Hello beauties!
MAC Alluring Aqua Summer 2014 Collection (info / promo photos) has been on the counters for a while in U.S. but only this week it became available in Romania as well. 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. 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. The collection is mostly based on nudes, gold, bronzed peaches and brick shades but also some dark and intense violets, burgundy and plums.
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. 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.

From 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.
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.

amazing collection 🙂
Love the swatches too…really great job
Thank you Loris! I really tried to get the best photos to show the swatches the best I could. This collection is so customer-friendly and I guess it will be easy for everyone to find at least one favorite shade or product. 🙂
