WOC: Venomous Villains

[Face2Mac]

I think that even though this collection is filled with repromotes, it is stuff that people really want, like the pigments and Hothouse (which I personally wanted for the longest time).

But I think BOA blush although can be compared to their pro blushes, not everybody has access to pro store, nor do they want to do phone orders for products. So to release a bright azz blush in a Disney collection for the masses to see, is quite wonderful b/c not many in the beauty game would even consider to release bright red/coral blush.

BTW, I think BOA is going to look fabulous on NC-NW55 and up. I hope it looks nice on me, too but I'm just saying.

It's really not that deep is it?? It's just makeup..you can only do so many shades of one color...

If you want it, buy it, if you don't...then don't

Some of these things are not permanent and may be re-releases BUT someone missed out on it and were waiting on the chance to purchase it.

You really should'nt buy products based on hype anyway...How can one company lose it's fan base b/c they are repromoting colors??? You either like it or you don't..no matter who makes it.

Its not that deep. Its just a topic of discussion about something I like. I buy makeup, I discuss makeup. That's all.

Does anyone think BoA will look a lot like Exhibit A once it gets on the skin?

What does everyone think about Darkly My Dear?

I think Exhibit A and BoA are very different in coloring. Exhibit A being more redish and BoA being more coral.

I've been thinking of getting DMD but I'm concerned it looks similar to notable which I already own. It looks like a great blush for woc

I just getting the MES and possibly the new greasepaint stick.

Double post!!!

 

[DILLIGAF]

Let's just say I have a list. Oh boy do I have a list!

This collection is a snooze to me. The only thing that caught my attention ...even remotely... was Bite of An Apple blush.

If this turns out anything like Hello Kitty, I def need to see swatches on brown skin before even venturing outside to purchase.

If they are going to do repromotes, I wish they would dig deeper in the archives. It kills the magic when you repromote something that was just released the previous year. Especially something like a pigment which no one should be running out of that soon. However, I do know some people miss it the first go around, but still...

Still disappointed in the Facilier collection. It had the potential to be the best one. A black man+creole influences. Instead it's mostly repromotes and dull ones at that.

I've finally decided on Toxic Tale, Strange Potion, Vile Violet, Bite of an Apple and maybe Dark Deed and/or Wicked Ways. That's it.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Im not a nail polish person but I have to admit to wanting the ones that are coming out in this collection. To put things in perspective I always have a huge list but on launch day I usually end up with only 2-3 products. Dream big is what I do. Until I get to the swatches.

Great list. I have to see what I can narrow mine list down too. I know I am going to skip She Who Dares, cause for that deep blue green effect, I can play with Humid and/ or maybe the Dark Blue Green pigment, which I love. No overdone sparkles in those.

Dark Deed, maybe not. I feel like Kittenish and Cunning fixed my need for MAC's 2010 fall deep berries. Plus I fell in love with tons of MUFE lipsticks yesterday. Those are going to be there for a bit, so no rush.

From the collection, definitely getting:

De-vil
My Dark Magic
Bite of an Apple

swatching, and secretly hoping I don't like them so I can save some $$ and just pass on these altogether

)

Revenge is Sweet
Sinister
Wrong Spell
Vainglorious

We'll see! How many days???

I was mainly talking to the folks talking about MAC not being their favorite or not wanting to purchase it anymore b/c of repromotes...

I hear what you are saying, but it's a thought process that makes sense. If you've been into MAC a while, you already have all of this stuff and if it seems to you that they aren't releasing new and interesting things, there's nothing to buy right?

Been into is since 95 so yeah...but to some folks it's a "new" thing...

If there is nothing to buy then good for your wallet right?

i hear what you are saying, and yeah, and they get real upset about it. i think its all silly.

i do believe that once you have brought so much MAC, you can get tired of it. That is how i really started to get into MUFE this summer. I am getting real excited about a great brand again. now I am chasing new products without the whole LE premise so the thrill is even better now!

I saw the collection today and wrote a review in color collections.

There were tons of heavily pigmented colors for women of color. Bite of an Apple blush, Wicked Ways and Revenge is Sweet lip gloss, Heartless and Dark Deed Lipstick, She Who Dares, My Dark Magic, De-vil, and Vainglorious eyeshadows are items that really stood out to me as being brown girl friendly. Push the Edge caught my eye as well. Slept on it last year, but I will hope to get it at the CCO.

This is going to be the last MAC collection I am going to be hauling for a while. MUFE and NARS are lacking in my stash and I want to step up my game with them. I can't haul from all three at the same time, so the decision was easy. Overall the collection is beautiful have fun hauling!
