i've depotted everything, no exceptions! even the dame edna/heatherette trios and the HK quad i got. kept the cases for those because i'm going to put a magnet in the bottom and use them as travel kits

i'm such a loser, i actually enjoy depotting make up! i'm only getting 3 depottable [did i just make up a word?] items from this collection so it's going to be a quickie

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

ooohh i could never depot quads and palettes like the heatherette ones - that would make me sad!

i like the packaging too much!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

The heatherette collection packaging actually kinda hurts my eyes a bit, but I wouldn't depot it because it looks like a challenge to do without wrecking the product, the packaging or both. I would feel embarrassed trying to back-to-mac a bunch of scraps.

I tried my hand at depotting and I guess it doesn't work. Oddly enough, the regular packaging is one of my favorites. I don't really like the disney packaging. I like attractive packaging, but not at the expense of it looking like stuff you picked up out of the Barbie Make-me-pretty aisle at Toys R Us. I only want a few of the items for the colors.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I depot every single mac e/s I have.

Doesn't matter if it's special packaging or not, they are all depotted

I totally forgot about this lipstick even exists! Hope we'll see the swatches of it soon. Out of sight (swatches this time), out of mind.

This is how my mind works with MAC.

Does anyone know which permanent lipstick may have the similar color description with Innocence, Beware - light yellow pink (Cremesheen)?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I am going to get Vile violet e/s since I just read above that there is no dupe for it and maybe Vainglorius e/s too. It is weird that I am not interested in anything else or it is just that FF is getting all my attention now ... we will see what happens when we leave it behind

it was surprisingly easy! pour some alcohol into the base part to dissolve the tape strips and the black insert popped right out

just takes some time. then it's just the same as depotting regular shadows with a flame.

i didn't B2M those because i was too embarassed haha! bringing these mangled bits of plastic back.. ehh, no.

i was going to get innocence, beware! but it sounds like 58493064 other pink cremesheens that i have, so i'll be passing on it. i'm FINALLY starting to control my lists!

Yay, spunky! I'm doing okay with all of the other collections, but not with this one. This is the collection that I am allowing myself to go crazy with.

But, I am skipping Innocence, Beware as well, and for the same reason! Though, I am finding I love cremesheens, and I, surprisingly, don't have any pink ones, so I may end up with it anyway

Yes, otherwise I can't find any eyeshadows. Plus, when I shop my stash, I like to just sit and re-organize my e/s in their palettes. Its a geeky makeup girl OCD thang I guess.

Special packaging does present a problem--for instance, as I am so wishywashy with thangs, that is my tastes go back and forth like a screen door in a tornado, I may want that special packaging when I swap it later. I just could not bring myself to depot the e/s is special packaging also because its pretty, but that sucks because when I am getting made up, I really just reach for my "most wanted" palette with my top 12 e/s in it. So depotting just makes life easier and insures I will actually use the product.
I am afraid to depot blushes--afraid I will break em. I have only chipped a few e/s surfaces in my learning phase of depotting, and they can be pressed back into shape. Still, its a tough decision with the special packaging. Even when you don't really even like it that much (like that dayglo orange from Neo SciFi)

None of the cremesheens in the permanent line has the same description as Innocence, Beware.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

On page 136 of the August Allure Magazine (Eva Mendes is on the cover) there are pictures of some of the products from the 3 female villains!

Villains and princesses must be a huge theme this season, as there is alot of talk of the two dynamics in this issue.

Thank you, GlamQueen21!

I was thinking Innocence, Beware might me close to Way To Love from Rose Romance color-wise. What do you guys think? Of course, I might be totally wrong.

Innocence, Beware! - light yellow pink (Cremesheen)
Way To Love - Creamy light yellow pink (Lustre)

I don't need any yellow-toned pinks, because I have Plink!, plus Utterly Frivolous from Fafi to fit that bill. However, I remember seeing someone here (I'm sorry, I can't remember who, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't either Erine or HerGreyness) saying that it was a colour they couldn't really describe. That makes me more interested and, as we all know, MAC's descriptions are not always on the money. I'll wait to see that one, or at least to see swatches.
