WOC: Venomous Villains

[HeavenLeiBlu]

After finally playing with everything in person, i have to say that Maleficent is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad b***h, because with the exception of Briar Rose, her entire collection is FIYAH!

I practiced restraint and stuck to my pre-game list and only left with Violetta, Bite Of an Apple, and Vainglorious. However, this weekend I hope to snap up She Who Dares (the green portion got me) and Revenge is Sweet.


If you can get a hold of BOA, please do... it measures up to the hype and far surpasses Marine Life... for the life of me I didn't get the appeal of that item.

*edit* I'm supposed to be on a lippie no-buy! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

My goodies! My goodies! My goodies, not my goodies!

Sorry, had to go there. I guess the quick sell out of the items on the website, paired with the Marine Life horror stories sent me into a near panic, because I was at the mall at 10:05, and had called twice before then, and was told by the automated message that Bloomingdales was not yet open.

I ended up with Briar Rose, BoA (of course), both MES, and the Magic Cooling Powder in Cajun. Hooray!

You know what though, back when all we had was prelim. info about this collection, members in the main VV thread were saying how Snow White was their fav. Disney princess and how they always thought she was pretty. I was like

- Are we looking at the same film? The excuse some sited was that it was an old film, so what could we really expect. But lets be honest, the Evil Queen is a hell of a lot "fairer" than Snow White.

Me neither but I got BOA, so yeah, no shimmer just coral matte loveliness.

I haven't used my Cajun MCP yet, but I swatched it and I have the Stila Ilumminating Powder in Bronze. I would say that the Cajun is not as shimmery the Stila powder and the shimmer is more refined. I've only used the SIP all over my face a couple of times, and even then it was with a very light hand and over powder foundation to give it some life. You could wear the Cajun powder all over your face (personally I wouldn't) without it being too OTT.

The MA tried Cajun all over my face (NC50'ish). It didn't look like much of anything. I did notice fine silver particles which I did not love. I ended up taking it off so didn't really get to see it in natural light.

I did get BOA, Briar Rose, Revenge is Sweet ligplass, and Bad Fairy nailpolish.

Am I the only one who isn't into the eyeshadows? I swatched them on my hand and wasn't too impressed. Maybe they need to be used wet. Also all the glitter in it concerns me.

Back from Mac...I didn't really see much in the collection that I cannot live without..swatched Briar Rose and it was too sheer for me..I know it is sheer because it is a beauty powder but..nawww....still didn't work for me. Interestingly I started swatching some permanent blushes and Coygirl is very similar in color imo...just more pigmented. So I ended up only picking up Violetta from the collection and some other things I been wanting...Dollymix and Breezy blushes, Delft ( MA advised me this is being discontinued so I snapped that quick) and Bare Study paint pots. I have fell in love with paint pots lately

.

I also ordered BOA blush and My dark magic MES on MACs website. Should receive those Tuesday. So all and all I think I am finally through with this collection and MAC for a while

Pardon my language, but MAC's black based mineralized shadows aint shit when dry. These, as well as the regular mineralize shadows are ALWAYS better looking and better applied wet. But the black based ones HAVE to be done wet, otherwise, you have yourself a glittery, splotchy not so good looking mess.

I just got my package with Boa blush, heartless and dark deed. I also ordered hot house because I heard how pretty this one is but it might go back not sure yet. Has anyone tried darkly my dear I refuse to go to the counter for fear of being sucked in.

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

i'm nw50...should i pass on the magically cool powder in cajun? any one got swatches??

 

[NLoveW630]

ok..pick up some mac today..and sad to say it's all going back...

just kidding.. but Hot House and Bad Fairy are going back..the texture of HH is not as smooth as the others..I don't like to feel glitter on my lips..yuck!!

I'm not really feeling the polish any more..it was really hard to apply..the brush seems stiff...

Over all I'm happy and done with this collection..I'm taking a mac break for a minute..enjoy...

If you're scared you'll cave and buy DMD, fear not. Wack on NW above 40, and NC 50 and up

 

[belle89]

My Violetta came today. I got the email of BoaA being on backorder

I'll be heading to the MAC store and counter tomorrow for it. I'll consider it a bday gift to myself...if I can get my hands on it, that is.

 

[gabi03]

Damn you Disney and MAC....I ended up with
All 5 lipglosses
2 lipsticks (the red one and the deep purple one)
BOA blush
Cajun powder (looks and feels great on WOC skin)
Both MES Shadows
French Quarter shadestick
One nail polish

I don't feel terrible cause i haven't bought anything from MAC since like May.

[Nepenthe]

Just came back from the counter and nothing really wow'ed me. I did get a sample of Cajun though, we'll see how that goes. I will probably go back for BoA, and maybe Violetta for the packaging but that's it.

Toxic Tale is similar enough to Vegas Volt for me to pass.
Revenge Is Sweet is way too sheer, which made me sad.
Heartless & Dark Deed weren't as unique as I thought they'd be.

 

[honybr]

BeautyByLele you are seriously making me consider getting Wicked Ways. It looks gorgeous. Is it sticky?

I got my package today. Love Bite of an Apple, Hot House, and Revenge is Sweet. I'm still working on Strange Potion to see if it's a keeper or not.

BeautyByLele you are seriously making me consider getting Wicked Ways. It looks gorgeous. Is it sticky?

Hahaha, im liking WW!!!! No, its not too sticky, IMO.
