They will make more money if you buy them as individuals. I don't see them making quads really anymore? It seems like they transitioned the duos in and now are favoring those.. :(

I dunno about that, really. They had three great quads for Shop/Cook earlier this year, and then they had duos last year with Colourizations. I think they'll keep it mixed up.

    those duos are a scam. there's always a crappy shadow that i dont like and they are so hard to depot. but i agree mac's credo now is MONEY!

Yeah, but nothing since or before in 2012 (I think, right?)... only 3 quads this year? They used to have a new one once a month! 

$40 for a quad with 4 shadows = $10 a shadow

$27.50 for a duo with 2 shadows = $13.75 a shadow

then if its a duo like the Culturalized one...with 2 perm colors. its actually cheaper to just buy 2 pro pans of them.

i would probably depot them anyway.

Oh ok the eyeshadows are bigger. I was about to say lol.

Yeah i know it's dazzleglass, but what gets me the packaging isn't all that why so much satin packaging? I hope there is going to be more pics as this collection gets closer to releasing.

did you see there is a way to get them out without heat? you can use a dropper and get alcohol under the pan (doesnt matter if it gets on the shadow, it will evaporate)...it eats through the glue and you can get them out without melting them.

A few months ago I bought one of those empty duo palettes (cuz I thought it was so cute) and it was $7. The same price as the empty quad palette. But now they're both $9. A $2 increase.

IDK, there's still the holiday and winter collections that we know nothing about. The Carine Roitfeld collection has quads, though they're not really quads...more like kits since there's a blush with the shadows. Anyway, we can't count our chickens yet until the year's out.

I'm coming in low too - just Deeply Adored and Love Goddess (Charmed I'm Sure will probably not work, like most balanced reds fail on me).

Zero need for the blushes and b/p.

I'm not sure. I know MAC had their price increase this month and so far the price is still the same.

Aside from Pure Zen (nudes of any shade look horrid on me; super pale, but with super pigmented lips), they all look beautiful.

 

Definitely after Scarlet Ibis (I missed all the IA products; no MAC store anywhere near me, and wasn't online at the right time) and Love Goddess. Not sure on Deeply Adored or Charmed I'm Sure. Need to swatch them in person to decide.

 

Given the prices, I have no interest in the eyeshadows, and the dazzleglasses are blah to me. I want to get either 1 blush or the beauty powder, but need to swatch before I decide which one.

Oh. I'm the same way! Nudes do NOT work for my skin nor my lips. I bought Pure zen.  It was actually really lovely. At first, i didn't think it was that pigmented. Then i swatched it again... It was really pretty and nice.  I think you should atleast swatch Pure Zen. It looks amazing with my skin!

I agree with that...Im also super pale and most nudes pull too orangey or brown on me or just look plain corpsey... there are very few that work for me and Pure Zen is one of them. Its basically a really light peachy tone but it works with my cool tones when most of them dont.

I think the next price increase is in January. Only four months away

It's a very nice lippie for pale NW complexions.

That's the one that came out in the cremesheen + pearl addition, isn't it? I will have to swatch at some point and see what I think. Thanks for the tip!
 

It's hard for me to get a good feel for nude lip products though because I only swatch MU on my hand. I've always gotten sick somewhat easily and have seen way too many gross things at my counter to risk trying otherwise, even with their disinfectants!

Agree and Shanghai Spice, beautiful too.

I'm already so broke. I will have to shop more selective from now on. Not just with MAC, but other brands as well.

Let me just say that I'm not hopeful...have there ever been quads released for holiday collections?

Call Me Bubbles I think is my most favorite quad ever.

no not quads, they do the 6 pan palettes

I keep hoping that I'll find one at a CCO but I don't know if it's just too early for them to be there or if they won't be there at all.

Sadly, I do not expect to see that one at a CCO. I hope to find a Shop & Drop quad but those have been sold out for a while too. The 3rd quad... um.. what was it called? I bet that will be there because it's still online and still on Nordstrom.  I'm actually shocked that they still have Lady Grey online too!
