I was telling her about my on line experience and that I still have not gotten my box!

people are back and school and at work. my counter was empty too. shelves with VV on them were fully stocked. they are having an event this weekend, so i'm sure the VV items will sell then. Plus Thurs is such an off day.

what a crazy coincidence! I saw those on my CCO visit today. They had almost all the GPS from art supplies. I hauled Uniformly Blue. Beautiful. I am going to pair it with the MES from this collection.

side note: there were tons of items at the CCO that were just realeased in the past 6 months. TTB, LofL (birds and berries was there, to my surprise), Art Supplies. Seems like items are hitting there faster now, than ever before. Shoot, I hauled VV something bad, but everything else after this, unless I can't "function" without it, I am getting it at the CCO when it shows up there. Odds on the selections there are getting better waiting. This does not apply to VV, although, it will be interesting to see what does show up there. Probably the pigments for sure. Maybe even Sinister. That color is getting no love

Awesome!

Yes, I did! And like I said, they had about ten left, I think. They also had Uniformly Blue, Charred Mauve, Slick Black, Dirty, and one other one. Seems like the collection didn't sell as well as I thought.

But I am SO happy I got my Greengrease

I'm gonna play with it tomorrow, and I may even get a backup if they're still there after TT.

I swatched both, and could hardly tell the difference on my NW15 skin. Way to Love and Nude Rose are much pinker than IB. Red Full Stop is the luster version of Toxic Tale. Red She Said is just a tad pinker than Heartless. I decided to wait on Oh So Fair to get it in the holiday set with Plum Foolery and Dame.

Awesome!

It looked better in the store than I thought it would. I just knew I couldn't pull it off.

But, more power to ya! I loved those Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Yay! I got Heartless and Hot House in the mail! Can't wait to try them out. I'm seriously considering getting one of the beauty powders. Somebody help me! I don't need it and I find them expensive.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Ohmygoodness.

Venemous Villains and Fabulous Felines have not been good to my "broke college student" pocketbook.

Here's what I got (all but one are lip products!):

Innocence Beware! l/s
Heartless l/s
Toxic Tale l/s
Strange Potion l/g (I accidentally bought two.

)
and
French Quarter g/s.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm so glad everyone has been getting their items!

Okay, so here's my situation: I had decided that I didn't need BOA and that it would be too stressful, but now I think I kind of want it. What have we decided is the best dupe?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I think the OPI speaks more to me than BF. BF seems too brown for me but damn if it doesnt look pretty in the bottle!

MAC has started something with the red lip...there are at least two other non-mac reds I want for the winter season. ANd I am not a red girl..except with the hair

I thought OSF was going to be unique when I saw on-line swatches, but in person, it was a little more ordinary. I still bought it, because I always buy pale pink Beauty Powders to use as blushes, but I don't think it's an absolute must-have.

Wow TT looks so pink on you!! Not at all how I remember swatched on my hand. Are you cool or warm toned?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I received a call from my MUA today telling me that the counter was a mess! The prices in the book for this collection said $15.50, but they were told online it says $15.00. So all the pre-orders had to be re-done because of that $0.50. So everyone was frantically trying to get their orders out! lol. Sounded like a mad house.


Wish me luck lovelies! I'm off to get my goods now! Eeeeeeeee! So excited! <3

pink lemonade is a lighter coral, SP swatches more as a hotter/deeper shade of coral. there's not a huge difference but it's there.

I cannot find my HL Shy Beauty, Alpha Girl, are more peach. Well Dressed is more cool pink with violet tones in comparison. Everything is either more pink or more peach. I think OSF is Unique.

I will have to wait until daylight to do my own comparisons - since I have all the pale pinks you mentioned. I bought OSF because I like pale pinks but I thought it was ordinary... did I buy something special?

Good luck! Dang, I can't believe so many counters take pre-orders. The only MAC counter in my town won't take any!
