MAC - Cult of Cherry Discussion

Now that I've dropped about $300 on this collection, I'm lemming over the blushes. I was really hoping I wouldn't like them. Plum Du Bois reminds me of Fab from the Barbie collection, but the Blossoming blush...so pretty. Help me out girls, do I really NEED it?

I have a question for you kirsch and black honey from Clinique owners; are the colors pretty close? Still thinking about kirsch ever since I got my haul. But I ended up with Rapt. instead.

I dont know why I was so excited for Cult of Cherry, but I was! I just adored all the colors and spent my entire paycheck on it. Which honestly wasnt much, I work at GameStop and the hours are terrible.

Anyway, I bought the Spiced Chocolate Quad, Kirsch and Jampacked. I will probably be returning Jampacked next weekend though for Cult of Cherry because Jampacked is so much like Pop Mode.

I swatched the Spiced Chocolate quad with some other colors I had.
Brash looks similar to Coppering to me. Brash has a tiny bit of brown in it.
Spiced Chocolate looked exactly like Smashbox Etch.
Sweet Chestnut has more brown than Cranberry. These were the only two that looked different when swatched on my arm.

I am slightly disappointed with the payoff in these new releases. I had to swipe the colors in the new shadows at least twice to get the same payoff with one swipe of my old shadows (like Coppering & Cranberry).


Do you like Illegal Purple? I haven't brought myself to drop the money on this yet.

I agree that the quad is totally dupeable, but for some reason, it makes me happy seeing it all sitting there together. So lovely!!

I agree with your take on Sweet Chestnut. I don't think Cranberry is an exact dupe for it at all. If anything, I think this would be the hardest one to do a true dupe on. Brash is dupeable with about a million different combos of different colors or you can just pick up one single shadow from Chanel (can't remember the shade name) that looked identical to this.

Hope you enjoy your haul!!!!!!!!!

Did you swatch CoC? If you have Kirsch you might not like CoC with it. Unless you are just getting that l/g because you like the color, which I wouldn't blame you!

I went to pic up the rest of my COC goodies today and discovered there was a brand new (less than one week) Mac counter at the Macy's near me. Since it was so new, one of the trainers was there and he told me something really interesting. I always thought I was warm toned, he said I do have olive/yellow in my skin but on the 'artist's color wheel' (?) I would be considered cool. He also said that my skin tone is such that I could wear any color..warm or cool. I really have no idea what that all means but I still think I'm warm. Anyone here know what that means? Anyways...

he was super nice and recommended Vino liner w/Kirsch. Can't wait to try it out.

From looking at your pictures, I am very interested in Kirsch, Jampacked and Silverstruck. See, I knew I was deluding myself when I said I didn't want anything from this collection!!

I haven't bought this much from a MAC Collection in over six months!
The Spiced Chocolate quad is really nice but Kirsch really brought it all together.
This was my first time ever trying Mattene's, and I love them! My lips weren't dried out and there wasn't that heavy perfumed scent that a lot of lipsticks have.

Anyway, I'm keeping the quad. It's nice having all of the colors in one palette than trying to manage the dupes which are in several different palettes or pots.


Really? My Spiced Chocolate's shadows payoff REALLY well. Especially the Sweet Chestnut.

What lipglosses are you loving over Kirsch? I was thinking about maybe getting Liqueur when I go to get my backup of Kirsch. I already have Jampacked.

Today, I received Chock-Ful in the mail, from a lovely friend

Oh, my...the colour *is* pretty Dark...Yes, it's Pretty and Dark...
The texture is beautiful and smooth on my lips,
& the aroma seems different from the lovely vanilla aroma of the other MAC lip products I've tried...Chock-ful smells equally lovely, but I'm unsure if I whiff
*chocolate* ?


uuuummmm....This is one beautiful lippie!

i got both blushes even though i don't like blushes. They are both perfect for fall, especially when used together! I don't want to think of how much I spend on this, maybe 400... Disgusting really

Jampacked and cult of cherry look great over kirsch. Liquer works too.

I third that. They all went on pretty nicely-even Nanogold. So much so I really considered purchasing it.
