MAC Venomous Villains

MAC Venomous Villains Collection for Disney

U.S. Launch Date: September 30th, 2010 (online as early as 9/27)
International Launch Date: October 2010

A potion to poison, an apple to bite, a spell to cast… Bad never looked so good. A crystal ball of colour created from our favourite Disney Venomous Villains, inspired by the three most infamously frosty, fabulous and formidable of Disney’s dark ladies… and one dastardly Dr. Facilier. Don’t you love it?

A MAC and Disney collaboration to celebrate the dark side in every one of us, in a glamorous sort of way. Who’s the fairest one of all? Four separate mini-collections, in haute animated couture. The incomparable Cruella De Vil and Snow White’s Evil Queen are dazzlingly devilish; Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent and The Princess and the Frog’s DR. FACILIER, both up to no good on their own. Uniquely designed iconic packaging you will kill for, cunning characters and bedeviled beauties that are so alluring, you can’t help but wonder what it would be like to be one!

I saw sneak peak pics of this collection and I gotta say, OMG crazy boring! I love the names of all the products but seriously they gotta do something better with the packaging. It almost makes me mad because its even worse than the Hello Kitty collection from last year… I wish they could’ve done something more interesting like how they worked with Liberty of London rather than just stuck the carton pics of the villains on their usual black packaging. Sigh.

Sheila Avatar

I posted up some pictures on my blog that I found on someone’s Tumblr. Thank goodness I saw this in advance or else I would have been majorly disappointed when it finally releases.

Denise Avatar

Yeah I will also be deppoting this it look horriable and tacky.I am really disaponted with M.A.C…..If they were going to be make this collection they should have went with a second collection for hello kitty because that was a good collection

Samantha Avatar

I like them a lot! Maybe it’s because I’m young and I still watch some Disney movies but honestly who cares about packaging! It’s like the saying ” Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!” and that’s what your doing! I also think MAC are trying to do something simple because of the Rodarte issues.

steff Avatar

i deff agree with you ,,who cares about the packaching ive been buying mac products since i was like 15 and i have many of their collections and i just love the concept of the colors and the name that reside pure evil ..im soo amped to get this !!

Shaye Avatar

It’s apparently all about what Disney gives them, since they own any images of the characters, MAC can only use what Disney gives them to use. The companies MAC works with on a collection seem to have a lot of power over it. So it was probably Disney that chose Dr Facilier. No surprise there, since they have been pushing that movie like crazy. And it was Disney that gave the crappy images for the packaging.

Ceriene Avatar

Paul and Joe released a collection with Disney characters (Bambi, I believe, and more recently, Alice in Wonderland) and they managed to spice the packaging up with some additional stock images (lace, flowers, etc) and the end result was very pretty.

I think MAC took the easy way out on this, using only the Disney images on a black background and not adding any creative input of their own.

tl;dr- it’s not all Disney. MAC could’ve done something to make this packaging look less tacky.

vmcrow Avatar

I have to agree. The packaging really turns me off. Instead of looking fun, it looks childish, like “play” make up. Too bad MAC! It doesn’t appeal to me.

Phoebe Avatar

Well all i can say is at least they didnt put massive glitters in the black packaging this time, like they did with the hello kitty collection.

LC Avatar

you have to admit, the green & blue mineral eye (she who dares) is pretty outstanding, and the nail polish, as well as the red cruella lipglass with fuschia pearlized pigments! and toxic tale (coral lip from the evil queen) is much like a hybrid of vegas volt and show orchid with the texture of an amplified. it’s worth seeing in person 🙂

Roxanne Avatar

I never get excited over collection information bc I can never fully visualise. The nail lacquers might be interesting. The packaging will play a major role in my may-or-may-not-splurge…

marisa Avatar

the packaging is black with images of the characters on it, just like they look in the movie, not the sketchy ones that were released promotionally.

Ashley Avatar

Christine I absolutely love your page. I am so excited for this collection! I know that whenever I want the latest info about any collection I can count on you. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

resham Avatar

The blush and Beauty Powders look good…lets see..I hope the packaging is better, unline that crapy FAFI one wth just stickers…paper stickers to be precise…

Jazz Avatar

I want to see the packaging , but the lipglasses and some of the eyeshadows sound interesting …they are on the want list. This is not gonna a be a wallet friendly collection

Michou Avatar

Ok, I won’t lie. I get excited, especially when it’s (a) a fall release (all my fave stuff tends to come out in the fall) and (b) based on villains. HOWEVER, I’m going to go with the crowd and wait for pics before getting excited. 🙂

Veronica Avatar

I’m obsessed with anything Disney and of course I love MAC, so I know I have to buy at least a few products from this collection! I’m planning on getting all of the lipsticks, beauty powders and the mirror.

Simone Avatar

I’ve seen a picture of the packaging and I quite like it, I don’t don’t think we’ve got the whole list yet, Since I think they may put out more than one lipgelee.
I love the fact we’ve got MES and regular eyeshadows, and Amplified creames are my favorite lipsticks!

Monzav Avatar

Honestly, I can’t wait for these! I think more than anything, I’ll be snatching up the lipglasses, a couple of lipsticks, and maybe Bite of an Apple blush.

Amy C. Avatar

not impressed at all with the color selection… what’s up with the beauty powder and the blush?!? beauty powders and blushes are my fave thing from MAC and this kind of sucks.

Kerri Avatar

I’ll probably get a few things from this but it doesn’t sound like it’s going to bankrupt me like I was anticipating. Thank god!

Ash Avatar

Thank you for posting the list with prices. I hope these are actually what it costs I read on Specktra that they would be more but it wasn’t an official post or anything. I have to agree I saw the packaging and it is pretty anticlimactic after all the hype. Yay you screen printed the characters on each thing.. no special design, no artsy scribbles like the intro. It kind of looks cheap really. Oh well the colors sound amazing and I am so happy you posted this. Thank you!!

Ash Avatar

Yep I figured that is what you did. I think the hike is coming in July. I guess we will have to wait and see. Thanks for going to all the trouble to price it, it makes things easy and keeps it in perspective for me.

Gao Avatar

Hmm.. not much I want but I really like the Villains haha 🙂
Maybe when it offically releases and I hear more
reviews, I’ll want it more XD ‘Innocence, Beware!’ is something
I’m looking forward to though!

Vonvon Avatar

From the description of colors of the Mineral Eyeshadow duos, they seem to be my kind of shades, pink/purple and dark blue/ green, but gotta see the photos and the real things first!

Wilcoa Avatar

Sadly I’m not feeling the collection now. Maybe if anything I’d be interested in Briar Rose, but I guess we’ll wait to see the images.

Sylvie Avatar

I’m excited to see the red lipstick from the Cruella de Vil part of the collection. Villains always have such delicious red lipsticks.

Dusty Avatar

I talked to someone about the liquid powders. Apparently they are a loose powder that, once put on the skin kind of melts and liquifies, then sets up like a powder again. It might be more of a “on bare skin” kind of thing – Like the cream bronzers that came out with “To The Beach.” Interesting anyway…

On a side note: None of the people I talked to who went to Update and saw this collection knew who the hell Dr. Facilier was. LOL! And everyone said the same thing over and over, “Where’s Ursula?!”

Xtina Avatar

You would think that since Ursula was based on an eyeshadow-afficionado-drag-queen (Divine) she would have been a go-to character for makeup licensing.

freya Avatar

I was so disappointed in the maleficent items, she’s my favorite villain.
Rekon they should have done some sort of metalic packaging liek they did with the Diana Ross collection waaayyy back. I’m so going to go work at MAC and work on better packaging. the people doing it at the moment need to be fired, they’re doing such a crap job. all they have to do it slap some Disney images on there regular black packaing, maybe chuck a gloss on it. soooo disappointed! they probably wont do this collection again and they wasted it, with boring, cheap looking packaging.

ok well that’s my rant, but seriously MAC get it together – this packaging is doing nothing for the name of your brand.

still gunna buy a couple of things just coz the colours look nice.

MAC Seduction Avatar

You’re right. Packaging plays a MAJOR role in how much I spend or DONT spend. I have every color, what would make me buy more stuff if the packaging. Stickers, meh…I would pass before I even see them. Like Dame Edna, I purchase ONE powder in spirit but could have spent waaay more.

I hope MACs marketing/design teams floats on these sites and if design is not already locked down, considers tweaking the design and doing something more fabulous. Yeah, names are great but w/o design no point.

"Karma" Avatar

I am excited for this collection however the packaging is just ok in my opinion. There is just something from the pictures that makes is look very cheap and child like. It looks like kiddie makeup. I would rather then do a different color container for some of these collections then the characters on them. I’m still excited about the collection though but since there is special packaging I guess its safe to assume there is no pro discount which will suck.

Adail Avatar

Hi Christine…Resort Life was from Mac in Lillyland collection i believe…not what’s written. Just wanted to give a heads up. Thanks for the info!

Deirdre Avatar

If MAC is doing special packaging and making me pay full price (pro card holder) then it better be something to wow my socks off!! Hey MAC if you are seeing this, step up your game one this one right here.

Dusty Avatar

is anyone else surprised to see a disney villians collection without a single green eyeshadow? i was hoping for at least one fun lipstick (green or blue) but assumed that there would be a couple green eyeshadows…

i was honestly thinking eyeshadow trios (like with dame edna, etc.) would have been in this – fun compacts with groovy packaging. i’m sure the package designs will be special, i just expected to see more le style packaging (would have been even better to see new products)!

unrelated to the theme of this collection, i’m excited to see push the edge out again – i’m down to less than a teaspoon of it! lol! (i think the descriptions are mixed up for push the edge and brash and bold tho)

Dusty Avatar

ok i know we won’t know anything until we see what this looks like, and christine – thanks for taking the time to post this!!

but you know what? i’m actually kind of irritated at this collection! with a collection based on disney villians, i shouldn’t be scanning the descriptions HUNTING for something that sounds interesting! i should be panicking and thinking, “how can i afford all this?!” pretty sad mac… pretty sad.

maybe i can just blame it on the LAME choice to use dr. facilier instead of a memorable villian (ursula would have been one of my top choices). whoever was in charge of that decision should be locked up in the disney vault.

