MAC Venomous Villains: Maleficent Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Disney Venomous Villains Collection: Maleficent Review, Photos, Swatches
As we continue on, we move to Maleficent‘s (from Sleepy Beauty) “collection,” which includes two mineralize eyeshadow duos, two lipsticks, two lipglasses, one beauty powder, and three nail lacquers.
All of the character images are stamped on the products; they are not stickers. You can find official promotional imagery and color descriptions here. The collection launches on September 30th, 2010 at all MAC locations, October 2010 internationally, and approximately September 28th for online. You may also want to check your local store to see if they are holding an unveiling/preview party for the collection.
Lipglass ($15.50 U.S. / $18.50 CDN)
- Revenge is Sweet is a sheer, jelly-ish medium pink with fuchsia micro-shimmer. It has a very wet look to it but seems to settle into lip lines.
- Wrong Spell is a semi-sheer, burnt burgundy with pinky-plum and copper shimmer. I thought Liqueur was similar, but it’s much, much lighter and bronze, not burgundy.
Lipstick ($15.50 U.S. / $18.50 CDN)
- Violetta is a brightened fuchsia-violet with an amplified finish. This is a PRO color.
- Dark Deed is a darkened blood red with blackish-brown with an amplified finish. It’s a ever-so-slightly redder version of Media (but they are very close), and Dark Deed has a wetter/glossier finish.
Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo ($21.00 U.S. / $25.00 CDN)
- My Dark Magic is a duo that features a blackened purple with a frosty finish and a violet-tinged blue with a navy-black base. Young Punk (Style Black) has a stronger black base with more of a glittery finish than the shimmer finish of this product.
- She Who Dares is a combination of a darkened navy-black base with medium-dark blue shimmer and a dirty green and gold shimmered over a blackened, forest green base. The blue side does resemble Blue Flame (Style Black) with the finish being smoother in this product.
Beauty Powder ($25.00 U.S. / $30.00 CDN)
- Briar Rose is a cool-toned, blue-based medium pink. It’s kind of like a bubblegum pink to me–like perhaps Snob lipstick in blush form. It is also reminiscent of a less purple, less cool version of Pink Swoon–perhaps if Pink Swoon and Well-Dressed had a baby. It does apply rather sheerly, though it can be built up.
Nail Lacquer ($13.00 U.S. / $15.50 CDN)
- Bad Fairy is a stunning shade of duochrome polish that’s both ruby red, molten lava copper, and gold, depending on how the light hits it.
- Formidable! shimmers teal, blue, violet, and reddened purple, depending on the light. It is, however, a dead-on dupe for ORLY Galaxy Girl. There is nothing that I can distinguish as different between the two brands–formula feels the same, it wears the same. MAC may take just a minute longer to dry.
- Mean & Green flashes burgundy, green, and gold and is totally full of shimmer. It is a dead-on dupe for ORLY Space Cadet.

Please note: As a press event attendee, I received samples of the full collection packaged in a “tower” with four boxes (one for each character), and as far as I know, it’s press packaging — therefore not something you will see or be able to purchase in-store.

OMFG I need Violetta lipstick.
I like My Dark Magic mineralize eye shadow duo.
I like Formidable!
I think those are the 3 things that are my _must haves_ from this collection, though I’m iffy on the mineralize eye shadow duo, as I tend to find thsoe hard to work with, but you made it look so beautiful.
i love the e/s both and all 3 nailpolish i must have this atleast i m making my list how about u? isn’t amazing cant wait 4 online as i know by the time i reach store SOLDOUUUUUUUUUT so its better from online.
My fav disney character! This collection is jaw dropping gorgeous!
I love the eyeshadow duos and the nail lacquer, definitely check them out ^^ Thanks for your swatchs
those nail polishes are so lovely! i definitely need bad fairy 🙂
i love the nail varnishes! especially MAC Formidable 🙂
if anything I HAVE to get all the Maleficent products! She’s badass
Those nail polishes look stunning!
Bad Fairy!!!!!
That is all.
How similar is Briar Rose Beauty Powder to Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre? I was interested in Briar Rose but it seems very similar, and I already have Azalea Blossom.
Thanks! This preview is amazing!
It’s similar — probably not QUITE as purple, but similar enough you could likely skip and not regret it later!
oh thanks so much for this – i love the compact, but hard to justify when i have plenty of azalea blossom left!
OMG Bad Fairy nail lacquer…I have to have it!!!
