Not a big fan of this lipstick.
CONS:
- It is too hard to rub on lips and you end up with an overall messy look.
- Dried out within a few minutes and magnified every single line on my lips. Lip exfoliation is a must before use.
- You can make this color look moist with a bit of gloss, but I can name 2 glosses that are a better option at half the price like Clinique's Black Cherry and Loreal's Hip Ingenue.
- Has little particles of gold glitter mixed in with the dark shade. It looked like my eyeshadow had dusted off onto my lips.
- Chanel's Vamp would be a better option.
Not impressed and will not repurchase.

Very nice colour, but drydown is awful uneven. I bought 3 mattenes of CoC, and it's all the same. Prefer So Scarlet, which I love very much, will buy a third backup of this tomorrow.

Rundown----Dark Brown with gold micro glitter.
I hate that it's in a tube, not much product and the tube direction always malfunctions. BUT........the color......Finally.......

This collection has restored my faith in MAC.
I swear!!!! For the longest time I stayed away form most of the current collections. They all just looked WAY too day glow on my nighttime skin tone. ( aka: too light for GGG/DDD girls).
Yesterday, I tried the Mattene Cult of Cherry in Chock-ful and Kirsch and I almost fell over in SUPRIZZEEE!!! It actually looked good on me without help from my HG chestnut lip liner!
I immediately, put back the other crap I was looking at and got both of these. I will get extras every week because this is LE…..LE!, oh, yeah,, that’s the reason I will leave MAC again….but,….after this collection.

i walked into MAC with th epurpose of buying bing...i saw this color and said - wowza!!! tried it on and it was just gorgeous on me. if you're pale white, don't even think about gettign this - you WILL look awful. if you've got olive or darker colored or tan-able skin, GET THIS. it's gorgeous adn just feeeeels so good on the lips. the darker color definitely gets attention (this color is not for you shy folks) and makes your teeth look blindingly white.

i love it.

*PICS* I went to MAC with Bing in mind and picked up this instead. I can't believe how amazing this lipstick is. It is very pigmented and applies like a dream. Although it's not completely matte, it would wear best on well-exfoliated and moisturized lips.
MAC describes this color as "Blackened brown" and it's pretty accurate. Only thing is that most brown lipsticks look dirty on me, but this one is different... instead of looking muddy, it looks luscious chocolate-y (like chocolate dipped berries?). Yum!
Retails for $14.50. Packaging is sleek and slightly rubber-y textured tube allows for great control.
Part of Cult of Cherry Collection.

Swatch on bare MAC C1 skin tone, medium pigmented lips:
