nice haul
I think toxic take looks good ... i saw it on an Asian MA who was pretty fair and it looked great on her too... I am afraid of carrying it off, so maybe its not for me, but it is defnly a pinky coral and not orange like Morange.
Also, I like BR better than AB, I feel it isnt as cool as AB on me.

- Revenge is Sweet l/g - it's a pretty pink when swatched on my hand, but I didn't see much of it on my pigmented lips, it just intensifies my lip color. I love how it didn't have much glitter and I think it'll be lovely in colder months. As for my thoughts of the other things in this collection: - The packaging MES looks really great! I didn't get it though because I figured I must save for Tartan Tale - Bite of an Apple blush looks like Hipness heavily applied on me, so I passed - Briar rose is nice, but I figured since I have Azalea Blossom, I passed as well. - Violetta looks more of a toned down pinkish purple on me, and - Toxic Tale lost all of its orange on me and it looks more pinkish coral. I wonder if this would look good on my skintone. Any opinions? |

Thank you
. I had a feeling that toxic tale would look better for someone with a medium to fair skintone, but it'll look very bold with my skintone (medium dark). I decide against it for now, as I really shouldn't shop much if I want to haul Tartan Tale and UD Naked.
About BR, I swatched it again today, and damn it is very pretty. It's showing up more pigmented than AB as well. So I'm definitely recommending it too for WOC. The only reason I'm not getting it is my limited fund for something that's kinda similar to what I have

I went to the preview party. Promptly came home and wrote a long glowing and gushing review about the products I got. Unfortunately my internet choose that time to not work. *sighs*
Anyway here's the short version: I LOVE WHAT I GOT!!!!!
The only disappointment was Toxic Tale l/s. I left that one behind. God knows I wanted it to work. I tried everything!! I even went to the Pro store 2 days later to see if they knew something I didn't. But just like Vegas Volt it refused to play nice. It's funny because I can wear Neon Orange and Electro without blinking.
Here's what I got: (two trips total the preview and the pro store 2 days later)
She Who Dares mes
My Dark Magic mes
Bite Of An Apple blush
Heartless l/s
Wicked Ways l/g
Revenge Is Sweet l/g
Formidable n/l (my 1st MAC nail polish. I usually think they are overpriced but this was soo pretty I couldn't say no)

I haven't seen any WOC interested in Wrong Spell L/G. I know I was. It seemed a little scary at first but I paired it with Resort Life Lipglee in the middle of my lips and made a big difference!! This color is worth a second look IMO.
The look:
MAC Pro Long Wear Foundation NW50
Mac Mineralize Skinfish in Deep Dark
MAC My Dark Magic Mineralize E/S both sides
MAC Vile Violet E/S
MAC Carbon E/S
MAC Bite of Apple Blush
MAC Engraved Pencil
MAC Wrong Spell L/G
MAC Resort Life L/G

A toned down Toxic Tale at 6:50. I'm glad I skipped TT because I don't want to have to go through toning it down and TT is a "aww hell no" for me so you know...anyway take a look ya'll for those of you who have TT and need help with it if it doesn't look too good on you by itself.

I agree with you in regards to "toning down" a lipstick, IMO I think that defeats the purpose of buying the color,
Edit: Unless Im buying it to mix with another color to create a new lipcolor

While this lady looks beautiful, I think she wasted her time/$ purchasing TT. The end result of the "toned down" TT isn't even coral and doesn't remotely resemble the original TT. TT looks better on lighter folks just like BOA looks better on darker folks. It is what it is.
I hope she doesn't mind me posting her photo from the VV Collection discussion thread, but this is by FAR the prettiest TT look I've seen so far. It looks gorgeous on her, and the color is still coral even though she used a liner:

I swatched both of those on top of each other in the store, and fell in love. I had to put RIS is back, because I had similar glosses at home that would do the trick. I love Violetta also!
It's officially my holy grail lipstick.

PREACH!!!!! I don't understand what compels people to insist on all kinds of alchemy to make products work for them, especially outside of the low end drugstore/beauty supply store range.
For my money, a product should work straight up out of the tube/compact/pan, etc.
It points back to something Twinkle_Twinkle said way back in the "makeup crimes" thread. I won't quote or paraphrase her because I have my hands full at the moment, but what it boils down to is that if you have to resort to scratching your head with pairings or mixing in other products in order to make it work for you... IT DOESN'T WORK, SHAWTY! Return it, toss, it, give it away, but for goodness' sake, don't try to fool yourself into thinking it fits!

I've been wanting to try Cyber! On another board I saw someone suggest using it with Liquid Lurex on top. I've curious to try that look.
I bought Wrong Spell though, I was contemplating returning it for another Violetta, but I think I will keep it now, especially after seeing the pics upthread.