Revenge is Sweet seems interesting…it looks so dark and intimidating in the tube compared with the swatch.
I am also liking the look of She Who Dares mineralize e/s…
I think I’m going to end up buying much more than I first anticipated after seeing all of the swatches.
Nonetheless an amazing collection. Thanks Christine, you really are an angel for doing this for all of us!
My pleasure, Milly! 🙂
I know they/I seem kinda boring but Revenge is Sweet and Strange Potion are so pretty! Can’t wait and can’t choose.
Strange Potion is AMAZING! LOVE!
I like the nail polishes from this, and perhaps the blush..the mineral eye shadows look pretty,but Ive had issues with application of them in the past.
Oh, and I dont know if its just me but a bunch of these images and others from the VV collection keep coming up broken.
Hey Miranda,
I just checked and they all loaded up for me! I know things are running a little slow, since all the posts went up at once, and there’s probably 150-200 photos between the posts… but I’m seeing them all load for me after a minute or so!
Yes , images of those dont load

OMG VIOLETTA!!!!! i’ve been wanting it but it’s pro and we don’t have a pro store OMG OMG *jumps around* had no idea it was repromoted with this collection OMG and Dark Deed and Wrong Spell ( but i hate lipglasses :() and I’m liking She Who Dares… Oh Maleficent is my favourite of the lot.
This is MY collection!! My wallet is going to bleed!
What does “pro” mean? I’m loving the Violetta lipstick. Also love the nail laquers! Great job Christine!
It’s available at MAC PRO stores!
OOOOOOOH god….so bad that I already know where some of my next check is going…
what color would you recommend for a nc-20 skin tone, the briar rose or the oh so fair beauty powder?
THANK YOU! for the photos and the review!
even though the packaging is horrible (they could have done so much better, is like they wanted is to be villian BAD!) i’m looking forward for some of the products.
I don’t know is you wrote it and i missed it, but when does this collection comes out?
thank you!
Probably Oh So Fair… Briar Rose may pull pretty cool-toned.
September 30th!
i am so excited about this collection. i love the colors and the packages
christine how many violetta lipsticks do you have in your collection now lol
I think just two 😛
Whoa! Mean and Green is a dead-on dupe for the Orly polish. The pictures are nearly the same. Bad Fairy is gorgeous, but I don’t know that I get enough wear out of polish to justify $13. Strange Potion is pretty; it doesn’t scream out to me, but I like it.
Something is really wrong with her arm on the beauty powder art :/ The bend near the wrist is really distracting me from all the swatches!
Wow, you’re right. It should be turned the other way…
Hi Christine! All this stuff looks soo awesome, I want it all lol! Would you say Briar Rose is similar to well dressed?
It’s a little cooler, little purpler. It’s in between Well Dressed and Pink Swoon!
Hi Christine,
Do you think Brier Rose well show up on NW20? Well Dressed does not show up on me but Hang Loose does…..
Yes!
Do you think Briar Rose would look good on an NC45?
Not really, it’s so sheer.
I think bad fairy is the most stunning nail varnish I’ve ever seen. If I had to chose just one item from this whole collection, it would be it !!
The MES swatches look stunning too. I think I’ll get the blue/green one, as I missed blue flame (although I never use Young Punk !)
Yayaayy!! This is my favorite part of the collection.. I’m definitely going to pick up just about everything from the Maleficent part! I’m especially excited for the nail lacquers and mineralize eye shadows:D
Thank you Christine!
IMO the Maleficent is the standout collection. Wouldn’t be great to receive the tower (press) packaging with the purchase of an entire collection? I would so be all over this one.
My pleasure, Tiso! I’m surprised that Disney and MAC didn’t put out a bunch of accessories.
From the beginning my list said ALL for Maleficent and ALL indeed is what I’m getting. Pure love.
Ohh I can’t wait to buy MES She who dares and my dark magic! Since, I missed out on the style black collection!Thanks for the swatches Christine!
Sure thing, Vania!
the e/s duos are pretty!!
Those nail polishes are AMAZING!!
This is my fave!!! All looks super great!!!Nail lacquers here I come!!!!
OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the eyeshadows and nail polishes!!!!!!!!! So pretty!!!!!!
Does Briar Rose have any shimmers in it? Im a NC20-25, depending on the season. Will it work for me.
And how are the texture of the lipglasses in the collection? Sticky or creamy?
Very, very light shimmer – more like a sheen. I think it could, but it will be cool on you.
