MAC Sea Me Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush is one of two, limited edition blushes that launched with the MAC Alluring Aquatics Summer 2014 Collection.

I’m not a huge MAC Extra Dimension Blush as they have been terribly sheer. And for some odd reason I got it into my head they were supposed to have a metallic finish but they do not! I always though the Extra Dimension Blushes should have more glow, more pigment, more everything…but they never quite lived up to what I expected from them.

However, MAC Sea Me Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush changed my mind!

Don’t get too excited MAC Sea Me, Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush still doesn’t have the glow I was looking for but it does have a very gorgeous softly milled texture with excellent pigment. Thus far my experience with these blushes have been rather ho-hum in the pigment department but this shade packed nice buildable color that lasts all day.

MAC calls the shade a beige pink…I dunno what I call it. It’s sort of purple and rose but it swatches and applies on cheeks as a warmer dusky coral.

The color really changed my mind about the Extra Dimension Blush formula as it is super silky with an excellent, easy to blend formula that doesn’t contain a ton of shimmer but leaves behind a smooth, soft satiny finish.

I think MAC did a fabulous job with the Summer 2014 packaging. Each piece of makeup in the collection comes housed in an aqua metallic mirrored compact with little drops of raised “water” to give the compact a wet look. It’s one of my favorite limited edition packaging to date.

It doesn’t exactly have the glow and metallic finish I expected from Extra Dimension Blush but Sea Me Hear Me will change your mind if you’ve had issues with this blush formula in the past. This one is a go for purchase. It’s testimony to the beauty of a MAC Blush’s formula!

    I have Seduced by the Sea and feel the same as you. These seem much better than previous ones. The kind of MAC blush we know and love. Seduced … has lots of pigment too and goes on nicely. It’s a win as is that super neat packaging.

      right? the last few have lacked pigment in a major way but it looks like these are working out quite well! I want Seduced by the Sea myself!

    First MAC collection I’m drawn to. Everything looks gorgeous. And the packaging? (sigh) dreamy. Love it. I definitely want several pieces from this one. I hope MAC continues with such beautiful packaging, colors that appeal to many and quality of product.
