As is BR from Dame -- they are not identical. So enjoy the dupe list and use whenever you can or want. No frowny faces if you do not get the same exact shade by using a dupe

I agree HerGreyness. I was looking at the list, thinking about what I have from the list and how they don't look anything like the swatches that I have seen.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Like I said dupes for products of LE collections are requested in every discussion thread. There are members who come to these threads just to find dupes.

Of course a dupe of a product is not meant to be exactly the same colour or texture, but it helps those people who are on a budget or those who already have a nice collection and don't want to get the fifth purple like that.

Take a look in the swatch threads - dupes are posted there really often!

A dupe list like the one I have posted just can be one more alternative - everyone should decide on its own what to buy and what not

I'm thinking maybe they mean it in terms of use, rather than how the actual products look on their own. Like if you were doing a face chart that told you to use FQ as a base and you didn't have it, then a basic paint pot like BS could be substituted

100%. The dupes are not exactly same. The list is for guidance only. But I still find it very useful, and enjoyable.

Or maybe they meant Blackground Paint Pot.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

As tempting as the BPs are, I can't depot them. So I guess the blushes will have to be enough XD

BOA really is fantastic looking

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

i can't wait to get my hands on BOA blush! i don't think i've seen a bad swatch of it yet

Darling Susanne,

I agree absolutely -- what I meant was that one should not decide NOT to buy or TO buy solely based on a dupe list.. because colours are slightly different... if you just want the alternative look, then fantastic! If you want the absolute real thing, then you have to decide what to do

yup!

plus the fact that different textures and products look different on peoples skintones - so what is a dupe for some isn't for others

I think I was just trying to convince myself they'd be the same, so that I could feel comfortable buying less. Now, of course, that dream is over...

What if I want a fifth identical purple?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm wondering if Darkly My Dear blush is similar to Emote.

No idea, but I use Wedge e/s instead of Emote.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm not getting Toxic Tale just because I know that Satin finishes are not nice to me. So, that leaves with Bite of an Apple blush. After I get my hands on that, I'm set.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Well the dupe list didn't change anything for me! I'm still getting 97089789685 things from this collection.