Dusty Avatar

if i was going to pick a lesser-known villain i would have gone for ezma instead of dr. facilier (but i LOVE eartha kitt and she SO needs a mac collection – i don’t care if she isn’t around anymore!) hehe! but i agree! i hate that i actually know these things (or think this way) but ursula was putting ON makeup in the movie! (lo!) she should have been one of these villains!

Dusty Avatar

just off the top of my head… a few of the things i would have liked to have seen:

1) a trio of eyeshadows for each character (in a le compact)
2) two lipsticks for each with some GOOD colors (a couple cool re-promotes like that blue from c-shock or “grid” or “blade” from WAY back when would even be cool!)

i honestly like the idea of keeping the collections similar for each character – with maybe ONE something special for each… like 2 new WILD eyelashes for cruella, some kind of awesome compact for the evil queen from snow white, a deep dark fragrance in a cool vial (like poison) for EZMA!!! lol! you get the idea.

with one shot and this and a really cool concept to work with, i would have gone WAY over the top (but that’s why i don’t work for mac… my ideas would never sell to a large group. lol!)

Jennifer Avatar

Dusty, Mac totally needs to hire you to help design their collections. You have awesome ideas. I would totally buy the collection you listed.

Jazz Avatar

how can you not use ursula- this was a dumb decision. Can you imagine the colors that could have been used for ursula – that would have been hot

Cinthia Avatar

I completely agree about the Ursula thing, I would of thought she would of been one of the first villains they decided to use. I remember one of my favorite parts of The little mermaid was when ursula squishes that little animal thing and uses it as a lipstick. lol. I don’t know why I loved that part so much, but I did.

clementine Avatar

On the other hand, I kind of expected this, though. Most Disney villains share very similar color palettes, so I was wondering how they were going to make it interesting, and… well, it seems like they haven’t, LOL.

I agree about the green shadow, though! Black, purple, and green are the three basic villain colors, hahaha, how did they cut that one out?!

Hopefully, the swatches will prove us wrong…

Thanks for posting, Christine! Can’t wait to actually see the colors, though. [crosses fingers?]

Erica Lynn Avatar

So..this is slightly random, but you, Erica (which is my name too) commented and then you, Paige (my sister’s name) commented to Erica…i just thought it was funny.
Anyway, back to MAC – – you are totally right! i need at least one thing from each character…plus more haha. but i’ll even buy something from this Dr. fellow who i’ve never heard of haha.

Tasia Avatar

Based on some of the descriptions: Ack, must start saving!

After seeing some photos: They could have done so much more with the packaging. A little disappointed.

Final verdict: Won’t be spending as much as I thought.

Kaylee D Avatar

I’m sorry, but I absolutely hate the packaging! It looks cheap and tacky and highly unoriginal. I would’ve loved to see the sketched versions of the characters in black if they were going to stick with the black-colored packaging; this just looks like something I’d find in a kids’ makeup play set.

On that note, until I see the pictures, the only things that really catch my eye by description are the nail lacquers. I can’t wait to see those, actually!

V Avatar

Exactly! They needed to make it more adult instead it looks like a childrens playset complete with the plastc mirror and plastic lipstick. I will only be purchasing the nail lacquers and maybe a beauty powder.. That’s it!

Jenny Avatar

Ugh. I too saw the pictures for this packaging. IT SUCKS. its tacky and boring. I was expecting something edgier like the teaser they had. cheap and tacky looking. YUCK

Christine Avatar

I think black packaging and the sketches from the teaser would have looked way cooler than these stickers. I am still excited for this collection because the colors sound cool.

amy Avatar

I am most interested in the nail lacquered in the Maleficent collection and the liquid powders from Dr Facilier collection. I wonder what liquid powders are.

Virginia Avatar

I think the packaging looks kinda cute, but kinda kid-like. The colors don’t sound very interesting other than the nail lacquers.

kitty Avatar

I feel like the could have chosen better characters ! Who is DR. FACILIER ? I guessed cruella and the evil queen but was also expecting ugly step sisters, queen of hearts, captain hook and ursula ? still saving for it though !!! The polishes sound to die for!!

Nikki Avatar

Dr. Facilier is the villain from Disney’s latest box office hit titled Princess and the Frog which featured a black girl as the main character. I am happy they included a newer villain to the other classics. Diversity from a makeup collection is always good!

JayJay Avatar

Well, I’ve got my list together. The stuff that isn’t on the list, I definitely plan to check out in person:

Lipglass-
Devilishly Stylish

Eyeshadow –
Vile Violet

Mineralize Eyeshadow-
My Dark Magic – Pink/Plum
She Who Dares – Navy/Forest Green

Pigments –
Brash and Bold
Push the Edge

Magically cool liquid powder –
Truth and Light (I don’t know about this one.. depends what it feels like)

The nail lacquers also sound really interesting, but I don’t do my fingernails at all..

Cait Avatar

The only part of this collection that makes me a bit excited is the ‘Heartless’ Lipstick, perhaps that’ll be a nice true red…
I have the hardest time finding a nice true red lipstick that lasts. I have blonde hair, light brown eyes and a yellowy tinge to my skin :/
It seems like most true reds are make for lighter people :/

Rachael Avatar

I just googled the leaked pics of this, i really really hope they are wrong it looks rubbish 🙁 like they just took a picture of a villan and smacked it on the front of the case, imagine using it people would think its for kids! I mean ill still get some if the ltd edition colours/products are too my taste and some sound interesting

What a shame though this could have been so much more I wonder if these pics are right would MAC finalise packaging months before release?

Cinthia Avatar

I’m excited about this collection, but the packaging is very important to me. I’m going to start saving now, but I really hope MAC delivers with the packaging especially because it’s a Disney collection (it should be special). Can’t wait to see the pictures!

MARTINE Avatar

If this is bona fide, I’ll be dissapointed. The packaging looks cheap and tacky and many of the colours sound boring. I was expecting so much more.

Valentine Avatar

Oooh, I was interested in the concept but was sure all the shades would be too dark for me. I’m not a fan of purples and black shades in my makeup, so I’m glad there are some corals, pinks, and coppers in there.

Tasha Avatar

From the pictures from the site that someone posted are pretty cool. I know this isn’t the best of MAC but don’t MAC usually put up awesome packaging around February/March like HK, Heatherette, Liberty London.. So for a collection that’s around september, I would say it’s pretty good. I would buy it. 🙂

Kalee Avatar

the only thing that sounds appealing to me is:
Her Alter Image & Vile Violet eyeshadows (purples….go figure..)and
Formidable! & Mean & Green Purple nailpolishes

sass Avatar

Boring or whatever I’m still buying a lot from this collection. The collection packaging alone is worth a lot in the Disney Collectors World. I collect Maleficent pins as well as Evil Queen pins so I’m going to be in MAC heaven when this collection comes out. I also go to Disney World every year and we’re going for Halloween 2010 and I’ll be sure to get pictures with all of my villains when I get there. I love the collection from what I see in the sneak preview pictures. Yeah!

Kelly C. Avatar

I can pick out several items that I’m interested in! (especially that Cherry lipstick… I’m predicting the next Marine Life right there). But then again, I’m very new to makeup, so while the collection might not inspire long time collecting veterans, I see this as an opportunity to pick up some great basic colors with nifty packaging : )

Milessa Avatar

I was disappointed that Mac chose not to use a more classic character like Ursula, whom I would have loved to see. I highly doubt these pictures are the final packaging. Although, packaging doesn’t influence whether I buy or not. Guess I have to start the saving from now!

My list is
Innocence, Beware! Lipstick

Twaniesha Glenn Avatar

I beg to differ about the packaging pics. I saw them and I kind of like them. The shiney black cases with the villian on the top. I actually was dying to buy a palette but they didn’t make any so, I’ll just wait til it comes out!

JayJay Avatar

I’m guessing it’s either a silicone type liquid, that dries to a powdery finish. OR, it’s a powder that’s very very soft, with a cooling feeling, that feels like liquid on the skin.

Dramaticness Avatar

This is not right …. I was really hoping to see some cool eye palettes. I am very disappointed with the packaging and am secretly hoping that these sneak pics are fake.

Jennifer Avatar

I’m so excited! 🙂 If this is a hit, I hope it inspires them to another Disney collection. I just feel like many great characters were left out. Personally I don’t think DR. Facilier should have been included, but I understand that Princess and the Frog is their latest movie and this is another way for them to promote it (I don’t think the sales for the movie were very good, I mean it still made plenty of money but I think they expected a larger profit)

SoSwanky Avatar

The movie did very well- the merchandise did even better, with dolls selling out way in advance of the movie’s release. I think that Ursula would have been Perfect for this collection, but for what ever reason, they chose not to add her in. Dr. Facilier was a voodoo doctor fro the movie and A LOT of color was used for his character and things that involved he. He is the lastest vilian and it is smart to promote the latest to the collection.

Jennifer Avatar

I agree with you about Dr. Facilier, but I WISH they had added Ursula too. You even see her putting makeup on in the movie. 🙂

LNU Avatar

I have my eye on De-vil, Sweet Joy, Her Alter Image, Vainglorius, Vile Violet, Oh So Fair, Briar Rose, the mirror, and the nail lacquers!
But what exactly is a Magically Cool Liquid Powder?

Crissy Avatar

How disappointing! I can’t believe there are no deep red lipsticks. And Dr. Facilier was not a memorable villain, I have no idea why he’s even included in this collection.

