I saw Jampacked on lips a couple of different places & it looks so pretty. And, it really wasn't even that dark on. One sheer coat should give you a nice light berry tint

Most of the pics/swatches of Kirsch look really nice too. I'm on the fence about it pending more pictures. Bing is absolutely gorgeous, I'm so glad that I got it. It doesn't have to be worn extremely dark. I'm going to get So Scarlet too. I think I can wear a light application of that one too.

And, I'm not saving these colors just for a special night out or something. I'm wearing them with jeans and a white tee or shirt - in the day

That's what I am thinking about Jampacked too. And I missed it, do you already have Bing? What do you think of it? It is more plummy/berry than red?

 

[gigglegirl]

woohoo thanks elegant-one for the comments on jampacked. i'm so sold!

two quads, two l/g are on the list already for me. *sigh* i thought i was skipping this.

but...I am UBER psyched for what I want...so pretty!! i can't wait to dye my hair egyptian purple again!!! after this collection, the next thing I'm buying is prob not til the end of Oct--the red she said mes trios. *fingers crossed* Ill stay strong!

Yes, I already have Bing & it is a gorgeous eggplant plummy berry color. I just barely dabbed it onto my lips & it gave a light stain. And, I noticed that the color really made my eye color pop. I think it would look good on you...but it would depend on if you felt comfortable wearing it. But hey, maybe you would just love it for a new look

And, I was thinking that you could use the Cherry Blossom or a lighter gloss over any of the darker shades including So Scarlett for a lighter dimensional shade. I thought about that because today I wore a light application of Port Red with my lips lightly lined in a nude shade & then used Sugar Trance over it...ahh, it was so light & day-pretty. I loved how it looked

I was surprised at how light it looked on the gals lips..a pretty light subtle berry color. She stated how she was just as surprised. I've not heard even 1 bad comment about Jampacked from those that have seen it or already own it.

Golly, you're so happy hyper these days about your makeup - its so cute

Yay! This is great news, I'm glad you like it that much! The other day I ordered YDKJ and two of the China Glaze Rodeo Diva colors!

I just checked them out. Thanks for posting! I wasn't sure if this one would work for me, I had a little ? next to it in my Coc list, but I'm thinking I might give it a go, it looks fab on you. I remember I had a lippie very similar to that from MAC way back in the day but it went bad and I used it for a B2M instead. I could definitely replace that color with Kirsch. I'm getting excited! 4 days to go!

Ok everyone, so from your experience do quads generally sell out pretty quickly? I have the option to order these online or wait a week and get them from a counter - basically both options will take the same amt of time to receive, but by going to a counter i can see the quads IRL. On the other hand, I don't want to risk not getting the ones I want...do you think they could sell out within the first week?

i do think all of these quads will sell out within the week. atleast at my counter.

 

[peacelover18]

Based on past collections, they don't sell out fast online. The Gentle Fumes quad from the Smoke Signals collection which came out last August was on the website until March or April, iirc. Although maybe these will sell a little faster than usual. I predict that the last quad to sell out will be the Shadowy Lady quad.

 

[abbyquack]

Ok I will probably just play it safe and get it online, since I've had generally good luck this summer just viewing swatches from my awesome specktralites! I don't want to risk missing out on this collection! Plus I'm going to invest in Vanilla pigment b/c I've heard it's a must-have and I can't get that at a Nordstrom counter, now can i?

 

[ktdetails]

is the CoC collection not going to be on the maccosmetics.com website until thursday or will it pop up a couple days before the instore release?

 

[damsel]

it will available 2 days before, so tuesday.

 

[abbyquack]

should be on the site on tuesday am!

 

[SMMY]

I've got my final list now (and game plan)
Online Tuesday morning: So Scarlett lipstick and Cult of Cherry lipglass
Thursday in store:
B2M for a second cult of Cherry lipglass, Jampacked and Rich and Ripe. Maybe Kirsch or Bing as well. Or even Lightly Ripe. I'm still not sure yet. So many pretty lippies, it is difficult to choose.
Then pick up Spiced Chocolates and either the Shadowy Lady quad or Plum du Bois blush. I'm trying to show restraint, but I won't be surprised if I end up with all three quads. This collection has really caught my fancy. If this collection were a man, I'd wine it and dine it.

urm, that sounded more naughty than I intended.

 

[damsel]

sharp e/s is featured in the september issue of allure. it's under the heading "Color of the Moment: Chartreuse." chartreuse eye shadows have apparently been featured in a number of runway shows. there is also a pic of a model wearing it with dark berry red lips. yay! tempting quad.

 

[coachkitten]

That article in Allure totally got me excited for that shadow! They made it seem really wearable so I am excited to start playing with different looks.

 

[bella1342]

Cool, my list is almost exactly like yours. My definites now are CoC l/g, Jampacked l/g, Lightly Ripe l/s (this was originally the ONLY thing I wanted from this collection) Kirsch and Bing mattenes... yeah I'm getting both. I have no restraint. I'm decided I'm ordering the lippies online.

I'm undecided on Shadowly Lady too (I want it only for smudged violet.. so I think I might end up skipping it..we'll see) and Spiced Chocolate... and the Plum blush as well. I'll have to go to the counter to check them out in person.

I *might* add Creme Cerise and So Scarlet l/s if I like them in person but I'll b2mac for them. I have about 60 empty pots to use up.

I can't wait. I can't believe I'm saying that. MAC really sucked me in this year. I guess I'm making up for not liking and buying much last year.

[rocking chick]

I want ALL THE QUADS, the 2 nail lacquers and also Jampacked. And I think I might need a backup of Spiced Chocolate or Tempting quad though.

 

[oddinary]

Which lipglass, lipstick combo will compliment each other?

TIA!
