Yes, except for that lightest one they are fairly opaque & pigmented at least on my hand as I didn't put them on my lips.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Yesterday I started thinking and worrying about the availability and sell out rate of this collection, so naturally - I dreamt that I went to a store and asked if I could pre-order...and I think in my dream it wasn't allowed

Not sure of the end result - I just know I was still feeling unsettled

I just hope it isn't too crowded or sold out by the time/day I go!

Yes Space Cadet is the Orly dupe, for Mean and Green. It is gorgeous too!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I finally managed to catch up with this one!! I spent the last 3-4 days trying to do so... I read +70 pages!!

... and now I'm joining the fun!!

I already confirmed for the release event for the collection on Oct 16th!! Mmm so excited!!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My top picks for this collection would be
- Vainglorious (it was the first item that caught my attention with BoaA)
- Bite Of An Apple
- French Quarter GPS (this really surprised me in a good way!)
- Strange Potion
- Melon (I only have a sample but soon a full size jar

)

From lipsticks I prolly like TT and I,B! The beauty powders (BR and OSF) are up in the air, I think I will swatch them and then decide however I feel then. And I still want either De-Vil or Coppering. Even though there are few items I want, this collection overall doesn't get me too excited, FF was too good!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Ok, Erin said get Bite of an Apple and Vile Violet (tried to forget about it, but I love a gorgeous, deep purple) so, I must

. I'll also get Toxic Tale and Strange Potion. Those are my absolute buys. I am leaving myself open to one maybe 2 surprises. I'm thinking that will be Dark Deed and/or Wicked Ways. Ok, I feel better now that that's settled.

Oh okay, duh! They do look really similar... Mean & Green still looks slightly better to me though. I think I'll (kinda) splurge and get the MAC.

At first everybody named the red-fuchsia lipglass Devilishly Stylish, but all the recent swatches (Erin, Temptalia, Pixie,...) called it Wicked Ways

So, which is it?

I have to order soon (for a cp) and I really need to be 100% sure asap.

I also have a question regarding the colour - is it cherry red with some pink-fuchsia shimmer (from the swatches I'm really seeing red, but it could be due to the monitor), or is it true to its description (deep fuchsia)? TIA

I also found a swatch of OPI's supposed dupe for Bad Fairy, and I don't like it all that much... Is it just an unfortunate pic? http://fleurdeforce.blogspot.com/201...burlesque.html

I hope they do, too. I'm giving them until tomorrow, and if they don't call back, I will call on Saturday. Hell, I may even go to the counter. I think I will, actually.

On the sheet where Erin did the original swatches, Devilishly Stylish was the deep fuchsia. But, I am confused as well. Which is it???

I'm wondering the same thing. Is it red, or fuchsia? I'll just have to swatch it myself, I guess, tho it does look really red in pics. I hope it is! I don't need another fuchsia.

As u can see in my profile, I'm in Ottawa and get my Orly from Sally's. If we can get it in Ottawa, I'm sure u can get it in MTL, lol!

I will also cross Bad Fairy off my list then, I rather pay less and get OPI. I prefer OPI's wide brush to MAC's.

Yep, on the original sheet it's Devilishly stylish, but on the hand swatch even Erin called it WW. I'm actually a bit more inclined to believe that the correct name is WW - mainly because all the girls from the exclusive preview are unanimous.

I, too, am hoping for a nice 'holiday' red

. Fingers crossed

When I went to temptalia MAC Venomous Villains: Cruella de Vil Review, Photos, Swatches she describes it as a cherry red with golden shimmer and on my screen it does look like a jelly cherry red kinda of like a red jolly rancher kinda red I don't see fuchsia shimmer more gold shimmer .

As for the fuchsia/hot pink lipglass that would be hot house from the evil queen part. HTH

Yeah, I guess it is Wicked Ways. Good to know so I don't reserve the wrong thing.

Thanks doll

! OMG, I had to google jolly rancher. Specktra is so educational

. I believe you're right about the shimmer too - I saw some pink/watermelony undertones and I wasn't sure if it was the colour or the shimmer.

I know that the 'hot pink/fuchsia' one is Hot House (MAC's official description is Deep raspberry with pink pear), I used the term deep fuchsia because that's how MAC described it. To me (from what I've seen so far), the deep raspberry description is not the best for Hot House and neither is Deep Fuchsia for WW... But since I haven't seen either IRL, it's really not my place to judge.

I definitely do not want to order the wrong one. Just imagine the disappointment - especially since the other one (presumably Devilishly Stylish) is so sheer and plain

They're soldout for the moment but I'd keep checking back before the collection launch. If you can't get a hold of the dupe go for MAC's version. HTH

does anyone know if this applies in New York or Boston - am leaving tomorrow for holiday in the US (very excited! lots of hauling planned

) but am only there until the 26th! So would be very happy if VV was released early in pro stores.

(really should plan my holidays around MAC release dates next time!)

Exactly! I'm going to have the MA check the box before I walk away with it

If I ended up with the nude one, I would be seriously pissed. Not for me.
