And if you go to your counter when it opens the day of release? That's what i always do and i can get everything i want. Here we can't reserve our products.

I'll probably be able to get everything I want, but I am a big worrywart, and especially with this collection. I don't think I've been this excited about a collection ever. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed, and hope that I get everything I want.

And I hope that everyone else here on Specktra will be able to get what they want!

Yay, sounds good!

That happens to me ALL the time with make-up! Eventually I just give up the debate and buy the damn thing. I think BOA would be so pretty on you, I can't wait to hear what you think of everything after you check it out.

I'm waffling on the perm item to get with my haul from this collection. I was planning on getting Rebel l/s with FF, but that order ended up being so small I got a brush instead. Maybe I'll get it this time, it's so gorgeous...I need it!

Since this will be a huge haul for me, I bought my perm item with FF and I'm counting it as 2 since it was a quad I've been meaning to get.... Four pan shadows can count for two collections, right?

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

Ya I have two MAC nailpolishes and they arnt that great. I love Orly's n/p's. Only thing I hate is if I put too many coats on and a nochip topcoat the polish just falls off!

And for those on the fence with Mean and Green, I have the dupe and its AWESOME! GET IT

I also bought the dark blue and peacock blue from Cosmic FX and they are great as well!

OMG!

Thank you for posting that! *crosses Bad Fairy off list* My list seems to be getting smaller. MAC and UD has been putting a hole in my pocket so I need to cut back as much as humanly possible. I'm now on the fence with the MES duo. I dont use my young punk mes or Later piggy that often so

Are you talking about It's Not Rocket Science as the dupe? Mean & Green looks different to me when I compare swatches.. Are they actually closer than they appear?

I'll definitely wait for the OPI one, especially since it looks like there are a couple of other colours I want from the collection. Besides, OPI is cheaper than Mac.

Orly doesn't seem to be available in Canada, so I'm leaving Mean & Green on my list. It looks fabulous.

I think Space Cadet is the Mean and Green dupe. From pics I've seen, they're practically identical!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I want BoaA but I fear it's gonna come out looking too much like Exhibit A on my skin. I like Exhibit A and all, but I'm not lookin to buy something that I already have. I'd never use all of Push The Edge, but I really want that pigment. Decisions, decisions.

I'm also tempted to get Heartless but I never wear red lippies.

My list has gotten so small from this collection.

Right now I want Darkly My Dear b/c I have nothing like it, and PTE.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Y'all better let us know when VV hits the pro stores so we can go check it out early!

I'm actually starting to get a little excited...

Yay thanks! Now I'll def take Bad Fairy off my list and I can take something from my maybe-list to my get it-list.

Today I compared my bright red lippies to Heartless swatches and realized I've nothing like it. That bright pure red is really calling my name now!

Going through my lip products I also noticed I don't have a bright red lipgloss so I started eyeing the red gloss from Cruella. Which one is it: Wicked Ways or Devilishly Stylish? I'm seeing both names on it.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Thank you for clearing that up Elegant!

I was hoping it would be more like Heartless but it's still very pretty. I'll compare Devilishly Stylish and Hot House to see which one I like more. Are they both opaque on lips?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Not sure if this is standard everywhere, but the pro store here has started getting collections a week before their official release date. So I would guess it'll be available the 23rd.

Sorry, I guess I was wrong

.. I don't own Pink Swoon so I'm not sure what the color tone is, thought I just shared the information that I got from a friend who work at MAC. But there's nothing wrong with trying to help other makeup fella right? Who knows it could be a great combo for other people on this thread
