MAC x Archie's Girls (Betty & Veronica) Collection Discussion (February 2013) - Page 374

I'm having serious skippers remorse for Strawberry Malt..I wished I had jumped on that before it sold out everywhere.

I didn't get flatter me but, I do ABSOLUTELY love BB and K&DT! It makes my pale skin look brighter for some reason!

same for me!! I stay away from corally colors as they usually don't look good on me but since it has so much pink in it i'm able to make it work. so happy with them!! The flatter me REALLY does go perfect with them, you should take that last look before they are gone 

now i want the nail polish too

Will have to get my items on the 7th March when they come out in my local store.

Wow, that's definitely not okay. They took your money, they should have sent your order out. You should contact them and let them know the situation.

And I got everything I ordered! It's a relief to see they actually seem to have control over their stock these days! Despite most things selling out rather quickly in the UK.
 

Yaaay! Just received my package from MAC UK too.

I got Flatter Me, Veronica's Blush, Prom Princess, Spoiled Rich quad, Betty Bright and Daddy's Little Girl. At a first glance BB looks similar to something I already have. DLG looks less bright than I imagined. I cannot wait to test them when I get home / tomorrow. Now to get my hands on Ronnie Red (probably) and Strawberry Malt (definately). I was going to get BS and perhaps Feeling So Good, but I think I'm going to skip, especially since I ordered from NARS last Sunday and yesterday and added Amour, Desire, Mata Hari, Exhibit A, Taj Mahal, Zen and Cactus Flower to my (NARS) blush stash. NARS +

What did you get? They shipped quite soon this time. I ordered last Wednesday, so 6 days is not too bad. When I ordered my S3/C3, Vera and Chenman stuff I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks or so for that devine package

NARS and Archie!

I got BB + Kiss Don't Tell, Daddy's Little Girl, Lucky in Love, Cream Soda, Flatter Me, Caramel Sundae, and the mirror! (And a sample of Strobe Cream - my first sample & SC ever!)

I think I also ordered last Wednesday. So we had the same delivery time! I think I get my stuff usually in 7 or 6 days now. Once it took a bit longer due to a 4-day weekend or something like that and once I got my stuff the same week  - ordered Wednesday I think and the box was with me on Friday pm - and this was the Marilyn Collection of all collections!

that's how i finally got DLG...off ebay :(
 

That sounds like a fairly conservative but beautiful haul--I am afraid to ask how much the Oz prices were for the brush set!

Nice haul! K+DT also has my attention... Hmmm... must... resist...

I believe once I placed an order on a Thursday and received it on Monday. That was the fastest -> Très Cheek collection. Weird that MM shipped so quickly! Perhaps they were prepared for the upcoming massacre...

Here's Cream Soda blush on me (NC3035 for ref).  (Sorry for the crappy lighting and iPhone photo quality)

I like the shade but I have to REALLY pack it on to build up any noticeable color.  I thought maybe it'd be a nice spring/summer "no makeup" look blush, but when I get closer to NC35 in the summer, I doubt it will show up at all... and I don't want to be packing blush on when it's hot outside.

I might try it layered over Out For Fun Casual Color cream blush.... 

Anyone else around my skintone having success with CS?  How are you using it if so?  Thanks!

imho, nc20 for reference, Cream soda may look hella light in the pan, but when i applied on myself, it was surprisingly more pigmented and more orange than I thought it would be on me. It looked almost like immortal flower in the pan, but definitely way much more orange on me when applied than immortal flower.  Just my one cents worth

LOL!! Maybe I'll think about it. I have SO many orange and coral blushes, I'm getting kinda bored...I know! I said bored! LOL!!

I know. I finally broke down and got Strawberry Malt of Evilbay. I was hoping for a restock and maybe there will be later? But, I got it for only three dollars more than getting off the MAC sight so, not too bad.

Awww thanks babe!  I do like it, I just had to pack soooo much on to get it to show up... I was hoping it would be a pretty summer blush.  But when I'm darker and it's hot out, I don't think I'll want to pack on that much blush!  I keep debating whether to keep it or pass it on to my pretty, pale, blonde little sister. CS is such a lovely shade I hate to see it wasted in my stash if I never reach for it!  It will look gorgeous on her!  

Here is my haul

I am soooooooo in love with my goodies

And I did also receive my Betty head scarf

Went to NZ Archie's Girls preview today! Found out the department store I was at were the only people doing previews of the collection, so feeling pretty lucky!

Ended up paying $61 ($50 USD) for Flatter Me and $45 ($37 USD) for Ronnie Red. Ronnie Red, oh my - It's honestly the best red EVER on my lips! And Flatter Me is just adorable, I love how it looks on my NC20 skin (I also found out they only had 4 stocked in-store, so was keen to snap it up!).

Also, as a wee surprise, I got a small heart-shaped tin with some cinnamon mints inside since I had booked a preview session :) Definitely a good day!

Yesterday I went in my nearest mac store for concealer, and of course, although I thought I was done with this collection, I stopped at the Archie's Girls display and they still had Girl Next Door which I have constantly reassured myself I'm fine without. But I ended up getting it along with Hip N Happy Lip Pencil. They go together pretty well, and I wore the combo today. They had a Strawberry Malt on the Betty display with her face on it instead of Veronica's. I thought that was kind of funny.

The girl helping me complimented my blush (which was Prom Princess). So if anyone light skinned (I'm NC15 but I lean more neutral) is still on the fence about that blush and you can get your hands on it, I definitely say go for it! Love it with Play it Proper.

How have you ladies been rocking Lucky in Love pigment? I love it, but I'm not sure what kind of look to go for with it!

Ooh! Nice 

The pink/coral on your scarf reminds me of betty bright!

That's a lot money for a lipstick and a blush.  I'm glad you had fun at the event today! Enjoy Ronnie Red and Flatter Me!
