesheen).Pet Me, Please – Light shimmering mauve (Frost) (Repromote).Romania Launch Date – Now at MAC Locations and MAC Pop-Up Store MAC Alluring Aqua Summer 2014 Collection Swatches Launch Date – Now online Launch Date – June 2014 at MAC Locations Unfortunately here in Romania the collection is incomplete as some of the products are missing: Soul Serenade Eyeshadow, Enchanted One Matte Lipstick, Shimmerfish Nail Lacquer, Alluring Aquatics Makeup Bag and the two Extra Dimension Blushes. It’s truly worth checking it out as it would be impossible not to find at least one favorite shade of lipgloss, lipsticks or eyeshadows which are to die for but also the cheek products. The collection is mostly based on nudes, gold, bronzed peaches and brick shades but also some dark and intense violets, burgundy and plums. The packaging is really really pretty, a metallic turquoise with a water drops that gives a fresh look to all the products and obviously this little extravagance will be reflected in the products’ price as they do cost a bit more than usual. This week at the event hosted by MAC Cosmetics for this new collection I managed to take photos, play a little bit with the new products and do some swatches. but only this week it became available in Romania as well. MAC Alluring Aqua Summer 2014 Collection (info / promo photos) has been on the counters for a while in U.S.
