ME TOO!!! I kick myself because I only got one of the VV ones. Wish I'd grabbed Bad Fairy as well.
i only have one of the VV ones too! However i bought the OPI Bad Fairy dupe! I can't think what it is called but it looks very very similar and i bet you could still track it down. i think it was from the burlesque collection they did.
Did you get the kabuki from semi precious? It's the cats pyjamas!

I have Bad Fairy, but I passed the other two from VV because they were 100% dupes with two Orly Cosmic FX polishes (still available on evilbay!) that came out earlier in 2010 - bigger bottles, cheaper & better quality!
upsettingly i was going to buy it however it was so expensive! that month i didn't get paid much so couldn't afford to buy it
i am hoping to find it in a cco or something one day MAC Light Green Glitter - todays specktra blog post

Maybe you can get it on ebay? I don't think there are any fake 179 around. It would probably be too much hassle to make those.

The 179 and the 182 are a very different product for very different purposes. If you are curious, I suggest that you read through the Semi-Precious thread

This is the 182 released with the Couture Collection; same as the reg. 182, but just a square handle.

isnt it too pink for contouring?
I pulled out my existing Strada today. I've been trying to be sparing with it, since I don't want it to run out (I've gone through two already). I have NC15 skin. The colour is built up a bit here, but not what I'd call a heavy application.

So, tonight at the Holiday preview, I pumped some of my other MAs for info on Gareth Pugh.....
First off, we were discussing the greyish lipstick. It is SILVER in a big way - not light silver, but platinum grey - he pointed to the chrome displays on the holiday collection stands.....I asked "that metallic??" and he said not quite that, but it's definitely grey. It seems that it's a brand new kind of matte formula that MAC is testing the waters with. There's a possibility that this is going to become a brand new official finish down the line. I was wearing Prince Noire and my MA said it's matte like that but even more and better. Also, it seems like it's very workable, so that you get get quite a sheer application or something denser, without it looking heavy or thick. Wow, the possibilities!
Then we talked some more about the packaging and the in-store display. First off, there will be a video monitor as part of the display, showing Gareth Pugh's collections and the looks you can get with the makeup. He was very enthusiastic about how cool it will be.
He confirmed the packaging is square. The beauty powder is in a very large and heavy rectangular case - expect it to be huge - he showed me with his hands - we're talking maybe 4" x 3" or even a touch larger. All the packaging has a textured finish with a repeating pattern of embossed X's. The lipsticks are in a square tube that is chrome instead of the black of the other pieces (it's possible I may have misunderstood the chrome finish - I was having a few marshmallow martinis at that point!).
Even if the prices are prohibitive for you, the cool silver trend is the way things are going to be, going forward, so if you want some grey and silver and white colors in your life, get ready because they're coming - even Naturally is going to have a cool cast to the general color story.
Well, another confirmation that this is the standout collection from the most recent update! Get your pennies together!!
oh, and it's officially releasing on Black Friday - the day after American Thanksgiving, if that hasn't already been confirmed.
