Short Tip About MAC Venomous Villains...

Hello everyone! I know this is kind of a short post but I wanted to prove to you that I was sincere this time when I said I was back! I do enjoy blogging so much, but it can be difficult to do without the proper time and workspace. Glad to be doing it again though!
Anyways, I am sure most of you are really excited about MAC's upcoming collection, Venomous Villains. While some of the collection is cool, particularly because of the wicked Disney characters we love to hate, please be aware that many of these items are repromotes and can likely be found at your local CCOs (or possibly already in your own collections)! I'll do a haul post later, but please keep in mind that I was able to find ALL THREE of the Dr. Facilier pigments at my CCO for $13.25!!!

From left to right: Push the Edge (purple), Bold and Brash (fuchsia), and Melon (bronze)

In my opinion, the colors are not represented accurately in this stock photo at all; all of them are much more shimmery in person, while Push the Edge and Bold and Brash are definitely much brighter and exciting. Melon was in its old packaging (shorter and wider jar).

We all tend to get very excited with the hype and joy of a new collection, particularly one as welcomed as this one is with such a wide array of shades and even new products. Just try to keep your cool, stay focused, and only buy the stuff that you love that isn't a repromote. It's silly to pay full price for character packaging if you can get the stuff much cheaper at the CCO!

Some other repromotes/dressed up permanents in the collection:

-Carbon eyeshadow (permanent and seriously everyone has this by now!)

-Sweet Joy eyeshadow (repromote from Passions of Red collection)

-Rapid Black penultimate eyeliner (permanent)

-Hot House lipglass (repromote from Strange Hybrid)

-Violetta lipstick (permanent PRO color)

-Resort Life lip gelee (repromote from Lillyland)

-Slick Black greasepaint stick (repromote, I think from Art Supplies?)

-Zoom Lash mascara (permanent)

Be sure to nab some awesome limited edition goodies! I am definitely interested in the beauty powders, as well as practically everything in Maleficent's group...loving it!!!

What do you think you'll buy from Venomous Villains?
