MAC - Venomous Villains Discussion

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Does anyone have a comparison between:

Dark Deed- Burgundy plum (Amplified)
Kittenish- deep red berry (cremesheen) from Felines

I'm NC15 and am leaning towards Kittenish because it's a little bluer and cremesheen can sometimes be a little more versatile - but the swatches are very similar.

Maybe I'll have to do something retarded like buy Kittenish but not use it until VV collection comes out so I can eyeball it....

I love the greyed-out "off" shade of it in the swatch - I'm assuming it'll be very sheer and buildable into a strong color.

Bite of an Apple is going in my bag no matter what, but Darkly My Dear is pretty different. I'm a fan!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I was not expecting the Cruella blush look that way. The description is mid tone brown plum. Does anyone know if it compares to any pink blush like Cubic or Blooming?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I don't want much, I am not really jumping up and down for this collection. I am happy I don't like the packaging so I won't be pressured to buy by how it looks.

I want the magically cool powder, bite of an apple blush, her own devices beauty powder, oh so fair beauty powder and 2 nail laquers. All cheek products lol. Briar Rose reminds me of Summer Rose. Sadly, I don't see any cool lipsticks and how dare they not put in queens sin!

Did they change the names or is "She who dares" and "My dark magic" new pigments?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

not that impressed with the colors so far. i still love the bite of an apple blush.
will definitely be ready to check everything out IRL at the launch.
i am kinda glad felines is coming out first. FF is topping VV for me.

I'm the opposite! I'm loving VV and FF is doing nothing for me! VV is filled with colors that I love...pink, red, purple!

When I look at FF all I see are shades of brown.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Mmmm... I can't wait for fall weather! These colors are making me want to buy up lots of dark lippies and dramatic cheeks. I have yet to buy a MAC Beauty Powder, but I like the look of all of them in this release!

Cruella: Her Own Devices b/p is the only thing standing out to me, and that's only if it looks OK in person.

Evil Queen: Oh So Fair b/p looks pretty. I missed out on Shell Pearl, so I may pick this up if it looks nice. Vainglorious e/s looks dupeable, but I may still walk out of the store with it anyway. Strange Potion l/g is a possibility, but I'm not sold on it just yet.

Maleficent: Not impressed, sadly. May look at Briar Rose b/p... but that's it. I wanted more from my favorite villain!

Dr. Facilier: French Quarter GPS will have to be swatched in person, but I love the GPS formula so much I'll probably get it regardless.

Packaging: ACK! The more images that come out for this collection, the more I feel turned off by it. It's soooo cheesy, exactly the opposite of the usually-classy MAC packaging. Sigh. It's not pretend-makeup for eight-year-olds!

INDEED how dare they not include Queen's Sin!?!?!?! Sadistic bastards, the lot of them.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I think that I will definitely pick up all three beauty powders. I thought that Briar Rose was more purple but in Erin's swatch it looks to be way more pink. I like. I don't think I will pick up a Bite of an Apple Blush. I don't think it will work for me. Its way to red for my liking. I definitely like the look of the other blush. I also might pick up Sinister l/s but I don't think its all that unique. I also want the mirror compact. It's a collector item...lol.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

After seeing the swatches, I think I want the magically cool powder, Oh So Fair and Briar Rose. I like the look of Heartless and Toxic Tale too.

What I want from this collection:



NOTHING!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

For me a Slick Black backup, since I gave one to a friend who is a tribal bellydancer and has ben searching for the perfect smudgy eye. Also possibly, a backup of PtE & B&B piggies but I have to see how I am doing on those. PtE presses better than Entremauve or Grape in my experience so it's sadly a staple for me.

I will have to see Briar Rose and determine if it is purpleish enough for me to be interested. There are a couple things that might be interesting, but this is one where I am going to have see stuff in person.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

After swatches, I am a little disappointed in French Quarter GPS. I hope more of the green shows up in person- I will be very disappointed if it looks like that.
