Anyways here are my much-belated thoughts: Shadowy Lady Quad: This was as pretty as I had hoped it would be! Smudged Violet is a great color, similar to Trax in that it is kind of like a shimmery purple, but this is a gray-blue purple vs. trax which is warmer and seems to be more red based. Lightfall is also a well-pigmented, very pretty color. Smudged Violet can also look great as a light sweep of color over Shadowy Lady. All in all, I love the CoC!

I'm actually considering getting the makeup 
GlamYourUs, you look fantastic! |

I would say Spiced Chocolate. Amazing on blue eyes IMO, and buildable from a subtle look to super dramatic.

Im damn happy, hearing that. Because Im NC15 with blue/green eyes, too and Im so excited watching all the things tomorrow, when CoC releases in GER. At the moment, I cannot say, which quad I like most: Tempting or Spiced chocolate...

No, I don't think that they are similar. Cherry Blossom is more like Sugar Trance from Fafi.
Sugar Trance (F) - Creamy soft pink with white and rainbow pearl (LE)
Culture Clash - Frosty clear baby pink with multi-dimensional pearl (Frost) (LE)
Cherry Blossom - Sheer light pink with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments (Frost) (LE)
For me Cultureclash is more pink

Mmmm, they are both gorgeous. You may have to get both.
Honestly, all the quads are fabulous. Shadowy Lady is also amazing! I did not think I would go bananas for all three, but that's how things ended up.....

I'm having MAJOR second thoughts on the Shadowy Lady Quad which kinda pisses me off! Should I just get it since I don't own either Deep Truth or Shadowy Lady? I don't have much purples because usually, they don't show up on me. Does Smudged Violet have a good colour payoff?
and btw, I'm NC 30 with brown asian eyes
Any help is appreciated!

Umm... can I just tell you guys that Shadowy Lady might be my favorite quad of all three?? I wore it the other day and it was just SOOO freaking beautiful and subtle but enough drama and just omg.
I had Lightfall on the inner lid, Smudged Violet on the outer lid, Shadowy Lady in the crease, and Deep truth lining the bottom lashes. Omg, so freakin' pretty. Smudged Violet is such a winner. It's got a Lustre-y feel, but it really adheres well and is pretty buildable. And I didn't touch up all day and I came home and my lid was a little bit faded, but had this gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous pearlized frosty sparkle and it was just sooo pretty. I just can't even stand it.
I thought I would hate it but the colors work so well. You just gotta grab a 5th color for highlighting. I chose Shroom. Omg. I think I forgive Deep Truth and Shadowy Lady for being repromoted so much just because the quad works so well together!!

i agree. if you wanna make the blue pop, then go with spiced chocolate. but, if you wanna pop the green, go with shadowy lady. it just depends on which eye color you really wanna work!
Quote:
yes it does have great color payoff. its not intense, its not dull, its just, there. its a grey-ish purple with gold flecks. basically, a more purple-y mauvment, minus all the taupe. simply beautious!

and you told deep truth to die! i love deep truth. its tied with contrast as my favorite blue. now if only mac would bring back night owl and come up with the perfect denim blue that apparently only exists in my head.
