Speaking of Quads, I am still thinking about the Color Added Quad in the back of my mind. It keeps trying to force it's way to the front but idk if I can commit to it.

I haven't gotten it yet, but my mind is about 75% committed while my wallet is not. I can't even pretend I'm buying it as potential wedding makeup. I might let fate decide and get it if it's still available in two weeks.

I'm a paley here lol and I love doing a mostly neutral eye (shimmer on the lid) with a coral color in the crease to add a complimentary pop of color, finished with a dark brown or taupe liner. I think Full of Flavor from Call Me Bubbles quad or Early Bird for the coral would be lovely choicesThank you for all the comments guys - I'm sorry I've not been around to reply, majorly busy at work (zzz but pays for MAC) and organising wedding stuff (do we have any wedding make up threads?! Or even if anyone has any info/advice or good blog recs? I plan on doing my own) I still haven't got round to playing with my other color items but I'm loving hush hush - just wish the tendertones were a tiny bit more moisturising. My lips dry out with a lot of MAC lip products. How are the pale beauties rocking WMS? I'm always unsure of what eye looks to do with bright colours?

I did! They're really nice. I think I'll use them for my e/s pallettes.

I'm preferring mid-tone eye colors with it, rather than too nude and pale - I've busted out some of my MegaMetal shadows like Odalisque, Noir Plum and Dandizette. Also like Bloodline pigment with it, as well as MES like Hold That Pose, Daylight, Jade's Fortune (dry) - pretty much anything mid-tone, with a bit of a greyish, bluish, purplish or brownish cast, or green - anything that's not too pink or gold or nude.
I also really love the new Fluidlines with it, all the S3/C3 ones are gorgeous - I particularly love Midnight Snack worn with that grey Zoomlash from last year.

i`m about to place a new order with Mac, and i`m still undecided about flaunting it . Why can`t i make up my mind. I passed it twice now. I like the color alright, i feel I don`t need it, don`t know what to do!

I need help firming up my list! I've been out of the country so I haven't got anything from this collection yet, but I'm going to an event for it at Selfridges tomorrow and I'd like to have an idea of what I'm going to get just to stop me going crazy when I get there and buying everything! Here are my thoughts at the moment:
I'm completely skipping the Kissable Lip Colours, the blushes and the nail lacquers. I'm also skipping Call Me Bubbles (not really my colours), Innocence Beware and Runaway Red (already have them) , Naughty Sauté and Quick Sizzle (just wouldn't get much use out of them). It's the other stuff I'm undecided on...
Tendertones: honestly, these don't look that exciting to me but I think I'd like to get just one to see what the fuss is about. No idea which shade yet!
Shop & Drop: I think I really want this (for Hypnotizing if nothing else!) but I do have a lot of purples. I'm worried it won't be very unique, but it's definitely the kind of colours I like.
Colour Added: I can't decide. I don't think I have anything *that* close to most of the shades, but it does look very bright so I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of it.
Fluidlines: At first I wa going to get all 3 but now I'm wondering if I should just get Added Goodness plus a back-up or 2 because it looks right up my street. Temptalia said it's a lot like Bobbi Brown Blackened Mauve, which I already have, but whilst I love the colour of BM I don't like the Bobbi Brown formula much.
Dish it Up: it looks so pretty but I think I must have something very similar in my stash, so I can't decide!
Watch Me Simmer: this looks so gorgeous on other people but I'm very pale and cool toned so I worry it might look awful. I have Toxic Tale and I do wear it occasionally but I suspect it looks fairly hideous on me. I really don't know about this one either!
Aarrgh, help me decide! I was going to get all of the "maybes" but it looks like we have a LOT of collections coming out soon (and I think I may go a bit nuts on some of those) so I need to narrow this down a bit.

Definitely get Dish It Up and Colour Added! They are my favorites from the collection by far. Dish It Up is actually rather unique. In the tube, it looks a bit like Up The Amp, but it is actually more berry/plum, but still has a good amount of purple in it which is good. If you are pale and have blue eyes, you need Colour Added! I keep recommending this quad because it is perfect for people who are starting to get into colored eyeshadows, being that the colors are actually very wearable when applied. I posted a look I tried a few pages back that was not too bright so take a look at that if you are worried it will be to intense!
I'm still debating the Shop & Drop quad myself. I too feel the the colors are fairly dupeable, but there is something about that quad that is pulling me in (maybe its Hypnotizing?). Hypnotizing would be gorgeous on the lid with the navy color in the crease with the purple smudged out on the lower lashline... Oh no. I think I just convinced myself to get the quad
Watch Me Simmer was very bright on me! I am pale and cool toned like you, so I toned it down with Tanarama l/s which is in the permanent collection. It became much more wearable for me then. I don't think I can pull off WMS alone until the Spring and Summer!
I hope I helped you have a better idea on what you plan on getting!

I would get at least one Kissable. So you can see if you like the formula. I would at least one Tendertone in the color you would use the most, like Hush Hush? I would get 2 different Fluidlines, they are really, really awesome.
DIU is nice, but I think Up the Amp is close (I swatched em side by side and UtP is more purple but otherwise a close enough dupe) so I would skip it if you are looking to cut back; I would skip WMS if you have TT and are looking to cut back, we will see another WMS color in later collections I would bet.
I am a quad h00r so of course I am gonna say go for the quad in Shop & Drop if those colors are to your liking. Quads are good value and easy to take on trips...
Just my $0.02

WMS is coming out with Reel Sexy in April too, so you can always wait until you see a swatch with someone with your skintone. I am very cool and fair also, and I'll be picking one up on the restock, so I'll post a lip swatch when I get it. Dish it Up is beautiful, but I do think it could be easily duped as well.

Thanks for the help guys!
I think I'm definitely going to get Shop & Drop. Hypnotizing has been on my ISO list for a while and I'm sure I'll get use from the other colours too.
As for Fluidlines, I think I might pass on Wholesome and get Midnight Snack plus 2 x Added Goodness.
If WMS is available I'm probably going to get it. It might not work for me but I really do like the colour and I can always sell or swap. Buyer's remorse isn't as bad as skipper's remorse, I find! How does it compare to Toxic Tale? Is it more pink/less orange?
I'm skipping the Kissables because I already have 4 of them from Peacocky
Sooo that just leaves Colour Added and Dish It Up. I'm leaning towards skipping DIU because I do already have Up The Amp (as well as Raddichio and Bust Out which I think might also be similar). Colour Added...I don't know. Is it very dupeable?

I prefer light metallic colours: gold, champagne, rose gold, salmon etc. Sweet Heat - bright peach champagne - from Extra dimension will look awesome with bright coral. The e/s colours from Redhead//BBR Collection are also worth to check out for reference.

I ended up skipping Colour Added because I have the following shadows which I deemed as being close enough - Short Shorts (for the pale yellowish white), Going Bananas (for the yellow), Birds and Berries (for the teal), and about 6 dark grays (including Knight Divine and Hocus Pocus) for the dark gray.
But even with that a little voice in my head is still telling me to get it anyway LOL.
That's what happened with the Parlour Smoke quad - I stared at it online and tried to talk myself out of it for several months, then ended up buying it anyway!

We have the same coloring and honestly my favorite part of this collection are the 2 fluidlines Added Goodness and Midnight Snack. I would say definitely get the two of those!!
