Toxic Tale seems pretty but Vegas Volt was horrific on my lips. I looked awful. Nothing could save that color for me. I really want to like Toxic Tale (and wanted to love Vegas Volt) but if it's close to that then NO. What do you all say? (I'm NC45)

I'm NC50 and I didn't love Vegas Volt on me. As a matter of fact, I was horrified. I can tweak it with a liner though. Rest assured TT is more wearable than Vegas Volt. They are not close.

Thanks so much! I only own one blush, so I think I'll add this to my list.

I think I've been jaded by the other corals that have worked for me. It's matte, very, very pigmented. I say if you have the cash and you really love bright coral blushes, it's a go. I was trying to save somewhere because I wanted a lot and maybe some backups and I have too many blushes already. Like I said before, Marine Life is the closest thing I have to it (I love it and own two) but if you don't like the shimmer of ML or want to do without it sometimes, get Bite of an Apple. I think that is what will persuade me to get it. |

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I actually kind of like all the excitement around getting hard to get items. It's like the thrill of the chase or something. Like when someone in my house has to a brand new video game for a birthday or Christmas and I spend time tracking it down and then going to retrieve the coveted item. I love doing that. I love makeup and it's fun for me to track it down and get it, and talk to all the people on here who share the excitement. It's like making ADR's for Disney World. It's all part of the fun I think.

Awesome review!! We're about the same coloring and you make me want Dark Deed! I was on the fence about it... I love that look but wasn't sure if I could pull it off. And so sorry it's the one thing he forgot to bag!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I updated my review and added pics of me wearing BOA blush on my blog.
Here is the review update from my blog but the pics were too big to post on here:
So I tried BOA blush on the cheeks and the color was more red and deeper than Joyous and actually reminded me of an apple, not the red-red gladiator apples but the apples which are half rosy and half yellow like the gala apples. Swatches on my fingertips side by side also confrmed it is considerably different. Verdict is it DOES looks different than Hipness and Joyous on the cheeks and it IS unique to my large blush collection and I like it so much that I am adding it to the Must-have list.
Also, Summer Rose is different than Briar Rose. Briar Rose is more hot pinkish and Summer Rose is a much more softer pink-violet color. I find Summer Rose to be more unique in color.
I am now a BOA convert and I also now want Briar Rose even though I know I don't friggin need it. Will the madness ever end?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Thanks for the review, katred!!!
SO sorry he forgot to put Dark Deed in your bag, but your review makes me more excited to get it!!!
I'll be calling to reserve Dark Deed and Bite of an Apple on Mon/Tues. I know Dark Deed won't already be spoken for and if all of the Bite of an Apples are reserved, it isn't meant to be. I'm not gonna go crazy for it.
So, Looks like my haul is growing more and more by the day. It really does have to stop now though. I'm already adding Dark Deed and still getting Violetta, so I'm at 15 items again.
Damn. I'm just glad I decided against the nail lacquers b/c those seem to be going quick, and it is way too stressful.
kiss: I want to see this post-feeding vampire lips! That's what first convinced me to think about Dark Deed again. When you feel better, please post!!! I'm dying to see it!

I can't even think about backups.
With this one, I'd rather get more items and use them sparingly. I don't think any of this will be stuff I use everyday. I could see falling in love with MCLP, but since there are rumors it will be perm, I won't stress.
But, by all means, b/u the nail lacquers! They do look gorgeous if you can't get the dupes.

Ha I agree... But I'm on the fence about backing up Strange Potion (which would be the only thing if I do back something up) It's the first gloss ever that I think is gorgeous on!

I am having to fight adding things, especially Dark Deed & I DO NOT need BR, I have so much AB. I just wish they had a translucent or cooler toned cooling powder, telling myself till they have one I don't need it.