Vex Avatar

Ursula, however – the Disney villain seemingly most commonly clamored for, at least on the beauty blogs I frequent – is from “The Little Mermaid” which came out in 1989. I would imagine that she is often requested because MAC fans who are somewhere between their twenties and thirties, and perhaps even those in their forties, commonly associate Disney villainy with her, because she was one of the first one they saw, or at least one of the first female ones. (Consider that “Sleeping Beauty” was released in ’59, “101 Dalmatians” in ’61, and “Snow White” in ’37 – although they’re obviously classics and not at all foreign to anyone, they may not be as visceral and nostalgic an association as that of Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”. I don’t know; that’s just a guess.)

And, if you think about it, it seems probable that it is the early-twenties to mid-or-late thirties range that is the main demographic for MAC cosmetics, as that age range is both likely to have some disposable money, and may be likely to spend that money on make-up in bold colors. Judging from all the “But who is Dr. Facilier?” comments, it also seems that they may not watch the new Disney movies all that much, anymore. It would perhaps make more sense for MAC, from a business perspective, to focus their collection partially on a character that is certain to engender a certain sense of nostalgia in a large section of their main demographic.

But, at the same time, sure! If what they are doing is trying to draw in younger, or new, consumers, then certainly Dr. Facilier is a good enough choice. I suspect Disney itself has a large hand in it, too, trying to push their new franchise.

Crissy Avatar

I know he’s new and being young myself, I still think he’s a bootleg Jafar. Mac apparently wanted to include a male villain but they should have chosen someone classic. His part of the collection is not impressive either, what with all the repromotes.

Brittney Avatar

There are a few things soung great like the nail polish sounds awesome… but I think a good chunk of this stuff is attracting me because of the name, and if you read just the description i could probably do without… well let see when it comes out how it looks 🙂

Nothing really impresses me. I think I’m gonna save my money for this summers “dare to wear” there are so many lipglosses that I want from it

Alex Avatar

I went to my MAC counter today and asked the lady and she said that it would be like a powder for a “dewy” face look, and that the powder feels like liquid.

carlin Avatar

i dont know if anyone knows about the prescriptives powder that when you brush it on it feels wet? it might be like that. its called the magic liquid powder. my friend has it, and it was mind blowing at first to brush it on and think ‘wait is the brush wet” lol

Lyssa Avatar

The Magically Cool Liquid Powder is a feather light silky powder. Its a water power hybrid and its moisturizing. 65% water. Its better used as a highlighter. If you have any other questions on collections you can visit my blog.

Ashley Avatar

i cant wait 4 the pix! i only get certain things from certain mac collections so im hoping this one is amazing there are a few that sound sooo amazing cant wait

Mackenzie Avatar

I’m so disappointed… 🙁 My wallet is happy though. Dr. Facilier? Really? I LOVED him in the movie, and Disney villains are my favorite, but I guess I was hoping for some more “classics”. Oh, and Hades…. come on! He runs the underworld!!!!!!!! Sigh. Oh well.

Laura Avatar

Damn them I’m going to have to get Briar Rose because of the name and I want to check out the magically cool liquid powder because I have no idea what that means, other than that I think I can live without most of it.

Heather Avatar

This collection has become the biggest letdown for me… I have been looking forward to it for so long and its just boring and cheap… not pleased at all…

Rosanna Avatar

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the list of products. I was scared for having TWO HUGE collection one month after another.
I’m glad it’s not a terribly huge collection because I really wanted to spend on the Fabulous Felines Collection more. Please say this is the final list of products for the collection!

Based on the descriptions, the colours don’t sound too original. I’m really in for colour and quality than packaging!
I’m interested in:

Heartless Lipstick (OMG love reds 🙂
Her Alter Image e/s
Vile Violet e/s
Dark Deed lipstick (interesting, dark is good but hopefully not dark enough it’d be black on lips!)

andreina alvizo Avatar

wow sounds really cool! i hope there is limited edition packaging then im so getting a powder for the packaging! and just to let you know brash and bold pigment is the pink one and push the edge is a purple color, you just switched them up

Liz Avatar

Pffttt, I kinda laughed when I saw him on the packaging, interesting, he didn’t seem like the type to be found on lipstick, oh well. But, the Doc isn’t too happy about being stuck on a lipstick tube himself, of being FOUND on it more like it. Not that he told me or anything because I mean that would be crazy right? Naw, more like I think if he could say anything about it he wouldn’t like it…you know you can ignore this one right?

bellcheria Avatar

I see plum, purple, lime green, nail laquer, GREASEPAINTS STICKS and the Brash&Bold repromote! I’m super happy with this!!

Rosie Avatar

Oh man I think I’m gonna have to skip out of IMATS, and only get the BOS III from UD and then no more makeup buying cause if the colors are as awesome as they sound I want so much of this! Plus Disney Villians are awesome! I wish they’d done Ursula though or Scar, there are some awesome villians.

Rhia Avatar

i was soo excited for this collection. still am, but the few pics i’ve seen of the packaging is definitely a let down. it looks like just the villain’s pictures on the top of the compacts. but i’m still saving for a few things haha

sandrine Avatar

Was prepared to buy a lot of stuff from this collection but I got a little deflated after reading this, maybe because there are no accompanying pictures. When I saw the packaging, got all the more disappointed. It looks cheap. Oh well, I’m just hoping that seeing the items in person would change my mind.

Judy Avatar

Oh doggone it! I need the Dark Deed lipstick, Heartless lipstick, Vile Violet eyeshadow & the Bite of an Apple blush so far. MAC!!!!!!!!!

Melanie Avatar

OMG….I am sick with excitement!! I’ve waited soooo long for MAC to release Violetta Pro Lipstick in one of their collections, and now I FINALLY get the chance to snatch up this gem! THANK YOU MAC!!!!

Lisa Avatar

i’m struggling with this … the colors are not so interesting, but i love the names. i don’t really like the packaging but i’m still anxious for it to come out. i’m waiting for you pictures to come up, maybe that’ll change my mind. i really wished the pictures were perhaps the sketches of it. it would have made it seem less kiddy. but i can see why they put the versions they have up. it really emphasis and compliments the colors of the characters.

Shannon Avatar

Kaja Avatar

I don’t know why everyone is saying the packaging stinks. I think it’s awesome & creative. I’m not one that just buys stuff for the packaging anyhow. I think that is pretty lame to be honest. I do like only a few items from this collection, thank goodness. I honestly thought it would be a much larger collection with more lipsticks to chose from. I can’t wait to see the actual promotional pictures & find out what Christine recommends.

vicky Avatar

I have never actually gotten the chance to buy anything from a big mac collection. i only started getting into makeuo recently and i am soo looking forward to this. if anyone can post a link to where they saw the packaging i would reall appreciate it. thank you 🙂

Oh, I found two pictures online and I didn’t care for the packaging much either. I guess I’ll have to see it in person before I decide either way. I didn’t know if it was kosher or not to include a link to another blog, Christina, but I saved the two images that I found to my photobucket so that I could post them without stepping on any toes. Hope that doesn’t step on any toes either. If so, just delete them. I love your website Christina. I check it everyday to see what’s new. 🙂 Here are the two links to the pics I found of the Venomous Villains collection. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n106/FloridaNat1ve/MAC%20Venomous%20Villains/promo.jpg

The descriptions sounded great but I looked up some pics and they look kind of boring. I was going to save up for this but I don’t know if this is skip worthy and I should spend on the dare to wear collection… Hmmm…

Vicky Avatar

i am hoping that that isnt really the packaging. its just like stickers!!?? but you know maybe those were fakes idk. we can’t know for sure until they start promoting it

Lexus thomas Avatar

when can you get pics of these items? im sure you can have mac give you more info or pics! tell them your readers demand to see more! love your site, but there is already pics out there ! you should have the first pics because your site is the best !!!!!

Amanda Avatar

I’ve also seen sneak peeks. The colors that I DID see look nice but the packaging is such a downer. I wish it was more whimsical, but hey, I guess MAC got lazy or something.

Naomi Avatar

Tatum Avatar

Why is everything a dollar more for this collection than what it usually is? Ex) E/s, usually 14.50, and then up there it says 15.50. And the Lipstick and lipglasses are usually 14 and it says 15?

Hannah Avatar

How crazy 🙂 Im from the UK and visiting Florida in September for 2 weeks. I hope they release it when I am there, as we are visiting Disney a few times. And obviously the Florida Mall for Forever 21, MAC and Sephora! Any recommendations on what to look out for?

Stephanie Raymond Avatar

Why is writing lipstick in place of lipglass in the collection of Cruella De Vil?

*sorry for my bad english i speak french

Taylor Avatar

I’m really excited about this collection! Revenge is Sweet lipglass sounds amazing!!

Does anyone remember the Truth & Light lipglass that’s been discontinued? Do you think it has any correlation to the Magically Cool Liquid Powder of the same name? Just curious!

missy Avatar

looks like cheap packaging…sad for Disney 🙁
but i guess in a way its okay b/c then
you can focus on the product rather than omg its cute

H.Lee Avatar

Are you serious???
wow. disappointed. Like most of you guys, I was hoping there’d be some unique sketches.

I could do better with my own disney stickers.. e.g. snow white on my frosty and highlighter shades, and one of those villains on my darker, mystic shades.

I can save my money now

LNU Avatar

The packaging is absolutely horrendous. So much so that I might even skip out on a few of the things I was gonna buy, yuck.

Samantha Avatar

The packaging looks tacky but I understand that they can’t really change the Disney characters much. Where was Dr. Facilier from anyway?? haha I’m still looking forward to the beauty powders though!

Patty Avatar

I am very excited that most of these lipsticks are Amplified, my favorite kind! I’m also excited about the navy/green shadow duo, as well as the De-vil and Sinister shadows! Overall the colors seem very fall, deep rich hues with a lot of pop for the lips. I was hoping for a very cool sketch-like interpretation of the Disney characters on the packaging instead of just a plain sticker… But I will definitely splurge, the colors are what you see at the end right?

