Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Hello my little pretties!! LOL!
I have been giddy for Venomous Villains since I first heard it was coming out! I was all up in Monday Madness, when the collection went on sale on-line. When it did not go up at 5pm my time, I kinda went about my day. Going about my day almost cost me to miss out on the thrill of ordering on-line!
I got my order in about 10 or 15 mins after it went up. Yesterday was Black Box Day and I got everything I ordered! I was too excited when UPS pulled into the parking lot! Sad thing is, after I opened the box, tried on a few things, I left and went to the counter to get more. Madness, I know.
Let me say that Darkly My Dear Blush is to die for! It may look like nothing great but when I put it on, it became a beautiful, classy color. I want to wear it forever. I don't buy blush backups but I may get a backup of this color. I can't trust MAC to include it in a future collection.
I know everyone has been talking about Dark Deed already but, I have to give my two cents. I was very excited about this color after I saw a few swatches. When I tried it on, it was just okay, at best. It runs more brown than red/purple/plum on me. But, when you put Wrong Spell Lipglass on top, pure sex!! Hot as hell and looks even better with Darkly My Dear! Matter-of-fact, I loved Darkly My Dear, Dark Deed, and Wrong Spell together so much, I'm thinking of getting all three, as a birthday gift, for my younger sister and I never buy other people makeup! She's not much into makeup but I think she would like the colors.
Bite of an Apple is pretty but, I had to really layer it it on. I wish it had moe pigmentation like some of the MAC Pro Blush shades I have.
Christine called Heartless a neutral red and she was right. It did not look like anything special on my lips but, when I added Wicked Ways Lipglass, it came alive! I won't be getting a backup of Heartless but I will be getting a backup or two, of Wicked Ways. To me, MAC does not do a good, red gloss to often. I know this one may be a little fuchsia but, it's great for waking up tired reds and as a red lip whore, it's a most have!
I loved My Dark Magic but had decided not to get it because I was trying not to spend too much on this collection. It's Fall and I always need new clothes.
I caved yesterday and got it. I'm now disappointed because the one I got has more black than fuchsia on the larger side so it does not look the way I want it to. I will have to be really careful where I put my brush when I decide to wear it.
Briar Rose is pretty. Because it's a BP and I'm a NW45, it does not give me much color but, it will be great on those days where I may do a stronger eye and want a bit of cheek color but not much. If for no other reason, I love the packaging.
I bought other items from the collection as well but, I will talk about them later. I need to finish up some work then head back to the mall and haul again!
