Believe me when I say that MAC Cosmetics’ Cult of Cherry is THE collection to anticipate for, and I recommend all girls to stop thinking when this arrives to our shores and just get them.

My must-have pics for the collection are three.

1. The palettes. I have the Tempting Palette with me, whose shads include ( l-r, t-b ) Next to Nothing, Tempting, Sharp, and Dark Edge. I tried the palette last weekend, and for a neutrals lover like me, I think these shades just look too daunting on the palette, but glide on as wearable colors when applied on the lids! I used Sharp on my inner lid, Tempting on my outer lid, Dark Edge on my outer V and crease, and Next to Nothing to highlight. Turned out pretty well. The other palettes from the Cult of Cherry collection look pretty interesting as well. Check them out over at the Swiper’s lair. ( omg I made her sound like a vampayrrrr )

2. The lipsticks. The lipstick to get is Cerise. It’s a skintone lip color that strikes me as nude, but it is just dazzling! It is glossy, so it’s nude-glossy! Makes my lips look moisturized, wet ( but not lipgloss-wet ) but looking all natural. Very pretty everyday shade.

3. Nail color in Illegal Purple. Girls who love black but want some dimension to the color will totally dig this. A very classy, yet edgy color. Blackened purple. I’m bringing this on my next mani-pedi sesh.

The verdict is out! It’s worth saving up for the Cult of Cherry Collection!

Update: ( August 15, 2008 ) Here’s an attempt to photograph my Cult of Cherry eyes. Please bear with me as I am struggling with my camera ( I have been, for the longest time, that I just can’t seem to take good pictures of my FOTDs and EOTDs! ).

The Sharp looks daunting on the palette, but for warm skin tones, it totally works. It morphed into some shade of gold on my lids, that is! It didn’t even look a bit shocking.

    As I said Mhean, don’t even think! And to add, no problems with the eyeshadows, like the Fafi’s were a bit too sheer and hard to get product from right?:)

    Thanks for the review….looks nice but I’m scared of the neon yellowish color. What does it look like on the lid?
