NOOOOO!  LOL  When has a little matter of product ever swayed us from cute packaging!? HeeHee I have the MM Beauty Powder for the same reason!  I can only use it to set my under eye concealer... it will take me a lifetime to go thru it!  

Lol! At least you put it to good use.

Archie should of had a pretty 3rd dark complexion friend named Stacey so we could have a pearlette

He actually had a black girlfriend.

I have to try this....I am still looking for the perfect powder to set my UEC.

I am going to skip Flatter Me. Nothing on my list.Can I skip a MAC collection?

 

[erine1881]

Thanks Erine!! That was one of my items I was debating.. I actually thought the peach based would've looked nice but I guesss it's more powdery than a sheen huh?

Correct.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! I so the pearlmattes are Def. NOT a BP and BLUSH combo?! I now I don't know if I want them. Are they still amazing? I missed out on shell pearl and the BP that veronicas blush was supposed to be. That's why I wanted them! Plz tell me you're positive on this...

IMO they are very skippable.

So, the Shell pearl in the YOT is different than the pearlmatte in Archie's collection?

Very different.

Sp? Pip? Opp? I need translation lol

Helppo, Cream soda or flatter me? I know they are Totally different but I cant afford both with the lippies I want at the moment Sooo any thoughts? I have a crappy CCO btw, so doubt ill find any there eventually

Depends. One's a blush. One's a face powder. What effect are you going for.

How about NC30? D:

Yes.

Thanks for letting us know! How odd and confusing that they included that in the description!

As i guessed before, they were probably colour references, and they listed them as actual colours.

all these 3 will be available at the mac PRO stores. the only 2 that are exclusively online are the MIRROR and the TOTE. i hope i helped someone.

Yes, thanks doll! I forgot to post that part. None of the accessories will be at department stores.

Sometimes BB looks pink in swatches other times it looks more peach ugh

It depends on your undertones. NCs like me, it swatches peach. NWs will swatch more pink.

 

[hazyday]

not to sound like a geek or anything. Archie did have a black girlfriend in some of the later issues and i think they even had a baby.

Yes, he had a daughter with Valerie of Josie and the Pussycats...her name is Star, I believe.

Shell Pearl is a Beauty Powder... and it will be re-released in YotS Collection. But the bloggers with these AG PM were saying that one had SP as its base. So it was a little confusing. Beauty Powders and PM are not the same product. Although they can serve the same purpose. PMs I've gotten in the past are more of a sheen affect. I loved the Vera ones and will still get FM from AG. But I was going to pass on SP from YotS since it was said they were the same! So I'm glad to have that info! So now I'll get it from YotS and not miss out. Although I'm still confused how the bloggers are getting that impression with these AG PM's!?????

Thanks for your info PixieDancer.. Yeah, that's what I was hoping for..a nice peachy sheen... I'll still get it though just because it's cute..hahaha

 

[janineios]

How wil Prom Princess compare to Passionately Tempted?? I just bought PT & I dont want complete dupes. Thanks!

PT is more purple, and my easy to blend. PP is less purple, more pink and blends like freakin butter. PP also has a silvery shimmer sheen to it that PT does not.

Yup, I noticed that too. Made me put it to the side. Mentally... Until I see it in person..maybe..

Betty Bright is more coral than pink, I can guarantee you that. It does have pink in it but overall the shade leans more coral. That said, it could still change on your lips so you may still want to try it on in person!

 

[Michelemu21]

They should do a Josie and the Pussycats collection!

Yes, he had a daughter with Valerie of Josie and the Pussycats...her name is Star, I believe.

 

[mallory1712]

I am really disappointed about the PMs! I thought the were gonna be an amazing highlight/luminous glow dealio. Money saved I guess... :-(

 

[Sassafrazz300]

They should do a Josie and the Pussycats collection!

That would be REALLY cool!

Loved them too! HaHa

 

[luvlydee]

If you REALLY want the packaging, I believe you can depot them and use the compact for other things but not absolutely positive on that

i like how the powder print looks like also

This is from the Archie website http://www.archiecomics.com/Blogs/tabid/97/BlogId/1/BlogDate/2012-06-30/DateType/month/Default.aspx This is the woman that won Archie's heart.

 

[ForeverJenn]

I wish they did a Popeye collection

 

[OctoberViolet]

I'd love that!

They should do a Josie and the Pussycats collection!

 

[MaitaiFluff]

Yes! I'd probably buy it all and then some.

 

[moonzie]

Thanks!

A little lighter, more pink-toned (noticeably less purple than Passionately Tempted), smoother application, and Prom Princess has some silver shimmer. It's not a complete dupe at all, but keep in mind that things tend to look similar once blended out. The shimmer alone makes Prom Princess different enough from Passionately Tempted, and I liked the way it applied a lot more. I liked the pink tone that it has as well.

 

[OctoberViolet]

I wonder why they didn't add Valerie to the Archie Girls collection? That would have been amazing. Plus, more stuff to go crazy with.
