It is lovely & perfect for both. I really like it both ways. I did use it to sculpt, then used OSF on the apples of my cheeks & it was very natural & pretty. I can see myself using this as an everyday throw on blush. Even as a blush, it still has this beautiful sculpted face appearance. In that video that was just posted, you can see the difference in her face after she applies it. Easy pretty sculpting I think.

I picked up my little black box today and am so happy with the nail polishes and the mineralize eye shadows. The green in She Who Dares MES is stunning when wet.

I really regret not getting Innocence Beware lipstick. I am hoping that a local counter still has one in stock. It sounds like a lipstick that I would love. Not sure why I passed over it when I was at the PRO store in Vegas.

You girls are trouble for me! Now I want the Clarisonic and the Darkly My Dear blush. WAH! That's the sound of my wallet crying.

For some reason, it just doesn't apply too well on my lips alone. Yesterday I put it over Maybelline's Color Sensational lipstick in Totally Toffee and it looked soooo good. It made my lips look very juicy and plump. I'm so in love with French Quarter and Vainglorious, those two are definitely my favorites. As for Wicked Ways and Heartless? I love them! Not to mention it makes my lips look like the smex. Yesterday I applied Revenge is Sweet on my lips after eating (some yummy shrimp tempura and soba ) and I told my best friend how the lipgloss kind of made it seem like I had been sucking on a greasy steak. But it was a very pretty color, so I'm happy I bought it... and will be even happier when I pair it with Violetta! I didn't get a chance to put on Hot House alone on my lips but I did slap it over Lousiana from NYX and it looks hot. Toxic Tale! I almost backed out of purchasing this, but thank goodness I didn't! It's soooo pretty and it's just right color for me, a hot coral-y pink I paired it with Strange Potion and I really liked how it looked. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchases.

hoshiakari_, you are gorgeous!

So glad you like everything you got!

PS: Stop making me want the Clarisonic! I'm a college student.

I think that Dark Deed is a duplicate for Faultlessly F/W, which was in last year's Fall Trend Collection.

If I have one complaint about this collection, it's that almost everything is similar/identical to something else that MAC released previously. The most unique thing is the Disney packaging. That's why it was so easy for me to pass: the only things that I bought for myself were Heartless and Wrong Spell.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Does anyone know how Darkly My Dear compares to Fab blush from the Barbie collection? I have and love Fab but if they're really similar then I won't bother to get DMD..

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

^^^I had Fab; I think it was darker than DMD. DMD definitely had a better texture than Fab when I swatched it at the store.

yep, I agree

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

DMD is a sleeper killer hit. To me if you put DMD next to VG5 l/s and VG5 l/g, it's like they made a powder form of it. I wore a smokey green eye today with DMD and after I saw it on my skin, I was like this looks like I have something like this in lipstick form, ran to the case, found it, loved it. I put DMD over a bronzer so it made it shimmer and dance on my skin.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Well I must say that I am extremely happy that I bought T & L powder. I was really on the fence about getting it b/c when I swatched it on my hand it was rather MEH. But today I tried BOA blush with T & L on top. Wow that powder just added a needed oomph to my look. That little something. I think that I will also get cajun b/c MUA recommended it as a bronzer - even with my NC 15 skin.

That sounds gorgeous! Didn't think of using it over a bronzer.

I am just

at the whole shontay & pic in your siggy line

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

The cooling powder really is something you need to apply to the face to appreciate it. A hand swatch just won't do. It's especially gorgeous when you wear it with a blush and not just on it's own.

I'll say again that on paper, this collection didn't wow me, but in person it's a hit, IMO. It makes deciding what make up to wear harder because everything is so lovely, yet you want to make sure nothing clashes.

I use the sensitive brush on mine ( the softest one is the gentle) with the lowest speed for 1 minute. No problems whatsoever. Honestly, I think you will love it. I use it with my Shiseido cleanser (although you can use any cleanser) followed by my Chanel s/s and moisturizer. Heaven! Back on topic: I love everything I bought and am fighting the urge to pick up more. I was going to try and find OSF but think I will wait for the holiday collection instead. One of the face kits has that and Dame blush in it (another item on my wish list). After seeing the info on TT and Chanel and Nars holiday I need to go on a no buy and seriously budget. My daughter Victoria is 20 and a MAC addict. She has never worn anything else. She is NW15 with blonde hair and blue eyes. She resembles a walking, talking Barbie doll. She did a look last night that was amazing. Smokey eye with SWD and Feline and nude lips with IB and Resort Life. I will see if she will let me post a pic.

Yes I keep telling myself that I don't need two b/u's of everything. That MAC hoarding urge is kicking in.... I need to stay strong... LOL

Has anyone compared Innocence, Beware to Jazzed? How different are they?

I loved your review about clarisonic. I hope it works miracle on my skin regimen. When you mentioned Nars Holiday, I googled, I saw, I

apparently I am late and didn't see all the info that leaked.

It never ends this love of all things beauty.

Totally different, IMO. Jazzed is a peachy coral, and Innocence Beware is a light pink nude with no coral. I think IB is more like Hue, but the finishes are different.

You ordered a back-up so try it with everything. It's matte so loading it over a MSF, Sheertone shimmer will all work.

Siggy line
