I agree about Oh So Fair! My MA used it on me and I loveddddd it.

I couldn't buy it this time around, but for sure I'll get it with TT blush set.

My thoughts excatly! I didn't even really looked at other stuff than Maleficent because I didn't like the packaking that much

Though I don't really have dupes for all, but I don't wear purples and cranberries that much..

I always loved your looks and was just thinking the other day I hadn't seen you post lately. It looks lovely what you did

.

On another note I have always wanted to try a red lipstick but didnt and still dont think I could pull it off. So today when I get my makeup done I'm going to have the ma try Heartless on me and if that doesnt work see if any will. I may try one of the darker l/s....I guess Dark Deed? She'd done a look with one with FF that looked nice but I didnt get it at the time.

Oh another thing....I contacted Fyrinnae to see if they had a green that was similar to the one in SWD and they told me Boytoy. However upon looking at swatches through google I think Boytoy is a more muted green. IF anyone has that please let me know what you think

there are dark deed, violetta, heartless, and toxic tale fan among the brown girls. from what i have seen online and IRL, they are all great colors on brown skin.

Dark Deed is beautiful. I passed because I always haul these type of colors. Might as well haul this one too. MUFE #48 is a sister to this one. if you don't get to haul it. A sister, not a twin.

a brush a month is a good way to add those eye brushes to the mix. try the 217 for your next one

I guess it depends on your blush application style/undertones in your skin. I have to build it, but the results are fab. other MAC blushes like Burnt Pepper, Full Fuchsia, Rhubard, I just need a quick tap. This one, I can turn up or turn down as necessary. For fall, its turned up!

Yea I saw you posting and I'm like WTF is Shontay in a new time zone? It's 3 AM!!! The last time I was on Specktra that late, I came back home from a night of drinking Long Island ice teas and couldn't fall asleep.

LMAO I feel like a bad child who just got caught being naughty. As soon as you wrote that, I went on ONTD, then came to Specktra, then finally went to sleep. I just woke up an hour ago, and I'm back on Specktra like I never left LOL.

Well the last time I check with them (this has been a while since though, but this year still) at least at my counter they said you can get an LE item as B2M. Though there has been a lot of confusion with that so I might have gotten the wrong info

looks like a deep dark purple. Blue purple. no brown, no red. Try Cyber, MUFE #49. Maybe MACpro Smoked purple, which is on the regular site right now. That one may be the lighter of the other two, but its a matte, so long wearing.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I miss when pro card holders were able to get collections a week before department store release. I - very politely, mind you - asked if I could buy, or at least put aside, some items before the Monday release and the girl acted like I asked to kick her dog.

W/E!

ahhh brilliant, thank you, i was wondering what time uk online launches were! i shall continue to stalk the website and hope for the best xD i nearly asked for monday/tuesday off work just in case, but i need the money for hauling!

i quite want to go along thursday morning anyway i think, even if i manage to get everything online, just to see the displays and see everything in person and swatch anything i'm not sure about. *excited*

I've been into MAC for a long time and I have seen alot of hyped collections but I have never experienced anything like this. At a couple of local Nordies: I saw people buying 5-9 of each item. I saw employees of other lines try to take items as MAC employees were trying to bag pre-orders for regular customers. I heard that one customer purchased the entire stock of one counter. I would guess that you would be hard pressed to find any of this still in stock in my area. I felt embarrassed that I spent so much $$ on my daughter and myself. Combined our total was $229. There were people there spending $3K-$4K. The multiple sales I witnessed were mostly to older men. Guess we'll see it on Ebay soon. Now that I have vented the bad let me tell you something good. The MAC employees that I know (and some whom I am lucky enough to call friends) were amazing. You know that old saying "grace under pressure"? This definitely applies. Especially at my favorite Nordies counter. My friend who manages the counter and her crew were working on getting all preorders complete even if they had to hide things from other counters. They had a smile on their faces and were gracious to each and every customer even when they were 20 deep at the counter (which was early on). Our preorder was completed without a hitch and we got everything we wanted. I just love and appreciate the ladies at this counter so much I took them candy to help the day seem a little sweeter. For the record, my guess would be that most everything was sold out in my area within a couple of hours. I would be interested to hear Katie's opinion since we live so close to each other.

I can't believe somebody was even allowed to buy the whole stock of a counter - that is obscene!!! Terrible.

We can B2M here any limited edition lipsticks, any special packaging (no Viva Glam of course but everything else). I just B2M Innocence, Beware! and Toxic Tale.

But as far as I know, in US this collection lipsticks cannot be selected as B2M gifts?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I'm going crazy waiting for this to launch in the UK! I'm pondering asking for an afternoon shift at work on Tuesday in the hope that it's online that morning

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

After posting my blush swatches (including BOA) I think I have to stop buying colours that are so similar. I actually have a "corally-pink" palette that is full now. I mean, common! How much different does it look on the cheeks?! lmao

Sometimes I think I need a good smack across the face when it comes to hauling. I always buy within my "colour" comfort zone - so I end up with several items from different brands that are so similar.

I'm squirming in my seat reading all the reviews because I'm re-thinking going back and buying stuff. Not allowed!
