MAC Venomous Villains Preview


Tomorrow! It's finally here tomorrow! MAC's much-anticipated Venomous Villains collection hits North American stores on Thursday, September 30th.


Here's what MAC has to say about its collaboration with Disney:

"A potion to poison, an apple to bite, a spell to cast…bad never looked so good. 

A crystal ball of colour created from your 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 M∙A∙C 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   each featured on one ultra primary displayer  Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent and The Princess and the Frog’s Dr. Facilier are 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 would it be like to be one?"

I can't wait!

Thoughts: 
  • I like that they included a male villain, but I'm guessing Dr Falicier was included mainly because of The Princess and the Frog being Disney's latest release. There are a few other villains I would've included in his place - The Little Mermaid's Ursula or the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, for example. 
  • I love the inclusion of the Brow Marker in the Evil Queen's collection. Look at those incredible brows!
  • It's a good release in terms of the range of products and colours. There's something for everyone here.

So what's catching your eye? I know Jill has already placed her order for a bunch of stuff! Myself, I'm eying the Beauty Powders, the Liquid Powder (!!), those amazing Maleficent nail lacquers, the Evil Queen's Toxic Tale lipstick, the Maleficent Mineralize Eyeshadow Duos and Cruella's Heartless lipstick.

Who's your villain alter ego?
