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

[Mac-Guy]

From the pics we had before I thought it looked like something came in a heart shaped box and I so wanted that. I love when things come in cute boxes that I can use to store hairpins and samples and stuff like that. Now I guess that's just the back of the mirror?

Maybe you mean the coin purse?

I'm tempted to add Veronica's deep purple l/g to my wish list, but I really feel like it's going to be similar to Flight of Fancy, so maybe I'll be good and skip it?

That might have been it.

Do you have flight of fancy? Its still available, but I saw how unevenly it applied on T's review I did not purchase.

here is another picture I've found! the hearts look a lot more dark pink than I expected. But I can't tell if there is a filter on this that distorts the color or not

It looks quite shimmery and more silvery than I expected.
If the shimmer looks like Full of Joy blush, I'll pass.

MUFE #93 is my life!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have so much love for that shadow....

Do you mean #92? That was one of my first MUFE shades.

You guys are so awesome and have some really good points. I think I'm going to skip the quad. But I keep looking at it and the purple fiend in me is screaming for me to get it lol. Must...resist. I've just been waiting for a good purple quad. But need to really look at my stash before I make a decision.

Why wait for a good purple quad? Make ur own! Its the best option because all 4 purples would be what you want/need

Do you think DLG l/s is purpler than Outrageously Fun?
If it is, I should pass.

Wow you can tell it looks shimmery? My eyes must be going

I do! I don't even remember if I saw T's review of it, but I don't have a problem with it applying unevenly. Granted, I don't think I've worn it by itself yet, just over l/s. (FoF is simply gorgeous over Rebel l/s) Maybe I'll try it on bare lips today and see how it applies. If you want, I'll report back to let you know the results

Very good point! I'm probably going to Vegas in July, and they have an Inglot store there. Heard great things about their shadows.

It really depends how much in love you are with pearlmattes. If you don't wear them a few times a week, you could probably safely skip one collection or even both. You either love them or you hate them. Alternatively, you buy them for their cuteness, but I guess the ED blushes will be more interesting in terms of texture and novelty.

I do love them! Not enough to get all 4 though. I think for sure I want the BB one with mint leaves. I have red cheeks so it would help with that. Maybe I'll get one from each coll :nods:

 

[Naynadine]

I've decided to skip the Pearlmattes. If anyone sees me changing my mind, please intervene.

I'll rather get the BB ones, or maybe none at all, depending on funds. April will be crazy with all the collections.

I think that's what I'll do too but it will be a tough decision on which one to get. I recently got a Vera one from my CCO and I'm thinking about going back for the other. Sadly with Archie there won't be much time to debate

Do you have any pearlmattes ? Even if you don't , have you gotten to swatch them and what do you think of them?

Yes, I have both from the Vera collection. I really like them, but don't love them. The texture is a little bit... hm, stiff I would say. I prefer beauty powders and MSFs. They're definitely nice though, on one hand I do want them all in my collection, on the other I can't justify it, since I barely used the Vera ones.

 

[Urmi]

There's something about this collection that makes it hard for me to make up a list in advance - probably because a lot of the colors seem like things I may have dupes for or are products I don't normally buy often or at all. For now, I think it's only:

• one or both Betty pigments
• Mall Madness gloss
• Daddy's Little Girl (maaaaaybe)
• Veronica quad (maaaaaaaaaaaybe)

Just not that bowled over, especially considering what's coming up next.

Which lipstick do you think is a dupe of DLG?

Thank you Naynadine! I'm also C4 so I donno how it'd look on me, I bet it would barely be a highlight on me.

It looks like it may look like Night Blooming on me. I'm bringing mine in to compare.