They’re creamy but all lipglasses are sticky/tacky!
OMG OMG , i am sooo all over all 3 of those nailpolishes, and the greenish e/s.
Hi Christine!
How does Violetta compare to Go For It from the In The Groove collection?
Redder, sheen, I find them pretty different.
it looks like i’m gonna have to get like…all of this.
the other characters’ products are kinda boring.
definitely getting bad fairy without a doubt!
Do you know how the two nailpolish collections can be exactly the same and from different brands?
Since I don’t work in the industry or have any experience with manufacturing, I don’t know.
Your makeup looks so gorgeous in that Sweet Lipglass photo, I just love it (the foundation looks esp flawless)! Very fresh and girly. I typically hate MAC collection packaging (the beach one was so fug) but I am adoring these. The eye shadows, too, look pretty amazing. My kind of shades…am impressed.
Thank you, Kat!
Hi Christine! How does Dark Deed differs from Dubonnet?
Much darker.
Wow! I want a lot of things from here: mineralize eyeshadows, beauty powder, Revenge is sweet l/g. Luckily I already have Violetta.
Didn’t like the mineralise eyeshadow in the pictures but the swatches make it look good for a smokey eye! Violetta is cool, I dunno if i’d have the guts to wear it anywhere but around the house though! LOVE the nail laquers! i’ve never seen anything like them before!
OMG ! These Mineralize Eyeshadow Duos are suppper !
God! this is the first time I actually love a MAC collection !
I want Bad Fairy nail polish! I wish the nail polishes had collection-specific imagery on them.
Really excited for these nail lacquers, especially Bad Fairy.
I have Blue Flame, but the green of She Who Dares makes me want this too.
I also love Dark Deed, but think I’ll give it a miss as with my age and light colouring I think it would be too strong
I love the polishes and the green & blue shadow. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
liking the beauty powders
That first nailpolish might as well call itself mine. I haven’t seen anything like it, its gorgeous.
love the bad fairy nail polish! really cool!
I need those two lipsticks. Not ‘want’ but ‘need’. Just thought I would share that with everyone.
I STILL need all three nail polishes, but are the 2nd & 3rd kind of similar to the Orly Cosmics? I know the 1st one doesn’t seem to match anything, and MUST be mine…
Hey Penemuel,
I think I mentioned it in the review, but Formidable! and Mean & Green are exactly the same as ORLY’s Galaxy Girl and Space Cadet.
Thanks! LOL yes, you did mention it, now I went back and actually read it instead of just making grabby hands at the pictures. 🙂 I may pass on those two since there’s no art on them, but Bad Fairy — omg what an awesome colour! Thank you so much for showing us everything!!
I love the eyeshadow duos!
the nail polishes are literally made my eyes pop out my head. love em!
Oh my, what a collection!!! I want Revenge Is Sweet lipglass, Violetta lipstick, She Who Dares eye shadow, Briar Rose beauty powder, and THOSE NAIL POLISHES!!! ♥ I’m also tempted by the darker lipstick and lip gloss, but nah… maybe too vampy. For me. But I SOOOO want them anyways!
OMG, i really have to have all these nail polishes!
They’re all freakin’ awesome!
They would be my first Mac :’)
You did such an incredible job capturing the multi-hued qualities of the nail polishes. They look just plain incredible, and I’m even more excited to search out the new ORLYs now! I really want Violetta because it looks gorgeous, but I think I’m not quite brave enough to wear it. My family would all look at me like, “What the heck are you wearing purple lipstick for?!” But there are so many other things from this collection that I am totally in love with, I’m so glad that they give everybody a little something, there’s dark and bold but also sweet and innocent in this collection. It truly is stunning!
Thank you, Ashley! Believe it or not, but these duochrome finishes are WAY easier to photograph than some regular shimmer polishes, lol.
FINALLY! This collection is my FAVE! Guess I saved the best for last! I’m so loving Violetta and all the shadows and nail lacquers! Time to save up!
I dont like the halloween makeup. teh only think i would prob buy from this collection is that Pink lipstick and 1 nail polish
*jaw drops* I love the mineralize e/s’s, the beauty powder and the nail lacquers!!! How would you desribe the texture of the mineralize e/s, in particular My Dark Magic? I’ve found mineralize e/s duos to be rather gritty and unpigmneted in the past.
Very smooth – the smoothest and richest to date, IMO.
I need those nail polishes. And the beauty powder!
