MAC - Venomous Villains Discussion

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I hate ordering limited stuff from the MAC website,after the Marine Life and Stereo Rose drama.I was able to order those before they were sold out,but never received them.I remember talking on the phone with someone from their customer service and she said that the site updates only every 20 minutes.So items might still show as available and you're able to order them,when their really already sold out.I hope I can get my stuff from another site,the closer the release date comes the more I'm worried I'll get everything I wanted.

Too funny! My Hubby just rolls his eyes when I talk about VV. Then when I tell him I'll be stalking the site, he just shakes his head.

Don't forget about Ripe Peach. Stereo Rose was a full-time job and a half for me. I doubt this collection will be anything like those. I know that MAC counters all over my area are doing holds at the moment so I'm thinking everything will be just fine.

oh hahaha well mine shakes his head too... i always find new ways to surprise him with my makeup obsession...sometimes i am so engrossed in the swatch thread when i am planning out my hauls that he'll be saying something to me and i am so in-the-zone that i completely miss what he is saying...

i guess he has learned that no amount of shaking his head will discourage my obsession, and that if he can't beat it, then the best thing to do is to join in on the fun.

I saw that someone who's NW15 likes the BOA so I am thinking of getting that. Thanks again to everyone!

i wouldn't wrote them all off-i'm nw15 and they all work on me. i guess that is only helpful for you in regards to HOD. OSF is gorgeous on me, but i think it would looks similar on nw20 skin. if you were going to pick just one, i would recommend OSF, but that's more a matter of personal preference-you'd probably be good with either, it just depends on what you're looking for. of course, i also love BOA, so if you're only get one cheek product, that would definitely be a good buy.

But I'm not sure which one. I love blues and greens, AND purples. If I cannot decide, then maybe just one lipstick.

i think it's good that other people will be buying mac

it will introduce them to a great brand.

The MAC pro store usually releases the collections a week early so they should have the collection out today!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

For anybody that has access to the MAC Pro website, is there anything sold out? It really worries me that it's available early to pro and not on the regular website.

We only have one counter here in town that sells MAC, so if I can't get it here, I'm limited to online only.

Um, okay - it's just makeup though, there will always be dupes. I get the frustration for not getting things in time, but life goes on.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

This is SO helpful! How much pigmentation can you get with OSF, like enough for blush? Any chances of a picture?

I'm like her- more of a classic Disney fan, and this movie totally did it for me. I haven't liked many of their movies lately, but I
