MAC - Venomous Villains Discussion

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I have a list. I wont say this is my final list because things might get marked off. I spent alot of time looking at swatches and comparing to the dupe list. I got it narrowed down. I am only interested in products from the Cruella collection.

So here it is:

Innocence Beware l/s
Sweet Joy e/s
Darkly My Dear Blush
Her Own Devices BP

Everything is still a maybe. Total: $75

uh, hell yeah!!! i will be rockin' that liner like nobody's business!

btw, the closest colour i've come across to describe vile violet (there is no mac shadow dupe) is faultlessly F/W lipstick. tho the lipstick is darker, its the same shade of purple.

That would be great, then you'd get a little of the edgy design along with the classic Disney colorful cartoony-ness.

At this point, I need Strange Potion! It looks like a regular gloss on the back of the hand-swatch, but on her lips it looks so cool! Like a semi-matte gloss - totally different and interesting, plus the colour is great, I love it!

It is indeed a "strange" potion!

Sorry if this has been asked but I didn't see DR. FACILIER's I’m So Vain mirror in her stuff. Did I miss it? Is it still in the collection?

I hope so too...and I think it would make sense for them to have a bigger stock (at least, a little bigger than usual) since they have to share the profit with Disney?

Then again, I guess the price hike is most of what will go to Disney, so maybe not...but more product sold means more money for both...Hm........

This is kinda off-topic, but can someone (Erin, HerGreyness?) tell me why they made a severely limited amount of Marine Life? It seemed like there were a lot more people who would have bought it if only it had been available. Was it a supply/demand mis-estimation, or was it on purpose? Or am I wrong about the demand being a lot higher than the supply?

It took me a while to find it !

MAC Venomous Villains Collection for Disney Information & Photos


It's the pic in between Cajun magically cool liquid powder and the LipGelee !

BTW, I don't understand why MAC didn't go for the most obvious choice of character to put on the mirror ! It would be sooo cool to have Evil Queen's mirror !!!

What is 0-15 level and 4.5-7 level? What does that mean?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Ah man, I think I'm getting into the spirit. My fellow brown girls got me looking at things I was going to skip. It's funny that this is coming out after Fab Felines and yet I have a better grip on this collection.

Thanks, I saw it in earlier pics. But I guess they just didn't include it in their press kits, or I missed it. Seems weird as it appeared they received one of every other product.

But yeh, makes way more sense to put a mirror with Evil Queen. But I will still buy it as I love him and Super Disney fan forever.

Yeah, I really like the BR compact, but it seems so Azalea Blossom to me too

I'll probably just reserve BR then head into my store first thing in the morning with AB in my purse ready to be compared. One thing that keeps me interested in BR is that it might be just warmer enough than AB to give a more exciting flushed look. AB is stylish and pretty but it's not wild, crazy and post-coital

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I wonder which blushes/beauty powders would be good for nw15? The cool pink ones, I know, but I wonder if they're unique enough, since I already have light cool pink blushes. For some reason I'm gravitating towards Her own devices though.

I can't imagine Disney wanting to play the MAC you only get 3 LE items game. Oh well we'll see! The Cruella lippies look like they match the glosses perfectly. Innocence Beware and Deviously Stylish Heartless and Wicked Ways Revenge is Sweet reminds me of something from HK that I missed. Maybe Sweet Strawberry? its pretty!

In some ways though, I wonder if Disney is doing much marketing of it's own? Cause to me, so far, I've only seen MAC marketing... and Disney fans that aren't MACheads possibly wouldn't have come into contact with it. I guess it's got to be promoted in the media streams that Disney fans would come across too.

1. the hype creates the demand
2. the demand is greater than the supply and the supply is controlled.
3. economically, if MAC made x thousands additional product, the demand would drop as well as the price.

think of DeBeers and diamonds

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I just saw a tut on Temptalia using some of the products from VV.. and it was a total disappointment.

The copper ES from this collection is now described as "bronze" -- when it is confirmed it is copper and in effect could be dupped by Coppering

the Innocence beware looks like Myth to me.. very pale and ghostly looking.

-- and the blush, at least on her looks meh

me no like -- it was boring and ordinary.. sorry

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

yes other than the mes i am not impressed with the shadows in the collection at al. but to be fair i wasn't when all we had was colour descriptions. swatches just backed up my thoughts

I'm so glad I take Business.
I'm gonna try not to turn this into a business/economics lesson.. but basically:

"When supply and demand are equal (i.e. when the supply function and demand function intersect) the economy is said to be at equilibrium. At this point, the allocation of goods is at its most efficient because the amount of goods being supplied is exactly the same as the amount of goods being demanded."

". Excess Supply
If the price is set too high, excess supply will be created within the economy and there will be allocative inefficiency.
2. Excess Demand
Excess demand is created when price is set below the equilibrium price. Because the price is so low, too many consumers want the good while producers are not making enough of it."

So basically, this would apply to MAC. They need to keep prices at a level where there is enough to create demand but not lower it. By making products restricted, the demand would increase, but the price wouldn't.

I hope that makes sense :S

Agreed. I could probably look in her archives and find something exactly the same using perm products