Vanessa Avatar

I’m really, really disappointed in this packaging. It looks like something I had when I was 7. I expected way more out of the artists at Disney, not to mention MAC…I LOVE disney, this should be a little gothic (villans) maybe Anna Sui esq? some of the colors sound good, I’ll wait until you swatch some and see what to pick up! Definitely not going crazy like I did for ‘To The Beach’

Ellie Avatar

I normally love MAC’s LE collections, but the packaging looks a little too childish to me…bring back Liberty of London-esque packaging! Kind or reminds me of the play makeup I had as a kid haha

Kathy Avatar

Wow. The packaging is a complete letdown. I was really excited for the design of this collection, too. 🙁

Well, I hope the products themselves are good … But my excitement for this collection has gone down considerably. I guess this is good news for my wallet.

Jessica Allison Avatar

Can’t say leave it for sure until I see the shades, but I agree with the general sentiment that the packaging is a huge disappointment. I suppose I was picturing something similar to Anna Sui’s packaging, but with a disney influence. These look like something that would be sold in the Disney Store.

Miss_Silk Avatar

um…did a few of the products go up a dollar? O__o;;

Hmm i’m actually excited for this collections despite what the packaging looks like. I got really excited because of the names for everything lol

Rocio Avatar

hey christine, i noticed that the prices changed on some of the products do you know when the prices will change on the MAC website or stores?

Ashley Avatar

I want a lot of stuff from this collection, packaging is actually number 2 for me, but based on the description of these products, I’m sold.

LB Avatar

Super tacky packaging. After the very cool teaser video, what a disappointment to see such childish packaging! This collection has gone from a must-buy to a “the products will have to be amazing and unique before I will buy.”

Tawny Avatar

Black packaging with a boring portrait of each character? HOW BORING. The packaging should atleast have a unique color background that remind us of the characters. Look-wise, I’m not digging it; they look like them cheapo cosmetic stuff from Claire’s for little girls.

Leenie Avatar

I cant wait to see this collection I hope they don’t take to long putting out the pictures for It. I like the idea of villains.

kcrystal Avatar

im not really excited. I mean really .. what can mac possibly come out with that i either don’t have or hasn’t been done before and instead glamorize it’s image by repackage the products that are either “similiar” or is a permanent. This is an easy pass with a lot of “yawning” in between.

Dominique Avatar

The descriptions and the idea of teaming up with disney are so nice and tempting! But the packaging sadly turns out to looks like fake makeup i played with when i was a kid

Dawn Avatar

The nail lacquers sound interesting – can’t wait to see them. Other than that, there’s only really Bite of an Apple and possible the Evil Queen’s purple eyeshadows that interest me. Really not keen on the packaging though – looks like kids’ makeup from the market.

freewing78 Avatar

ahhh…i must say…the packaging really turns me off on this one, i think i will skip this…they look more like toy(and a cheap one,too) than makeup!

Sweeda88 Avatar

Not excited about the packaging, but I probably will get Violetta l/s, because I want it, but don’t have a PRO store near me. And the over the phone shipping costs are prohibitive!

Judy Avatar

Interesting. I don’t mind the packaging too much because it’s not really important to me. I prefer good colors and finishes to be honest. I would have preferred the sketch type designs, but… I’m still interested in buying a few of these items.

Stephanie Avatar

I think i am the only one but a really like the packaging because it’s represent the real image of the villains that scares me when I was a child so for me the packaging represents the memories of my childhood and i like this feeling :).So that why i like the packaging.

Michelle Avatar

They probably went up knowing MAC. Their prices have been steadily going up. I am dissapointed because MAC is raising their prices because they know people are addicted to these collections being released, not because their quality is increasing.

Diana S. Avatar

Im really surprised that this is getting so many negative comments! I am totally loving these! I would get them just for the pictures on the compacts themselves, too cute!I cannot wait to see all of it!

Nayeli Avatar

The packaging looks like stickers and the prices increased…. Do u know if these prices are just for this collection or are these new MAC prices?

Katie Avatar

I love pretty packaging as much as the next girl, but when push comes to shove, it’s all about the product. I see a lot of cool stuff in this collection and I’m very excited about it!

Sarah M Avatar

OMG. This has to be the worst packaging ever. I was really expecting MAC to make it so much more classier. The annoying thing is that there are a lot of products from the collection that I like but they will all look ugly in the casing. I think, for the 1st time ever, I’ll have to depot everything. 🙁

Tabitha Avatar

I agree with whomever said it is up to Disney to allow the use of their characters. There is probably only so much MAC can do in this case. The packaging isn’t too terrible, not what I had hoped, but whatever. That should not be anyone’s first reason for buying a good product or color. Saying that I would love to see a picture of heartless lipstick. That is the only thing really calling my name at the moment.

hellochristina Avatar

I wish they did Hades from Hercules, “Woah, did my hair go out?”. He’s the funniest villain ever! But I guess it wouldn’t go hahaha.

Oh well, I’ll pry get this stuff ‘cuz I’m a disney freak. Annual passes, woot!

Megan Avatar

Blah on the packaging. Why oh why did they chose dr. facilier??? I guess I’m old school Disney aka the 80s and early 90s Disney so I don’t even know who that is. He doesn’t seem to fit with the group even! Rather disappointing.

Roslynd Avatar

Ugh!!!!!! Why MAC? Why would you ruin such an amazing collection idea?!?? I am so upset with the garbage packaging and lack of any real new items. I can slap Disney stickers on my own products for about $1, same images too

Ugh! So disappointed 🙁

Vex Avatar

Personally, I feel that the disconnect comes mainly from the fact that you have three very striking female villains from classics released no later than the early sixties – and then one guy, from a movie released in 2009. I could be wrong – I haven’t seen the movie myself and am not familiar with the character – but it would seem that, as a character, he is not as much a part of, I guess, our collective culture, which means that you get the “Whaaa, who with the what is Dr. Facilier?” comments going on, on essentially all cosmetics forums I visit. You look at Cruella, and there’s the black and white hair, the plume of smoke. You look at the Evil Queen and you have very defined, arched brow and the inky lashes in contrast with the pallor, the almost femme-fatale brand of red lip. With Maleficent, you get that signature pale green with some spectacular purple shade – if I remember correctly, she’s even rocking red nail polish! Again, of course this is because I haven’t seen the movie, but you say “Dr. Facilier” and I get no mental image at all. While that is a selfish way of putting it, I think the same holds true for many MAC customers at this point – simply put, the movie has not been out long enough for it to be a culturally relevant point of reference.

Plus, there are so many female villains whom I would like to have seen! For instance, couldn’t you get some striking lavenders and pinks out of Madame Mim? Although I am glad that the poor “Alice in Wonderland” franchise isn’t being milked any further than Tim Burton has already seen to, the Queen of Hearts is certainly an interesting villain with an interesting brand of style: everything white must be red! The exclusion of Ursula seems to be the point of contention for many, and I can only agree. I can’t help but be a little bit disappointed in the focus of this collection – at least in part.

(Plus, I’m just saying, where are the funky lip colors? I know villains have made red lips kind of their trademark, but you know what’s awesome over red lips? Ice blue gloss! Poison green gloss! Straight-up wicked purple! If any time’s the time to be playing around with funky colors, surely it is the Venomous Villains collection? Not to mention, the eyes. A red eyeliner, a pure red shadow? I’d go for that! I’m getting so annoyed with every other collection being all pink and coral and peach and copper and maybemaybe navy and red if you’re lucky. Come now, this isn’t the Precious Princesses collection! It’s not that you can’t have the wearable colors, too, but with such a large collection, stirring the pot a little by adding some wild cards really wouldn’t hurt. The more I write about this – I’m sorry; this is an essay of a comment, and if you don’t want to approve it, I understand completely – the more disappointed I get. It’s the focus in part, and it’s the packaging and the art, but it’s also the general choices when it comes to shades. Haha – distressing, isn’t it, when something you’ve looked forward to quite a bit turns out to be quite the bummer instead?)

Caitlin Avatar

i know what you mean about the characters. i totally disagree w/ dr. falicifer. && i would have been so excited to see ursula! 🙂

cmferret Avatar

i gotta say i totally agree. when i saw the male in this collection- i was like who is that? who is dr. falicer? ive never even seen the movie. they could have done alot better and actually put another female disney character that we know of-queen of hearts, ursula!!!!

RR Avatar

I agree with you; even as someone younger, I don’t care for Dr. Facilier much. I can understand wanting to throw in a male villain, but even in that they had options- Jafar, Hades, and a whole litany of other male villains. Granted, a lot of them, like one of my favorite, Shan-Yu, aren’t too well known and loved. But that applies to Dr. Facilier as well, not too many people adore him. They kind of disrespected the classic villains a lot of hold dear.
And I’m also dissapointed with the colors. Everything seems very… Tame. It’s pretty depressing.

Adeets Avatar

So, I know that this packaging is pretty disappointing for the usually very artistic MAC designers, but we have to remember that MAC may not really be to blame for this. I am sure that Disney had a very controlling hand in the development of the packaging as well as a very tight rein on which characters were picked. Disney has always been very protective of their trademark rights and I can’t imagine they just let MAC have carte blanche for making this collection.

Personally, I am excited for this collection, regardless of the packaging.

Margarett Avatar

I think I have to buy the whole thing. I passed on Hello Kitty and Barbie but I love Disney Villians! The one thing I don’t think is a winner is Dr. Facillier. I know everyone is saying they should have used Ursula but even Captain Hook would have been better than Dr. Facillier.

Victoria Avatar

The products sound cool but the packaging is sooo cheap looking… I was expecting more creative/asthetically pleasing packaging!

Ariel Avatar

I can see why they’d release a villains collection right before Halloween…makes sense.
But what kind of sophisticated woman wants makeup with such ugly, gaudy packaging? I thought To the Beach packaging was fun but still classy, while this is just plain hideous.

