Also, should I call it in, or go in with my list? I have no idea what protocol is here! Thanks in advance.

I was kind of embarrassed by how large mine was, so I just picked my top 3 must-haves and reserved those. But, don't be embarrassed! My MA is really nice and she always gives me her opinion on the products and keep in mind, if they're working at MAC, more than likely, they like makeup! A huge list probably won't faze them one bit.

My invite said Square One. I'm not sure if I will go to that (not sure if anyone will want to come with me

) or if I will just go to a counter earlier in the day. I was actually quite surprised that my invite didn't say Eaton Centre!

You guys, I'm wavering on Bite of an Apple again. I don't think I really want it, but I keep hearing that I need to have it. Know what I mean? I'm really happy with the coral blushes I already have and will never run out of.

What do you mean "go to a counter earlier in the day?" My invite is for Sept 21, which is more than a week before the collection comes out. Or am I missing something? Do you mean go to a counter early the day it comes out to get the stuff you want before it's all gone?

And it doesn't seem like they check to make sure you got an invite - when I called to RSVP she just got my name and phone number, nothing about email address. Unless they cross-reference, but I highly doubt it. I'm sure you can just call the Eaton Centre store to RSVP if that's where you want to go - or come as my guest

I don't have any make-up friends, so I'm pretty sure my +1 will be open. lol

For those who have seen/swatched Oh So Fair beauty powder, how would you compare it to Blooming blush colour wise? TIA!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I am pretty sure I am getting the 3 beauty powders, Strange potion l/g and Toxic tale l/s. Thinking about Hot House l/g and BoA.

I like the look...minimally sculpted with a bit of a pink flush. I am NC20 now.. and range between NC15-20. HTH

Would you please post a cheek swatch/cheek look with OSF? I would love to see how well it shows up and how it looks!!!!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Oh, another thing is that the makeover event at the store I called was for 45 minute appointments with a $50 minimum purchase...Good thing it's going on for 3 days I guess! I bet it will be a madhouse...

I'm so sorry! I didn't keep the invite open long and I didn't realize the date said Sept. 21st

I assumed it was launch day, oops

Oh boy, now I REALLY want to go!

Square One is easier for me, but having a makeup partner in crime would be well worth the travel, lol

Did you have to choose a time slot or is it open for people to come at any time?

BTW, thank you for your generous offer!!!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I opened the store today to find a shipment had arrived. As I started opening boxes I realized it was the entire Venomous Villains collection!

Ok seriously me and the other artist were like 2 little girls at Christmas time with all the boxes!

I have to admit I was not a huge fan of the packaging but when we saw the the actual boxes the products come in, You guys are going to LOVE IT!

We both kept saying they should have used that for the actual product. The outer boxes are matte black with the outline sketches of each character, very chic, very MAC. The interior of each box looks like satin fabric all draped and has a glossy finish, each collection has a different color.
I am so getting the nail polishes, the Mean Green one is trip. When my friend took it out I did not get the "green" part, it looked like the other Bad Fairy..but when you tilt the bottle the green comes out of nowhere ( how did you guys do that???)

Off my list: The mirror...Dr. Faciler looks straight up creepy on the front. I thought they should have gone with the obvious The Evil Queen, "Mirror, Mirror" right???

Oh well

The cooling powders, Have to have them both. GORGEOUS.

I could go on here..but this collection has my complete attention right now!

They are really vibrant, for the pic I used Fix+ on my bare skin, no base.

Definitely an improvement! I won't have to worry about using them up

Sushi~Flower, after seeing the products, what do you think will sell out first? I am trying to decide if I should call and reserve a few more things instead of risking it.

I know!! I don't know how I don't own this

We can't order online or over the phone here in Mexico, but my Pro it's a 15 minutes walk away from home... So, next time there I'm definitely picking it up!!

I hope they have it.
