I was just thinking that!
But the thought lasted maybe 5 seconds because I go through makeup very slowly. My OSF will last me a long time. Still VERY glad that I bought it.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Last night I did the green side of SWD wet on the lids, dry and winged out in the crease, and blended into Greengrease GPS on the lower lashline, with Greengrease in upper and lower water line.
OSF lightly all over cheeks, temples, brow, chin (it looks so gorgeous all over on NC15)
Pet Me, Please l/s with Perennial High Style l/g over on the lips.
wow! that got A LOT of looks!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Okay... I've now got my black box, and I've had a chance to play with my goodies and here's what I think:
Bad Fairy:
Loved the colour, hated the texture and the formula. For me, it took 4 coats for things to look even and opaque. And if it was opaque from one angle, it was streaky and uneven at another. And even with realllllly thin coats, it still ended up taking ages to dry for me and took about an hour to properly set. I prefered this best with just one coat tbh, when you get so many different colours at different angles, it makes your nails look so weird! I do think this is going to be amazing used as a "layering" polish, as it will completely change anything that's underneath it.. my matte reds are in for a treat!
Toxic Tale:
A lot more red-coral then I expected, and this was SUPER pigmented, I actually thought it was an amplified finish, but no - a satin!? I loved this colour - while my mouth was closed. When ever my teeth came into the picture it seemed to pull any yellow tone and run away with it. Not attactive. I think I'll have to work with blotting it and layering something that takes some of the orange away from it. It also seemed to emphasize lip lines, although it didn't settle much.
Strange Potion:
A lot thicker then my other lipglasses.. I don't know why? Quite pigmented and as Kirsty said, more peachy then Temptalia's swatches.. it's also very jelly like and doesn't contain much shimmer at all. It gives me a kinda my lips but better look. Yum!
Resort Life:
Almost reminded me of an iced mocha? A lot browner then I thought it would be, but I quite liked it. And the glitter/shimmer was gorgeous! It kinda changed from white to pink at angles, which I thought was quite sweet. A lot stickier then my other lipgelees, but I found that layering another lipgelee over it got rid of that. Try Slicked Pink over it - the best combo I've tried. Looks amazing!
Brash and Bold:
Is seriously in yer face pink! Very pigmented, smooth and lovely! However, I'm not sure how similar Bold and Brash and Bright Fuchsia are though? Although Bold and Brash has a slight blue shimmer. Really lovely shade... anyone know if this is lip safe?
Push the Edge:
Is literally Violet's counterpart for a perfect purple smoky. It has the same blue shimmer, and it just looks amazing. Not awesomely good when used dry, but when used wet it just comes alive. A very sultry colour and so so smooooooooth.
Also, I got quite a few things which were maybes on my list and didn't like, so I'm going to sell on, so I've been able to really test the product but I saw the colour etc:
Oh So Fair:
Too big for my liking - I don't think I could ever get through a whole BP. Quite a muted colour, and it reminded me of a much lighter Dame? As I'm not into face products that much I couldn't justify it, although it's a pretty colour.
Bite Of An Apple:
Is a lot more muted then I expected too? It seemed to have quite a peachy brown tone to it, which disappointed me as I like the brighter type of colours!
Mean And Green:
Was gorgeous! It had quite an olive look to it, with flashes of chartreuse, which was lovely, but as I'm not interested in that type of colour normally, I thought I'd leave it alone... probably more unique then Bad Fairy imho.
She Who Dares:
Blergh. Not sparkly ENOUGH. I felt like I could just get a glitter in both those colours and I'd like it more. What can I say? I'm a sparkle whore.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I got my order this morning and can't wait to try out formidable! - it's the first new shimmery polish i've had in years.
DMD blush is so pretty, exactly the colour I hoped for. Thanks for everyone's swatches and info on here... it's been really helpful to me.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Hi ladies, loving hearing all your excitement at your packages arriving. I'm waiting on mine, but some items were sold out already, so I just wanted to check-is it definitely tomorrow (thursday 7th) that it's on counters in the UK?
My sis is going to Glasgow for me to try and get me the rest : ) Also do I need Briar Rose and Oh So Fair?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I had a VV makeover today
It was nice. The MUA didn't speak English very well (I'm in Germany), and I didn't speak German very well so there are some things that is lost in translation
... it's all in good fun though, and I love what she did.
For the eyes:
- Sweet Joy e/s as brow highlighter, inner eye, and all over base wash
- Kid e/s for the lid
- Carbon e/s for the outer crease, applied lightly with 217
- Penultimate eyeliner.
- Zoomfastblack lash
I like how it all looks except for the penultimate liner. It's shifted as soon as I'm out of the store
.
Cheek:
- Darkly My Dear Blush. It's really very pretty on. I don't know if the picture justifies it, because it looks even prettier in person! I already have Notable blush though, which looks very similar so I didn't get it. If you're in the same skintone as me and didn't have either, you MUST GET IT
The lips are not from VV, but just in case anyone is wondering: Hover l/p & Pet Me, Please l/s from the Fabulous Feline collection. There's actually some pinkness in it, I don't think the camera picks it up.
I love the combination she put on the lips, so I just 'have' to get these two
Let me know what you guys think

You look gorgeous. I love your hair back too, btw.
DMD really gives some killer cheekbones, doesn't it? And I'm closing my ears and eyes to Pet me, Please. (must mute these lemmings)
Your description reminds me of when I was in Berlin during Naked Honey, and dazzleglass collections, at the Mac counter in Ka De We.
makeup knew no language boundaries that day! lol

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
so i thought i'd ordered just the following:
my dark magic
devilishly stylish
briar rose
oh so fair
bad fairy
mean and green
strange potion
bite of an apple
and was planning on rushing to my counter tomorrow to pick up, amongst other things, innocence, beware! as by the time i decided i probably wanted it enough to order it online and take the chance, it was sold out.
so today was
and it turns out i ordered IB in my original order without realising
i'm super happy about that though, because i tried it on and LOVED it - it's the perfect nude for my skin tone, although i won't back it up because i doubt i'd get through it quickly enough to need to

oh definitely! it feels like a 'sign'
i might still go to the counter tomorrow, but i like knowing that if i wake up and i don't feel like it - no pressure, because i should be able to pick up dark deed and heartless on friday i reckon, when i'll be in town anyway. win-win situation!
did any uk spectra-ers (specktrettes? speckta-ites?
) get any back order emails? i saw on the mac_cosmetics lj community that a couple of uk people did, which surprised me because for the uk site things didn't start to sell out for about five hours, y'know?
i'm wearing strange potion now and i can't stop pouting and looking in the mirror, it's so pretty

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
I'm excited for my appointment on Sunday. Hopefully they'll listen to me when I tell them that I need a look for a theater show and might also want to use non-VV products. Although, the Doctor F. pigments might work well for the bright look I'm aiming for.
And of course, there's the whole "buying more MAC" element of the whole thing!