Taunya Avatar

I think we may be all missing the point with the Dr. Facilier. Having characters of color is a first for Disney. It is a huge deal believe it or not. So although he is still new and not as well known, he is far more historic than any of the other villains. It would seem that MAC understood the social significance. I’m pleased to see the character. I love the Princess and the Frog and my teenaged, show choir neighbors are contantly singing the songs (along with my 23 month old daughter.) So it is q big deal. Maybe not for some, but I totally get it. In my opinion, Cruella could swap for Ursula. Cruella is more of a fashion villain to me.

SoSwanky Avatar

Like I said earlier, Dr. Facilier is important. I too am pleased to see him in the collection. They are still in the mode of promoting the movie itself as well. I think that they could have done much better with color choices for his part of the collection, as well as the other vilians. i was disappointed that Ursula was not included. the packaging leaves much to be desired, though.

Linda Avatar

I actually find the packaging to be a really big disappointment. And the only thing that really sounds appealing is Heartless. Boo 🙁

Sarah Avatar

Hello, Just wondering how long will it be until swatches , because I am really EXCITED 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 !!!

I WANT ALL OF IT LOL !!!!!!

Kathleen Avatar

I am such a Disney freak, I am aaaalllll over this. Yeah, the packaging is not as creative as it could be, but from the “leaked” pictures it looks like it’s screen printed and not just stickers. I like it a lot. It’s classic disney. I am going to need to save up SO much money. I don’t think I’ll get the whole collection because that would be a ridiculous amount of money, but I definitely have my eye on some things. I need to see the collection pics and hopefully some Temptalia swatches before I decide. BTW is that the packaging for the beauty powders or is it for the decorative mirrors or what?

cmferret Avatar

gosh i hope they put atleast a mac logo on these-bc or else it just looks like some cheap plastic kiddy stuff u find at the disney store-i hope they change this packaging really bad! keep the pic but just edge them out a bit with a sig mac sign. i love the disney theme though.

Tori Avatar

well, some of it sounds good to me. i’ll definitely have to buy something from the queen and maleficent, just because it’s them! i’d at least buy the compact mirror 🙂 i was really hoping if they planned to use a guy that it would be jafar. they could have added some really great “arabian” kind of colors to the entire scheme if they put him in. lots or corals for blushes and bright eyeshadows would have went well with him. i was really hoping for all classic characters so i probably won’t buy from dr facilier’s section at all. does anyone else think it would have been neat if MAC did a villian vs. princess kind of line? i think it would have been great for eyeshadow duos and made fantastic packaging!

Caitlin Avatar

I’m super excited for the nail laquers. But what does it mean if the polish is “teal w/ pink pigment” or “purple w/ teal pigment” does that mean it is duocrome or what?
I’m also excited for the “bite of an apple” blush. 🙂
Also, when can we expect swacthes?

Cheyenne Avatar

I am loving some a lot of the colors I’m hearing. I just hope they are not all dark and unwearable for my skin tone. Ummm comment though, packaging is always something I love love love, but I HATE HATE HATE this packaging. Soooo tacky and childish.

sam Avatar

:$ the black plastic looks so cheap! i don’t mind the graphics just ew, it looks like i’m paying less than 2 cents for packaging.

and these shades seem so random. they’re not awful, just how evil is pink and coral, really? i think more of cinderella and sleeping beauty as opposed to the evil queen. WHERE ARE THE REDS?! if mac released a blush like nars’s exhibit a for this collection, that’d be epic!

Judy Avatar

You know. Whoever just mentioned that a grey or blueish lipstick color would be perfect is right. Years ago, Avon (can you believe it!?!) had a beautiful grey colored lippie and I missed out on it. My friend bought it and it looked amazing on her. I do like the Heartless & Dark Deed lipstick colors. Both seem awesome! I also think that MAC/Disney could have come out with another purpley lipstick in an amplified finished. Oh well. What can we do?

Janika Avatar

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!! IM REALLY EXCITED!! I HOPE IT REALLY LAUNCHES ON OCTOBER HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES, HOPEFULLY THERE ARE NO DELAYS! 😀

Jennifer Avatar

OMG PRICES ARE UP:(!! OMG I HAVE TO BE IN THE STATES FOR THIS! here in canada BIG RIP OFF:'(!! omggg 🙁 need more hrs at work to afford this lollll

Haley Avatar

I am so sad about this collection… I LOVE disney!! And I was super excited about this, but the packaging is so boring… its got some purples in the collection that makes me happy. But there is nothing really super unique… not that I can tell yet at least.

Kate Avatar

whats that amazing looking purple glittery thing? i think it might be a mineralize eyeshadow but i cant really tell from the description

Olivia Avatar

yes, very, very, VERY tacky. i couldn’t imagine pulling a lipgloss out of my purse looking like THAT in front of a guy lmfao.. childish.

Alma Avatar

I actually am quite surprised with this, I like it more than I thought I would. Okay, the chosen characters are not great and neither is the packaging, but I do really like some of the products..

Isabelle Avatar

I think the only thing that I feel I MUST have from this is the two mineralized shadows from the Maleficent lines. And where is Ursula in this? She was my favorite villain after Maleficent! I also want to see swatches of the “Bite of an Apple” blush for the Evil Queen before I decide. I was also hoping for some near-black polishes =/

I think the packaging for this collection is lame, however I’m super stoked Heartless lipstick and some of the blushes, I think they will be gorg. And I want to see this “special” compact mirror.

Emily Avatar

Ugh. I love the idea of a villan-themed collection this fall, but MAC really disappointed mewith the tacky-looking packaging. I’ll save my money for Fabulous Felines.

Nicole Avatar

I understand the theme, but the packaging is quite childish.

That said, the mineralize eyeshadows look kinda cool! And I always love duochrome, complex nail polish colors! I’ll check out the nail polish swatches, but right now I think I will probably skip this collection to save money for Italy shopping! 😀

Diane Avatar

Kind of a big yawn. I feel like this collection is just to have a collection with an exciting grab of “Disney”. They could have put alittle more into the actual product details.

Katie Avatar

The prices have definitely gone up but I DON’T care! I’m loving this collection! I need both beauty powders, the blush, and definitely the Toxic Tale lipstick. I pretty much like everything… what shame I can’t have it all! Oh… I’m so naughty!

Rissy Avatar

I agree that the packaging is very happy-meal-esque and is quite disappointing. Haha the good thing about that is… no more cute packaging bias… *cough* like to the beach *cough* I will only buy for the product… and probably depot the shadows and blushes.

Dee Avatar

What is magically cool liquid powder? The blushes and beauty powders seem pretty, and some lipglasses, and I’m also liking De-Vil Eyeshadow. The packaging is just so tacky, though!

Kelly Avatar

Just had a make-upgasm. I can already tell that I’m going to buy My Dark Magic and Mean & Green Purple, and probably more once more pics come out and I see your swatches. This is the collection I’ve been saving up for!!

dolce aria Avatar

I’ll reserve final judgment to see this in person, but so far I’m not thrilled. There doesn’t seem to be anything extraordinary about the colors, and the packaging doesn’t grab me right off. It’s a neat concept for a collection, though. I think I’ll probably be far more excited to splurge on the Dare to Wear collection.

Yumi Avatar

Hmm, packaging-wise, the only one that appeals to me is Maleficent. Cruella De Vil is ok but the others are kinda yuck. =x I’ll have to see more to decide if I want anything from this collection though. Thanks for the info!

JD Avatar

Not sure if I’ve said this before, but I’m so disappointed with the packaging! It strikes me as suuuuper tacky. I think it would have better if they did something with the sketches of the characters that we saw in the sneak peak video. I am a sucker for Disney villains and dressed
as Cruella a couple times for Halloween so I was so excited. I will probably buy some stuff once I see it, but not for the sake of novelty.

IZzySA Avatar

Christine.. I don’t know why I cannot access the pages anymore.. after the changes made, my computer freezes up.. what do I do?

Kalee Avatar

despite the price and formula of mac nail polishes, they sound (and from the picture it looks) friggin awesome but im glad im actually not interested in the rest of the collection. yay for my wallet!

Hannah Avatar

A few of the products sound like they could be nice, but I’m not going to buy any of the lipsticks or lipglasses, no matter how gorgeous the color, because I do not want to reapply in public with such tacky and childish looking packaging! That may be a silly reason not to get them, but I know I’d have to reapply lip products and doing so would make me self conscious….

Victoria N. Avatar

Love this collection, however the packaging seems rather elementary to me, I feel MAC could have done a far better job considering the theme of the collection.

Taylor Avatar

I’m really excited! The nail polishes look amazing, and I love that dark plum lipgloss. I wasn’t too impressed with the initial pictures but now that I see the actual products I’m loving it.

Maricar Avatar

Wow! Did the prices go up? Is it just for this collection, or is this a permanent raise in price?

I am not so happy with the packaging, I think that MAC could’ve done a lot better of a job.. Oh well… can’t wait to see the packaging for fabulous felines 🙂

KC Avatar

$15.50 for an eyeshadow! That’s nearly $50 my currency when you add in duties and taxes. It doesn’t help that I want all three eyeshadows from the Evil Queen, the two lipsticks and the lipglass Wrong Spell from Maleficient. Devilishly Stylish lipglass, and all the eyeshadows except carbon from Cruella. Le sigh…..

P.S. Since MAC is deciding to keep this tacky looking packaging, I would really have prefered they keep the regular packaging if it went to a vote.

Claire Avatar

I love the colors but I hate the packaging. It seems a little cheap to me and looks like its a Disney makeup toy that you get in those sets with the plastic purses, etc. The packaging is a huge disappointment but I might buy a couple of items.

cait Avatar

From the pictures, would you say that Heartless is close to a true red? Having a warmer skin tone makes it hard for me to find ‘true reds’ most are too blue toned.

