I like all the eyeshadows from this collection. They are crazily pigmented and ideal for party/festive wear.

I was all out for Sea Me, Hear Me ever since it launched in the US, and glad that it got launched here too!

The two extra dimension bronzers are for INR 2100 each.
Aphrodite's Shell - Golden bronze with a fine touch of shimmer.

I couldn't manage to take the swatches since they didn't seem to show properly in the store lighting across my skin.

The 3 nail lacquers in this collection include -
Neptune - Frosty yellowish-antique gold with brown undertones.
