I'd really like to keep the one with the perfect case, but if it's going to break on me in the future, then I'll have to stick with the scratched one. So what do you think? Hold onto the rattling latch one or return it at the counter? I'm so disappointed! All three beauty powders from the counter have that weird sounding latch. :

I'm pretty sure the rattling noise you hear when you move the compact is from the lip of the compact and not the latch? Because when I move my compact that's what I hear...but the noise for me is from the lip of the compact. Move the lip up & down and see if you hear the rattle, if you do then that's what it is and you should just keep it because it's fine.

Innocence,Beware! and Devilishly Stylish! I put those on and it was instant love. I can wear these with any look, any day, any where! Love love love!!! I want to squee because it is so hard to find something like this that looks gorgeous, no concealer-looks, no washing me out, not too pale, not too dark, just perfect. I also want to cry that those two perfect lippies had to be from limited edition collection, especially something like VV. It's going to be hard and expensive to find backups. I have to have atleast one backup for both. I have to!

Congratulations on finding the perfect nude.
I much prefer I,B! on me, it really works, but as a Cremesheen I left it here, they never look right on me, always uneven. Hope you find a backup.
And here's me hoping MAC brings out the same colour in another finish

Hope you find a backup so you can rest easy

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Is the Opi dupe already out? I probably missed my chance to get it if it is which kinda sucks since my plan was to skip BF and get the Opi one.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I think it's amazing how different and lovely Toxic Tale looks on different skintones. Great pics everyone! It actually seems TT looks gorgeous on any skintone.

I thought I was over this collection but all this talk about IB is making me regret I didn't even try it. I guess I've seen too many "I usually don't like nudes but love IB" comments. Let's face it, I'm scared of nudes and never really learned to wear them. I blame it on my naturally pigmented lips!

Don't know if it was already mentioned but IB was the first item to sell out in Finland!

I'm also finding myself looking at pics of SWD and sighing longingly at the green part. I'm not sure I can wait for MAC to realize people want the green part released on its own!

This look was so inspiring, thanks for sharing it!

I did a similar look yesterday with Fyrinnae's Red Panda, MAC Vainglorious and Fashion Groupie. I wore Briar Rose on my cheeks and Violetta with Fyrinnae's Visual Kei (a bright pink) lip lustre on my lips. A cashier at a grocery store told me she really liked my makeup and complained how too many people in Finland look too grey in fall. Well, not me for sure

I want to use the remaining purple (if I keep it), so I have stopped scraping for now. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../withwhite.jpg This is a side by side comparison between the funky MES and another one. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...hp/bothmes.jpg

Does this white part happens to all of the MES from this collection or just a few?? I really hope mine doesn't have that white part even tough I know now (thanks to the info here) that I can still use it wet & get color out of it, but still... it makes me sad

since I love to look at how gorgeous the color of this MES

I have 2 MDM, and I only see the white part in one of them. My 2nd one doesn't look like it has the big white sections (as you can see in my pic). That may change, however, once I start using it and scrape away the top layer.

I also have been using SWD, and so far no white has appeared. I think that it is a hit or miss whether you get a lot of white or not.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I did a look today using the BB quad from FF and the green side of the mineralize shadow in SWD. They are gorgeous together. I love SWD over French Quarter GPS it makes it pop and even more with the BB shadow in the quad because it has a green sheen! I was afraid that GPS were hard to use in the crease or outer corner, but they aren't

Just when I've decided that I need Devilishly Stylish and Wicked Ways in my life, both of them have already sold out islandwide.

When a spanking new hot lipstick comes along, you will think otherwise.

After using a lot of my Blue Flame from Style Black, I uncovered a layer with more silvery white veining, but it really doesn't impact the overall color, especially when applied wet. Lol, I was actually happy to see I was using it enough to make a dent in it hehe.

Don't worry, hon. I think we're safe to say that 2011 is going to bring more eye-searingly bright corals!!! Probably ones that are even brighter than TT, if they're for summer collections!

I don't want to enable, but I love it. And the reason I love it more is that I didn't already have something like it, I've always hoarded pink glosses so I was lacking there. It's really dear to me now.

And don't worry, I always go back for more with collections, rarely I'm done with just one haul!

Maybe I should believe it's gorgeous, everyone is saying so. I have kinda mixed feelings about it, I feel I'm odd for not totally loving it. Perhaps it's something that has to be seen on your own nails to appreciate it?

Thanks dear! For me Cremesheens are the best that Mac makes, it wouldn't be as great in another finish. That's why I feel I cannot let this baby get away, even though I'm generally not backing up anything!

It is so unique and amazing!

Red Full Stop is a Lustre version of Toxic Tale. You could hunt for it at a CCO, through "Gone But Not Forgotten" or on ebay. Revlon's Pink About It matte lipstick is supposed to be an exact dupe!