Emma Avatar

I don’t understand why everyone seems disappointed by the packaging and collection in general. I love the concept and I think MAC really picked great products and colors to match the theme. As for the packaging, they’re collaborating with Disney on tried-and-true trademarked characters. I doubt there was a lot of room for creative licensing on that one. Even though it’s just “a sticker on packaging,” I think it’s cool and I can’t wait to own the whole collection!!….(although I will say that I wish MAC had changed the container’s colors, like from black to maybe a red…I’d have loved to see that on one of the last major collections of the year.)

Jakara Avatar

The packaging still does not wow me. It’s just blah. Especially the eyeshadow packaging. It looks just like a sticker is placed in the center. Rock and Republic packaging looks whole lot better than Mac’s regular packaging. Mac has been disappointing me lately.

Ani_BEE Avatar

The only thing I’m finding interesting is the Nail Lacquer shades. ^_^ The packaging is no not right for a makeup line. bring back the sketches from the teaser and I would be happy.

cmferret Avatar

ohh i am so all over that purple nailpolish and the purple mineralized e/s!the only gripe i have w/ this collection , is i wish that they would put their mac logo on the products , so we know that its not come crappy makeup from the disney store! am i right ladies?
i love mac and i love disney-but they couldve made it cooler-i hope they change it

Milly Avatar

YAY Cruella! 101 Dalmatians is my favourite Disney Movie of all time. Wheres Ursula though?! Got my eye on a few things including Heartless Lipstick and maybe Bite of an Apple blush so long as its not too similar to Hipness. The Nail Lacquers also look interesting.

However overall, this collection is disappointing to me. They could have gone super creative with this collection with regard to the packaging and the product range. Most of it is just blah. Such a waste of an opportunity on M.A.C’s part, this could have been a total sellout collection had it been done better.

Also, who is Dr Facilier?! I read a comment saying it is this first Disney character of color…but are they forgetting Aladdin? The characters from that movie were Arabian…?

These products and the packaging are so not worth what M.A.C is charging for them. Prices are getting ridiculous if you ask me!

Rosie Avatar

OMG, I want the mineralized eye shadow now. I don’t really like the mineralized stuff but it looks so pretty and swirly and OMG I love Disney villains and don’t care if this looks “infantile” and “childlike” because the kids I work with will so appreciate Disney makeup just like they appreciate my Hello Kitty makeup :p!

MrsFields Avatar

I actually really like the pictures on the collection. Ive always been a huge disney fan and I love seeing Disney characters in their classic nature on the packaging. However, does anyone know what liquid powder is supposed to be?

Elyse Avatar

Push the edge Pigment Ill deff be getting.

the blush in the 2nd picture looks pretty. Im guessing thats bite of an apple.

the packaging is catchy but some of the descriptions are not. I guess I will have to see them for myself!

Karla Avatar

I am soo excited & I love the packaging as well!! can`t wait & will grab all that i want b4 it sells out. I found out from a friend that also Nordstrom will be having Lady Gaga lipglosses as an exclusive, <3 <3 Mac rocks my sox, ily Mac!!

Azaza Avatar

Urgh what crappy packaging. I’m excited to see the actual swatches though since I am still quite new to collection MAC stuff

I still cant get over the epic fail for this great sounding collection. I mean come one these are Disney villains for goodness sake

claudia Avatar

The packaging is just okay. I would have preferred something a bit more artsy to signify the villains, not just slap a picture of the villain on the package. More like an essence of villains…like the spindle that sleeping beauty pricked her finger on, or the queen’s crow, or the magic mirror, the poison apple, or someone’s signature hat or accessory. That way it doesn’t look like i went to disneyland and got a kiddie lipgloss from the gift shop.

Pearl Avatar

The eyeshadows are pretty interesting but I don’t like the packaging. Looks more like a childish cosmetic collection. It would have been a lot better if they have used the monotone sketch appeared in the promo pics instead.

Tahereh Avatar

I have to say I’m in love with the concept but like from what everyone says, the packaging is just not doing it for me. It’s so lack luster and poorly done like the Emanuel Ungaro collection. Very disappointing in the that aspect.

emily Avatar

ooooh the pigment looks great and so does the pink eyeshadow with the shine/glitter.

this collection is going to be fantastic for glamour makeup!! wooo hooo

julie Avatar

I’m in love with the Malificent shadows. In love.
They work so well with the packaging. I love the way it shimmers behind the picture. SO beautiful. A must have for me.
And the mirror.
Possibly one pink lip product. But that’s all though. Don’t need much more than that.

Beto Kylie Avatar

At first I thought the packaging was lame, but now I see some, if not all, is actual art taken straight from the film!!! The drawing of the Evil Queen is a dead give-away for me, as I recgonize it from when she’s spying on Snow White when the Prince meets her.
I’m wanting so many things, especially from Maleficent!!! I have a feeling that seeing the products in person, I’ll want so much more!!!

I think the products chosen for Dr. Facilier are with men in mind, not just to have a male character in the collection. Whoever mentioned Hades, that’s a great idea! I would’ve loved to see blues, too. Scar would have been a pretty cool villain – I picture earth tones, deep black, vibrant warm colors, and bright green or yellow!!!

I really want the “Briar Rose” Beauty Powder, not only does the color work for me, but it has the name of my favorite Princess!!!!

They should come up with a Disney Princess collection next year!!!

Natalie Avatar

I think the majority of my purchases will be from Maleficent. The mineralized eyeshadows look great! so does the nail laquers. Considering Bite of an Apple from the descriptions and Heartless. The packaging is a bit wack. Would of thought Disney would of come up with something better. I imagined the packaging to be all sparkley or something. As for Dr. Facilier, what?

sf Avatar

I am also disappointed with the packaging.I know this is the evil side of Disney…but black packaging???It reminds me of fafi!Aside from that the magically cool liquid powder sounds intriguing and I like the fact that the collection has everything from mes to pigments. The purple mineral e/s in the pic looks sooo gorgeous

Marisol Avatar

I believe MAC had nothing to do with the packaging. That was probably Disney’s idea or chose. Stop complaining. You all sound childish just like the packaging does in your opinion. There is nothing that can be done so you either buy the stuff for the good colors or just forget about it. Just stop the complaining already!!!!!

sharan Avatar

kinda looks like a let down, would expect more from mac, esp for a collection like this. Dont really wanna look like im using smethg from the disney store, you know? it the pictures were more artistic they would hav been better, esp since these are the villans, so the more crazy the better right? plus i was hoping for more dramatic colours… *le sigh*

Victoria Avatar

Eh, seriously? Cartoon stuff again?
The products seems really nice. I am really attracted to the red gloss in the first picture and the greasepaint sticks (great experience from the Art Supplies collection). But the packaging really puts me off.
The design could have been done nicer.

Jen Avatar

most likely will be getting the beauty powder and blush from the evil queen. the eyeshadows sound nice, but will have to see them in person (or swatched) first. definitely getting a backup slick black greasepaint stick. i’m also interested in seeing the magically cool liquid powder, and maybe the nail polishes. i don’t really care for the packaging either way.

Steph Avatar

Poor Collection. Looks THROWN TOGETHER. You can tell MAC execs are like “ugh oh well, gotta work with what we got” . this is gonna be one of those, gotta see swatches to know IF im getting anything but the “collector” in me is like just get the Malificent stuff.

Christy Avatar

Evil Queen Toxic Tale l/s looks devilishly delightful 😀 I wish they did the packaging more like their abstract villains as opposed to the literal villains though :/

dayna Avatar

reallyyyy dont like the packaging :[[[[. they should/could of done SOOOO much better. it looks bad, like they made them up really quickly. disappointing… but i’m DEFINITELY going to pick some things up :]]

macloli Avatar

The packaging is almost always decided because of who they are collaborating with. I don’t think they’re stickers; it’s printed on this time. The makeup colors were chosen using the actual “pantone chips” that were used to create the original disney villian characters. I thought it was awesome of disney to do that.

leanne Avatar

That packaging is just hideous – too bad because a couple of the products look promising – especially the nail polishes – but ive been collecting MAC for 3 years now and this has to be the WORST packaging YET – even worse than dame edna stickers! 🙁

Lauren Avatar

This looks really cheesy. I’m disappointed. And also, I thought they would have included Ursula as she wore a ton of makeup and was an awesome villain. And I understand they wanted to include Facilier to add diversity but I just don’t think it makes sense; he isn’t one of those classic Disney villains yet as the movie he was in just came out.

Wendy R. Avatar

The official launch date for the U.S. is September 30!It was confirm in the newest issue of Allure magazine. I’m so excited because that is on my birthday 🙂

Shana Avatar

I don’t know why people are making negative comments about this packaging for this collection. The packaging is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! The pictures portray the REAL disney villains, and MAC is AMAZING!! I can’t wait till this collection comes out, I already wrote down what I want and it’s over $300, awe, better start saving now!! Mac rocks!!!!

Shana Avatar

I think the packaging looks AMAZING!!! I already made a list of what I want, and it is going to be over $300,awe!!! I am starting to save up now for it. By the way, I don’t understand the negative comments about this packaging, it’s not like Mac charges extra for customers to pay for the packaging, and its not up to Mac anyway, it’s up to Disney to come up with the design. I have a room full of Mac stuff, and I can’t wait till this collection comes out to add t my stash!! Mac is AWESOME!!

Jae Avatar

This gets me so excited for my honeymoon to Universal Stuios/Disney World in October for the Halloween events (squee for trick or treating in the Magic Kingdom)!! My only concern is that some of these I might be able to find as dupes elsewhere. But we won’t know that till release.

