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

[Rads]

WTH???!!! While I was gone for few hours, someone stole my pics??!!! Unbelievable!
I usually put my nickname/signature or sth on my pics, but I forgot to do it this time.
What's wrong with these kinds of people? Why do they steal the pics from others all the time!!!

Anyway, thanks for supporting me you guys. I love my Specktra family!

It's amazing how people just assume/claim whatever is on the internet is okay to use! And no crediting the source either...and then get all offended about it and act as if the person who took the photo is making a big issue of nothing...these people are truly disgusting..you should probably report that if possible instead of just letting it go by as just-another-photo stealing episode.

Don't know if anyone has seen these yet but I'm sold on the pink lippies and probably the red and Betty bright

I think there must be a filter on this pic because Oh, Oh, Oh looks so red in this pic. Isn't it supposed to be plum?

So that newest lipstick pic just cost me another $33.

But - the Stila Valentine edition blush sucks this year so that saved me a few $.

I went to a MAC S/S VIP presentation today and I saw Archie's.
All of the testers were in a glass box and they didn't allow people to test them!!! Of course, I wasn't happy at all!!!
Anyway, I just took some photos.

Girl Next Door looked like less intense version of Saint Germain cuz it's luster finish and I think it had tiny shimmer (almost iridescent sheen) when I took a closer look, but I wasn't sure cuz I couldn't test it!
Betty Bright looked similar to somewhat between Nicki l/s and Reel sexy l/s (It's peachy-coral with a hint of white, I think) in the tube and it's totally diffrent from Force of Love or Watch me shimmer.
Daddy's little girl reminded me of Outrageously Fun, but I think DLG is more intense cuz it's satin finish.

Oh and Veronica's blush had shimmer. I think it's silvery shimmer.
and Betty's blush was little darker and oranger than I expected.

I only had a chance to test Betty's pearlmatte cuz it's the only sample they allowed people to test. (It was on the presentation stage, not in the glass box.)
It had shimmer, but it's not glitter. Find shimmer with golden undertone.
The texture was really smooth and silky. It was way better than Vera's pearlmatte!!!
It was sheerer than I expected and it's like satiny-sheer finish. It didn't look chalky on my hand at least.
And it reminded me of lighter, sheerer and peachy-coral version of Immortal Flower blush!
Hmm..I just thought it's similar to NARS Deep Throat blush, but less pink and sheerer.

Really nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I'm starting my list and I could be in a bit of trouble.

It doesn't look as described but....... I like it.

 

[janineios]

Has anyone begun their site stalking yet? I'm thinking next week I'll start. I'm attending an in-store event on February 5th but I can't rely on them to have everything I want, because well it's ALOT.

Wow, Oh Oh Oh looks almost like a bronze color in that last picture. It looks more like No No No

 

[erine1881]

I'm trying to figure out which is Shape the Future and which is Definitely Defined. 

I listed which is which in the ED thread

I see one comment on the instagram feed and two FB comments. She's getting defensive and saying she watermarks anything she posts but lets people know if it's not hers. Yah right. Oh, now those comments have been deleted too 

Betty Bright looks amazing here. I may need two backups now. Lol

Shit! Me too

In that picture it looks like Sweet Something from pic that Erine posted earlier in the thread.

I reported her too, both her page and her pic. Everyone with an IG needs to do the same.

I found a pic of the Betty Caramel Sundae quad on eBay. Hope this link works: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290849004170#

Anyway, if not-I am crediting this pic from eBay seller @makeupemporium. Can you believe it? $54.95+ for this quad!

 

[fabulousmoolah]

Oz palette is up, 2 days earlier than thought.

[erine1881]

That pic most definitely has a filter on it. It's like 10 shades lighter than IRL.

 

[Jennifae]

I find it ironic that this photo thief is also a full-time police officer?

Back to topic... I'm skipping the quads and getting the UD Oz palettes instead. I still have about 8 items on my list though... 10 if I end up getting Betty's piggies.

 

[bluelitzer]

Hm. The more I see pictures of the Betty quad, the more I think I see dupes of perm e/s I already have like da bling, ricepaper/nylon, wedge/cork, espresso. I might skip them altogether.

 

[Medgal07]

I made a comment.

Two people called her out in comments! Good for you ladyarwen...
