you could be right, but if people don't have access to the collections, how are they going to sell them? hopefully it's a misunderstanding at your counter and you will get the products you want

My wish list has been changing a lot, too.

Glad we still have time to think.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Nope, not stickers

just as with Heatherette, Hello Kitty, Liberty of London etc etc they are printed on.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My excitment for this collection died yet again :/ I prob just get that Bite of an Apple blush since it seems like it's bright blush I can pull off

So glad you stopped lurking! This is really a great place to be.

My bank account loves ALL of you by the way. Without you, it would get much less action. You know bank accounts...they're all about the booty call.

Same here. I skipped it as well, was upset and glad it's being offered again. Yay!

So is Bite of an Apple the one product everybody is going to be killing over on launch day? Trying to figure it out so I can ready.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Hey Tamarindi,

I hope you enjoy it here!

PlatinumV I really hope there's a mistake and you will get this collection!

That is the other way to look at it, and very true. At least half of my bank account's action is MAC purchases (I don't buy that much other stuff besides, like, rent and groceries)

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Our lovely Zoffe just posted some swatches here: http://zoffe.blogspot.com/2010/08/venomous-villains-swatches-and-thoughts.html

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Great swatches but now I'm starting to have second thoughts about Bite of an apple, it looks much more coral than the pink in HerGreyness swatches and corals usually don't look very good on me.

Oh well maybe I'll wait for the pink blush in Tartan Tale or just buy Dollymix for a pink blush...

That's what I thought too! It looks like peachy brown color, but i'm sure it's the lighting. Not sure about She Who Dares either.
Those 2 are on top of my list before

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Ok, it is time for me to explain. No mistake at all: in Italy we have about 3 Mac pro and 3 or 4 Mac point. It's easy: MAC doesn't seem interested in making available this and other collections (ie: dare to wear, give me liberty of London, etc) at the Mac point. But the Mac pro are far from here, and buying by internet means I would never have the possibility to check the real colour before ordering (last time, with Tissue Weight. At Temptalia's it seems like a cool frost rose, instead it is a far deeper and, unfortunately, warmer colour).

So the basic question: when do you think swatches will be available?

Exactly what happened to me, Tissueweight is much warmer than I thought...

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Zoffe's swatches are making me sad about skipping Maleficent's lipsticks, but oh well. I am now bouncing off the walls excited for the MES!!!!!

it sounds really obvious, but have you checked the swatch thread here?

there's also an italian blog which was linked a few pages back that had some swatches, and zoffe's blog has just been linked too

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

If the packaging were to be stickers, I actually wouldn't be too mad (I know its not, but I'm just saying).
Only cause, I'm just getting Innocent Beware! lipstick which means I could have just ripped off Cruelle De Vil and be left with a simple shiny black bullet.
