I've Made of Love and I think they're very different. Toxic Tale looks more orange (judging by the swatches), and MOL is a red-pink

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Thinking of getting the nail polishes but they're dupeable (and the dupes cost less and have more product! Mean & Green and Formidable are, apparently, dupes of Orly Space Cadet and Galaxy Girl. Bad Fairy looks close to OPI The Show Must Go On, coming out in a few months as well.) I'm really conflicted because I'm not sure which ones to get. I'm sure the MAC ones will be collectors items and I'm not sure if I'd want to miss out.

Also, is it just me or does French Quarter gps look more shimmery than the Art Supplies greasepaints? I hope it lives up to my expectations!

I just managed to find a Young Punk to replace the one I swapped! SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! I love that shadow so much.

From the swatches, I'm excited, but a lot of it also seems very meh. I had a few minor changes, but not much.

My list (as of now)

Briar Rose Oh So Fair My Dark Magic She Who Dares Slick Black French Quarter Formidable! Push the Edge
I got rid of the eyeshadows and added Oh So Fair b/c I haven't had luck with matte eyeshadows lately and I don't need a BI dupe, I've decided.

Briar Rose looks so delicious!

Maybe its just lil ol me - but why the heck did they not make Bite Of An Apple a cross color of like Salsa Rose & Apple blushes??? I mean really...make it something close to an Apple color

I love the color that it is as I love corals, but I just think a close to apple color would have been more fitting in this case. imo

Innocence beware

love me those pinky nude lips

I want Briar Rose, especially for the compact. But in all the swatches I have seen it looks very close to Summer Rose.

I do like that she's willing to do full face shots for lip and blush swatches. That's a lot of heavy lifting. Erin's swatches are still the most consistently accurate color-wise!

I forgot to comment the nail polishes from the collection. These are awesome! I'd like to buy them all, but I'll have to pass. I already have too many lovely nail polishes.

BTW, love the tower of boxes. Sadly I'm never going to get these these either.

Maybe you've already seen it, but I thought it looked more vivid/different than Summer Rose in Temptalia's video - her arm swatches

Its so pretty! And, I think this color will look lovely from pale to woc skin tones. Actually, if the pigmentation is good, I love to see this shade on woc.

in my previous post you quoted, I meant to say I love corals instead of colors

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Bite of An Apple is starting to bum me out. It's looking less unique to me. It's like a Fleur Power/Gina(by Nars) mix. I will have to swatch and see. Now I know I definitely want the cooling powder in Cajun after looking at Karen's blog. She explained what it was for

. Here's hoping it doesn't break me out. Definitely still want Toxic Tale. So glad my haul will be small regardless.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

its all too expensive

(
I like BP's except that I need better comparison of briar rose and azalea blossom and I thought cruella red lippy was gonna be more cherry red - I am thinking about toxic tale too and maybe green blue MES but I prefer to buy all used, I can't spend a fortune on MAC anymore

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Does anyone know how much more expensive it'll be for each product in £'s? :S If it's too much then I can justify skipping it.. or at least cutting down my list a lot!

Yeah, that was kinda my newest reaction to it.

On the cooling powder, I'm not sure how true this is, but one of my MA said that this powder is similar to a powder by Prescriptives if any one remembers or is familiar with that powder.

I read on Temptalia its due to the licensing and what nots of using Disney characters

I read an entry from someone else comparing the cooling powder to prescriptives. I've never tried that, though.

In a way I am nervous because I have a lot of money saved up and that may lead to me picking stuff up for the hell of it. I need to really stick to a couple of things. That will probably be easy though since these swatches don't really do a thing for me.
