MAC - Venomous Villains Discussion

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Having seen the swatches, my wishlist has been revised with commentary: A lot of these shades seem dupable and predictable. A couple of Maleficent's shades are still pretty interesting...though I will still have to see/swatch them in person.

Dark Deed l/s--can't think of a dupe in my stash; love the colour description.
Wrong Spell l/g--Dark! Intense! I like it.

Revenge is Sweet l/g--too pale a lavender to work on me; but an interesting shade nonetheless. I'll probably pass on it.

For the shades that have dupes/similar versions elsewhere...
(NOTE: Not official dupes, but at least to keep me from buying)
Devilishly Stylish l/g--a lighter version of Purple Rage
Hothouse l/g--Magnetique/Electric Fuchsia hybrid
Heartless l/s--any blue red, really
Toxic Tale l/s--Lady Danger

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I found this on pursebuzz.com...

I don't know about everyone else, but I am slightly disappointed by this packaging. The way that the characters were represented in the teaser trailer looked really cool, and mature. This just looks cheap, the eyeshadows especially. It looks like a sticker was just stuck on it. The lipgloss, and compacts look okay. I'm still probably going to buy everything, but I just wish they would have put more thought into the packaging.

I think the packaging is ok.. check the picture I posted.

i'm kind of "iffy" on the packaging. it's not HORRIBLE but it could've been a lot better.

I thought Hothouse was a repromote. But it doesn't have the repromote star next to it in Erins update book.

These darker lip colors make *sort of* long for fall too.

My list for now:

Cruella
Lipstick: Heartless- Cherry Red (Amplified)
Lipglass: Devilishly Stylish- Deep fuchsia with pink pearl
Eyeshadow: De-vil- rich copper (VP)

Evil Queen
Lipstick: Toxic Tale- Bright coral (Satin)
Powder Blush: Bite of an apple- soft coral pink (Matte)

Maleficent
Lipstick: Dark Deed- Burgundy plum (Amplified)
Lipglass: Wrong spell- Deep plum with pink purple

(plus the picture of Cruella on the lid is so ridiculously campy. it'll be hilarious to pull it out of my purse in public.)

I think i like this one more than Bite of an Apple

The picture looks prettier than the one of the evil queen.

The description makes it sound like it would be too dark, but the picture makes it look quite nice. Well see as other pictures appear I suppose.

I don't think there's much I want from this collection.. Which is good because I keep hating the packaging more and more.

Right now, Hothouse & Bite of an Apple are the only things on my list.

Oh So Fair looks like Shell Pearl so maybe I won't need that one.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Alright... i dont really know what to think.
I love waiting for erin to go to update so we can all get more info on the products, but at the same time these swatches on paper confuse the hell out of me.

Here is an updates wish/maybe list!

Cruella

Dev-il es (VP) MAYBE. I love coppers of any nature, and this looks like it might be closer to the colour of a bright shiny new penny than coppering (which is more red than orange imo) and its VP. Need to see in person
Sweet Joy es (Frost) Probably. I love a good frosty highlight. plus im out of nylon

Evil Queen

Strange Potion lg Maybe Another i need to see in person.
Vainglorious es (frost) I love me some red browns... but i feel like this could be dupeable. big old maybe.
Oh so Fair BP- Probably. i love me some pink BPs
Bite of an Apple- Whle this looks devine! I have to try it on first. Im hella pale, and i could easily look like a sad old clown in this

Maleficint

Dark Deed ls- I love burgundy... so Probably
My Dark MAgic mes- Most absolutely.
She who dares mes- You know damn right These two mes remind metoo much style bl;ack to pass up
Briar Rose BP- YES AND YES


Malefacint's collection still comes out on top for me. I'm kind of wondering why they even made a collection for the Dr.
After seeing all these, i feel a bit let down. I would have rerlally liked it if they had gone heavy on the duochromes. Purple with limes, Blue with yellows.... that kind of thing. This is just a lot of purple. I mean, i love purple.... but so far, it doesnt look like very impressive purple. A lot of them look kinda muddy....

hmmm... i duno, maybe when i see some swatches on skin i'll change my mind.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

i wonder if the mineral eyeshadows are nice glittery (like the style black ones) or annoying glittery (like the flashtronic ones)

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I like the Cruella blush -- it is sweet.. but I have a lot of sweet looking blushes in my stash.. I do prefer a bit of punch
