So continuing from the posts before lets talk eye shadows, I can honestly say that I was super super superr impressed by these eye shadows and rather upset that I didn’t get all six of them. Similar to the other items in the collection the packaging was sea blue and had the 3D water droplets.
These eye shadows are extra dimension eye shadows, and are CRAZY pigmented with a long wear. Lorelei is a gold metallic coloured eye shadow and Soul serenade is a dark grey metallic eye shadow. Both eye shadows can be applied lightly for a less intense colour or can be layered to give a strong opaque metallic colour.

I use Lorelei lightly as a base colour during the day, or I spray my brush with studio fix and use the eye shadow all over the eye lid; spraying my brush with studio fix intensifies the colour of eye shadow and deepens the metallic colour. Soul Serenade is the eye shadow I always turn to when I choose to do a dark eye look, I might even say it’s my new favourite! These eye shadows retailed for £16.50 (GBP) each, I have not found any eye shadows similar to this in the mac range although I do think that there are similar eye shadows in the urban decay range.
The two lipsticks in the collection are the usual bullet shaped lipstick in the sea blue with the 3D water droplets.
Goddess of the sea is a dark violet colour with a cremesheen finish and has an opaque colour on the lips.
I use this lipstick with a soft purple or silver eye makeup. I usually find cremesheens quite hydrating for my lips although this seemed to dry after a while. This lipstick was a long lasting lipstick for me lasting from the beginning of a day until lunch time. This lipstick retailed for £16.50 (GBP), I have not found a similar lipstick colour in the mac collection.

Mystical is a mid rose colour with a cremesheen finish and has an opaque colour on the lips.
I use this lipstick with a soft eye makeup. I found that this lipstick was very hydrating and was long lasting throughout the day. This lipstick retailed for £16.50 (GBP), I have not found a similar lipstick colour in the mac collection.
