MAC really knows how to sucker us into buying their products. I mean, can we talk about the packaging?! The Alluring Aquatic collection comes in a metallic teal colored packaging with realistic water droplets all over. Super unique! When I first saw this online, I honestly thought that it was actual drops to emphasize the aquatic theme, but nope, its actually on the package itself!

As far as lipsticks go, I only picked up 2 out of the 5 that were available. I also got one lipglass (out of 5 in total).

The Extra Dimension Eyeshadows in this collection are super pigmented, with the exception of Lorelei on my skin - but still such a pretty color. The darker shades are perfect for a smokey eye and has just the right amount of shimmer to it!

For the cheeks I got the Extra Dimension Bronzer in Aphrodite's Shell and the Extra Dimension Blush in Seduced At Sea. Aphrodite's Shell is a beautiful bronzer with pinky beige undertones and is light enough for fair skinned girls to wear - so to my fair skinned beauties: you can wear this without looking like you have patches of dirt on your face! Seduced At Sea is a gorgeous mauve-rosy color blush, and would complement a lot of skin tones.

Overall, I believe the quality of the product definitely matches its packaging, and is well worth the money. The entire collection is available in MAC stores and counters today (unfortunately it has sold out on the MAC website). It will also be available in Nordstorm, Macy's and Bloomingdales!
