The Maleficent part of this collection is really pretty...shades and variations of purple! With that said, I will be buying from each collection within the whole collection. Briar Rose is to die for!! I hope it shows up as well on my skin as it did in her swatch! If so, it's going to make a great blush. Wrong Spell looks a lot darker than what it should be. Still unsure about that one. Revenge is sweet looks more pink than purple but still pretty as is Dark Deed. My Dark Magic is so pretty in the pan. With the swatches, I'm having trouble deciding if I should it get or Vile Violet. To me, they both look the same. Still on the fence about Toxic Tale.

The MAgic powder applies dry but FEELS wet and when applied has a very soft sheen to it but it is never wet per se.

I'm definately not skipping Vainglorious, I think it's da bomb! It was the first thing on my list!

Even though I love purple (

) I'm afraid this will be too bronze-y for my taste.

Plus, I have to cut somewhere with all of the backups I've been adding.

I haven't ruled it out entirely, but, like lovely Layla, I need to cut somewhere and I'm getting desperate. I think I'll love the colour, but I'm trying to be practical and keep away from things that are too similar to what I already have. (Except vampy lipsticks... I just need them no matter what...)

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

i think my list will change up a bit with these swatches..not feeling those mineralize shadows even though they look so pretty in the pan. maybe we need them swatched over the grease paintstick?

Thanks for the tip hergreyness!

Yay! I'm going to get it then!

Haha! Same here! Though I'm not going to be getting any of these, I am considering the dark lipglass again in the Maleficent collection.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I just bought one of the new mufe lipsticks and it's very very similar to Violetta, so I can scratch that off my list. I've also scratched off the shadows. So now, I only want Bite of An Apple blush, Heartless and Toxic Tale lipstick.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I just re-worked my list again. Realized b/u of eyeshadows, bps, etc. is not wise for me since I have never made it through an LE powder product. I b/u lip products happily since I don't have that many that I adore, but do I really need two jumbo MES of the same color? I think not....

I added the other two Evil Queen eyeshadows and scratched off the Maleficent lipglass. I made the mistake of going through the traincase forum today, so now I am dreaming of a perfect purple palette, and Her Alter Image + Vainglorious fit right in, unfortunately.

I'm not going to bother posting my list since it changes every five seconds.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

HELP! I need to choose!

Maleficent
Mineralize Eyeshadow
She who Dares- Deep navy with blue pearl/ Deep forest green with lime pearl
OR
My Dark Magic- Deep pink with pink pearl/ Deep plum with purple pearl

Beauty Powder
Briar Rose- Soft violet pink with pearl
OR
Evil Queen
Beauty Powder
Oh so fair -mid-tone pink with gold pearl

Which one do you think I should get? For NC20...I am leaning toward My Dark Magic because it's less likely that I'll look bruised from it, and Briar Rose because it seems pretty unique, a lavender blush...but would Oh So Fair maybe be easier to use/more flattering?

I know it seems a little silly but I really absolutely have to limit myself to 2 items.

Those would be my picks, too! Especially for your skin tone.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

When we first got the colour story for this collection, I noted that there are 39 products and that I was intrigued by 19 of them.

Today I officially cut it down to 9 products.

Although, I'm sure I will be cutting even more! I have no idea what my budget for this will be.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I hope this hasn't been discussed a million times but I only keep hearing about how neat these magic powders are... But what are they actually for? Setting or touch ups or...?

The darker one is like a bronzer and the lighter one can be used as a highlighter.
