I like that it has a more opaque finish than Hue, which has been my go-to, goes-with-everything lipstick for ages.

annnnnnd this basically just made it official... I'm getting Innocence Beware tomorrow, fo sho

Wrong Spell is nothing like Revenge Is Sweet in texture. RIS is very sheer and jelly like; Wrong Spell is a typical MAC lipglass and is fairly opaque and dark on my lips. I know the website that shall not be named described it as semi-sheer, but it doesn't look at all like that on me. (While my skintone is similar to hers, my lips are definitely more pigmented, so maybe that's the difference?)

I would not recommend WS if you're looking for something sheer like RIS.

I'm an ANTM addict too! I loved the photo shoot tonight...man it was gorgeous! Anne won best pic (again, god her photos are so stunning) and Rhianna went home.

On the VV topic: I'll be checking out DMD and Hot House tomorrow morning, and probably getting another Innocence, Beware to add to my already too huge VV haul.

GOOD LUCK to everyone hauling tomorrow!

Someone tell me I don't need French Quarter....

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I agree! Anne looks high fashion and I'm rooting for her to win.

Oh, phooey... I was kind of hoping Lexie would go. Or the girl with the really short hair whom Jay wanted to send home on the rollercoaster.

I'm so excited to get my goodies!

I really want Innocence, Beware now.

Sounds like the perfect nude lip.

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming madness.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

This collection will be launched here tomorrow! I'm going to the counter first thing in the morning.

This is going to be my last major MAC haul in a while, so I hope I will love the products that I end up buying.

On my list are:
Oh So Fair BP
De-Vil e/s
Heartless l/s
Formidable n/l
Mean & Green n/l
Bad Fairy n/l

I'm still undecided about the following items, but I will decide after swatching them:
Her Own Devices BP
Darkly My Dear blush
Innocence Beware l/s
Dark Deed l/s
Toxic Tale l/s (I'm hoping it will be less red and more orangey than Coral Polyp)

I actually really didn't like it when I tried it. The tester that I tried went on my skin really splotchy and a day later I woke up with a big pimple on one cheek where the MA applied it. I am not 100% sure it was the cooling powder but it was the only different thing I used. Plus neither of the colors looked very natural on my skin. I was really disappointed as I wanted to get one.

I called MAC today as there was no update on my order and they confirmed that everything will be delivered on Friday. Huge sigh of relief!

Can't wait to hear about everyones hauls tomorrow!

IB is a nude that is really working on me colour-wise, but the Cremesheen finish is tricky on me.
Does anyone know a good dupe for the colour? Or a trick how to apply Cremesheen lipsticks and make them look good?!

TIA.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Got mine. All I got from VV were the MES. I really wish the colours were reversed on the MES with the purple & green the main colours rather than the pink and blue.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I was planning to run to the Mac Store today and check out some of the items I did not order online but after reading about the eyeshadows in the Tartan Tale Collection and the Peacocky Collecton, I think I should just be happy with what I have. I need to start saving because I like all of them!

I usually put on a lip balm on as a part of my face prep in the morning and that seems to help with tricky finishes - - for me it is mattes and frosts.
I like to put it on before making up the rest of my face so it has time to sink into the lips. Lipstick usually glides on smooth as butter then.

Isn't the color of IB just perfect?

Also, I am another ANTM addict!
ANTM and Project Runway, the two hours of TV I *have* to watch each week!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Well, I'm awake, going to head into the shower and then put my game face on and drive an hour to go get my Maleficent goodies.

Wish me luck!

I'm no expert but I always put my Korres lip scrub on before I start my makeup and by the time I'm done with the rest of my face all of the oils of it have soaked in and I can rub off the scrubby bits. My lipstick goes on perfectly.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I wish I didn't saw those ANTM posts because I haven't still watched the latest episode.

If I,B! is pinker Creme d' Nude it's great!

I have to add a bit of pink to CDN to make it work, otherwise it's the concealer look I don't like.

Is RIS more pink or purple on lips? Is there still an obvious colour when on or is it that sheer its hard to tell?
