does anyone know when this collection will be launched in the uk?

I imagine in September!

I got the "Tempting" quad. Will you be doing a look?

Hi Natasha! I actually already did one :)

The greeny yellow of the quad looks like a nicer more wearable version of eyepopping from c shock...

It seems like a yellower version, but they're very, very close.

I am loving the look of the mattenes, I've been seeing that dark vampy lip in all of the magazines for fall (on the models of course in fashion spreads) and as much as I love it I just can't imagine how I would be able to pull it off on a day to day basis... Can't wait for the full review!

Hey Jenna! It's definitely a trend for fall, and I've heard things like wear it as a stain or try a vampy gloss for a less intense look!

it looks like your flash washed out the colors of the quad a bit.

I think it looks very accurate - I even hold up the quad next to the picture and they look the same to me. Sorry it doesn't work out for you!

Suite Array is going to kick Cult of Cherry's butt!

OMG, I'm all over new eyeliners! The duos, not so much, but hey.

omg ! so i like am on a first name basis with all the MAC artists in SF at the shopping centre. I swatched all of the cult of cherry products. OMG ! I had her total everything so far..and it was like $209. I still have to buy an electroflash shadow and starflash shadownsv +eye liners! im definately going broke !

HAHA! How funny ;) LOVE IT.

Thanks Marsina! I'll be checking out those PPs when I grab the quads!

I really can't wait for this one! I was dissapointed when more info came out because the lips look quite dark in general, but the quads look fab!

The lips are DEFINITELY dark and intense... well, the mattenes at least!

I'm not sure how to wear it - any ideas?

My MA was super nice the other day and actually showed me some of the products in person.. and they are WAY more gorgeous in real life. I'm a 'neutral' eyeshadow person, but Sharp is something I think everyone can pull off.. it's very unique. The mattenes honestly all looked black to me.. and the Spiced Chocolate quad is beautiful as well. The other quad with Deep Truth in it was my least favorite.. but the purple color in it is GORGEOUS. That quad is worth buying simply for that color. If you dont have shadowy lady or deep truth already, that's a plus as well.

Glad you're liking the launch!

I want to see the swatches of spiced chocolate! hotchuma hotchuma! Your audience clamors for MORE! ;)

If I could give you more swatches, I would :)

Hmm finally a swatch of Jampacked! Pretty but I need to see the other ones too to decide on one..

Wish I could have swatches of all for you, but not the case :/

ooh i want creme cerise!!

It's a nice color amongst all the darker ones!

I think Sharp is a hideous color. *hide*

OMG!!! Actually this swatch makes it look very yellow, and it's more green..... It's very pretty in person. My MA used it on a look on me the other day and it was stunning!

It was very yellow-green to me, hmm.

LOL, no shame in that thought, Lexi!

Ahhh, this confirms my unyielding desire for Cream Cerise! And the Tempting quad. And also makes me want some of the other lip products - I had planned on 2 l/s and 2 l/g, but that might have to be re-thought! My CoC money is starting to burn holes in my pockets, but I'm trying to be so very virtuous...

Haha! At least CoC will be here soon!

I like that gloss, too!

Jampacked looks gorgeous, but I dunno whether I could wear such a dark colour. Christine, can you please do some lip swatches or looks for us using those products?

Hopefully I can do lip swatches soon!

Okay, I'm going to admit that I don't yet own any MAC. But I'm probably going to nab all three quads to make up for that. Loving the Spiced Chocolate quad, and I like Sharp and Tempting. I might be able to skip the quad with the blues, but on the other hand I don't have deep truth. If I were to grab a few paints or pots to use as bases what do you guys recommend starting with? Like, if I could only buy two?

I'd get painterly paint pot or untitled paint for a cool neutral, bare canvas paint or soft ochre paint pot for a warm neutral and stillife paint for something with shimmer. I use untitled paint almost every day and if I need some extra color under a shadow, I use a technakohl liner over the paint.

Aw, MAC virgin!! :) Soft Ochre is my FAVORITE base. That one for sure!

I am LOVING the lip colours they are right up my alley!

How do you wear the vampy lip, Brenda?

so scarlet looks quite pretty... mmm... but Christine, I cant wait to see your review!! =)

It's definitely a lovely color! :)

I am so buying Illegal Purple. That is the vampiest nail color ever, oh man. I like Bing, too. I'm not sure how much wear I'll get out of it, but goodness it is sexy.

It is gorgeous, I love it :)

creme cerise looks yum!! soo xtine ..you got this stuff when you went to the invite for the cult of cherry event?? ..just wondering ...i'm going soon :)

oh yeah "sharp" or "bitter" which do you perfer?? "Go" or "tempting"?? thank you <3333

I got the answers already <3333.

I prefer Overgrown, LOL. Bitter not so much, because it's not as pigmented. Go, probably - smoother than Tempting.
