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

[bluelitzer]

I'm loving it! But I already have Immortal Flower, Modern Mandarin, NARS Orgasm and Peaches so I'm skipping this one

found this on instagram!

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

Yes I'm not sure about that purple color...looks awful!!!! I was expecting something else for sure. And ouch I truly hope the lip products and eyeliners are not 17 USD each? Owww

 

[MACJunkie85]

Not sure about Boyfriend Stealer.... I thought it was going to be awesome........

 

[ForeverJenn]

Looks like lustre

no no no! What happened to the purple from the face chart this looks too opaque and unflattering for spring :/ I was so sure about this lipstick and now idk anymore (moves it to "maybe" list).

 

[KMQE716]

Boyfriend Stealer looks more like a Boyfriend Repeller based on the swatch. Definitely a skip for me. ...or not? :S

lol!

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

I hope I don't want too many of the liners I have a terrible weakness for pearl glides. Well and for everything else actually. This collection is going to ransack our wallets ladies.

 

[lyseD]

I feel so left out because I am truly not interested in anything in this collection.

I can't wait for update! Hopefully something will knock my socks off.

 

[Jennifae]

I'm relieved I don't like Boyfriend Stealer at all (based on those photos). I think I'm only getting Betty Bright, Summer Sweetheart, Daddy's Little Girl, Mall Madness, both blushes, both pearlmattes, and maybe... both eyeshadow palettes and possibly a couple of pigments.

 

[singer82]

Yikes I don't like that purple at all. Bleh! Lets hope it's the lighting. Lmao at Tales from the Crypt and Boyfriend repeller! You guys crack me up.

 

[MacAddictNurse]

So not happy I can't justify another dark vampy purple that I won't wear because it makes me look super pale and yucky

 

[LadyMisfit]

So disappointed in Boyfriend Stealer. It's a total skip for me.

What finish is Ronnie Red? Not sure if this was posted already.

So far my list is:
Ronnie Red
Daddy's Litte Girl
Girl Next Door
Betty Bright
both blushes

 

[Prettypackages]

When we get the color story this thread will be on fire!

we are going to need another thread...

I am already tired of this collex... bah humbug!

If the swatch photo is at all close to the actual color of Boyfriend Stealer, it is far less red than Yung Rapunxel, and looks a bit greyed. On the other hand, if the color actually looks on the lips like the photo of the lipstick in the tube, then i agree, it appears close to YR. But if it is sheer, it'll be different. I'm for it either way, of course.

The swatch photo reminds me a bit of Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss No. 15 which is greyer than BS, i think, and shimmery. It's an unusual color. I had seen it in photos, but the Rimmel US website only lists five colors: 1, 4, 8 12, 14.

So I first bought No. 04, because on the Rimmel website the swatch looks grey-mauve. But it isn't, it's a deep dark plum-purple, and very close to YR in color.

This link to the Canadian section lists all 15 colors:

Be warned the swatch colors are waaaay off.

I guess i lucked out finding #15 in the US.

C'mon folks, we don't know what Boyfriend Stealer really looks like. Most of those Insta-Crap photos are way off true color. I'm not making up my mind until either i see good swatches or i see it in person.

I really want it to look like the color in the Face Chart. But i actually don't care if i end up looking like a member of the Crypt Kicker Five.

 

[singer82]

Have we seen this yet? Sorry if we have. Looks like the lipsticks glosses and liners are indeed $17. I actually like the look of the gloss, looks pretty dupable though.

 

[BuickMackane]

I'm clearly in the minority but I really like how Boyfriend Stealer looks in that swatch. Sure, I'd have loved an Amplified or Matte true purple, but this ain't half bad at all! I like my greyed out colours and if the swatch is colour accurate this lippie is right up my alley.

Magazines always round up. Is it just me, or does betty bright look red!?

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

I really thought bf stealer would look like the face chart lol. I wasn't expecting a dark purple like that.

uh oh I really like that red lipgloss!! was ad still is on my maybe list. I have a few already tho that I don't use that often.... :/ idk wth I'm gonna Get from this collection anymore! from the beginning I felt that the purple was very dark, I'll wait to see lip swatches before I decide

 

[2browneyes]

That lipglass looks pretty....not sure it's coming home with me though. I think I'm just sticking to the quads as of now....
