You want Enigma! It is creamy, pigmented, and wearable both day and night!
MAC doesn't excite me much any more. On the other hand, Chanel keeps me excited and satisfied with their products, leaving me wanting more.

Hey hey everyone!
Haven't had much time lately to come on, super busy at work and trying to get in some extra hours before we move!

Hi Cheryl!
I do!!! I have yet to wear it, but atm I want something a bit lighter.

I'm going to check out the Dior addict l/s, there were a few shades that I saw on Karlasugar that may work. I'll let you know if I find anything!

Hate to enable, but I am so happy with this quad as well! It's just so quick and easy to use, which is huge for me! I haven't even touched the purple shade yet, waiting for the cooler weather for that one. I highly recommend it, and definitely worth the money!
I hear ya on getting ready for school. My baby girl will be starting this year, and it's definitely bitter sweet, but also meant twice the shopping compared to last year! I even picked up their winter coats already at the Gap's f&f sale!

I've made a point of staying away from the MAC threads!!! I haven't even had the slightest itch lately to go by MAC, even though I've passed either a counter or a f/s store many times in my travels the last few weeks! Funny how most of us have shifted our attention to Chanel!

In the meantime I got Rivoli and Rouge Noir Rouge Cocos and Fatale and Exces Extrait de glosses! Love them all.

They had a preview at my counter. So I don't know if you've all seen the products too. But...
-I think you all may like the Blush palette but it didn't seem all that special to me. Plus the blush portion was so small it seemed like highlighter would get everywhere.
-I wasn't too impressed by the look of the quad but it might swatch well. Actually the more I think about it the more I'm setting money aside.
-I didn't see the Rouge Coco/RAL but they sound exciting!
-The Glossimer is GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS, it's what I was hoping the Rodarte-MAC lipglosses would look like. I just hope it's as nice on the lips. It looked more lilac marbled with pink?
-I'm still on the fence with the nails, Strong looks like it'll be dubaple for any dark red OPI shimmer and it looks like Steel might turn into a cult-fave but I just bought an ORLY that seems similar.

I had to google mystic eyes but I'd say Soho's is significantly different.
The top brown isn't as blackened as the Mystic Eye's version.
The pink isn't as white.
The silver, is not a silver IMO at all. This was the one colour that stood out to me and made me go :O, "must have quad." I can't quite place the name though, let's just call it Tea Green. I googled 'names of light green' and then found that colour on Wikipedia if you want to see it. LOL.
The light sort of beige is definitely nothing like the brown of Mystic Eyes.
Sorry, I'm really bad at thinking of dupes. But yeah sorry your going to shell out 60 bucks for this baby. He's NICE. I'm going to go again Tuesday and be back with better details.

I love the swatch!
Khaki Rose is so neutral chic!
I'm least attracted to Khaki Brun, so let's see if I will pass when I see it iRL.
That Soho quad does look like a cousin of Mystic eyes to me. Thanks for pointing out the differences, TheTeenageMuse, you are right. However, since it is only available online, I guess I'm not going to get my hands on this collection.
I wore Pink Explosion for the first time yesterday and I fell in love with it. It is a happy, face brightening pink! I love Chintz too, so glad I purchased it. But I kept thinking about Rose Dentelle too, do I need it? Or should I wait for Magnolia RC from the holiday collection?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Temptalia has swatches of Marine and Jade eyeliner. Her swatches look bright - Marine didn't look this bright to me previously. Nevertheless, Jade looks beautiful.
I just applied Paradoxal and it has this mysterious sheen when it captures light that draws me in. It applies so smoothly too, I skipped the top coat! I keep staring at my nails.
