Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
i went to see this collection today and end up with nothing. money saved though
heres my thoughts on the collection in general:
innocence, beware - this is a really pretty pinkish nude. it has a tinge of freshness to it (if you get what i mean), not dead looking at all. there is less pink in this as compared to nude rose and way to love, but more of creme de nude. sorry for the weird explanation but that what i thought when i swatched it. too bad it's cremesheen, otherwise it will be coming home with me.
devilishly stylish - again didn't expect this lipgloss to be such a pretty nude gloss! it reminds me of soft wave, which i already have.
wicked ways - beautiful red fuschia gloss!
bite of an apple - intense on the pan, but sheered out it will look gorgeous on any skintone. in fact i thought it will look super fab on fair/ light skins. it is one of those blushes that makes you look awake and fresh. very pretty! i really recommend those who don't have instant chic/ hipness to get this. you won't be disappointed!
oh so fair - as everyone else has said, this gives a nice glow for light skinned people and i agree. i had it swatched on my underarm and didn't rub it off. while waiting for the tram home i looked at it and.... ooOOOhhhh!
briar rose - this was on my list. but since it is violet pink, it won't look good on me. i really like the packaging for this though. anyone selling the empty compact? HEHE
cooling powder - interesting product. i like that one second cooling feeling when the powder touch the skin hehe.
de-vil - rusty copper. i expected stronger copper tones but it isn't.
vainglorious - smoked brown burgundy. i love the colour description but when i swatched it just now, it was chalky and hard. which is weird given that the frost finish. maybe it was tester. but again it wasn't what i expected. i prefer star violet to this.
she who dares - the green side is sooooo
sparkling pretty! and i don't wear greens. it reminds me of the mes form of 6th sin cream shadow!
my dark magic - it swatched mostly sooty black on me
nail polish - i thought
mean and green is really pretty! the duochrome on this can be seen easily.
formidable is interesting when looked closely, but mostly black from afar.
bad fairy looks so much better in the swatches i have seen online than in real life. somehow the duochrome is not as easily seen as mean and green? anyone of the same sentiment about this? i would wear this on the toes.
i'm thinking about mean&green and bad fairy. i should go back and play with these colours again, i think.
the only thing sold out from the store i frequent (myer bourke) is bad fairy. the counter next door at dj still has it though.
thanks for reading! ^.^
