A couple of years ago, I was more interested in building up my perm MAC collection and didn’t pay Limited Edition (LE) collections any mind whatsoever. When MAC released Cult of Cherry in August 2008, I didn’t even know what was in the collection, that’s how uninterested I was.
It wasn’t until I’d acquired a vast collection, that I began to take a look at past LE releases and started to lust after the Spiced Chocolate quad that was one of three released in Cult of Cherry. My desire for it heightened, after seeing a friend create looks with it on a number of occasions. I don’t really do quads but I think this is a gorgeous one to own that looks pretty damn hot on my skintone. Additionally, the shades it’s made up of, don’t duplicate any that I already own – which is always a plus, given how much make up I actually own.
After finding it on Love Make Up, I ummed and ahhed over its purchase for months but finally bit the bullet and ordered it last week (albeit a few pounds over the RRP) and I love it!
The quad consists of:
Nanogold – Sheer yellow pink with pink pearl (frost)
Brash – Frosty reddish copper (veluxe pearl)
Spiced Chocolate – Dirty deep reddish brown (matte)
Sweet Chestnut: – Frosted cranberry (frost)
I bought mine from that site just before Christmas. It's such a pretty quad, one of my favourite LE things ever xx
This quad looks so pretty and I am sure it will look great on you. Can't wait to see some looks.
is Nanogold coming out again with spring colour forecast?
Anything from Style Black, especially Young Punk! I was out of the UK when it was launched and by the time I got back it had all sold out!
Gorgeous color I love sweet chestnut <3
This was my fave quad. I tried to depot the reddish color (the others were used up) and it smashed into bits and i was devestated! Loved the coc collection!!
Fashion Mews from the Hello Kitty Collection. Whyyy did it have to sell out!?
eee and that Love Makeup is a good site isnt it!
ya…i totally understand hw u feelin…
I have experienced same glorious feeling a couple of times when I managed to get SPICED CHOCOLATE QUAD, SOCK HOP LIPGLASS, OTHERWORDLY AND AFTERDUSK BLUSHES….:)
I wanted this so bad and finally bought it from the same site a few months ago..how i love it! I now know to always go for something if i can, rather than regret it later. Its beaaauuutttiiiful!!!!
Kute!!
I really want lollipop lovin from the Heatherette collection simply for the hot packaging!
I have been wanting Spiced Chocolate Quad for a very long time!! I hope to purchase it soon so I can give it love!
The colors are beauitful! Is that palette still available?
Spiced Chocolate was on my leeming list, but after seeing I would have to pay around $75.00 for the quad, it quickly came off the list–lol! I do wish I would have picked up the Barbie e/s and also Young Punk e/s from Style Black though…I snoozed on those 🙁
I think this is one of the most well coordinated palettes MAC has ever done. Usually there's like 3 good shades and then 1 random one *cough* Tempting Quad *cough* that I know I'll never use.
please do a FOTD using this! xxx
