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

I would prescribe that to myself if it existed.... Maybe I should go into research...

Love that you were so pleasantly surprised by some of your items. ENJOY!!

yay just got my order today.

Betty Bright is a bit more pale looking then I thought it would be on me ( I have very pigmented lips so I think that's why it looks odd to me) but it's a wonderful color still and I tried putting different lip liner under it to darken the color and it looks awesome ^_^ I was also very worried it would look orange on me like most corals but it does lean abit more pink then normal corals I've seen.

Ronnie Red is very similar to Charmed I'm Sure but does have a slight pinker tone to it where Charmed I'm Sure is a true red. Daddy's Little Girl is a lot more purple then I thought which I'm happy about because it's not like any of the other bright pinks I have ^_^

Flatter Me is wonderful I was very worried that on my skin tone (I have not been matched yet by Mac but I'm going to assume I'm a N something 15 or less) I was worried it was going to be a bit too orange for me but it's not and will make for a great blush (since it might be too dark for all over) it does look a bit like Mighty Aphrodite from the Wonder Woman collection mixed together but Flatter Me is not as shimmery and is a bit less pink.

And OMG the packaging is even cuter in person. I am not a huge Archie fan but know the popularity of it but the cute hearts and how the girls look sold it for me haha

I got my black boxes a little while ago. The Caramel Sundae quad is very pretty. I will probably wear it tomorrow. I watched that video earlier today. It made me glad I ordered Nicki2.


just had to add......If I had tried on GND before giving one o to my daughter I probably would have kept it for a b/u.

Very easy wearable color for me. I kept seeing reviews saying how sheer it was so I thought would be a good starter l/s for her.

Nice setup!

Love it! I agree that the Alex is a lot sturdier than the helmers too imo. I have a few drawers that are filled with heavy nail polishes and candles and they are very sturdy even when pull almost all the way out.

Here's my setup with the Alex units.

I picked up the NARS reflecting powder....elegant one you are naughty naughty

Did you get the compact or the loose powder? I'm struggling to decide & I'm being unnecessarily scientific about it---I keep telling myself--just pick one already!!!

Nah, take your time so you're sure

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you so much Richelle!!! I have, and happen to love Starless Night. I was going to remove Black Poodle from my preorder because I thought it might be redundant---but hey---it's a go!!!!

So the lighting changed in my kitchen

Magic Spells, Moonlight Night, Lucky in Love, All Girl, Cheers My Dear, Later, Black Poodle, Starless Night

 

[Medgal07]

Amazing color---love it!!!

 

[Medgal07]

No, those are good points to staying with a loose powder. I want to see if I get more of a veiled affect with the pressed. Other than that, its just handy for your purse.

Thank you so much elegant!!

I'm on it!!

I couldn't resist trying DLG...kicking myself for not getting a backup. From swatches it looked so hot pink, but you can tell from the tube it definitely is not, much more purple in it. I am in love, it is so opaque, and feels so moisturizing on.

Thanks love!! I am looking forward to getting a lot of use from it!

 

[elegant-one]

OMGosh you have AMAZING beautiful lips!

The color is divine

The only mac we have here is at a macys- I went to talk to the girls about YOTS and they had no idea what I was talking about. I was hoping they could tell me more about shell pearl and then I asked about Archie's girls and they aren't putting it out till the 9th...

Why thank you Elegant!

I was sitting here looking at the box, and decided what the heck...I have to see it on...LOL. I hope it gets restocked online, so I can get a BU.

Omg it looks amazing on you, I def can't wait to get mine:eyelove:

 

[valkolak]

It looks beautiful! I think I may need to track this one down after all.

At first I was a little wary of SR quad with T giving in a crap grade but really it's the kind of quad I would use with NYX milk pencil.

I think everybody is owning a Malm...LOL..
