I think all of those things would work beautifully for you. Part of the greatness of this collection is that so much of it simply suits basically everyone!

Rich and Ripe has been my go-to gloss since I bought it

Although, what lipliner are you ladies wearing with RNR?

(I only have Spice).

Ok so I *finally* got my CoC haul, and it was so fun, especially since this is the first time I've been to a MAC store in 4 months! It was so weird, lol. 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.

Tempting Quad: I wore Sharp over Mosscape today and it was a beautiful combo, creating a mossy green color. Sharp can really come off either bright green or darker, depending on what you pair it with. Very versatile. Next to Nothing is also a great highlight color! Tempting is very blendable, and so is Dark Edge. I found Dark Edge to be creamy.

Bing Mattene: So dark! OMG it looks black on my lips! I'm NC20 though. But anyways, it is very dark, probably the darkest of the mattenes, and Vino lipliner looks good with this.

Kirsch Mattene: I thought I would like Bing the best, but seeing Kirsch in person definitely changed my mind! Now I realize why everyone was raving about it. It is a beautiful color, lighter than Bing, definitely easier to work with. Vino lipliner also worked underneath.

Jampacked: Looks just like Jam, but is totally hot! Looks great paired over Kirsch or even with a nude lipstick like Myth to bring out the color. So pretty!

Cult of Cherry: This looked pink on my lips, over Myth, but is very pretty in every way! I like it because I cannot for the life of me get red lipstick to get a good shape on my lips, so lipglass still lets me do the red but not look horrible!

Liquer: One of my favorites by far! Looks kind of brownish in the tube but applied very light as a mauve. Pretty!

Blooming: As NC20 this shows up really well, very pretty pink that brightens the cheeks and plays well with all the other "cult of cherry" looks.

Silverstruck lacquer: Unique mauve color, reminds me much of Smudged Violet in a bottle or something. Looks good as a thin layer over dark purple nail polish too (like Illegal Cargo).

All in all, I love the CoC!

Susanne, I must insist that you try the mattenes, the way you rock the red lip I'm certain they would look magnificent on you! They're surprisingly versatile.

Kay, I had my CoC makeover done today by my fav MA Margo.

I will post all the pics I took of the look in the fotd forum. But here is a lil teaser

She did the CoC Russian Red face chart but I opted to go for So Scarlet lips instead.

 

[Sario]

^^^ So Effing Hawt! OMG!

 

[clwkerric]

WOw!! you look beautiful Glam!!
What did you get from the collection?

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Thank you! =D

Well on the first day of the launch, I bought CoC lipglass and Rich & Ripe lipglass. Then I B2M So Scarlet.

Then today during the event, I just picked up Kirsch and omg I am in love with it! I couldn't get myself to get Bing though. Idk, I will still have to think about it. I also picked up SilverStruck which is gorgeous. And I know Spiced Chocolate can be SEMI duped. lol But honestly, its the hottest quad out of the collection. It nearly sold out today and I think it will by tonight at my counter. The things that were already sold out were:

Lightly Ripe l/s
Cherry Blossom l/g
Illegal Purple n/l

Wowwwwza! :-D

 

[rbella]

You look amazing!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[darkishstar]

Wow! You look amazing GlamYOURus!!!!!

And glad you like Kirsch.

Bing I don't think is necessary if you have Kirsch, they both were pretty similar on me, just with Bing being slightly more purple.

 

[Carrie Ann]

Wow, that looks amazing!

But it seems that the Spiced Chocolate Quad fits to brown eyes the most.

Or am I wrong?

I have blue-grey eyes and want Shadowy Lady Quad and Tempting Quad. I don't think that brown e/s suits me

 

[Carrie Ann]

Im not especially scared of the brown shades- more of the reddish and copperish shades...I really need to try and talk to the MA...but Im so unpatient

The video's very her signature quirky sex appeal, I love it.

Anybody knows the music in the video?

 

[Catatonia]

For those who have both lipglasses, is Cherry Blossom similar to Cultureclash? Is it worth getting CB if I already have a Cultureclash?

 

[Growing Wings]

I have a problem ladies... After paying all of my bills this month, I've realised I don't have an awful lot of money left over. I can either buy the lovely CoC makeup I've been after, or buy a train ticket to go visit my guy before I go back to uni (there will be 7 hours between us when I go back). I'm actually considering getting the makeup

GlamYourUs, you look fantastic!

 

[MzzRach]

Glam - that look is CoC-a-licious!!! You look stunning.

 

[meg_curls]

ew, my counter isn't having their event until September 12th. I bet most things will be sold out by them
