Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Well, it was so much to look at in a very very short time. The lighting was just terrible/dark
There is probably
something for everyone, but to be straight up honest - I wasn't totally wowed or overly excited by the collection. The packaging while cute, just seemed a little tacky. Someone else mentioned to me that it looked like 'fake MAC' (not my words). But, it is what it is.
The nail polishes are really dark but pretty in the bottles & very duochrome looking. Very hard to capture on camera. Bad Fairy was my favorite
I wasn't allowed to test the cooling powders
because they didn't want to lift the seal because they are mostly water. I'm like really, then if its going to evaporate or something then maybe I don't want to invest in a whole big jar of it. Or maybe that person was being weird.
Missing from the collection was Innocence Beware ls
of course, the one ls I really wanted to see.
The BP & Blushes:
I LOVED
Briar Rose - very pigmented. Its like maybe Summer Rose meets English Accents but more colorful/deeper. More Orchid Violet Pink. Not like Summer Rose or Azalea Blossom.
Bite Of An Apple - Brighter slight red/pink/coral - Almost like Joie-De-Vivre cream blush in powder form. Darker pink coral than Marine life.
Oh So Fair - A pretty med. soft yellow pink, but fairly pigmented. Nothing special, but still a pretty soft pink.
Darkly My Dear Blush - A nice brown plum, maybe lighter than Fab, but you could still see the plum.
Her Own Devices - Light neutral tan - couldn't hardly get it to show up on me. Maybe on some it would be a good contour but we probably all have something similar.
The glosses are pretty, more pigmented. They swatch way different than they appear in the tubes.
Revenge Is Sweet - My Favorite! Like Briar Rose in a tube. A Brighter more orchid violet pink than English Accents. Beautiful & would be great with Briar Rose
Strange Potion - Beautiful bright med. Coral Pink - Perfect match for Bite Of An Apple. Lighter Joie-De-Vivre
Wicked Ways - Looked like a light peach with gold
Devilishly Stylish - Pretty Deeper Pink Fuchsia
Wrong Spell - Very Dark Brown Burgundy Plum, but looked strange just blah dark poopy brown
maybe it was the lighting
Hot House - ya'll are fimiliar with it
Lipsticks:
Violetta - ya'll know about that one
Toxic Tale - Very Bright pigmented Coral Pink. Deeper Brighter Joie-De-Vivre maybe more pinky coral. Not like Vegas Volt at all. VV is a lighter more orangish color in comparison.
Sinister - hmm, Sheerer light tan/brown with gold tones. Was light on my hand.
Heartless - Beautiful true med/deep red - Loved it!
Eyeshadows:
Her Alter Image - Basic light violet. Didn't seem to have a lot of color payoff
Vile Violette - Pretty violet/blue purple. Swatches on the dustier side of violet purple. decent color payoff. Its nice
Dark Deed - Deep darkend Burgundy Plum. Pretty, but also close to many other dark burgundy ls
Vainglorious - Beautiful rich deep Burgundy Plumy Copper Brown
De Vil - Orange med Copper
Sweet Joy - Smooth light butter cream gold. Probably not too unique
You've seen carbon & the glittery mineral shadows
Pigments:
Purple is very deep purple & the other one is a very bright pink fuchsia
I will be getting:
Briar Rose
Bite Of An Apple
Heartless
Revenge Is Sweet
Innocence Beware
Strange Potion
Oh So Fair - maybe
Pictures to come
