The broader their product can appeal, the more customers they can reach.

I don't disagree with that, but at the same time it looks like something they could get at any other brand too, so there doesn't seem to be much to convince them to buy it from MAC as opposed to from someone else. Had I looked at it years ago when I was a makeup lite kind of gal who was afraid of wearing anything but browns, pinks, creams, etc. and was new to MAC I would have thought to myself "I bet I can get something like this cheaper elsewhere. Or at least from some place that offers a GWP." Only later, as a MAC loyalist who likes her palettes, would I consider buying a shade like Vanilla or Kid from MAC as opposed to someone else.

I think it's great to appeal to a wider audience and not just makeup enthusiasts who enjoy color, but there should be something more distinctive about it too that could convince new people to the brand that they couldn't get this anywhere else. And as I said before, I don't think you need bright colors or frosty textures to pull that off.

if i didnt get it in gratis i wouldnt buy it. i dont wanna say HATE this quad but i think i do. every color in it makes me look like a zombieee

I'm digging it. I've really liked how I can use the colors with other brights already in my collection and the other day I had to go to a very conservative dinner and I wore it by itself. Very elegant and I still got to wear my MAC!

Laze Quad

If you have a lot MAC that this quad is not exciting. But I don't have too much of the line (although my SO would disagree w/that last statement I'm sure!)

I'm really surprised how often I'm reaching for the Laze Quad. Right now, it's about 4x's a week for at least one of the colors. The 2 deeper colors have really helped me for my crease, even with other non-MAC combos like Pout's Miss Egypt (which looks awesome with Shale in the Laze Quad).

I'm also using Kid to fill in my brows and as a crease color.

I know 3 of these are standards, but I didn't already have them so the quad price plus the convenience of the palette made this a good choice for someone like me.
