Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Infinite possibilities...
Is it super horribly that I am super-tipsy, and I super-wish that this collex was out on the website so that I could place an order and chock it up to being tipsy?
Oh well it isn't but I can dream of the magic water powder stuff and... briar rose
and evil queen makeup... I guess

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I'd like to try it.. but powders generally look really powdery/cakey to me, even when I only put a tiny bit on. I might have to go to the store and see if I can try it out a bit. Is the powder LE or perm?

Evil Queen is the one I'm most excited about, especially Strange Potion L/G and Bite of an Apple Blush. Hot House L/G also looks soooooooooo HOT, but I would like to compare it to Magnetique before I decide if I'm going to get it or not
I'm also excited to check Wicked Ways L/G from Cruella... wow it seems in addition to BOA Blush Lip-Glasses is what is catching my eyes in this collection

Hmmm. I'll probably try it out then and see where it takes me.. but I doubt I'll get it cause I'm determined to get my list down!

Okay...I'm going to go back to my tangent, I'm sorry for cluttering the thread...I guess I'm ASKING for an econ lesson! Sorry...
Ah...so for MAC, since equilibrium is pretty much impossible (I do remember that much from Econ class since nobody can predict the exact supply/demand curve...too many variables involved, right?), companies (especially companies like MAC that make luxury/nonessential goods) want to err on the side of caution regarding supply...since any excess supply means possibly lost money? A small excess demand is better for the company, whereas an excess supply would be to the advantage of the consumer?
Though it seems like since it is a nonperishable (well, more so than some essentials like fresh food--fresh fruit/vegetables/meat/etc.) couldn't they afford a little excess supply? I guess they DO...that's what ends up in the CCOs?
So would this be for all products, or just LE ones? Or just their most popular/most hyped items?
Wow...I kinda wish I had gone into business or something now.

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. |

Well, think of it in common sense terms - LE are only on the shelf for one month.. perm items are there for years.
So whereas an excess supply for a perm product isn't really that bad.. a LE has to be sold within a month, isn't normally sold after then, and so it's demand would fall, meaning an excess supply of a LE product would be a lot harder to shift.
As HerGreyness as mentioned though, you can never have economic equilibrium, hence why some things sell out faster then others, and some products are on the shelves at CCO's for years after it's released.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
My favourite is the Maleficent collection, I want those nail polishes, she who dares, and dark deed lipstick. I even love her face on the products.
I remembered when I was little I was so scared watching the part in cruella de vil where the puppies are sneaking out, crossing the road trying to make cruella not see them. It was like watching a horror movie, I thought they would become fur coats for sure. Perhaps that's why the lipstick packaging with her holding a puppy freaks me out a little. haha!

I decided I want to get one item from each character. Minus the Dr. I don't see anything appealing.

I'm still staying strong at my list of two BPs, the two MES, and a GPS + pigment. I'm wondering if I need the GPS or the pigment though. If I already have Grape, do I need Push the Edge? And is Slick Black a staple?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Does anyone can tell me if the black GPS is really long lasting on the waterline? I already give up of finding something that I don't need to reapply after 1 hour (the last that I tried, Chromagraphic Liner Black, simply disappeared after 10 minutes
)

Have you tried Feline eye kohl and a gel liner on top? I always do Feline+mufe aqua black and it does not budge. Alone, though Feline disappears in 2 minutes on me.