Would Briar Rose look ashy on NC37-42 skin? Anyways, awesome review on the Venomous Villains collection!(:
I don’t think it would look ashy, actually, but it is really cool.
Loving all the swatches & reviews for this collection, but where are the swatches & reviews for the Fabulous Feline collection that will be out before this one?
I don’t have any products, so I have nothing to share at this time, sorry!
Briar Rose beauty powder and bad fairy nail polish for me!
Dark Deed would go perfectly with your ‘sultry season’ posts now wouldn’t it? 😉
Nope, it wouldn’t, ’cause it’s limited edition 😛 Only permanent shades allowed!
the nail polish, beauty powder, and MES will be mine.
totally thought I would pass on this whole collection…but now i cant
Hi Christine, as usual you did an amazing job on reviewing the collection…I was wondering if you could compare Smashbox’s Sultry lipgloss from their Fall 2009 collection to Wrong Spell lipglass. I know there’s obvious differences but are they decent dupes for each other, enough to skip Wrong Spell if you have Sultry?
I don’t have that one 🙁
Thanks anyway, I’m sure you understand how hard it is TRYING to be on a budget… 😀
Maleficent’s products look amazing!
I need Bad Fairy!
I won´t be able to pull the other products off. Too dark for me, I would look like a goth wannabee.
I will always love the tale of Sleeping Beauty…I just find it funny that the collection that has the most of what I want is this one….So far from this one I am dying to get my hands on Bad Fairy(I have Galaxy Girl by Orly), Brair Rose, and Revenge is Sweet(its awesome bc in the bottle it looks purple but is this gorgeous pink). Some of the other collections I just want like one or two things.
Love the me/s duo’s and the nail polishes!
Thank you, thank you Christine for all time and care you put in this reviews. I am amazed at the huge amount of time you must have spent taking pictures, searching for dupes, doing swatches…. Thank youuuuu. You are an amazing girl and blogger 🙂
I’m a NW15, and I think (so far xD) that I’ll get are briar rose beauty powder and the mineralize e/s. Hmmm…Those nail polishes are also tempting…
Always my pleasure, Anna!
Hi Christine.
Im NC42 what do you think I can do with Briar Rose beauty powder? Will it work only as a highlight because I would really like it as a blush?
I wanted to get any of the beauty powders from the collection but im afraid none will work.
Thanks for all your hard work!
I don’t think it would – I think it just might show up as pretty much… nothing.
I am nc 43.5 and tried briar rose and it showed on me
Hi Christine! Thanks for the amazing swatches!!! Would you say Briar Rose is similar to Coygirl?
It’s more like Pink Swoon, though a little lilac.
I think I am going to have to get all three nailpolishes they look amazing!
AAHH i need revenge is sweet and bad fairy IMMEDIATELY!!
cant wait to get them all.
Wowee! I must get the mineralized eye shadows and the nail lacquer. The beauty powder looks lovely, but I don’t tend to use a lot of cool pink blushes.
Hello Christine,
Thanks so much for this wonderful review.
In the first place I dont fall for this collection ’til i read your review. I just love all three nail polishes and Dark Magic e/s.
I would like to know if it’s difficult to remove the color of these nail polishes. Thanks!
My pleasure, Wi!
the mineralize eyeshadows, esp she who dares, is to die for. and I LOVE the nails
Those nail polishes are THE most amazing things I’ve ever seen!
Is briar rose beauty powder works like a blush? How similar is it to nars desire or angelika?
Yes, it could be used as a brush. It’s similar to Angelika, a little more lilac, no glitter.
thanks a lot Christine.
I just fell over by those nail polishes! Oh.my.word!
I can’t wait to get the MES eyeshadows since I missed out on the style black collection! Thanks for the swatches!
Wow I wasn’t planning to get any of the nail polishes but your swatches have totally changed my mind! I love red nail polish but sometimes it’s hard to find one that’s sparkly yet oddly classy at the same time. I think Bad Fairy will accomplish just that!! Yay~~
Christine do you know which brand gives you more nail polish for the price? Orly or Mac?
Thanks for the extensive reviews I always listen to your reviews now before I buy anything! 🙂
I believe Orly does!
Except for the orange polish, i literally LOVE EVERYTHING. Maleficent is the best part of this collection. I’m dark brown and vampy colors look amazing on me! 😀
Maleficent is my fav out of the Venomous Villains collection
this is my favorite character from VV! The eyeshadow duos are amazing and the nail polishes are great, but orly has them cheaper! lol
Maleficent is just so badass lol she’s by far the coolest of the villains in the collection!
