MAC Venomous Villains Cheat Sheet

MAC Venomous Villains Cheat Sheet

With so many products, some shades with very obvious dupes, and price increases (just for this launch as far as I know), I thought a compilation might help.  All of the descriptions of each shade are mine–they are taken directly from the reviews I did.  You can check off items you’re interested in, write your own notes in the provided section, and be reminded of potential dupes, repromotes, or permanent shades in the launch.  I kept it simple in black and white to make it printer-friendly!

Thank you so much for doing all this! It is incredibly helpful to see the swatches for every single product before the collection even launches! :) Do you happen to know the release date for the collection in France? I thought it would be the same for all of Europe, but it is already posted on the UK website and I just read a comment here that says October 1st for Germany! :(

I've heard dates October 1st-7th for Europe - you might want to ring your local France store to see if they know!

Love this cheat sheet and I have plenty of room to make notations! Thank you so much for doing this!!!

Thank you soooo much for coming up with this cheat sheet. It's practical, has all the information I need and I love the animation you added! I don't collect any LE of MAC (I always wish I could) but I'm not going to miss out on this one! Thanks again!

thank you, i almost cried when i saw this, i tired to make my own, but I'm so new to MAC and got confused.you are my fairy-makeup-god-mother!

Aw, I'm so glad I was able to help Stasha Marie!

Hey! i really want to know if hipness blush from to the beach is like bite of an apple!?

Hipness is a lot more orange, lighter.

Thank you so much for posting this! I just printed off the shopping list!!

Great idea! I didn't want to be carrying it around with me, but I have notes and a spreadsheet on my iPhone of the items and descriptions. My spreadsheet is even formulated to calculate the cost with taxes so that I didn't go too overboard. Yes, I checked it while standing around trying to figure out my picks from the collection....I am such a geek :$

haha!! That is so cute love - I think it's great!

this is awesome! you're great

You're da bomb! :) Thanks so much for putting this together! This collection is so big I didn't know where to beginning with my selection. This checklist will make it much easier! :)

Yay! So happy to hear it, Cindy!

Thanks Christine! These cute sheets will help the my MA out...he's going to love this! LOL!

Haha! Anything to help ;)

OMFG you rock! I just printed and off to my release party in Soho I go!!!

Thank you sooo much! You are my AWESOME! This is helping me figure out what to purchase, what I can do without and the notes section you put in was a thoughtful addition - thanks a million Christine!

You are AWESOME. Thank you so much for this! It came in handy when I did my pre-order at Macy's earlier! Trust me, the collection looked pretty overwhelming when I saw all of the testers at the counter. It was nice to have the cheat sheet with me. :D Thanks again!

WOW. This is amazing! Great job! Looking forward to unveiling tonight in Sacramento!

This is plain simple AWESOME Christine...only YOU can think and do something like this for your readers! Love you

Wow, Christine you are heaven sent!! I'm going to the event tonight and now I won't feel all frenzied or like a nerd with my yellow legal paper! You are just so amazing. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

This is a great idea, thank you! Very helpful. Please do this for every MAC launch. (If you are free, that is!)

Awesome! I love it -- thank you!

Got to pre-order some stuff at my local MAC counter yesterday, and the lady helping me loved these sheets!!! She was like "OMG these are cool, where did you get these?" So I told her temptalia.com!! You r so awesome!!!

Christine! Thank you this is awesome. I will definitely bring this with me when I go to Valley Fair tonight :)

I'm getting really excited for this collection. I thought I only wanted the Bad Fairy NP but dropped by my MAC counter today to ask about the exact launch date in Germany. Not only did the SA answer my question (October 1st, don't know whether that's the same for all of Europe) but she let me have a glimpse into their drawer which was already filled with the testers. :-) OMG, I kinda want everything now!

Yay! Glad you got the date :D

Christine, this is seriously one of the best ideas you've had. I'm always amazed at your creativity and your willingness to help out the community at large. Keep up the fabulous work and thank you so much!

Christine, you F-ing ROCK! This is so much better than copying and pasting from your review into wordpad. Thanks for all you do for us!

You're welcome, Neena!

Christine, you are a sweetheart. Thank you! I wasn't going to get a lot from this launch, and this helps me plan my spending.

Thanks so much for this Christine, printed it out to use tonight at the VV party in SoHo. I'm gonna check to see how many people have it out as well :D

HAHA! Let me know if you spot any ;)

i love that u named it cheatsheet!!! its so funny to me!!:)
