I too wear violetta with gold's and ambers, dark bronze in crease.. the combination seems to work really well for me.

I plan to get another 2 Violetta's from this collex for the cases

its going to be exciting.

definite hauls:

de-vil
my dark magic
she who dares
bite of an apple

maybes after swatching:

vainglorious
sinister
revenge is sweet
dark deed

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Just over 4 weeks and counting... Now the serious tweaking of the wish list starts.

(almost) Definite:
Heartless
Vile Violet
Bite of an Apple
Dark Deed
Wrong Spell
She who Dares
Mean & Green
Truth & Light

Maybe... depends on swatching
Devilishly Stylish- if it doesn't look too much like True Babe or Just Add Colour
Toxic Tale- if it doesn't look too much like Vegas Volt
Strange Potion- if it doesn't look too much link Pink Lemonade
Oh So fair- if it looks distinct enough from other pink blushes
My Dark Magic- if it doesn't look too much like Young Punk
Briar Rose- if it's different and cooler than Azalea Blossom
French Quarter- if it doesn't look too much like Dirty or Greengrease
Push the Edge- if I feel like buying it instead of Grape for some reason

i wore violetta today! i used the smokey eyes palette from 2007 - the silver side and it went very well. the lippie lasted a very long time too! so i was very impressed with it! i need to rock subtle eyes and brighter lips more often!

I just called to the store and registered for 7:00 PM. Yay!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I am skipping violetta, I have a feeling it will look more fuschia toned on my cool toned pale skin rather than purple like on temptalia. Besides, it's a pro color so I can pick it up any time.

i'm nc20 and depending on what liner i wear depends on how purple/pink it looks. i used cranapple liner today to make it more pink

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I use it with a cheap Magenta (Jordana) liner

.. and it is a great match

Just called my store and they're NOT having a launch event- just the days after where you can get your makeup done.

Everyone have fun at yours for me!!!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My list is kinda out-of-hand. And I have to admit, it has changed several times but, I think this is it!

I'm still unsure about Toxic Tale but, I have a strong feeling it will be a no go for me.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Yeah my list has changed a bunch of times, first I wanted toxic tale but then that got replaced by dark deed and now I want heartless even though I don't wear full on reds that often.

I am not sure if I need Oh So Fair, temptalias swatches makes me think is it similar to the usual drugstore brand light pink blushes with no pigmentation? lol

I am also on the fence about the apple blush as it doesn't seem to be as red as I wanted.

Gee I wonder what will pop on to my list next.
oooh decisions decisions! haha

 

[kiss]

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

One reason I am not sure if I need heartless is because I don't think it can get any better than port red. It's the prettiest red I ever tried.

It's ok, but it looks a bit weak. I love Sweet Strawberry and it's very pigmented on my lips. I doubt that will be the case with RIS. Plus, I can see what Temptalia said about it settling into lip lines. I have a little problem with that, so I don't need a gloss that is more prone to doing that.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Yikes, so many pages to go through I don't know if I can keep up!

Before they even announced villains, I was set on a Cruella de Vil red. Heartless and Wicked Ways are still at the top of my wantlist after all this time!.

1. Does anyone think Dubonnet, Totally Fab (Dazzlecreme) and Russian Red are too close to the above.. ? Don't want to wander into dupe territory.

2. A little OT but will they accept B2M empties for Dare to Wear lipglass? If they still have Gimme That by now, it's meant to be.

3. When are the event dates for everyone? I know it varies but am just wondering when to call and RSVP.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I've decided to skip Heartless. I was playing with Brave Red just now and it's close enough for me. I'll just get Wicked Ways lipglass and rock those two together, if I want. Plus, I am not in love with Amplifieds, at all. (why do I think this is the "skip" I will fall back on?

)

So I am definitely getting Wicked Ways and Strange Potion l/g. I'm also getting Vile Violet shadow. I want to wear it with Contrast

. I'm interested in Toxic Tale. I keep going back and forth. I think I have to skip it. I have very little luck with those shades and it's a Satin (my #1 enemy). I've also backed off of the magic liquid powder thingy. It's not going to do anything for me that my other powders can't do. Plus, I don't trust things like that from Mac not to break me out.

The wild card is Bite of an Apple blush. I have so many Nars blushes and a couple are very close to BoaA. The only difference really is the finish. I don't see a look that I can do with BoaA that I can't achieve with a blush I already own. The in store swatch will have to blow me away completely. I'm considering Dark Deed just b/c it's Maleficent, but I have to see that in person, too. I have similar lipsticks.

So with just WW, SP, and VV my total is just $46.50

. I'm trying to not even come close to $100. It's getting ridiculous. I need to buy clothes, not all this make up.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I don't know why I didn't read temptalia's post closer, but I didn't know it was confirmed the boxes would have the sketches on them! My excitement just went through the roof for this collection!!! Really disappointed my store won't be having a launch party, though.

I know! I am trying to have a breakthrough from less makeup to more clothes but it's soooo hard. It's like I have all this expensive makeup and nothing to wear.

I've never really been into clothes, thank god-

Makeup is the only thing I really buy a lot of. I'm a Buffalo Exchange kind-of-person, I guess. I just have a basic wardrobe

lol I always picture myself being as a victim on the "how do I look?" or "what not to wear" show.
