My Goodies: Cult of Cherry & Overrich

So of course I made it out to my nearest MAC counter/store to get my hands on Cult of Cherry and Overrich.

Here is a quick rundown:

Cult of Cherry


Generally I found the collection to be sultry and wearable. The lip colors are the real stars. I didn't care for any of the quads except the Spiced Chocolate Quad, which is dupable (details further down)

The Mattens are the bomb. I have only tried Mattens once before and didn't care for them, but I do like the color and feel of the Cult of Cherry ones. And the dark lip really isn't all that dark. Kirsh is a nice dark plum, but it isn't terribly dark.

I am a sucker for blushes, so of course I liked Plum du Bois, even though it isn't mind blowing. I am still waiting on the blush version of Patina. Oh well.

The lipsticks didn't do a whole lot for me. I didn't bother with O or Russian Red, but I did try and love So Scarlet. Go out and get it ladies! I'm considering a back up, although I really have to stop doing that...

As you know, I don't do Lipglass, but I do like the looked of Jampacked and Liqueur. I might have to do back for those two.

And now for the main event, the duping of Spiced Chocolate Quad. First let me say that Sweet Chestnut is not Cranberry, it's its deeper darker cousin. It is however very very very similar to Heritage Rouge pigment (Overrich). That being said, the quad can be duped by using Seedy Pearl for Nanagold (on my skin, the pink and not the white is what shows), Coppering for Brash, Embark for Spiced Chocolate and Heritage Rouge for Sweet Chestnut. When I figured this all out, I simply returned the quad for the pigments and picked up Seedy Pearl and saved myself some money. Now if you don't have any of these colors, go ahead and get the quad, it is pretty after all, but if you do, well...

And now on to Overrich

These pigments are so gorgeous! I got 6 of the eight because I already own Mauvement, and I didn't like Blonde's Gold (and of course the ladies on Specktra are raving about it. I don't see what the fuss is about) although I may be taking Vintage Gold back because it is nearly identical to Copperized pigment, although the former is the prettier of the two.

I don't know what else to say other than run out and get them all!

So that's the quick rundown. Ask me if you'd like further insights about anything.

My list of goodies includes:
- So Scarlet l/s
- Kirsh m/t
- Bing m/t
- Chock-ful m/t
- Plum du Bois blush
- Heritage Rouge pigment
- Copperbeam pigment
- Vintage Gold pigment
- Antique Green pigment
- Museum Bronze pigment
- Mega-Rich pigment
- Seedy Pearl e/s
- Woodwinked e/s

what a great haul!!
I swinged by a MAC counter in NY and found So Scarlet to a bit dark for me...i prefer port red
The spiced quad is gorgeous but i can dupe too...

so far, i am not getting anything...maybe to compensante for the CCO haul..lol..enjoy your goodies!!

Erin said...

You are most definitely correct about the Spiced Chocolate having dupes!!!! You are right on the money with Seedy Pearl being Nanogold's dupe. However I think Brash looks a LIL more (to me) like Stila's Ray e/s. Spiced Chocolate looks like Embark, you're right and it also looks like Swiss Chocolate. Because of me being an addict to the fullest, I went out and got it. If anything, I should have gotten the Tempting quad and call it a day. I am learning to resist even though I have dupes.

I am so glad to see how you like the Overrich piggies!!! I only got Heritage Rouge but I am stongly considering on getting the rest. I will have to swatch Blonde's Gold before I get it!! Its best to do that before you go by the ladies on Specktra!!! You know what I mean, LOL!

@ erin:I am LOVING Heritage Rouge. I've worn it two days in a row, which is really saying something for me. Oh and I have Stila's Ray too so I guess I am all nice and set when it comes to duping the Spiced Chocolate Quad.

SuzieC said...

Great haul! I need to go back and look at the pigments again. I just glanced at them last time I was at my MAC counter.

where's your cult of cherry look??

The Treat Fairy said...

@ Yummy. It's in my camera. It's really just CoC eyes.

Leela said...

I am in the mood to go to the mac counter. I just finished one of my shades, and apparently when you finish one you can bring in the empty container and get a new one. So I will def try these shades!

Great post!
