Aww Thanks!

You may want to. I'm sure the MAC market in CA is much more competitive

I would have ordered online, but with all my maybes in this collection, I think it is safer for me to go see/swatch everything. I'm sorry you'll be out of town

I don't think everything will be sold out by Oct. 2, but I'm sure a few pieces will be. I think it depends on what you want. I reserved the MES because I think they will go quick at my counter.

I guess it also depends on how attached you are to the things you are interested in.

^ Thank you, Salina! I really have to study the swatches, and listen to everyone's review carefully until the release day.

Yep- that's what I've been doing, and will continue to do so until the day of release.

I am trying to break the cycle and focus on things I actually do need like clothes/shoes. This collection is the last one that I am getting a few things from and then I am cut off from MAC for hopefully a long time. And even though I am super excited about this collection now, I promised to myself I am going to be very selective and not go crazy.

Yes to everything you said. I hear ya girl! I have my wedding next summer and me and my fiance are pretty much paying for it ourselves. I'm trying to be choosy when it comes to getting stuff right now. Thats why my VV list keeps shrinking. After TT I am going on a MAC break. But once that metal collection next year comes out I'm going to be ALL OVER IT. I am soooooooo excited for that!

on topic..... Briar Rose or OSF. I cant seem to make up my mind!

I'm NC20. Anyone else debating between these two?

If you like purple/cool toned blushes then get Briar Rose; it is also a lot more pigmented than OSF.

I'm NC35 and I thought Azalea Blossom looked pretty meh on me, so I'm skipping Briar Rose and getting OSF instead. Not sure if OSF is going to work as a blush on me, but I like the color (and the packaging!) anyhow so yeah...

Originally I was debating, but than the MAC monster (myself

) made the decision that I should get both. But, I think Briar Rose will be a better blush. I'm planning on using OSF for other things since it doesn't seem pigmented enough to be a decent blush.

I did the opposite and decided to get NEITHER.

Money saved, yay! (Actually, I'm only getting Slick Black GPS from this, decided not to get Innocence Beware since I don't really like the nude lips look on me, it looks great on others though.)

from what i have read before you have a list and you tick what you want and then you get it baged up and you pay at the register. there are usually drinks and possibly food as well

and it is always very busy!

I hope I,B! is more pink than nude, I don't like full on nude lips on myself either, so if it's has enough pink in it it's okay, otherwise I'll skip it. Also I have to swatch it with Hue if it's different enough.

I'm thinking about skipping the beauty powders too. I think I'll be just fine with Shell Pearl and Summer Rose. If Oh So Fair has amazing texture (and it gives a sheen like SP) and shows up without layering I might get it. If it's dull on skin like the beauty powders from Hello Kitty then skip it is.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

That is a good question. Does anyone know if these Beauty Powders have a sheen like the Liberty on London ones, or are they dull like Hello Kitty?

Deep Purple pigment is so pretty and I want to haul it one day. I think you are fine with just the two. I don't have Young Punk so getting My Dark Magic is a definite for me. I like the pinkish side of it as well. Young Punk and Deep Purple don't have that.

I'll stop while I'm still ahead! I've purchased tons of make-up this year and need to cut back. Thus I'm looking for what I consider unique items from collections and these are the things that caught my eye. Plus Her Greyness says BoA blush is unique and I trust her judgement!

said it before and will continue to say it.. BOA is a unique colour.. will all of you love it? nope.. will all of you think I am insane.. maybe.

Great!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Good for you!

I will be picking up Slick Black, as well.

I really need to get a full size Deep Purple. Right now, I am living off of samples, and it is my favorite pigment!

I can already tell I won't like it, unfortunately. I have permanent redness from sunburns in my face, and it looks to close to that. If I wear BOA, no matter how pretty it is, I will look crazy.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My list is getting shorter and shorter as my excitement is wearing off. Right now I have only one "must have", the lighter shade of the Magically Cool Liquid Powder. Even that one is not a "must have" if it turns out to be too dark. Just a couple of days ago I had also Innocence, Beware!, Dark Deed, Oh So Fair and BoaA, but now I feel I'm not going to buy any if these unless they turn out to be amazing.

BoaA got demoted to a "low priority maybe" after I wore today my beloved, but rarely used Frankly Scarlet. FS gives the perfect flush cheeks that I anticipated also the BoaA to give. I can't believe I haven't used FS for ages.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Bah

So, I have to be out of town from launch day through sunday. Here's hoping my MA will give me a peek the day before and let me pre-order.

This wasn't a collection I wanted to guesstimate on, but I suppose I'll have to now. This is going to be super $$$.
