I was looking at SP vs Jazzed the other day. The colors are pretty similar. Even though I prefer lipstick over gloss, I think SP is better. It's easier for me to work with probably because of the pearl in it. They would look awesome together probably. It's funny that TT ans SP don't go hand in hand the way Heartless and Wicked Ways do.

I can't stop staring at those swatches!

I'm conflicted.

Thank you!!!

Too bad I could not swatch them.

That's how we decide right? Maybe that's why I could not decide on Heartless today?

The nail polishes were gorgeous, too. I think they'll sell very fast.

Has anyone pre-ordered at Macy's before? They swiped my credit card and told me that I'll be charged on 30th. I told them earliest I could come back to pick up my items would be Saturday October 2nd. (I'll be out of town.) Is there any possibility that they will sell my items to someone else if I don't show up on 30th? After hearing many pre-order horror stories with Nordstrom, I feel nervous.

Dude, that's absolutely hilarious!

It's as if a ORLY secret agent seduced a MAC chemist and stole the formula for all to have!

It's the same exact thing!

Wet N Wild duping MAC!

I will only get one l/g, Revenge is Sweet! This is perfect for fall I guess while Strange Potion is more a spring l/g for me

Glad you are here!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I placed my order today on maccosmetics.com. Through the pro site though. Its weird, they must have revamped the pro site, so everything goes through the regular site. I think this is the first time they have ever released a collection this early on the pro site. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) Anyhoo, I ordered:

She who dares MES
My dark magic MES
Formidable N/l
Bad Fairy N/l
Bite of an apple
Dark Deed l/s
French quarter GPS
Cajun liquid powder
Push the edge pigment
Resort Life

I didn't get mean and green n/l, cause I had already picked up the orly dupe in space cadet.

I am so excited about this collection, I don't think I've been this excited about a collection since Style Black.

I'm actually avoiding swatching.

I know my haul will be bigger than I'd like to think about if I swatch ahead of time. Must be on the spot.

Sorry I can't help with the Macy's thing. My counter is in Dillard's.

I was going to spend 150 online just for the free shipping at macys im spending under 100 Dear MAC please work out all your kinks in the website, billing, and ordering processes not to mention have all employees treat us with kindness and be educated on their jobs.

Sorry you had so many issues trying to place your order... I know...MAC online is great because when you spend over $50.00 you get free shipping!! I am spending around $150, as soon as it is up on MAC's website...I know that the collection will sell-out, but for those of us who are aware of what is going on, I'm sure we will all get what we want. The MESs are a MUST-HAVE for me. So are the BPs, and the BoAA blush.

This is what I'm ordering this week:
Violetta l/s
Wrong Spell l/g
Toxic Tale l/s

Briar Rose
Oh So Fair
Bite of An Apple

She Who Dares and MDM MESs...

Those are my MUST-HAVEs at the moment...I'm sure I will order more later on, but I MUST have those items.

That is funny. I would love to be a fly on the wall of a Mac higher up. The rant would be highly amusing, I'm sure. These aren't just dupes. It's like the someone stole half the product and slapped another name on it.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I was VERY iffy about Dark Deed on my paleness. But you ladies have convinced me! I'm so excited for it now!

OK that last swatch of Bad Fairy changed my mind...I'm getting that instead of Revenge is Sweet

A $4 hike for lipsticks doesn't seem right! Anyways it was just a typed out page, not an official Mac document, so I'm thinking that maybe that is Canadian prices? Can anyone who has bought already confirm the prices? I see on temptalia that lipsticks are only $15.50...

The prices have gone up for the VV collection, but the prices you mentioned sound like the Canadian prices. My lipglass was $18.50.

I really think DD is a color that can work on anyone. However, what do I know. Based on what I've learned today, I look a hot mess.

Good call in choosing the polish over RIS. (I really have it in for that gloss

)

You sure make me feel certain that I should NOT have skipped Jazzed!

Oh wow these are gorgeous together! I'd lovvvvvvvvvve to see someone wearing this lip combo!

Whatta coincidence!
I used mine last night!
I barely ever use mine!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I thought the magic cooling powder wasn't doing much for me. I've worn it every time I go out b/c returning it is not an option (plus, you know I love that cooling effect). Today someone noted that I was "glowing". Coincidence? I think not.

Prolongwear foundation + this powder is perfect.

Hope this helps!

thank you, I thought so.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

It's the same color as Coral Polyp? Is the finish different or something? I'm baffled by that because I had Coral Polyp and it was tragic. Couldn't even go outside with that thing on. Just didn't work at all.
