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

[Pretty Honeybee]

Just cream soda blush and the piggies for me!

No lippies? I wonder how Caramel Suindae looks??? hmmm...

 

[KiKi Kontour]

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.

ugggh immortal flower did NADA for me so i gave it away!!

pretty much dwindling my list down to:
boyfriend stealer -pending on the swatch on ME
ronnie red- even though i was goin to get diva

i guess i'll pass on the bronzy color too depending on the swatch!! ok ok ok sooo im already over this collection... WHATS THE NEXT ONE AFTER THIS???

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

I had to force myself not to look at the whole color story. I have the new Sephora Disney Princess collection (LOVING the Cinderella palette) and the new UD Oz the Great palettes coming out in the spring so I need to save my money for that as well.

Ooh Thankyou for sharing an Oz palette? Cool! I'm eager to see those!

 

[ChosenOne]

I feel like I might have to swatch all of these in store before making a final decision (good luck to me on that, right?) but my list is really just Cream Soda blush, Betty Bright l/s, and Boyfriend Stealer l/s. My wallet is crying with appreciation.

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

her BS looks totally different from the other deeper purple we seen!! now i feel like i need to swatch it before i totally write it off but if its anything like cyber or media-like i'll pass!! i pretty much pass on mac palettes for UD!! they dnt disappoint. that VICE palette is the shyyyyyt but neither one of those palettes spark my interest to grab BUT they are great value $50 to get 8 shades, liner n gloss!! i got DP and didnt like it...i think i got it in one of their palettes matter of fact (nordy special event one) i've yet mastered gettin over the messiness of pigments so i normally ONLY been gettin samples. i got kitshhsdfksdfksdf (whatever that color is) and vanilla!! but since im anxiously awaiting the return of METAL ROCK msf **crossing fingers it returns this year** i heard the chocolate brown pigment was a close dupe sooo i guess i'll try that too ugggh immortal flower did NADA for me so i gave it away!! pretty much dwindling my list down to: boyfriend stealer -pending on the swatch on ME ronnie red- even though i was goin to get diva i guess i'll pass on the bronzy color too depending on the swatch!! ok ok ok sooo im already over this collection... WHATS THE NEXT ONE AFTER THIS???

Your so right...I agree now that I know of these UD palettes I'm skipping the Mac palettes. Better deal and The shadows are primo quality.whereas the Mac palettes are too hit and miss usually miss or me. Really not sure of my list. I guess here is a preliminary list,it's subject to change though tee hee Veronica bad black Opulash mascara-love the huge tube! Ronnie red ls-thinking this will be great hopefully not drying due to matte texture Strawberry malt lg- depends on swatch could be a dud Mall madness lg-want to try on in person Boyfriend stealer- again need to try on in person Prom princess blush-want to try on, looks nice and vibrant! Cream soda- looks boring but could be a gem? Eyeliners- prob get one of each....depends on price? Brushes-look cute but need to feel them first before I know This collection is going to be fun and we are going to haul like crazy! But I'm hoping I don't want more than 6 pieces. Don't know why 6 pieces seems like enough but not overboard status? Haha
