These were the swatches that convinced me I had to have this! (from: http://www.beautyjunkiesunite.com/WP/2012/09/20/reviews-swatches-photos-mac-carine-roitfeld-collection-fall-desert-camouflage-full-face-kit-good-luck-star-stencils/)

A far cry from the swatches on T. I love this palette and reach for it often. It looks like sales will spike now. It's still on MAC & Nordstrom.

GIRL!!! I just might have to...

I got magenta, dervish (Liba's fault), plum, currant, and plum. I went to Ulta and got some NYX liners also, prune, plum, currant and blackberry. With my orders I got nightmoth, and embrace me.

Go for it Prettypackages. It's great for travel...overnight or otherwise.
I'm in a silly mood...I didn't get a "bush" with mine...only a blush...sorry MG I couldn't resist.

shhh! don't tell anyone! LOL

I just felt like I had these colors. Did anyone with a huge collex think the same? I have the naked 1 palette, tempting, and various colors like that. (my mind went blank)

What eye look are you guys doing with FF? I'm thinking of using it for NYE and I'm playing around with dark colors for my eyes but I'm still not too sure about that!

A very soft eye, classic nude with a winged liner. Add a lil bit of shimmer/sparkle on the eye if you'd like. But don't go dark on the eye!

....it is such a beautiful palette!!!

I would have backed it up if there was no cream blush included.I really like the blush but I cannot use it up fast enough.

I hear you Prettypackages! I have Naked 1 and 11 full MAC pro eye shadow palettes too, but just having these colors together this way negates the need for you to think about what colors to put together. That's fun too, but there are times when you need to get it done fast, quick & in a hurry.

I went to the mall yesterday and decided to pass on the All Woman quad after all. I'd probably pick up the Carine Roitfeld Desert Camouflage quad if it didn't have the blush. That means I'm done with this collection, save for if I can grab another Party Parrot lipstick during a restock.

If you bought the Carine Roitfeld quads, you *might* skip AW and IS quads. While they are not exact dupe, they come close in color scheme. I still prefer the CR quads though as the texture is just lovely + it comes with a blush in an awesome color.
Egads, this thread is L---O---N----G!!
I was thinking to skip and just get the other CR palette (I have Desert and <3 it, but somehow I know the quad h00r in me will rebel and I will go chasing these down later) and its hard because erine and liba are such enablers I tells yah

Does anyone have Seeds of Desire mattene and Firm Form and can compare or swatch the two head to head? (or lip to lip???)

The Strength quads will certainly show up at CCO's. CR might be more difficult to find.

And if you have enough $$$, get all four of them :)

I was a bit bummed when I noticed that Mac Canada sold out of the desert quad. Thought it's been a while since it was released so I shouldn't be surprised.
I seem to recall someone on here saying that the phone order inventory is separate from the online inventory? If that's the case I'm very tempted to try that option out. I'll still be getting the All Woman quad but I think I will also try to get the Desert quad after seeing so many people speak highly of it.

Ugh...and soon the new Chanel collection will release here. That's another quad I want

$$$!!
That may have been me. I missed out on Just Wonderful lip pencil. I saw it available on the Canadian website months ago, so I called to order it. The representative said that they had no more in stock. I was like it's still available on the website, then she explained how their phone and online inventory are separate. Good luck on getting the quad if you decide to go for it.

Done CC??? That'll be the day! You can separate the eye shadow palette from the blush...just saying, not enabling
