Has anyone tried RIS with lighter purple-pink l/s like Snob VG Gaga or similar?

I don't have my goodies yet to say if it will look good or not, but this is the kinds of pairings I'm thinking of. RIS with Gaga and Lazy Day, and also with berry colors too.

Yey, in less than a week i shall have my VV goodies

. I think I might end up skipping the cooling powder for now since it's becoming perm and get BOA, Briar Rose bp, Violetta l/s and now added Dark Deed l/s. I have a tone of vampy shades in my stash and wear them often but one more wouldn't hurt.

It's the same exact thing!

ORLY duping MAC!

I wouldn't be so sure u guys. I've been using Orly for a long time and they're known for their innovative technology when it comes to n/p finish. I actually bet when it comes to the nail polishes, MAC was the one who copied Orly's shades.

MAC is great when it comes to trendy makeup, but I never thought that they were the originals in every trend, they're simply good at spotting them and then in a timely manner adding them to their LE lines.

Actually, I have to say that this has opened my eyes up about MAC a bit. This is the second launch in a month to have the exact same products are new products from another brand (the Superslick Liquid eyeliners would be the other). While I'm fairly sure MAC develops its own product, it seems it doesn't develop all of its products in-house. The timing is just too coincidental -- these are all launching within weeks of each other, so it's definitely not a case of "copying." I think they're just the same products.

My mom wanted Bad Fairy, so I bought that for her. But I admit that I bought the ORLY versions of the other two polishes -- $3 less for more product? Heck, yeah.


WORD!

*cries pitifully* Ladies, I can't decide which beauty powder to get: Briar Rose or Oh So Fair. Please help me choose! I want to use as a blush. Ahh I can't choose!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Now I am stressing out a little bit. I called Nordstroms to add FQ to my preorder and asked the MUA to leave a message on my cell phone - just checking to make sure that my preorder is still "a go." That was yesterday, and she still hasn't called back. Should I stress or is this just crappy customer service? Should I call again and risk being revealed as a crazed MAC addict?

Just thinking about it give me the chills! I hate the fact that women don't wash their hands after using the restroom and then go swatch some products on their hands with no shame.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I have become addicted to this thread.

My list was done. Was. It is ever growing! Now I feel I have to add Dark Deed and a greasepaint stick onto it...! I have to totally ignore the nail polishes, as it is. I love polishes so!

I'm so torn. I want so many things in this collection, but I am up to so much money it's ridiculous. I keep thinking of all the things I could buy with this amount of money, but when I look at the collection I just cannot cut it down!

I think I would stop thinking about it so much if I was able to pre-order. I'm so preoccupied with it now.

it's not coincidental, it was planned, don't know who thought of it first because it could take MAC a lot more time to develop the actual products while Orly simply put it out first, we'll never know. It's pure competition. MAC nailpolishes will always sell because of the LE Collection status. Orly will sell too, but more towards the nailpolish fanatics. It's up to you to choose which one you want to buy from. I'd personally go with the cheaper version b/c well it's nailpolish and it's pretty toxic lol.

Ladies I am thing about My Dark Magic with this collection. I have the Family Silver (my only mineralize eyeshadow) and I hate it. It's a super mess even when I use it wet.There's no color payoff and the get everywhere. These looks so pretty though. They look so much more pigmented then the one I have. Are they still a mess as the day goes on? Do those who have them love them? TIA

She did say that if I'm not able to make it, someone else could pick it up for me. I'm going to assume that it varies from counter to counter, so you might want to double check with yours, especially since they swiped your card. I hope it works out and you get what you want!

On a sidenote: kudos to the lovely MA Helen for having my picks wrapped up all nice and pretty...and super-stapling the bag shut! I went by the counter to double check on my preorder and am crazy excited now that it's all set. Helen offered me a little peek at the packaging since the testers I previously saw didn't have theirs. I've got to say, I almost don't want to remove anything from its packaging! The sketches are absoultely amazing! I'm already picturing myself getting to work right after I pick it up. I'm just going to be sitting there, staring at everything and sighing, ahhh it's all mine!

Let's hope we won't have any problem picking up our stuff. I saw my dear MA Angel put my stuff into a bag with a receipt. I told her the earliest I can pick up my stuff is Oct 2nd. And she said nobody will take my stuff. Wish me luck!

Yes, I agree on the packaging with the sketches! They're gorgeous!

DID ANYONE READ THE BOTTOM!? IT'S AVAILABLE ON THE MACPRO WEBSITE ALREADY!

MACPRO CHANGED UP THEIR WEBSITE SO YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!
HAS ANYONE CALLED THEIR ORDER IN YET!?!?

Please don't write your posts in capital letters - this means you scream figuratively.

Whoever said Bite of an Apple is like Snow White cheeks:

I was hoping to cut that off my list so I could snag a few polishes, but I can't stop thinking about it! Grr.

Sweet! That's awesome of your MA to keep an eye on your stuff like that. Since you mentioned a receipt, you were actually charged then, right? That's great, coz at least you know it's all paid for and taken care of. I'd pick it up for you and keep it safe and sound if I could!

Goodluck! Oh, and have a good time wherever you're going...where are you going anyway?

Aha! I'll be cutting the MCLP. I don't know if I'll use it (I'm sort of opposed to shimmer) and since they may be made permanent anyway, might as well ditch it for the nail lacquers.

If I can only get two, which two should I get? Bad Fairy is coming home with me (I had a dream about it last night
blush-anim-cl.gif

), so that leaves Mean & Green and Formidable. I'm more drawn to Formidable, but I feel like Mean & Green is more unique? I don't know.... I need opinions!!!