I love all 3 of the nail polishes. Do you think Briar Rose Beauty Powder is similar to either NARS Mata Hari, NARS Desire or MAC Well Dressed?
How is a beauty powder different from MACs regular blushes?
I wish I could pull of Vioetta…so pretty 🙂
They’re not really – they’re finer milled/smoother in general, but they can be used as a blush just as much.
Briar Rose is closest to Well Dressed.
Hi Would it be possible for you to swatch compare the mineral eyeshowdow with the style black collection? Want to see how different. Thanks alost
There are swatches of those here…
Hey Christine! You may have already answered this, but do you know if any of these are going to be available for pre-sale? If so, when? Thank you …and thank you for always doing such a great job! I love your website!!!
Your local store/counter may do them. I’d try calling the 1st or 2nd week of September.
Apparently. I AM Malefecient! Every thing in this gruppo is perfect for me. Although I may need a tamer nail polish at 54…
All year has been a Violetta lipstick season, since last winter really. If you can wear this color, grab one while you can! It was sold out for months in the spring. I’ll need a new one by the time these come out
Her nails are blood red, I should know, I have the actual Disney cell print of her kn my right arm..
Her lips are blood red. J have the actual Disney cell print tatood on my entire right arm. Is anyone selling those pop up propmo boxes?
If they did, it would be such a disappointment – it’s really not ethical to do so!
Is there fallout with the MES Duos? I found with young punk theres fallout. Are these made with glitter? Glitter has a tendency to irritate my eyes. Do you think I’ll have this problem with these?
thanks
They do have glitter/heavier shimmer, so if you have had problems in the past, you may want to skip.
Best collection out of the four. Totally love Bad Fairy, the others are dupeable by cheaper Orly polishes. Love the Mineralize Eyeshadows and love the lip glasses!
This is my absolute favorite collection! I am seriously dropping all my money when this comes out 🙂 I think I have Violetta from a previous collection. It looks very familiar.
Hi Christine! Thanks so much for doing these swatches for us, I’m SO excited for this collection to come out. So I’m wondering what the comparison would be to Dark Deed lipstick to the permanent shade in Dubonnet.
Also, it may be just my computer, but I don’t think your comparison pictures are working; in this post & in the Evil Queen’s post. Just a heads up. [: Thank you again!♥
As soon as I saw these pics, I fell in LOVE with Formidable and Mean&Green. I was soooo happy to learn ORLY has dupes, got them last week and no pictures could do them justice! they are just so amazing in person! thanks for the info, christine! i wouldn’t have been able to wait till this collection came out!
Hi Christine!
I was wondering how/if Dark Deed and Kittenish are similar?
Thanks!
GREAT swatches! ^_^
Dark Deed is a little redder/browner, but they are similar!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this as very inspiring! HAve you tried putitng wrong spell lip glass on top of dark deed lipstick ( Iheard that’s what one of the looks is the face charts MAC has)?
How is coverage for wrong spell?
Any dupes for my dark magic mineralied shadow (from any company) as I am also too not into mineral shadows but open to try it if no1 else makes this color.
You are amazing hope you get to see more disneyland next time!
Hi Luke,
Wrong Spell isn’t quite opaque, but it’s pretty solid and goes on fairly evenly for such a dark gloss.
As far as My Dark Magic, maybe MAC Violet pigment patted onto a black base, and then perhaps Parfait Amour patted over a dark/black base.
OMG :O … Everything is so gorgeous! Wish we had MAC here…
i very like!! 🙂
okay i’ve gotta ask!
http://alizarineclaws.blogspot.com/2010/09/show-must-go-on.html
judging by these pictures, do you think this polish could be a dupe for bad fairy? 🙂
It definitely seems similar!
The OPI seems like it has chunkier glitter in it. I got my Bad Fairy, so I’m happy.
OMG AT THE NAIL POLISHES!
This is by far my favorite collection out of all the villains. I already bought the eyeshadows, and the briar rose beauty powder because MAC was letting us pre buy it I guess? Anyways, now I think I want Formidable! Nail Lacquer as well! Hmmm… Maybe Dark Deed Lipstick as well… I cant wait for this collection to come out! I cant wait to go to the MAC event and get my make up done with all the new colors! Ive been waiting for this all month! I am a total MAC Addict Thanks Christine!
