MAC's newest collection - Alluring Aquatic - is encased in beautiful teal packaging with real life water droplets.

Here is what MAC has to say about the Alluring Aquatic Colour Collection....
Sirens of the deep inspire an aquascape of shades, as waves of tarnished olive, seafoam and darkened plum surrender to water’s enticing spirit. Sultry eyes take on a subtle radiance, while luminous Extra Dimension Blush washes over cheeks, creating a goddess glow.
