MAC - Cult of Cherry Discussion

[seabird]

i'm so torn between quads gaaah. i can only afford one and i'm not sure whether to get tempting or spiced choc, because i have issues with nanogold and with sharp, so there's one 'problem' shadow in each. i think i'm leaning towards spiced chocolate because it's warmer? i don't know! i think the only other thing i'm going to get is blooming blush, dark lips just don't work for me.

I must have it!! You have absolutely gorgeous nails Adina!

I am SO glad that I am skipping most of CoC so I can stock up on OPI. I think the France collection may be the first one that I buy all the polishes from.

Ohhhh Erine!!! Question for you... Since you know all about my lip color phobias, do you think Rich and Ripe l/g will be too dark for my liking? I think the most color I am comfortable with is something like Tropic Glow Slimshine, to give you an idea. I know TG is brighter than R&R, but trying to decide if I would actually wear it

What do you think?

Yep, it is 3:40 PM here

I will just pick up one pigment from Overrich (Antique Green), so my wishlist for CoC is a bit longer:

Shadowy Lady Quad
Tempting Quad
Blush Blooming
l/g Rich & Ripe
l/g Cult of Cherry
l/g Cherry Blossom
nailpolish Illegal Purple

I think that's a good choice

Great choices!

I forgot about Antique Green! AHHHH!

We have lots of the same things on our lists...

My list now includes:

Definates:
Lightly Ripe l/s (B2M)
Cherry Blossom l/g
Blooming Blush

Maybes:
Rich and Ripe l/g
Shadowy Lady Quad (I probably will pass, but I am saving for it just in case)
Antique Green (Overrich) - I may just buy a sample first though as it will be a permanent PRO pigment

Okay I love this collection. I am so excited to try it out. But i am afraid i do not know how to use this collection. I love a smoky eye and light lip. But i am afraid of the dark lip color. I do not know how to wear the eyeshadows and the lips together. COULD someone help me with a little info? thanks

Did you take a look at the face charts? I'm using those as a guideline in how to put everything together. Mind you, I won't be purchasing the very dark lippies 'cause I can't pull off that look. My lips are large and dark, dark lip colors make them look enormous...Not a good look for me. But I am purchasing the lighter-colored lippies and incorporating them into the "Cult of Cherry" looks. I'm NW45, BTW.

i think it would be too much color for.

unless there's a miracle and you start loving the darker lips, i don't see you wearing it. go with cherry blossom! its a light pink so you won't be straying from you lip color love, and you'll be getting something lip-wise from this collection.

you might even wanna try out liquer. its got a bit of brownish-mauve to it, so it would be a safer color choice for you.

since you're very dark-lip phobic, try doing the darker eyes with dark, vampy nails instead of darker lips. definately check out the france opi collection. it equals LOVE!!!

that's really weird. normally darker colors make lips appear smaller.

jampacked is much more red based. kinda like actual red grapes-that color. pop mode is more purpley-plum.

I dunno, I'm more tolerant of bad shadows. I can't HANDLE Jewel Blue though. Why did I ever buy that color?
I'll reserve judgment for when I see it then.
So that sort of helps.

I'm not a big fan of neutrals in general either, so hopefully I'll like it too.

 

[glam8babe]

[darkishstar]

Okay, back to having high hopes for Spiced Chocolate then!

Awesome, thanks Erine! I was hoping it would be too dark so I could save $14

Oh, and I will definately be stocking up on OPI!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Sp i got confirmation that the items will be available to come home with me! Yay! I will def be swatching up a storm for you all, though it will be chaotic im sure!

 

[postcard]

Ok I resisted Starflash and I can't wait to get my hands on this collection. I love these colors! Red She Said will be another one! I talked myself out of Shadowy Lady quad while organizing my stuff last night but now I want it again! I must have So Scarlet and the two red lipglasses are calling my name. I'd squeeze in that blush blooming too if I could. Thursday morning I will hit the pro shop! *rubs hands together and gives an evil laugh*

Hi everyone. Has anybody seen the spiced chocolate quad in person yet?
I know some of you got invites to see it today. I'm dying to get it, but I want to know if its as pretty in person.
