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

[Copperhead]

I didn't use a brush.. lol maybe that was the problem huh? lol I'll try again. I don't know if I have that brush , I don't remember what numbers i have .I should tho lol

Another tip that might help you is make sure you tap the excess pigment off of your brush. Also, if you have some Fix+, perhaps you can spray your brush so the pigment can stick a bit better. Pigments are great! Good luck!

I think I can safely skip on this whole collection. Happy hauling though!

Yeah, same. It's mostly too cool and bright for my tastes and what isn't (the coral blush and lippie) is similar to what I already have. I was tempted by the Pearlmattes because I really like my Vera one, but they look like they're mostly sheen with just a bit of colour this time. I'm hoping appearances are deceiving, but the promo pics certainly don't scream subtle highlight/wash of colour.

BS is waaay darker than violetta. It's also straight purple. There's no fuchsia in it like violetta.

Uh, oh. My no-buy resolve is now toast.

wow! How?

They need to tell us the story for this collection already. Then it'll seem more real. I have decided what I want to purchase already though.

I can't imagine using a pigment without a brush! I second all of Copperhead's advice, and will add that you might also find it helpful to pour a small amount of pigment into the lid before dipping your brush in. Makes it easier to not pick up too much product, since a little pigment goes a looooooonnnnnnnng way. Less messy too! HTH

Thanks! This puts a few things in perspective for me. Where is all the buzz? The only thing that we know about coming out in Feb is Archie and Nicki Viva Glam 2 (which follows the original Nicki and Ricki from last year) Wow. Seems like we should have know about a few more collections by now. If it wasn't for SDCC, we would have barely heard any official info on Archie's girls.

Does anybody who isn't a big fan of pearlmatte powder?
They look pretty, but I'm still thinking whether I'll buy them because I wasn't be satisfied with the pearlmatte from Vera.
The texture of the Vera's pearlmatte was little slippery(!) or sth. It's hard to describe how it was, but I didn't like the texture in anyway.

I'm not a fan. Totally skipping!

I'm not a fan of them either - they always looked too powdery on my peach fuzz cheeks. I'll check out the new ones, but I don't think I'll be interested, at this point.

Found these face charts!! I'm guessing the first lipstick is "Boyfriend Stealer" and the second is "Daddy's Little Girl"?

excuse me, as I pick my jaw up from the floor! :eyelove:

 

[PPBeauty]

I'm excited for this collection! I think I may make out with only two lipsticks

 

[BuickMackane]

I'm definitely getting the purple and magenta lippies, knowing full well I have similar stuff already.

The Betty blush is also a definite buy (no such thing as too many neutral blushes!) but I'm on the fence about the Veronica one. I'm wondering how similar it is to Passionately Tempted. I like PT a lot but I don't think I need another dark blush along the same lines.

 

[Mac-Guy]

There is no doubt in my mind that all the purple products from Veronica will get the majority of attention in this collection.

I agree