I want (subject to change)…

Lipglass: ($60)
Wicked Ways – Light nude with gold pearl (Limited Edition)
Devilishly Stylish – Deep fuchsia with pink pearl (Limited Edition)
Hot House – Deep raspberry with pink pearl (Limited Edition)
Revenge is Sweet – Light yellow purple (Limited Edition)

Beauty Powder: ($50)
Oh So Fair – Mid-tone pink with gold pearl (Limited Edition)
Briar Rose – Soft violet pink with pearl (Limited Edition)

Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo: ($42)
My Dark Magic – Deep pink with pink pearl / Deep plum with purple pearl (Limited Edition)
She Who Dares – Deep navy with blue pearl / Deep forest green with lime pearl (Limited Edition)

Ouch. $152 for 8 products. Roughly $19 each. *wince* I sure hope some of these can be found duped in other brands of lesser price.

Lizzy Avatar

Just cut down your list sweety. I’ve been trying to dupe MAC for years- and the only way is Urban Decay, who rips off MAC es colors and charges more! And they don’t do Beauty Powders or Mineralize.

NYX has a few contenders at a good price, but the quality is not always the same. That’s why we buy MAC.

The very best solution I’ve seen? While biting the bit waiting for Hello Kitty my 8 year old niece thoughtfully put Badtz Maru stickers on all my Dazzleglasses. My best colors in Really Special Packaging! Since nobody thought much of real Evil Girl coloring (NC15, ash brunette/ silver hair) in the choices here I may do my own Lucretia Borgia Collection…

Jae Avatar

Now that I’ve seen more photos, my list will be cut down dramatically to 2 lipglasses and 2 of the duos. Those are prices I can deal with a lot better.

…hmm, stickers on plain makeup containers.

Claire Avatar

loving this collection only down side is the packaging its horrible ugh can anyone please tell me what date is this coming to america in september

Lizzy Avatar

The stuff I really want isn’t even in special packaging! Piggies and nail colors are great but no Meanies on the front?

I wish there was Sea Witch. I thought she was great! But most of this is Ho Hum stuff, I mean there isn’t a red lipstick I want here! Villians and no great reds? Will we ever see Queen’s Sin again? And I’ve been wearing Violetta all summer as it’s been Happening! By Fall I want a New Thing, and with my coloring coral isn’t it.

Oh well. Boring packaging anyway.

Christine Avatar

I’m so Not into this packaging. I wish MAC would’ve done a Disney Princesses themed collection or something cute and pretty instead. I will skip this collection just because of the packaging alone.

Shannon Avatar

Well at least we can still get the nail polishes without shame. I hope I’m wrong though. But I do have two questions I’m sure someone will know… what exactly is a beauty powder for? And does anyone know what this magically cool liquid powder business is all about? Sounds interesting and I’ve never seen this before!

m0rg3nst3rn Avatar

I work for a big company that works with Disney and many other companies and know for a fact that you have to use only what Disney gives you. As with most companies, they own the rights to the images and they have a say in what you can and can not use, s the imagery on the packaging is definitely not MAC’s fault. At work we have to push and beg the brand for images sometimes, it’s really sad.

Anyhow. I will wait to see some of these when the swatches come out or I can touch and see them in person, there are only a few that I see myself getting so far.

Verity Avatar

Who cares if its a sticker? Its a cool sticker!! And its still far better than the normal dull packaging. Its not like they hike the prices up for special packaging so I don’t really get why everyone’s complaining TBH.

Jazmine Avatar

The only things I’m looking forward too are the beauty powders. Nothing else really interests me other than the “magically cool liquid powder”. Whatever that is? o_O

Olivia Avatar

I think the package is good, it’s nice to see a bit of change from MACS black packaging! Does anyone know if.we will get our Pro Discount?

Michelle Avatar

No. Because its not MAC’s black packaging, the texture is different and it is still limited edition packaging, I dont think Disney would allow that anywyas lol cuz they are already increasing prices

Katrin Avatar

I AM SO EXCITED. This is my very first LE packaging collection from MAC and I’m loving it all except…. The DR. FACILIER part.!! I didn’t like the movie and I don’t like the collection! The only thing I want from there is RESORT LIFE!! 🙂 But thats a re promote so it doesn’t count! 🙂 my basket is at around 330$ so no more MAC for me until maybe the Wonder Woman collection in 2011 but maybe MAC wil come out with something interesting till then!:)

SunlitCactus Avatar

I am really annoyed that they raised their eyeshadow prices. MAC has such a loyal customer base and it doesn’t feel like they do much to reward and show appreciation for their customers. I have long bee a loyal MAC devotee, but between the constant new collections, limited addition products that there never seem to be quite enough to go around of, and now yet another price increase, I’m starting to wonder if my devotion is bordering on silly/irresponsible. I love MAC, but this just really bothered me!
*SC*

ari Avatar

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lipstick and the matte blushes ! And I’m looking forward to seeing if the nailpolishes apply how they look in the bottle cause if they do I’m all over it 🙂

Victoria N. Avatar

AHHHHHHHHHHHH I cant get over how much this packaging sucks! It llokslike MAC applied Disney stickers on the black packaging and called it good, it has such potential

Pearl Avatar

Not happy with the packaging. MAC could have done better but the products themselves in this collection look interesting enough. Might get some eye shadows and lipsticks. Would like to see some Disney villain inspired looks though.

cmferret Avatar

thanx for posting a sneak peek at this collection christine! i cant wait- i am going to get everything, minus some repromotes. i still hate the packaging and wish mac put their own spin on it-like the cool illistrations in the promo pics. but oh well , i love mac and i love disney.
since when are mac e/s, l/s and l/g all 15$ now? i hope its just for this collection, since its le special packaging and not the standard from their on. but damn , wth! dont they know we are in a recession too!

cmferret Avatar

im still kinda urked that they choose dr. falicer , as the last character and not choosen ursula! i mean u already have 3 girls, why not add 1 more we all know , instead of a guy we arent familier with.
im most looking forward to trying is the mineralized e/s, the nailpolishes and magic cool liquid powder-that sopunds interesting!

Mia Avatar

Say what you like about this collection being disappointing, but I think that the nail polishes look absolutely amazing. I just hope that the duochrome shows up on the nail.

Nicole Avatar

man, the prices are so expensive now. not even that huge of a fan of the packaging. probably a pass for me. but gotta love it right?

Kathryn Avatar

Ugh, I hate the packaging. Totally not what I was expecting. Though, the Magically Cool Liquid Powder sounds interesting. And all the nail lacquers sound awesommmme!

Jessie Avatar

I’m totally getting a the Mineralize E/S….they look similar to the Style black MES. Im not crazy about the packaging though 🙁 its not bad, but it could be better-

Cheyenne Avatar

I love ALL those eyeshadows, but once I see the packaging I feel ‘disgusted.’ Idk….the whole packaging turns me away from this line!! BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE these eyesshadows. I need to learn how to depot and real soon!

Brittany Avatar

I have never been so excited for a collection like I was about this one but then I saw the packaging… SOOO DISSAPOINTING! & nothing really stands out to me at all I doubt I will be getting anything..

GinaB Avatar

I think that the sketchy designs that are in the background in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th picture would have made really cool packaging. i’m loving the “de-vil” eyeshadow. What a gorgeous copper!

Kathylulu Avatar

Some of those are tacky while some of them ain’t, they’re hit and misses I think. Overall very disappointing though, I’m glad to safe some money.

Maria G. Avatar

-_-‘ Honestly, who would want any sort of makeup with Dr. Facilier’s face on it. Its just not really attractive whatsoever. Like others have brought up, couldn’t they have done Ursula or something instead of him. Shame. But I have to say, Im more than excited for Oh So Fair & Briar Rose Beauty Powder 😀 Mainly for the packaging lol.
And Bite of an Apple Blush sounds wonderful. Better save up now 🙂

Shaye Avatar

Is it just me… or does Briar Rose have the EXACT same description as SUMMER Rose from Rose Romance/Liberty of London?

I hope it isn’t the same in person… because I want my Maleficent beauty powder, she’s my favorite Disney character of all time! But I can’t justify buying it if it’s just like something I already have….

Azaza Avatar

Wow, those are so pretty. I cant wait for the swatches. Amazingly enough I only want about five to six items in this collection although seeing the swatches might change that

RR Avatar

I’m not too excited about the packaging, but I’ll still be buying this. Another thing that doesn’t thrill me is the inclusion of Dr. Facilier; he’s a pretty cool character and I suppose the only one technically of my generation, but he’s not exactly a classic. Choosing someone like Hades or Jafar, I think most would have been more excited. I can see Disney trying to push their latest movie because it’s recent, but I don’t think it’s going to attract many younger buyers. I know that for myself, and my friends who are into MAC, Hades or Jafar would have excited us far more.

Rosie Avatar

Wow, I don’t care what people say, this collection is beautiful. I love that they kept the original Disney villians on the packaging and didn’t try to make it all artsy.

Amy Avatar

I’m secretly hoping that I don’t fall in love with anything from this collection after swatching it… because it will be ever so painful if I find myself having to purchase anything in this packaging. It makes it look like the sort of make-up I played with as a little girl and I doubt I’d ever be comfortable pulling any of these pieces out of my purse in public 😛

Martine Avatar

This is a huge let down. The packaging is pure ‘toyrs R us’. Some nice shades but awful, tacky cheap packaging. I would be embarrased to get this out of my handbag in public.

Ally_D Avatar

I still think this looks like childs makeup so I won’t be buying anything. This is one occasion where the packaging has totally put me off. Who wants to get out a cartoon character lipstick in a bar???

Rebecca Avatar

oh my gosh! i’m so excited. i’m already saving money for this collection. i think i’ll skip nail trend and maybe prolongwear. felines is also not that attractive for me.

This collection doesn’t extremely fascinate me.
Yes it is a fall collection, but some of these colors are just so dark and im a very light skinned girl, i might look a little clownish.

Tonya Avatar

Cartoon characters? Really? I thought hello kitty was ok but this is too much for me. Love the nail lacquers though. I’ll pass.

