MAC - Cult of Cherry Discussion

[abbyquack]

I love the look of the Spiced Chocolate quad, but I'm worried that the one color looks too much like Cranberry and the other one (Brash?) looks like Coppering. Two of my favorite colors, but I really don't need to buy it if I have them. Thus Nanogold is the only other one I want...do you guys think Cranberry and Coppering are easy dupes?

Also, is Signed Sealed or Shadowy Lady a better e/s? General consensus here...

I have never tried Signed Sealed, but Shadowy Lady is a gorgeous color, it's just IMPOSSIBLE to blend

Signed & Sealed is an awesome blendable deep rich gorgeous color. Shadowy Lady is pretty but not blendable ever in my life. I wish it would be discontinued or something. Along with Deep Truth!

you hold your tongue mister!

 

[Winthrop44]

Thank you Erine! I would be verrrry upset if they discontinued Shadowy Lady! It is *the* perfect purple/plum for my eyes.

 

[kobri]

Is Brash close to Coppering?

 

[Susanne]

Now I start thinking about getting also Tempting Quad

I still have Next to Nothing from the Smoking Eyes Quad last year, but I really like the rose and green color here!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Wheres my invite mac? Come on, you know I love you!

 

[MAC_Fafinette14]

I love this collection, especially the dramatic red lips! I'm also considering either the Tempting (Sharp flippin' rocks) or Spiced Chocolate Quad (Sweet Chestnut and Brash are beautiful). The Shadowy Lady Quad also is lovely, but the only colour I really like in that one is Smudged Violet, which brings me to this question:
What eyeshadows (permanent collection) would or could be dupes for Smudged Violet?

This'll be the perfect time to break out my Plum Pair then. I haven't touched it since I got it! More b/c I'm lazy w/ touchups, lol. Love that vampy look, just gotta get that dang application down.

Maybe I'll keep my appointment for it after all... just that the September/October collections look so fun too!

I am already planning on ALL 3 quads, but that description makes me even more excited! Plus a few of the lipsticks, lipglasses, maybe my first mattene...and probably the nail lacquers. Ugh! This release is going to wreck havoc especially since I plan on getting all of the pigments from Overrich too! MAC overload...MAC heaven!

 

[panda0410]

Ahhhhhh - just saw the last lot of lippie swatches for this and I swear I must have them - I am such a sucker for lipsticks, and these are gorgeous!! I *might* even get the lipglasses!

 

[aimee]

i will just get one quad (tempting)
and maybe the cherry blossom lipglass and the lightly ripe lipstick
the other lipsticks are to dark for my taste
my MAC MA signed me up for the cult of cherry promo event though and im excited

 

[Winthrop44]

I love this collection. Just thinking about it puts me in a good mood when I'm in a bad one, lol! I'm definitely getting the Shadowy Lady quad, maybe Spiced Chocolate, plus Cherry Blossom, Rich & Ripe, Lightly Ripe, and at least one of the mattenes...I'll have to see those in person.

 

[aimee]

oh and ladies my MA showed me the book (or mag) with the COC Face Charts
definately sultry and sexy looks

 

[xoshopaholicxo]

the colors are a tad dark for me but i really like the blooming blush & deep truth e/s! Have to def. check them out in person.

There isn't one. And, I'm pretty sure thats what erine said earlier somewhere in this thread.

Wow, I just saw the newest swatch pics - I'm so in love with Lightly Ripe, Rich & Ripe, & Cherry Blossom!!! Those are gorgeous
