The top two are very similar, but the bottom two are just different enough...

my god, mac really needs to step things up. i feel like everything they've released this year has been unoriginal, and similar to several other things they've released in the past. even the new pigments were nothing special, and self-admittedly could be created by mixing old pigments together. these shadows are nothing new, which i suppose is good, since it'll mean i spend less money. sigh. hopefully. stuff from a muse and later lines will be better. i have some moderate hopes for the fall stuff, hopefully it won't disappoint like everything has since culturebloom.
and a big LOL to having to edit in that you made that quad in photoshop. i'd laugh if a widespread panic was caused by those looking for the 'turquatic' quad. hah.

Actually the Turquatic shadows don't look anything like the Sweetie Cake quad. If I were really trying - I could find other MAC shadows that they look like but not the Sweetie Cake quad (i.e. Purple Shower looks kinda like Stars and Rocket with a lot less purple and no iridescence)

i think that is what turned me off to the cool eyes patternmaker pallette. but i LOVE that purple(turquatic) man!

They do look close in the picture, but I got Turquatic and I swatched it and it is like a bluer version of aquadisiac. It doesn't have the greyish tint to it that sugar blue had on me. It was kinda like a robins egg blue with silver sparkle. Also, pink source is really pretty but I don't know what it would compare to. Those are the only two I have gotten my hands on so far!

I got all of them -at the Mac Pro- and I don't think that they look the same at all...
It's hard to tell on a computer as there are not so many colors on a computer due to the resolution sometimes...
But just by looking at the picture, it's obvious that the 2 bottom ones are very different.
The left top, Light ray, looks a lot different once you apply it: it is so shimmery, a bit like Prismique, but not the same color, more yellow, very much like a powder in terms of constitency though.
Pink Source is very pretty! A very soft shade, very shimmery too but not as powdery as Light ray.
Go try them to compare!

I've thought to myself that it seems like most of what they've had for a long time now is just tons of frosty teal-ish or pink/purple shades, and a lot seem similar. But I guess even with all the choices, people are still wanting Parrot so badly, if that's the color "family" and type of shadows desired by the majority of customers out there, that's what we're going to see the most of. I know that for myself, I'm pretty well stocked with plenty of teal/purple/pinks. I would like to see more sort of clay colors with less frost, and I'm looking forward to a few LE shades coming up that sound like what I'm wanting to see happen.
