But I didn't drink at all! All I had was green tea before bed. Weird, long dreams are very common with me though. Yeah I have it on my mind as well as bloody grungy butchers apparently.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My VV list is final (no, like really final... I promise... I think)
NC30:
~ Wicked Ways- I need a red lipgloss
~ Heartless- love red lipstick
~ Darkly My Dear- love plum-brown blushes for fall
~ Bite of an Apple blush- I really hope this is more red IRL
~ She Who Dares mineralize e/s duo- I really need that green
~ Dark Deed lipstick- love dark lipsticks

My list is at $106.50 (not bad)

If anything disappoints or I have a bit more cash since I doubt my maybe products will sell out fast, I'll get these:
~ Sinister lipstick- if it's not like The Prowl (I really want 1 lipstick from each villainness)
~ Vainglorious e/s- it looks beautiful & I'm satisified that's it's different enough from Cranberry or Star Violet- but I just looked through my magazines & a CoverGirl e/s looks a lot like this (Queen collection in Raisin)
~ Wrong Spell lipglass- do I need a reason for another dark lipgloss?

and that's another $46.50 (not that much worse)

For my perm collection I should probably get pan forms of carbon & coppering (a dupe for De-Vil)

They are very similar. I'm giving my money to MAC because I've been very dissatisfied with Orly's quality in the polishes of theirs that I own.

I've also decided to give Bite of an Apple a shot. Not really my style, but neither was Stereo Rose and it turned out to be surprisingly interesting. At the very least, I'll try it on.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Hopefully she does a review and comparison with the polishes from this collection. It's not like MAC doesn't toss polish her way to review occasionally.
I'm really hoping for little difference I don't wanna return Space Cadet since I bought it mere hours ago lol

err.. if you don't like AB.. you will probably not like BR.. so if I were you, without swatching it, I would skip it

Lol, and your answer helped me

I will get Briar Rose as I looooove Azalea blossom. It goes with most looks I do so mine has a big dent in it.

So far I'm happy with my list of three items: BOA, Briar rose and Bad Fairy n/p.

I LOVE Orly's formula. Never had any bad experience with them and I have a lot of their polishes. MAC is hit and miss for me though, since this year they've improved their formula a bit. I picked up all the dupes for the VV collection from Orly's Cosmic FX already and they are gorgeous, apply like a dream

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I just got Space Cadet a few days ago and I love it. It looks sort of purple most of the time. I love how it changes color. I work retail so no polish really lasts on me all that long, but I think it's holding up as well as any other polish does.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm undecided about darkly my dear, I really like prim and proper from spring but darkly my dear might be too dark and too plum for me! However bite of an apple looks great and so does briar rose

I shall be getting Mean and Green.

And like ShadowyLady said, I think their formula has been improving a lot recently

Usually "sunny" setting is good or if you can put it on the K temp put it on 5200

This is why I take all my photos outside in natural light. I like the sunny setting. Sometimes I just rely on auto when I am outdoors.

I love the side-eye Evil Queen is given on her display. Seriously, don't mess with her!

For this collection, make your list and take it with you. At events they give you a paper to fill out with what you want anyway. They pull the items for you. I say the best bet is to do that in advance. You can always quickly cross stuff off after swatching, KWIM. I don't see that as a problem, unless they want you to write on special MAC paper.

That event is going to be crazy!

Yeah I don't think Orly is shitastic either...I can't see myself purchasing a polish from MAC really. It's either been duped or it will be eventually.

Dirty Martini and Beyond Jealous I thought I couldn't live without and now so many options!

Edit: I've just learned to give it time, NOT hype or label.
I think it's hilarious Chanel's Jade nailpolish that was wait-listed at the time is easily purchased at Claires or the Milani display now!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

It's my fave villain's colors for sure!
