Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm thinking I should buy Cherry lip pencil as well!
I'd reallyyyy like to use lip pencils, but I'd have no idea which ones to use since I mainly use corals and pinks.

Wish I could help but I'm new to lip liners!

I've been mia cause of work. I just wanted to tell all the ladies going to Events have fun!!!!!
My list keeps on changing. But I'm sure we'll be getting plenty of swatches in the next few days. Coming from someone who bases my purchases from swatches and reviews from here...Everyone taking time out to do that, you are awesome! Really appriciate it!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I got:
2 heartless
2 innocence, beware (was only going to look at it, of course, it was perfect on my skintone. Like I need another nude pink!)
Both MES eyeshadows- once I saw she who dares in person, had to have it. Was totally going to skip it!
BoaA- I'm not sure if I love it, but, I was afrai that it would sell out. It's very pretty, though.
So happy!

Good luck everybody! I hope you get everything you want!!

Since you are fair skinned, Heartless will look less bright and more mainstream on you - it's the safer of the two. Wicked Ways of course is much glossier and is also much more of a blue cast. It's also super-pigmented as far as glosses go.

I pre-ordered WW in a snap as soon as i tested it, but Heartless I'm leaving open to fate - i'd rather have a teeny bit more blue in my red lipsticks and I prefer crazier colors. On darker skin, Heartless will be the crazier one and WW will be more "meh", unless you have a very yellow cast.

Now I have a craving for a really deep purple/burgundy lip colour and, while I'd love to get all of them, I need to be selective (for now), so it would make sense to get Dark Deed if it has anything unique or special about it, as the others are perms.

Cunning is much more cool and purple than Dark Deed, which is warmer, more dried blood color. Cunning is glossier than Dark Deed. Your skin tone is going to make a big difference with these, but I still think Cunning was the nicest dark MAC lipstick this fall, since I wanted a cool tone and texture that wasn't too heavy.

I did a huge double take touching that powder too - serious reality distortion field! I tested mine out with a 187 and didn't have any flaking bits for the rest of the day, but I had a full face of the cream Mineralize foundation on. I DID have instant pores-be-gone wherever that powder hit, though, so yeah I'm a fan!!!

ended up skipping the unveiling event

i got to the mall at 5 (my MA told me she would put me on the list and that it started at 7) and they couldn't get me in until 8-8:30. so i left. what are the must haves?! i'm eyeing toxic tale lipstick and the polishes.

I have to use my damn phone now for pics. Sorry guys. I'll do my best. I'm think I'm about to cry.

Don't be sad about your camera - i'm another one of those people who thinks a well-reasoned description can be more useful in the long run than a picture!

I DO want to see a picture of you all decked out in an evil costume, though!

Also, your post made me smile a little, because it reminded me of the olden days where you could NEVER see your pictures until after you had them developed, unless you had a Polaroid! (We need an "elderly" smiley for these antiquated reminiscences!)

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm back from the VV event! So fun. lots of people. Too many for me to stay long. I was there at 6:50, filled my check list out in line and handed it to the artist to pull all my stuff. While I was waiting, I sipped on wonderful blackberry mint drink. Dressed up as the Evil Queen & got an instant photo> I just tweeted that here. The artist brought a tester of Wicked Ways for me while I waited also. There were plenty of artists on stanby for everything you needed to try, but couldn't get too. Cutie guys serving drinks and cocktails. I was there for 1/2 hour and didn't even look at the displays. It was too crowded around there. Thank goodness for online advance photos. Made my visit short, but sweet!

I loved the dress up element of the event. Seriously, highlight of my night! Everyone was getting into it. Photos of Cruella with Evil Queens. Real cute. Little girls were even there having a good time. Future MAC girls I'm sure!

I also loved the way the cool powder felt. Like someone was painting water on your face. Cool product, but maybe later. It was really too busy to get the full effect and talk to a MUA about it. I even saw a girl there with Temptalia's cheat sheet. I was so mad I left mine at home; but MAC gave us one anyway. I also loved seeing one of the senior trainers again. He always a joy to talk too for a bit; gave me the 411 on the next classes they will be having around town in Nov.

Its over. I came, I saw, I hauled. Out of my system and soon on my face. I love the boxes they items come in.
I got: both MES, Revenge is Sweet, BoA blush, De-Vile, Vainglorious, and a Bronze shadow in pan form. Been wanting that for a bit. I decided against Wicked Ways & Heartless cause I'm going to check out some of the MUFE rouges. So Happy with my stash! Enjoy your hauls ladies!

OMG KOP!! I miss it so badly

. I'm originally from that area...lived there the first 32 yrs of my life. If it wasnt for a rotten then husband I'd still be in PA. It was the Mall of Malls!

that mall has everything!!! so many stores. even though its not far from me, i make a few trips that way each year. the traffic is just CRAZY!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My MA just called me back and I clarified that I wanted Wicked Ways- thank god! That's another weight off. Anddd.... She got my card number so that she could bag my stuff and no one can sell it since I've had that happen to me in the past...

But yay!

There will now be zero stress when I go next Thursday! Except for maybe getting to the cash register in the mob that will more than likely appear.

SO excited!!!! Probably my biggest haul ever at 12 items from one collection....

I'm loving all these pics of events, by the way! Keep em coming!
