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

[sss215]

Oh Oh Oh is back. Ok cool. I will look into it this time around.

 

[Paisly]

I'm not sure if i want anything from this collection
Maybe the cream soda blush if it's not like immortal Flower (i have 2.)
and depending on swatches a face powder.

 

[Corally]

I already have OOO so I guess I can skip it. I really like it though..

 

[Naynadine]

Thanks for the info! GND being a Lustre kinda makes me want it again. I'm wondering how it compares to VG Gaga1.

 

[Carolina Marie]

oh my gosh, looking at the pictures in this thread is making me want to buy some stuff already! im really liking the betty quad, girl next door, ronnie red, and one of the pearlmattes! cant wait

Liba, bought that to my attention - I took a quick photo of the booklet and it cut off what was what. Sorry for the confusion ladies/gents

same cuz I have gaga1 and I barely wear it. ughhh I want to see swatches so bad!!

 

[kimibos]

ii have a feeling the soda blush is going to be brighter than immortal flower. so im getting it

 

[SRICH76]

I'm going to assume these are the l/g - I could be wrong because description was cut off Kiss & Don't Tell - Bright coral Summer Sweetheart - Light peach Stay Sweet - Light lavender pink

 

[Miss Dynamite]

So they changed Sweet Something to Oh, Oh, Oh? Disappointing.

 

[kimibos]

Stay Sweet - Light lavender pink

i think you are right and that there are 3 per girl one for each lippie. we saw a pic like not so long ago.

 

[kimibos]

So they changed Sweet Something to Oh, Oh, Oh? Disappointing.

what do you mean they changed?? did the color story say that before. i never noticed that.

Me too. I haven't got IF or AG so Cream Soda has to be mine. I still want AG though.

Love the new avatar btw. Kittehs rule!

 

[Audrey C]

I'll get myself Oh, Oh, Oh (definitely a safe bet) and probably's Betty's Pearlmatte. I'm hoping there will be swatches of that so I can see it beforehand.

I'd love some advice from the neutral to cool toned among you; I'm trying to decide what to get my daughter for her bday. She loves Archie and is a neutral NC25 with blonde hair and green eyes. She looks great in fuschia and other bright cool tones. I'd like to get her one of the quads (I know she'd love it). The purple would probably be gorgeous on her but she tends to wear neutrals. Maybe Betty's quad. The e/s will be fine, but any thoughts on whether DLG would be a good lippie shade for someone of her colouring? As reference, she looks amazing in Love Goddess, Fire Sign and her HG lippie, Sequin.

 

[kimibos]

Yay! One lippie I know I can skip! Much as I like OOO I definitely don't need a BU.

Me too. I haven't got IF or AG so Cream Soda has to be mine. I still want AG though.

thanks thats ms. minu. Im happy i can skip ohx3 too!!

 

[Miss Dynamite]

I'll get all of the lipsticks and lipglasses, both blushes, both pearlmattes, all 4 pigments and Veronica's quad...I think that's all, but it's hard to remember everything with all the info being spread thru many posts.

CVS takes makeup back - at least here in California. I bought a lipstick that was rancid (eeeew!!!!) and i took it back the next day. They didn't ask why i was returning it, just took it back and credited my account. There's a 30 day limit and you have to have your receipt.

Maybe I'll give them a call this weekend and see what they say. Might be worth another trip down there if they say yes...

I went by my local MAC today and they did not have Archie yet, my favorite enabler MUA even apologized. She had no idea when they would be getting any Archie stuff in.
