I want to wear it and look lovely...but I just dont think I can

You can! I'm somewhat in the same position and wore it to see my husband's reaction. He said it was nice but not he's not used to me wearing color. I'm going to try and wear it more often though. (And yes, I do have a picture

)

I asked how the heck they had so many left, and I got so irritated cuz 2 of the 3 girls didn't even know what the S.C. Quad was!!! ggrrr!! it looked like they were just covering from Bobbi Brown or whatever was close, but i dunno. if u need the store's info, lemme know.

^I've been wanting Spiced Chocolate for awhile and I really want that quad!

I did the same thing....But then I decided to wear it one morning to church just for kicks and my dh feel in love with it...I apply it VERY lightly over another darker matte red lipstick...I honestly don't like it solo too shiney

COC is tied with Moonbathe as my favorite MAC collection ever.

All of the eye colors, blush, and lip products coordinate so well with each other that getting it to look good on is a no brainer.

The only product I regret getting is the So Scarlet. It is a pretty color but I am pale NW 20 so when I wear this all I see is lips.

My favorite quad is Spiced Choc.....these colors are amazing w/my blue green eyes.

I swore no more backups but I'm definitely considering getting back ups of the glosses. It's rare that I find darker glosses that I like on me.

I loved this collection a little too much. Bought tons of backups which are collecting dust in my traincase. Sending them to the Bin to find good homes.

Call them. That way you're certain it's the real thing and all will be good.

Everytime I wear red lips, my husbands says "OMG, are you lips bleeding?" He friggin' hates how it looks on me. I have yet to find a red that doesn't scream "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M WEARING RED LIPSTICK". I'm still trying, though. I find that I like Lightly Ripe with Rich and Ripe b/c it feels darker than usual and is on the cusp of red.

Lightly Ripe turns a subdued red on my lips. Body chemistry hard at work, yo!

I guess the only lipstick my b/f really likes on me is Viva Glam I. At least this was the one he let me know

My DH likes Cherry Chapstick on my lips. How pathetic is that? I have to remind him that doesn't count.

 

[hawaii02]

Men are so simple, no??

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Thats a good thing

 

[hawaii02]

True, but my DH would rather kiss me anywhere else when I'm wearing gloss

FYI I have gotten LE items thru Gone But Not Forgotten, including Lucky Green (which I ended up hating BTW, lol), so give it a try!
