Such a super late post! I wanted to get some older posts out of the way so I won't feel guilty for never posting them and finally deleting the pictures/swatches from my drive, lol. I think MAC VV came out during October/November, there were some unique products, but it didn't scream out "must have" so I was able to control the urge to splurge.

I purchased Briar Rose Beauty Powder from the Maleficent range (left) and Bite of an Apple Blush from the Evil Queen range (right). I'm a sucker for beauty powders are they're very fine and gives such a soft, natural look. I wanted Bite of an Apple as its matte and I wanted to build up a coral blush collection. I wasn't disappointed, these two products were sold out at my local MAC counter the first day! I was lucky to be the last two, haha.
Here are some comparisons. This is Briar Rose Beauty Powder next to On A Mission Beauty Powder Blush. They're pretty close, but On A Mission is lightly deeper. Briar Rose is more cool toned. If you have On A Mission, I think you're okay without Briar Rose. Since Hipness is a frost & Bite of an Apple is a matte, they look different in the pictures, but if you see them in person, they're pretty similar.

I also purchased two pigments - yes, I know I said I wouldn't buy any of MAC's pigments in the new packaging, but the colors! I couldn't help myself. You know me & my purples and golds. Push The Edge is from the Evil Queen collection and I believe Old Gold is part of the permanent line and came out with the Fabulous Felines collection.

Old Gold has a slight tarnished yellow-green tinge to it that I really like. If I apply it over a dark green or black base, it will show up a more green gold. Push The Edge is a shimmery eggplant shade and I love using this on my lazy days. I'd use a purple liner and smudge this pigment along my lash line and smoke it up slightly. It gives a soft edgy look without looking like I spent a lot of time doing my make-up.

Here's a quick EOTD I did. I wanted to do something dramatic as I haven't been wearing any eye make-up for a while. As I've said before, I like messy brows with dramatic looks. I create this look using a palette I will be reviewing later this week.
