Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
Ladies- if you have Toxic Tale, then you need to do whatever it takes to get your hands on Bubbles. The combo is genius!!!!
I found a bubbles at my CCO & I liked TT by itself but i LOVE it with a layer of bubbles on top.
Here's another tip for TT on fair/light skin tones.... If it's not looking quite right, try amping up your blush. I know it seems counter-intuitive to wear bright cheeks & bright lips, but I think it provides a little balance to the face. A healthy sweep of BOA is perfect! (just keep the eyes soft!)

Yes it is very odd. I looked at it and said WTH? I am debating whether to return it or not. I do have another one that looks pretty much like the pic on the mac website and posts here.
I will try to take pics of them both and post here for comparison. It may take me a bit of time to figure out how to do it, but I will try.
Off to take some pics!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
i just came back from a manicure with Mean & Green
This mofo is SICK!
I had them shaped in a pointed almond shape, med. long (pretty much the shape in the nail forecast promo pic).
I think I am in love!
Gonna go out tonight with a 'lil SWD and MDM, with some Greengrease GPS and Designer Purple pearlglide, BR and Funtabulous on the lips to soften things up a little! Whee - off I go feeling glamorous!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion
OK I will see if this works...
This is the MES that I scraped a little with my brush. You can see the white that has been uncovered. It may be hard to clearly see in the pic, but I can tell that once I scrape off the "purple overspray" that there will be mainly white underneath. I want to use the remaining purple (if I keep it), so I have stopped scraping for now.

This is a side by side comparison between the funky MES and another one.

^ Bleh, that kinda sucks
What does that white stuff swatch like?
(I love looking at these MES though. I didn't buy either one but they LOOK really pretty to me.)

I haven't tried swatching/using it yet. Maybe I should play around with it and then post pics here. After I feed my kids dinner though. They are starting to wrestle with each other.

Ordered HAI even though I told myself that I was going to skip it. Veluxe Pearls, especially purples, get to me very quickly lol

the majority of the shadesticks from every collection have smelled like crayons. its just the formula. they're perfectly safe to use.
as for the expiration date, they don't have one. the only thing you have to worry about is them drying out if the lid isn't closed all the way all the time.
with the MES (and every mineralize product), every single one is gonna be different. since these are swirled with different colours, each batch is gonna contain more/less of a certain colour than other batches. that's why everytime a new mineralize product comes out, people are asking their artist to dig thru them all to find one with more of __ colour and less of __ colour. they aren't bad batches. they're just amounts of certain colours.

I have SWD and MDM eyeshadows and I use them wet. Both of mine have "white" sections, but when I use my wet brush and put them on them "white" is actually iridescent purple, pink, green or blue, depending on what section of which mes they are in. Try swatching them with a wet brush I'll bet yours are the same way. I hope they are.

It didn't look bad when I saw it in the Pro store. I probably would have bought it if it had a better picture of Dr. Facilier on it. I think it was the most inexpensive item in VV.

Thank you for the info! I tried swatching the "white" section and ended up with an iridescent purple! I tried to take pics, but b/c it is night here they didn't turn out well. I may try again tomorrow in direct sunlight. The light purple is actually really pretty! Crisis averted...

I was considering the mirror - actually I still am. I haven't felt the same urgency to get it, however, as the makeup products.
Plus DH said that the pic looked like Dennis Rodman, which sort of killed it for me.

He does sort of look like Rodman. Or some other borderline lunatic; that's what stopped me from buying. It would have been mine, otherwise: the pic looked more demented than villainous or evil
PSA: the Clarisonic Plus is today's special value on QVC. 3 face brushes plus the body brush. Free shipping. Four flex pays. It comes with Philosophy products: Purity and something else. $189: I've never seen it at this low of a price anywhere, and never with Philosophy. This price would even beat F&F at Sephora. Needless to say, I finally caved and bought it
