If you can live without the comic book packaging, both colors are perm.

And i thought the Betty Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner would be Lord It Up. I want LIU but don't see a good reason to spend more for the fancy packaging, since Archie is ok, but i'm not really fannish.

One busy day at work and I miss so much excitement! I love BBB's swatches and now I'm positive that I need Mall Madness. It's been just that here at work and thankfully I'm hustling enough that my paycheck just might be big enough to accommodate my hual from this collection.

I'm going to try to do some swatches this weekend. But does anyone think the colors in the quad are dupeable?

I'd say stars n rockets, vibrant grape, contrast and typographic. Skip for me!

I wish it was like that too - a seafoam-y green pigment would be perfect!

Between daddy's little girl and oh oh oh, which would y'all pick?

 

[ladyarwen]

I already have Oh, Oh, Oh. It's a lovely shade, but the staying power isn't great.

 

[Aquamarine1543]

I'm little confused. How many lipsticks for each girl?

And with everything so hush-hush, there could be other goodies we haven't seen.

I have O3 and a BU. The BU came later when it was in the goodbyes section months after its debut. I don't use it that often, but it is a nice MLBB with shimmer, so that's why I backed it up but I'm gonna pass on the Archie packaging for sure.

My list so far:

Betty Bright lipstick
Girl Next Door lipstick
Prom Princess blush
Cream Soda blush
Betty Quad

Though more swatches and info might sway me for more. Right now I'm pretty satisfied at how short my list is

[Wandalemur]

I'm confused by the name pearlmatte. Anyone know if the powders shimmery or matte? Thanks.

 

[iATEaSEAmonster]

Is it weird that I'm loving Betty's side and only want one item from Veronica's? xD

 

[erine1881]

I'm confused by the name pearlmatte. Anyone know if the powders shimmery or matte? Thanks.

It's right in between. It's hard to describe and imagine really, but it's a soft glow without shimmer. But not matte. Does that make sense?

 

[Wandalemur]

I think so. Thanks for the reply Erine. I'll have to see them. I like the idea of a flow without a lot of shimmer.

 

[Deadly]

I've decided to skip all the glosses except Veronica' blackened plum - Feeling' So Good.

So my Final list is:

Ronnie Red l/s
Feeling' So Good l/g
Cream Soda blush
Prom Princess blush
Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte
Lucky in Love Pigment
Black Poodle Pigment

So 7 items left. Yay for me!

 

[erine1881]

Just cream soda blush and the piggies for me!

 

[QueenofSpades81]

MY LIST:
Prom Princess blush
Boyfriend Stealer l/s
Oh Oh Oh l/s

No. Because I'm the complete opposite. If I could get everything from Ronnies kit, I would.

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

No lippies??

 

[kirsten]

Here is my list:
Girl Next Door l/s
Bright Betty l/s
Oh Oh Oh l/s

Hopefully my money tree blooms by then!
