Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Thanks Shadowy Lady for the link!

My wishlist took a hit...in both directions!

Wrong Spell, Revenge is Sweet, Oh so Fair, and Vile Violet are now off the list. My Dark Magic is now a maybe as is She Who Dares. Not sure if I would got much use from either shadow but I know I need to see them in person before I decide. That's the best swatch of Toxic Tale I have seen. Kinda reminds me of Powerhouse, which I love!!

I really think I can make that one work! Heartless is too die for! I need September to come right now!!

At least you're cutting off more than you're adding.

And I agree- Heartless is

I don't wear red enough, though.

I understood that these were not stickers but actual designs on the packaging.

it is coral

with red/deep pink -- so it is a complex colour

it is not brownish at all.. so

but that is the danger of swatches -- depends on what it is swatched on (skin tone), flash or no, daylight, background, zoom, etc. it is always best to swatch it on yourself and in lieu of that, take a leap of faith

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Looking at Zoffe's swatches, I'm wondering where is the pink side of MES My Dark Magic

There's something strange.

I'll skip all Cruella products. I'm not a fan of the character, besides the packaging is so damm ugly!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Zoffe's swatches really helped me (thanks girl!).
Unfortunately, by "helped me", I mean "reinforced the fact that I want SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much stuff".

Ohhh also, for anyone who has seen it, is De-vil anything like Cut to Fit e/s??? Or no?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Oh my gosh! I wasn't going to get any lip products, but now I need Violetta and Toxic Tale! Oh. And Vile Violet is added to my list!

Thank you, HerGreyness! Glad to hear Bite of an Apple is not brownish! *breathed a sigh of relief*

I'm still not sure about Toxic Tale and Heartless lipsticks, and Strange Potion lipglass. Currently my wish list includes:

Cruella:
Devilishly Stylish l/g
Innocence, Beware! l/s

Evil Queen:
Bite of an Apple blush
Oh So Fair b/p

Maleficent:
Briar Rose b/p
Revenge is Sweet l/g

They're subject to change anytime.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

my excitement for this collection seems to be waning

.. i still do wanna chk out Bite of an apple and the MES... tho the swatches for the MES arent too appealing..

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

From Zoffe's new swatches, I like the looks of Wicked Ways l/g. So that's a new possibility, but I am still holding stong on Her Alter Image e/s, Vile Violet e/s, and Oh So Fair BP... BOA looks kinda warm in her swatches, and I have been leaning towards skipping that anyway. I am excited for a few things in the collection, but not the collection as a whole.

Hope we'll see more swatches soon!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I know a lot of you do not like the packaging. And while I would have loved the sketch type images as well I do love these images as they are classic Disney. As a huge Disney fan of course I simply must indulge.

I can’t decide between the two MALEFICENT l/s. I am NC15 and usually only do brights and such on my eyes and not so much on my cheeks and lips. I hope something like Bubbles or something layered with one of these will make it workable for me. I know many of you have Violetta and some of you have had the pleasure of playing with Dark Deed. I would very much appreciate any suggestions on which one might be easier to tone down and maybe suggest a lippie to help do that. I think Violetta is going to be way too bright/cool toned for me. I made the mistake of buying Fashion Mews from Hello Kitty, it's not bright but the color is horrid on me.

I may have to skip the blush Darkly My Dear from CRUELLA because I cannot see it working at all. It just seems way too dark even for contour as I use Strada for that. The only thing would be to pop it out and put in something like Instant Chic that's not in special packaging. I’m not sure if anyone would be willing to buy or swap it without the outside package, well unless they were planning to depot anyway.

You'd probably get more mileage out of Dark Deed, since that looks like you could blot it down to a stain (you could do that with Violetta too, but it'd still be bright even then).

Also, I always thought Darkly My Dear blush would be a hidden gorgeous color and I still think so...applied lightly with a 188 or even better a 131 that will work even on pale girls with subdued eyes and some Heartless red on the lips.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Thanks again Zoffe for your swatches

On a side note you are absolutely gorgeous!

Wow to my surprize I'm not wanting a lot from this collection! Looks like its just Resort Life lipgelée and Push the edge piggy.

Maybes:
The polishes. I will only get one if one wows me
The liquid powders, I have to find out more about those.
I'm surprizingly going to pass on the mineralize shadows. They arnt quite what I expected. Plus I already have the black with purple glitter mineralize shadow from style black

i know that feeling! it's the second swatch where wrong spell l/g looks almost black, and seeing as i don't have one of them... what happened to my willpower?!
