The Villainess In All Of Us

ONE dark stormy night, an invitation was sent to all the wicked in the land to attend the MAC Venomous Villains Auction Event. News of the scandalous event spread far and wide, and the 4-day event was marked on all calendars.

 

When 31st October dawned, the most heartless villainesses came, prepared to do battle to vie for the 12 rare items from the infamous MAC Venomous Villains collection. And oh, what a magnificent battle it was!

Day One

On the first day, three magical items were selected as the trophies of the day. Embedded with the spirit of Cruella and Maleficent, it's no wonder that they are most coveted.

First one on the scene was Zie Rayyan, with the bid of $30 for the Cruella Lip Gloss (Wicked Ways), just seconds placed after the Auction was officially opened. A few more bids were put in throughout the day, with no clear prediction to who would win the MAC Lip Gloss.

 

And then SUDDENLY....

 

At 3 minutes before the clock struck 10pm, with a single blow, Maurina devastated all her opponents with her bid, and emerged victorious!

 

However, her win here had taken her focus away from another ongoing battle for the Maleficent's My Dark Magic Eyeshadow Duo, where she was head-to-head against Leya Mhb. Leya proved to be too fast for Maurina, and so, the item fell into the waiting hands of Leya. *Hurrah!*

Day Two

Day Two brought more vile and vain creatures into sight, with the crowd gathered around The Evil Queen's Sinister Lipstick and Hot House Lip Gloss.

 

The Evil Queen is a very popular character  on this day. She was, after all, once the fairest in the land. For her Sinister Lipstick, a fierce fight was going on between Liyana and Syaziyah.

 

Blow after blow! Strike after strike! The crowd goaded them on. The combat heated up with intensity until Liyana stole the prize with her lethal bid of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!

But what's this?

 

Not so far away, in the realm of Twitterverse, an enchantment is being casted by none other than... The evil Maurina! With Cruella's Lip Gloss already in her possession, it seems that she's got her evil eye on The Evil Queen's as well!

 

Maurina's Enchanted Spell!

Still, could she beat the other bidders? Those who are fiercely outbidding each other, all equally desirous for the prize?

 

As the closing call sounded 10pm and the dust has settled, Maurina stood in the middle of the battlefield, with the Hot House Lipgloss firmly in her grasp!

 

Day Three

The sun rises over the next three bewitching items, and amongst them, is the only Maleficent's Nail Lacquer that gleams orange, ruby and pink in the sunlight.

Bad Fairy Nail Lacquer

A potion that's so mesmerizing in its colors that it's dangerous! Can you expect any less from Maleficent?

 

Just ask Nuroll, the champion who claimed this gorgeous poison, how lovely her prize is. :)

 

As for the race for the last MAC Lip Gloss, in the form of Cruella's Wicked Ways, biddings went up higher than it did for the other 2 Lip Glosses.

 

The last few minutes for the last Cruella's Lip Gloss saw serious bidders fighting to the very end. But as always, there can only be one winner - Congratulations, Salwa!!

 

Final Day

The final day of the MAC Venomous Villains Auction has arrived. And those who had been quietly sitting on the sidelines, watching the bidding for the past few days, have finally decided to come out and play.

 

 

Bright and early, the first bids were placed for the last three pieces of the Venomous Villains collection. And one of these items is The Evil Queen's Sinister Lipstick again, the same one that had fetched a $100 on the second day.

 

Amongst the contenders, were Syaziyah (who returned to claim the prize she lost against Liyana), Audrey (the winner for the Penultimate Eyeliner) and even an appearance by Shop@Sarah's!

 

And in the blink of an eye, the opening bidding price leaped from $25 to $90! The raging storm urged on but it seems that Karin had scared everyone off!

 

But close to 10pm, a lone bid took the crown away from Karin. And that bid belonged to Audrey!

 

Throughout the day, there was one obvious contender that had slayed everyone who came in her way. From the very beginning, she had declared the Maleficent's Eyeshadow as her ultimate goal.

The cruel villainess, Karin, gave every opponent a smackdown, taunting those who dare to challenge her!

 

Even Thann Sanctuary made a cameo appearance in an attempt to add Maleficent's Eyeshadow to create the perfect 'Drag Look'. But Karin still knocked them down.

 

As the time tick closer to 10pm, Karin is nowhere to be seen! Is she just waiting for someone to outbid her? Is she going to just let SheQeen win?

 

Well, despite Thann Sanctuary's threats, no one had challenged SheQeen and, lo and behold, she won the last gorgeous 'My Dark Magic' Eyeshadow!

The four-day event ended as suddenly as it had begun. All twelve potions have been claimed by only the most vile.

 

And peace rules the land once again.

 

... Until the next time.

The MAC Venomous Villains Auction Event was such a success because of all of you who had participated. It had definitely shocked me to see bids going through the roof! The four days were so exciting to watch and we had people checking in, just to watch the bidding. :)

 

To all winners, you guys are awesome and the profits earned through the auction will be put towards the blog. I hope to add more store or item reviews in the near future, and this profit will help me do that!

 

So, THANKS, you guys!
