Cult of Cherry
Cherry on top. Pity poor Eve, there’s a new forbidden fruit. With a smouldering eye and a plush, purple-red mouth, she’s a living, sensual pleasure. The Cult of Cherry is luscious, dramatic, undeniably eroticized. Ripened lips, Spiced Hot Chocolate eyes or Illegal Purple nails, combine to seduce with a sweet-and-shock,
way-to-go dark. Separates the bitter from the sweet. This drama just gets more delicious.

Hey Christine! Great photos, but are these not similar to the ones you had posted before? Are they indeed different? Just curious. Thanks!

Hi Roselyn,
The pictures are the same, but the information is different (because what I posted before with the high res images was translated from another language).

Ahh! Perfect! Thanks for clarifying.

I am so excited for this collection! Can’t wait.. can’t wait.. can’t wait!
I’m wondering how it will be to have such intense lips though.. I’ve been keeping it pretty light through the summer.
That aside.. SQUEE! ;)
Tekoa

*squees as well!*

Hi Nepenthe,
Yes, the lips are really intense, I asked! I was given a tip that you could wear it lightly or blot for a nice stain instead.

Has the release date changed? “Available September 2008 at all M·A·C locations,”
I thought this was an August release. Do we know for certain?
Thanks!

Hi Suzi,
I have heard it’s August 21st, but since it’s late, they may call it a September release. (Like Starflash is really an “August 2008″ release, though July 31st is the date.)
Shayla

There’s not a ton that I want from this collection, but I have my eye maybe on the Cult of Cherry lipglass (since I don’t have any lipglass yet..surprise!)
I find I’ve focused more on MAC eyeshadows, and now that I have practically all the colors I like, I’ll have to move on to lips/cheeks and pigments :)
Betty
Thursday, July 31, 2008
i’m with you on that too….I’m like eyeshadows and pigments….i only own one lipstick and one lipgloss from mac=( haha! But i still try staying with soft colors.wanna learn to use a more darker color( just feel like if i look silly) LOL!
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Hi Shayla,
I’m not sure yet what I want. The mattenes are too dark for me, but the lipsticks and lipglasses sound interesting. The quads haven’t caught my attention yet either.
Erin
Thursday, July 31, 2008
I am getting the blushes, all of the quads and MAYBE a couple or a few of the lipglasses.
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Awesome, Erin :D
Danielle
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Yay I didn’t know there were going to be blushes. I will have to get those, and maybe the spice chocolate quad, plus some lipglasses! Does anybody know what comes close to Afterdusk blush from the Moonbathe collection? I am fairly new to MAC, but this blush I am sorry that I missed.
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Hi Danielle,
Gosh, Afterdusk is so pretty, and I haven’t found a great dupe for it. Maybe Plum Foolery is similar…

Thursday, July 31, 2008
am lemming the dark purple polish and the deep truth quad already!!!
Tekoa
Thursday, July 31, 2008
What, Nanogold is a frost now? *looks at the underside of her lustre Nanogold* If that’s true the Spiced Chocolate quad is totally mine. Still trying to justify buying the Tempting quad for Sharp…
In my city the unveiling launch is August 12th! Official launch unknown.
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Hi Tekoa,
You got me! Ohh, lucky you for the unveiling party :D
Ariele
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Yay! I am really getting excited for the CoC release… :) Now with my Starflash stuff already purchased, I can focus on CoC! I’m interested to see if they really did reformulate Nanogold into a frost from a lustre, since that’s how it was released with the N Collection. *scratches head* Regardless, I want the Spiced Chocolate & Shadowy Lady quads + 2 l/s + 3 l/g + 2 mattenes + 1 blush + 1 n/p. YIKES!
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Hi Ariele,
It would be interesting if they reforumulated it. It does seem unlikely, doesn’t it? But then again, it is in a quad, not a pot, so it could have happened!

Ok, If this actually launches in September I am SOOOOO going to have somebody get me this stuff for my birthday.
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
I believe it’s August 21st!
Tanya
Thursday, July 31, 2008
doesnt the spiced chocolate quad look kinda like the one of the take wing quad?
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
I can see why you might say that, Tanya!
Jamie
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Mmm! I’m totally getting those quads!
Fran
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Do you know whether it comes out in the UK also in September?! Or will we have to wait a little over here?!
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Hi Fran,
I imagine late September for UK/international…

Good thing for my bank account, I can pass on all of this :-)

wow I can’t wait. Saving up for sure! Thanks for the information.
Christine

No problem!

I think I’ll only get Rich and Ripe and Cult of Cherry. I might get O though.
Shayla
Thursday, July 31, 2008
what’s funny is that O is perm…haha (i have it).
DJ
Thursday, July 31, 2008
curious about the mattene shades, but other than that…not so much. Thank goodness.
(although I do love the chocolates quad and a few of the lipglasses sound great, just trying to chill out)

I can’t wait for this collection to launch! My MA at MAC did a look on me and added Sharp and I LOVE IT!!!!!! I’m all over Tempting and Spiced Chocolate quads.
Tekoa
Friday, August 1, 2008
Is Sharp like Bitter?
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
From what I can see, it definitely looks similar. I don’t like Bitter that much, BUT PRO has a green similar to Bitter with better texture/pay off (Bio Green?).

the MAC counter inside Macy’s that i hit today for Starflash and Lustre Twins said unveiling was Aug. 21. naturally, i booked an appointment to try on some looks and buy EVERYTHING!
Amanda23
Thursday, July 31, 2008
The Macy’s I went to today said the launch was Aug 21 too!
Christine
Friday, August 1, 2008
Nice! I believe the launch date is the 21st, though some stores are doing previews between 12th and the 30th.
Brooke

IDK if this means anything, but I got signed up for the Cult of Cherry ‘event’ today in Mac, and its August 31st?
Nicole
Friday, August 1, 2008
I thought I have to buy Tempting and Swiss Cocolate quad, but I think I skip these products, because I don’t like matte and lustre finishes. And I get more and more the feeling, that the colors won’t suite me like other e/s. Maybe I go for a lipstick.
vinna
Friday, August 1, 2008
im liking the purple nail lacquer most i think… and maybe one of the quads
neysa

i wish mac made it so you can pick what you want in your quad!
there is always that one color you NEVER use! and it feels like such a waste :(
personally i would take from each quad you see in the pic the color in the bottom right corner! thed look so pretty in one quad.
Christine

How cool would that be?!
Paulina
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Oh. my.god. I went to my MAC store today, just to get an empty 16 pro palette… Little did I know that they had the first shipment of Cult of Cherry today. She literally opened the packages in from of my eyes, and I was the first one to swatch the whole collection. Pre-ordered two pigments, a mattene and the Shadowy Lady quad. THIS COLLECTION IS FANTASTIC! Get it!!!
Christine
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Ohh, very nice! You’re lucky, Paulina :)
Kristen
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
I’m really excited and really want all of it. I’ll probably just get one eyeshadow, lipstick, and lipglass though.
Also I have to say I was kind of expecting way cooler packaging. It looks like the lids on the eyeshadows are their plain clear quads. I was thinking they would’ve done something like they did with the heatherette and/or fafi packaging, and have cherries all over it. That aspect of this collection I’m a little disapointed.
Christine
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Hey Kristen! Despite how large Cult of Cherry is, MAC usually only does special packaging a few times a year (though it’s definitely more often than it used to be!).

Christine
