MAC - Venomous Villains Discussion

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I need advice about the Darkly My Dear blush, I'm a very cool toned NW20 - do you think it would look good on me as a blush and/or as contouring?
And would Oh so fair be good as a setting powder?
Are there good dupes in the permanent line for them?

Yes, I think DMD would def. work on you. Of course its a personal choice.

No, I don't think OSF is a good setting powder

I personally don't think there are good dupes in the perm line, but everyones skin tone may change that.

To stay on topic, I wore Heartless today. Just dabbed it on enough to get that lovely stain. Didn't dry out my lips at all which was amazing. Love Heartless <3

Besides all the great choices erine listed, maybe give Velvet Teddy a try.

Flaminbird, you look GORGEOUS!

Oh I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem since this collection doesn't even have a due date in my country it will probably be here in mid November at the earliest, fabulous felines only comes out this Wednesday here ( fortunately I got my haul during my trip to austria

)

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I went to two counters today hunting for Innocence Beware and I can't find it. Why didn't I get this last week!?!

I think I might have to just get it on Nordstrom.com and pay the shipping.

Maybe a few more things will have to jump in my online shopping bag so I can get the $5 shipping.

Oh yeah she also used a gold highlight on the top of my cheeks and I didnt really like that as it brought out my pores mtrimier thanks for the info. So it was the strobe cream afterall most likely. I couldnt believe how much it just "sat" on my skin afterwards! I almost bought it at the CCO but thought I'd wait to see if it would be greasy. Maybe it was both though....

you look beautiful hun! red suits you

i tried it in store and it was pretty pigmented on me, i am nc40 in studio fix.
however, i found it a tad bit chalky! maybe its just me.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Ok. Finally able to jot/type down my items and review/give some bg info over a two day period.

Day One

• IB l/s- This is only my second MAC l/s, (my other is Thrills) and I have worn it for the past two days... and meh. I do like the color on me, I just don't care for that dry feeling. I only had a few MAC items prior to these purchases, so I need to educate myself on the finishes of some items.
• DMD Blush- I was hesitant with this purchase. I literally stood around staring at it for five minutes
  
  before asking for help. The lady applied the blush for me, and I absolutely loved it. I was worried that it wouldnt show up on my medium skin tone that is contoured. I'm definitely using this blush when wearing dark eye colors.
• Push the Edge Pigment- I didn't pick this up when it first came out, but I saw a tutorial using this as the all over color along with MDM MES and I was sold. This is also my first pigment, so I think the obsession will start setting in very soon. I only swatched it in the store, and have not been able to play with it.
• Darkly My Dear & She Who Dares MES- Again, these are both firsts (MES) for me. When I became interested in MAC last fall, I just missed out on the style black collection. I also became obsessed with youtube tutorials/hauls around this time, and when I saw Young Punk and Blue Flame..
  
  !! Then I was sad to see everyone was out of stock and blah blah blah. So when I saw that these two little vixens resembled the two that got away... I literally almost
  
  . I used SWD yesterday... and well, lets just say that I need some practice. I picked up some fix+ yesterday to help me with the process.
• French Quarter GPS- Bought to use under both MES and pigment. I used over a primer, and I thought it was still a but difficult to work with. Maybe Im either taking too much time as I'm applying... or I just don't know what I'm doing. lol.
• Resort Life Lip Gelee- I know that a lot of people think this is too disco ball or too frosty, but I am enjoying this lip product. I a little of this on the center of IB, and felt that it was better suited than Strange Potion l/g. I guess another advantadge is that it's not sticky as the l/g.
• Bad Fairy N/L- I only bought this because of the hype, and while it does look beautiful in the bottle... I know that I will only wear it one time, become lazy, and open it up 2-3 months later. I decided to trade it for Hot House l/g.

Day Two

• Sinister l/s- So, it was between this and dark deed. I felt that Sinister was a bit more wearable, and I really wanted a plummy l/s. I also thought this looked similar to funbathing from the To the Beach collection. I wore it last night, and I am happy with this l/s too. I put RL on top, and I like this combo better than the IB combo. I think this is bc there are fuschia and pink flecks in the RL which kind of brings out the color in sinister. Can't wait for my Hot House l/g to come so I can see how it will look with sinister.
• Magically Cool Liquid Powder "Truth and Light"- My list initally had this powder in Cajun, but when I swatched Cajun, it was too orange on me. I know a lot of people mentioned that T&L was a great highlighter, so I decided to swatch it.
  
  . The iridescence that gleamed on my arm was just pure
  
  . I have not used this yet, but I hardly think I will be disappointed with this item.

Sorry if this was wayyyy toooo long, but I enjoy reading somewhat of a detailed description of reviews. Thanks for reading!!!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Pigmented sounds good! Not sure about chalky though =/ I'm not sure if mac restocks sold out items

I didn't think they did, but perhaps check other stores that sell mac - someone mentioned nordstrom?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

To those who mentioned Sephora's sale coming up, will the BOS 3 be included at discount? Its not at Ulta (via Instyle coupons)