Hey! Great review!
I only have two questions about Dark Deed Lipstick. I am pretty fair, so do you think it would be too intense even if its just for fall? Also, do you think it would look okay if I sheered it out with lip balm or lipgloss?
I think you could rock it!!
My fave collection since the Hello Kitty one! I am about to break the bank on this one!
OMG I have never loved one of their collections so much! I want MAC Dark Deed Lipstick, Formidable, My Dark Magic are musts. There’s more I would want but those to me are must haves.
Hey Christine,
I was wondering, do you think briar rose will be a good bklush for a NC42 skintone?
Yes!!
Is Briar Rose similar to Nars Orgasm??
Not at all!
Christine, my lips are really pigmented (I’m Vietnamese btw), so will Strange Potion or Revenge Is Sweet shows up at all/makes much of a difference? Thanks!
(^____^)*
Revenge is Sweet is sooo sheer, I would pass. Strange Potion would show up, I think!
But the look of the whole lipglass (packaging wise) of Revenge is Sweet is soooo pretty (O___O)* And I’m trying to cut down the list of the items I want… So between the 2 mineralize eyeshadows, which should I get? Oh, and I’m a NC30. My problem is I’m a sucker for purple, but I know that it’s a cool tone.
Personally, which mineralize eyeshadow do you like more?…
I’m a sucker for greens, so I prefer the green/blue duo!
LOL okay… Thanks for the fast rreply Christine! (>___<)*
man I really am having a hard time choosing between Brair Rose and Oh So Fair…i usually go for the more natural look but loveee Sleeping Beauty….which do you think would look better on someone with NC20?
I would pass on Oh So Fair, it’s so sheer.
i only like the nail polishes they’re really cool
i got all the nail polishes!!!
heyy Christine!
if u could only have 1 of the mineralize e/s which 1 would u pick?
My Dark Magic or She Who Dares?
She Who Dares
Hi Christine, Is Dark Deed similar to Cunning & Kittenish from the Fabulous Feline collection? I just ordered it because it says it’s an amplified creme which I love. When I saw the swatch, it looks glossy like cunning & kittenish. As always. Thank you.
Similar!
This collection is blowing my mind!
Have you found any differences between this version of Violetta and the PRO version? If so, which would you recommend?
I haven’t!
Do you think Dark Deed is similar to Hang-up?
Browner.
just out of interest Briar rose looks very similar to summer rose…how come this isnt mentioned on the cheatsheet?
Because it’s nothing like it, IMO.
Is Dark deed similar to sin?
Not as dark or brown – or as opaque.
How do you make the mineralize eyeshadow wet? Do you wet the brush?
Water 🙂 I usually pick up the shadow first, then spritz the brush with water.
You are beautiful! And I love Bad Fairy!
Thank you, Ebony!
Thank you so much for posting all of this, I (as well as TONS of others) appreciate it INSANELY. Sorry for posting this so late, but I was just wondering..
I think Wrong Spell looks like such a gorgeous and unique colour, but how do you think it would look on a rather pale girl with low pigmented lips? I’m really digging those plummy/brownish colours, even if they don’t suit me very well :P.
Thanks, Marcelina!
I think it would rock!
Hi. I know it’s late to be posting about Venomous Villains, but I have a question. I got the “Bad Fairy” nail polish but even though it seems to be the most sought after of them, I’m under-impressed. It just looks bright purple/burgundy on my skin. Anyway, my favorite MAC polish ever is “Toast of the Town.” The only polish of any brand I’ve almost used up. Do you know where I can find it? And do you know if “Formidable” or “Mean and Green” comes close at all to “Toast?” Finally, I’ve heard there are dupes for “Formidable” and “Mean and Green,” Orly I think, but do you know where I can find those? Looks like the new Tartan Tales polishes will be nice. Thanks as always!
I’m not sure what would be a good dupe of Toast of the Town. 🙁
What a beautiful products! Would love to have the Wrong Spell lipglass, My Dark Magic Eyeshadow or the nail polishes! Cool 😀
OMG LOVE. So, I don’t know what you do with all of your fun makeup, but I would gladly buy this press kit from you, haha— keep that in mind. =D
Hey Christine. Did you notice that the Maleficent image on the lipglass tube scratches off really easily? I just noticed that, and it kind of makes me sad, because the packaging is so cool!
I didn’t but I don’t handle it very often!
holy moly those are crazy nice
