I was lucky enough to snatch this shadow up at the CCO, and I'm so glad I did. I have seen Youtubers wearing this color a lot, so I decided to pick it up. The color is a warm plummy red toned brown, that is pretty sheer, but that isn't a huge deal to me, because I mainly wear it as a subtle crease shade and as a blending out shadow for the crease. The texture is a satin, so it is not totally matte, but doesn't have chunks of glitter in it. Because it isn't 100% matte, it is more blendable and more wearable. Get this shade if you happen to come across it at your local CCO!

Mulled Cider is a really pretty warm brown colour. It applies really smoothly, and blends well. I like using it with Chamomile and Modelette from the Warm & Cozy collection - I apply it on the outer v. All 3 colours are perfect and I wear to the office almost every day. I find this colour very flattering to my pale skin tone.

I love, love, love this eyeshadow. I'm an nc40 and this brown is not too dark or too light. I usually use this shadow whenever I want a soft smokey eye. I am on a hunt for back ups.

It is more of a "Nay" than a "Yay" eyeshadow to me. I love reddish medium browns, my absolute staples in this family are Corduroy and Swiss Chocolate, and I must say that this Mulled Cider thing looks so pale compared with these. It's really boring and looks blah and chalky on me. I'm not a fan of the Warm and Cozy collection. In my opinion the medium brown shade from the All Races, All Ages, All sexes collection, the one called Cross Cultural, is far better than Mulled Cider. It's not a warm brown, it's rather like Espresso but slightly deeper, and is a very good brown.

It took some time for me to like this product. This is a limited edition eyeshadow from the Warm and Cozy collection. The color is a medium warm brown. When swatched the color turns a little gray on my skin (which I thought I didn't like). I think that this color is a great lid color or really great in the crease. It is a subtle but noticable color. I must say that it is a nice neutral to add to my collection. The more I play around with this color, the more I like it. Although I like this shadow, I probably wouldn't purchase again. It is not legendary in interesting and I am pretty sure that I dupe could be found.

I wanted this color desperately, I got it and LOVE it! It's a mid to dark brown with very minimal shimmer (it does not show up on the lid at all) I use this for a smokey brown eye and it looks amazing. This color is very similiar to mary kay's cinnabar, but mk's color is more of a reddish brown while this is not. I did try to pop cinnabar in the crease and could hardly see it so I used magnetic fields instead which was almost the same as well. Another similar one is mac's mystery altho slightly darker. This is l/e, sad but true. I do think this color is very dupeable, I mean what company doesn't make a mid to dark browns right?

I'd like to think of Mulled Cider as a deeper toned, darker version of Modelette. Both e/s together work fantastic for a neutral look, therefore I think it's versatile. Applies smoothly. Def a keeper for me.

Mulled Cider = a more sheer Folie, I know as I have swatched them side-by-side. If you have Folie, you do NOT need this color, especially because it is quite easy to sheer out any eyeshadow and you can do the same with Folie to get it to look exactly like Mulled Cider. If you don't have Folie, I encourage you to do the same and swatch both of them in the store before you decide which one you want. You'll also notice that MC also doesn't go on in a nice consistent line and applies a bit thicker in some areas compared to others in the swatch (not as evenly distributed as Folie). Based on all this, I chose to stick with my Folie ;)

This actually surprised me a bit, I liked it more than I thought I would. It's a brown with a hint of a plummy tone (on me anyway) in the satin formula (which I usually hate) that goes on smooth and not chalky. It's not the most unique color ever but it's one that will get alot of use from me. I wore Warm & Cozy shadestick all over lid & crease, this over the lid, and By Candlelight as the highlighter and it was a very pretty soft yet sexy eye look. Topped it with Graphic Brown fluidline and some mascara and you are good to go.

I really love this color I have been wearing it every since I bought it. The look I have been wearing with it is MAC's rice paper on the lid, modellete in the crease, and mulled cider in the outer v so pretty. this is a nice brown to add to your collection. this look gives me a nice soft neutral look. with this look you can wear any lipstick with it that your heart desires.

Understanding that I have quite a few brown shades from MAC, I bought this in a "warm & cozy" splurge and admit that I could do without it. A nice enough color if you have no other browns along this line ... I find it average at best in terms of color and blendability. I would skip this one and go for any number of their basic tried and true regular line browns.

A fantastic brown. Not too plum-y or orange-y or red-ish, but it definitely is a warm color, so keep that in mind. Its a great simple brown though and wonderful for a crease color. The only shadow I've picked up from Warm and Cozy and its definitely a highlight of the collection in my opinion

This is really an above average brown. I have a million browns, but I think this will be my new HG. It's very mellow...as someone else said...not "too" anything. It's almost too light for a deep smokey eye, but can be used somewhere else in the mix. I used it with Modelette and it's really a nice classy combination, although Modelette could have more pigmint/color. Mulled Cider is a great caramal color that's a bit on the deep side...suitable for lid, crease, all over..whatever. I'll use it mostly in the crease with a lighter lid color, It's a very versitile color, and if I had to grab just one color going out the door, it would be this one. Even if you have many browns, this is very worth adding to your stash.
EDIT: After wearing this several times, I love it even more. It seems to have (in bright light) an almost "redwood" look to it. I have green eyes and this just makes them pop like mad. It also can be layered to be much darker then I originally thought, and in addition, it makes a great liner. Very happy with it..may have to hunt another down,

OH.MY.GOSH. This eyeshadow is gorgeous. When this collection came out i didnt think much of it because i dont usually wear browns but after swatching it at my local MAC counter i fell in love. I tried it this morning with Naked lunch, Vanilla and this in the crease and it looks so beautiful, just like i'm about it snuggle up with a quilt and some hot chocolate by the fire (sounds kinda poetic haha). I think this will last me quite a long time but its such a shame its LE. Anyone know a good dupe?

When I picked this up at Nordstrom, I thought it was a pretty color and it looked really nice on the MAC makeup artist who sold it to me. However, I wasn't expecting too much, because it's another brown shadow. Well, I tried it out and loved it! It is the perfect brown that I have been looking for. Like someone else said, it's not too red, orange, plum, or whatever. It applies very smoothly and evenly. I wear this with Shroom and/or All That Glitters. This works well for me both as a crease color or an all over lid color. I purchased a back up today. The MAC makeup artist agreed that it's the perfect brown, and like me, she wishes this would be added to the permanent collection. I wear MAC concealer in NW20 for reference.

I have a hard time with browns turning orangey on me, but this is perfect!! Its a med-dark reddened brown with only the slightest luminosity, its almost matte, but not quite. It blends well and the pigmentation is great. It pairs beautifully with Modelette all over the lid and Mulled Cider in the crease. This combo really makes my brown eyes pop! NC42 Brunette with Brown eyes for reference.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this brown. It's the perfect brown for me. Not too red, too yellow, purple, or too anything. Like the site says, it's a dark warm brown and it goes on so nicely. It's a satin finish but I think it looks a little more matte. I hate that this is a LE shadow so I'll have to stock up before they take it away. I'm in love with it. It's not too dark either so it just gives you a glowy finish without being too strong. It's nicely pigmented and smooth.
