It felt so cool!

OMG your look is amazing!!! The eyeshadow colour and blending it to die for, the blush looks pretty, and Creme Cup looks way prettier on your than it does on me. Thanks for posting!

Thanks! The MUA was a total pro and spent forever on my eyes. She also used a little bit of some kind of pink tinted lip conditioner over Crepe Cup as well, which definitely improved the color.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I was wondering why it looked so pink.

If I completely screwed this up... sorry! haha Flash: Direct Sunlight:

Omg you are ROCKIN that girl!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I love the BR compact, I will love this sitting on my desk at work but

the compact. Maleficient looks like she is about to lay a pimp hand slap on someone. I really don't care about the color, I just wanted the compact, the color never was a factor for me.

Vainglorous on my skin is a darker version of Sweet Chestnut from the Spiced Choc. quad. It wears totally like a low shine frost, reminds me of a satin not a frost.

Strange Potion is totally pulling pink on me. At first swatch, I thought it would be to frosty on me, but it melted down on my lips into a wearable pink peach color, over a cream lip it should be quite fine. I like it.

Now I waiting for BOA AND DMD, tomorrow, can't wait.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

So excited for Sunday, I'm taking a trip to my Mac store to see everything in person!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I got my order in today, and I LOVE it all!
I got BOA and its WAY more gorgeous in person than in pictures. Love it!
My dark magic MES, strange potion and vainglorious. I loved it all so much I made another order at my closest mac store (2 hrs from here) and got
Her own devices BP, truth&light liquid powder, she who dares MES and bad fairy np!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I got my haul!

I'm glad I bought into all the hype surrounding BoaA because it is gorgeous! I didn't want to wash my face and erase all that goodness. Revenge is Sweet is stunning and I'm so glad I got it. The jelly like texture didn't bother me and it's super glossy so I think I'm a hot mama! Hot House is the sexiest lip gloss I own now. I don't usually do back-ups but I'm really considering it for this one.

Strange Potion is giving me problems though. When I first tried it on it looked super frosty - like I was addicted to drugs frosty. Should I try a lip liner or let it settle/warm up on my lips before I send it back? I want to like it, so any suggestions would be helpful.

Congrats to all those who hauled today!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

So I wasn't able to sneak off this morning but I did manage to get to the mall an hour after it opened and MOST OF THE STUFF I WANTED WAS ALREADY SOLD OUT!!

I'm thinking that I should've went to my normal counter but the one I went to today was closer to where I was at this morning.

I don't call to do holds but maybe I should've!

Anyhoo, I did get these beloved items:

Heartless - beautiful red lippie, my 1st red lipstick!

Violetta - another beautiful lippie
Push the Edge - been wanting this since last year when it came out but had sold out before I was able to buy it - now it's all mine!!

I also picked up the Prolong Foundation in NC45.

The other stuff that I had wanted but was sold out were: Bad Fairy (GORGEOUS!!), BOaA (PIGMENTED & BEAUTIFUL) and She Who Dares (SWEET BABY JESUS!!). So sad I missed out on those items.

All of the n/l were sold out and OSF and Truth & Light were also sold out. They still had BR and that was pretty but I decided to pass on it. TT was there and was very pretty & bright but I decided to pass. My Dark Magic was still there but I already have Young Punk and barely use it so I passed on that too. They had everything else that I didn't mention in stock still.

When I get paid I'll go back and get Dark Deed and Devilishly Stylish. I really hope MAC restocks the n/l at least. I'm not holding my breath for BOaA to be restocked but that would be nice if it was.

DO YOU HEAR ME MAC!!!!

I hope everyone enjoys their goodies!!

It's a lovely look on you.

Rushed to my local MAC store first thing this morning, and got in with enough time to secure a spot at the mirror, get some brushes and the items I wanted to swatch. Within 15 minutes you could barely move in the store. My budget got reduced, so I only tried on what I had been considering.

I started with the blushes. Bite of an Apple didn’t make me glow like Snow White, but it was nice enough to buy. It’s redder than Hipness. Darkly My Dear was nice but I passed on it. It was similar in colour to Harmony although much darker, and Harmony looks better on me. Although Darkly My Dear would make a nice contour blush. I might have to go back for it.

Next I went for the eyeshadows. I was really disappointed that Vile Violet made me look as though I had a bruised eye, and it didn’t apply very smoothly for me. Vainglorious was kind of bruisy on me too. Not exactly the look I was going for. De-Vil didn’t suit me at all. It was just too orange.

Next came the lipsticks. Heartless was lovely on me, much pinker than Lady Bug, so I got it. Dark Deeds was just too dark for me, although it was nice and shiny, and Sinister was too sheer. Toxic Tale was too neon. The MA mentioned you could play Toxic Tale down with a pencil but I thought what is the point of that. I loved Violetta though and bought it too.

MAC should have put the mirror in the Evil Queen collection. I would loved to have been able to do the whole "mirror mirror" thing.

I love new MAC collections, but they are releasing so many so frequently that my store is running out of places to display them. There is barely any room for the MAs to work.

Let it settle, it's not that frosty. You make me want Hot House , it's looks so sparkly.

Ok - I'll let it settle.

Get Hot House. I can't describe how much I love it. It's the hotness. Ha - no pun intended.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I wasn't able to pick up my goodies today

, but there is good news. My dear father (bless his heart) sent me some money for being such a great daughter SO I GET TO GET EVERYTHING FROM THIS COLLECTION I WANT NOW!!! Woo Woo! Like I can take advantage which is sweet. I'm going to add that cooling powder, Heartless and Wicked Ways back in as get a Prolongwear l/s, foundation and concealer...and I'd like to try out that 190 brush and finally get the 222.

Anyway, the point is...if I had gone to get my goodies today I wouldn't have gotten everything because even though hubby told me to get what I wanted I wasn't because we're going on vacation and I really want to have free money on vacation. I would have lost out on the items I wanted...so I was really bumbed about not being able to get there. The counter said it was OK to pick up tomorrow so the hold is still in place.

Whew! That was a close one!!!! I hope everybody is enjoying their goodies!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I was a good girl. I went to my counter, and did a CP, but I did not get anything for myself. See, I was expecting to skip this collection and so, I spent my fun money on other things. I REFUSE to dip into bill money to buy makeup, so if there is anything left at my counter on payday, I want to take another look at Innocense Beware l/s, and maybe Bite of an Apple Blush. But, I have Hipness though and hardly reach for it. I am not even going to worry about OSF right now cause I will likely pick up the holiday set that includes is. I am anxious to see some FOTDs with all of these goodies!

For me personally, I loved the soft pale baby rose blushed affect on my face. It makes a beautiful contrast but its color toned coordinated to Heartless ls. I hope you end up liking it

haha the internet is veryy

I'm glad every1 is enjoying their things. U know what imagine if mac for the this disney collection did the villians and a princess collection. So for the princess part they would have snow white, the sleeping beauty princess and the princess and the frog (before she was a frog ofcourse lol) And instead of cruella de ville they had Ursula so the little mermaid would be featured ..

That would have been such an amazing collection and every1 would have spent like $1,000 .... lol. mac should do a princess collection for us
