Flowering Quad

[lianna]

Very nice picture of the quad. IRL, the shimmers in Blossomcherry and Early Lawn aren't as obvious though.

i'm not really a fan of the flowering quad also.

Not sure why but it just doesn't appeal to me

I also was tempted when I saw it. Perhaps it would look good with a PPP, but if it doesn't show up on the back of my hands, it won't probably show up properly on my lids. The shades are too sheer for my tone.

 

[shadowprincess]

just got it in the mail... they're pretty colours

 

[cloverette]

i just got mine today, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

oh, & the colors are SO much prettier in real life!

 

[Isis]

I finally cracked and have one on the way

Much thanks to a lovelly MUA/Specktra-ette. Besides, these colors are perfect for me, and I actually don't have Honesty in my kit LOL

 

[user4]

the colors r too pastel for me... they are so pretty but they would totally wash me out...

That's pretty accurate, except I don't think the pink is quite so purple. It really is beautiful in person, the picture of spring.

If you were able to swap: it would be for something you want (IE: Flowering quad) for something of yours that they want (and it doen't always have to be MAC but most likelly some other high end item).

But I do think a money order is going to be your best bet on this one. There are loads of people on MUA willing to CP these.

an old post I know, but I got a cp for this, and I hated the quad. The e/s were lacking serious pigmentation. I swapped it after trying to wear it for 2 days. I tried with UD PP as a base, no dice and then with Bamboom as a base.

You can really pass on this one.

same here! it's a beautiful quad, but the colors aren't really me. so, after using it once, i'm going to swap it, too.

 

[Sarah]

I'm thinkign of swaping mine too, the colours just don't show very well on me

 

[REYNALD0C]

Does anyone actually have a pic of them using this quad?

 

[amethyst_twine]

The colors come out quite well on me

just have to layer. Don't have a picture though, my sucky digicam wouldn't be able to capture the colors anyway.

Hey reynaldo, here's me with my Flowering quad. Sorry about my lousy skills

I used:
On crease area, Blossomcherry.
Bottom, Early Lawn and Lucky Jade.

 

[REYNALD0C]

heyyy, i like that!

 

[anuy]

is the green like lustreleaf eyeshadow? is the pink similar to anything? i dont know if i want this

 

[pinkiestarlet]

IMO, both colours are rather unique. But if I had to really choose another shade that's a bit similar, then I would say Early Lawn is similar to Sprout. I can't find any that is similar to Blossomcherry though. HTHs!

 

[lara]

I happened to have them both on my desk when I saw this post.

If anything, Sprout reminds me of 'Pistachio' e/s from Clarins, but tinted a shade darker and a more frosty finish. I've been looking for a MAC replacement for that hue for a while, so finding the Flowering quad was a dash if luck.

Edit - I've also uploaded it to the swatch gallery, here .