Vanessa Avatar

I wish Disney would have given them the rights to use some pencil sketches of the characters. That would have been soooooo much prettier.

Shal Avatar

Hmmm I’m not a fan of the packaging, looks like something I’d get from ToysRUs for my little cousin who’s 8… HOWEVER, I really want Strange Potion, Hot House Deep and Bite of an Apple.

Kiele Avatar

The products look amazing!!!! Not thrilled w/the packaging, but I can deal with it.
Hoping that the Tartan Tale has plaid packaging. I was disappointed to find out the Feline collection doesn’t have paw prints or kitties on it. I know it’s probably very expensive, but it would be a nice treat for their loyal customers.

Penemuel Avatar

I really, really need all three of those nail polishes, and I want the Maleficent eyeshadows even though I don’t even wear any! *facepalm* She’s my fave Disney villain of all time, and the colours are pretty…

SusyLovesMac Avatar

Hi Christine, How come the U.S. prices are higher now..did they go up?? Example e/s is showing $15.50 instead of $14.50?? L/g $15.00 instead of $14.00???

Maricar Avatar

Hey Christine, Thanks for the updated photos 🙂
do you have any more information on if other collection in the fall will be having the price raise also?

Debbie Avatar

I think i’ll save my money. nothing looks interesting. i really dont care about packaging much. but the colors dont even catch my eye. maybe 3 things. they should of done the disney princesses

Lola Avatar

I’m not crazy about this collection, I don’t want to look like a villain! I’m sure if they came out with a princess collection, I’d purchase 🙂
But I must say, I will definitely be buying those multi-color nail lacquers! How goregous!

Melody Avatar

aww I wish they had made the mirror better…I was really hoping that would be a winner. Ah well…the Cruella de vil beauty powder looks very promising…

Vanessa Avatar

I might go to the counter to peruse the products…but I probably won’t get anything from MAC anymore, except for the PRO pan refills from then on. The price hike is way too high.

nicole Avatar

is it just me or did the canadian prices go up?!? seriously? OH NO! coz i’m pretty sure, the lipsticks in canadian dollars is only suppose to be $16.50 each, not $18.00. . . oh god, please let that be a typo . HAHA

Jen Avatar

I love Maleficent and Dr. Facilier, but will probably only get a few things from the collection. Definitely the Maleficent eyeshadows and the Facilier mirror, but otherwise I’m not dazzled by the rest of it. I like the idea, but MAC’s up to their old “midtone, coral pink” tricks again, and that got boring like 5 years ago.

Annamaria Avatar

terrible packaging for the subject..come on mac…too many collections, but not so many good ideas.
I want the artistry back!

Caitlin Avatar

I actually like the packaging. I have never bought MAC before but I maybe will get something. The only thing about the packaging I don’t like is the eyeshadow could have gone a little bit more extravagant!

53 Avatar

Hi, I feel that they could not put Ursula in because there was already a lot of purples and reds from the other villains. So perhaps between The Evil Queen and Ursula, they picked the Queen to represent the purples and red lips. Then again, between Maleficent and Ursula, the vote went to Maleficent…..

Julie Avatar

I’m not really sure what to think of this collection lol. I’m not a big Disney fan and if the colors are unique enough I may pick a couple items up. Yes indeed they have raised the prices (again). I was okay paying 16.50CAN for a lipstick but 18CAN? I’ve been trying to stock up on as many products as I can until then lol!

Ana Avatar

This is the real deal. These pictures are not fake. For those of you who asked, the magically cool powder is not really a powder although it looks like it in the jar it instantly turns into a pastey liquid when applied. It also gives a very nice cooling sensation hence the name.

Kerstan Avatar

I am super excited – the colors look amazing – and that is why you buy the makeup. I love Disney and Mac so I am more excited about this then the Hello Kitty – I thought that line was more about the packaging then the product inside it – this is more about the product – I will be getting a lot of this line!!!

savandy Avatar

in LOVE with this collection, cant wait til it comes out. Saving up for it already, definitely buying everything in the maleficent. 🙂

Itsallaboutmeee Avatar

I think the packing is absolutely adorable, and not at all tacky. It’s a Disney collaboration, of course it’s going to look child like.

MAC + Disney = genious! I can’t wait! My only complaint is: why in the world did they decide to use Dr. Facilier??? So not sexy or glamorous.

I like the way the evil queen blush looks in the picture where they are all lumped together. I think it’s called bite of an apple. But then when it shows the blush in her collection further down it looks WAY brighter, and bam….ugh. I would like it if it really were the light pink. I wonder if they messed up, I can’t believe the lighting woudl be that off!

OK SO MOST OF U THINK THAT THE VISUALS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER…..PLEASE ITS DISNEY…..AND DO U HAVE ANY BRIGHT IDEAS???? IF SO GET ON BORED WITH THE COMPANY……HOWEVER, I USE THE MAGICALLY COOL LIQUID POWDER (ALL I CAN SAY IS WOWWWW) ITS FABULOUS, GOES ON LIKE COOL SILK, ITS VERY LIGHT WEIGHT AND THE COVERAGE IS DURABLLE 2 A MEDIUM BUILD….UR GONNA LOVE IT PEOPLE…TTYL STYLES!!!!

Christine do you know if the Malificent Briar Rose Beauty Powder is the same as Liberty of London’s Summer Rose Beauty Powder?
The color description is the same and the colors look similar.

Plain ol’ cheesy! Just MAC with cartoon stickers on it- I wouldn’t really call this special packaging, just MAC with pictures on it. Maleficent is the only one who holds up at all.

As for product- is there really anything here you don’t already have? I couldn’t get any Push the Edge pigment last fall when it came out so that’ll be it. Everything else dupes or is close to everyday MAC.

Fabulous Felines is the place to get your fall look. This is just kind of catering to knee jerk child hood memories. At least HK was a color story that pushed you and a background story about sexual awakening. A little outrage makes for Fashion! This is just lame.

DUDDDEEE Maleficent collection FTMFW!
Everything else, meh.
And I am sad about the packaging. But Maleficent YAY! Those polishes, be still my heart.

Angel Avatar

honestly.. i didn’t even know who dr. facilier was -.- but that lipgelee looks pretty lol. i just wish i got it when it was first released so that he wouldn’t be on it haha. and i am sooo getting a cruella lipstick ;D

Heather Avatar

umm do we even honestly know if thats the actual real packaging or if its just something mac put out for some reason??? if you dont like the packaging just depot it… easy as that. im checking out the malificant collection either way 🙂

Matt Avatar

BLAH! not a fan, i think MAC keeps trying to do what Hello Kitty did. Hello Kitty exploded and reached a huge range of customers, this is for kids or adults who still wear winnie the pooh sweatshirts. hope it does well for MAC’s sake. i wont be in line to buy it.

Dylan Avatar

Really?? I was hoping for something more sexy…. not cartoon-like. Heck it’s not even cartoon-like, it’s straight up cartoon. Honestly, the packaging looks like something a 5 year old would enjoy, I was thinking something along the lines of poison ivy, mystique, Phoenix, Lady Deathstrike, elektra, catwoman, black widow etc etc. I am really disappointed in this collection, and MIGHT buy the nail lacquers, thats it.

I love most of the stuff for this release. I do wish MAC would stop re-releasing existing colors. The packaging it cute but there is so much ado here about bad packaging when it’s just makeup. I’m sure they are limited with what Disney will allow them to do. Plus MAC comes out with new collections so often that it doesn’t really matter. Besides if you’re a collector they’re still fun.

October 15-17 MAC at Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco, California will be having the biggest event for the Venomous Villains collection in the U.S. There will be amazing animations, models, djs and will give you a great chance to get your make up done!

aww the products look great, but the packaging looks like its play makeup for a 5 year old 🙁
they coulda done better for the packaging but still, im excited for the collection

Becca Avatar

EW. the packing is embarrassing!! WHY would anyone over the age of ten get this? I’ll probably only get the eyeshadows, so I can depot them, and a pigment. Too bad, I really like the color of the mineralized shadows.

MAC out did itself. The magically cooling powder is amazing. I love how it freshens your face. Violetta is awesome. It looks great with hot house and revenge is sweet. Briar rose is stunning. Wicked ways and heartless make a great team. By far this is MAC’s best. Second to no other line

Hi, I need anyones opinion or suggestions. This is my first time ordering online and i went on lastnight and made my order, everything was still available and i processed it got the confirmation email and order #. Then i called the mac customer service to make sure they got everything and then she tells me that they ARE SOLD OUT OF WHAT I ALREADY ORDERED!!!!! So i couldnt get it!!!!! Can someone please help me of fill me in. Does this happen regularily????

Roz Avatar

I hate when MAC puts children’s characters on the packaging. The colors in this collection are gorgeous. The names are fab. Isnt that enough that this was inspired by the villians? They dont have to put the pics of them on it. That makes me not want any of it. Just like Hello Kitty and a few others in the past. I do not want that packaging in my purse or displayed on my vanity. I take my MAC very seriously.

Shasta Avatar

I’m actually loving this collection. I wasn’t sure about it until I actually went and saw it in store. The packaging isn’t my favorite, but the colors are AWESOME! I’m really ready to tear into She Who Dares and My Dark Magic. Also, tonight I’ll be painting my toenails in Bad Fairy.

I heard that MAC will be coming out with a Disney Princess collection in March as a sequel for the villains collection. Is this true? I really want to know so I can save up for it and buy a lot of the products!

I have all the products from this collection as i collect most mac products and i love the packaging and the pigments its all brilliant i also love the colours to all of them (:

I realize that this collection came out a year ago, and I’ve already picked some stuff up and everything, but y’all are so rude! It’s Disney, it’s SUPPOSED to be for kids. It’s supposed to look cheap, no 5 year old has a diamond encrusted anything. Y’all expected soooo much from this, but it’s Disney. You can’t make a cartoon look like Chanel. Gtfo
