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

[Medgal07]

Hey there, Medgal! Nope, using my MacBook! It tells me that since I'm new, I have to have posts approved by a moderator - but I can mostly post just fine!

Wow. Didn't even know that existed

Will do---definitely thinking highlighter, and I just have a thing--cough--addiction to this kind of stuff!

I have the Chanel Poudre Signée highlighter and I ordered the new Mouche de Beauté highlighter from the Versailles collection. I really like Shell Pearl's snake design and it's a lot cheaper compared to the Chanels, but I want to make sure I'll get use out of it too.

I'm not sure how it will look on my skin. I was only able to find one swatch of it on deeper skin and it's only on her fingers. But she also linked to a video of Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog discussing how to use beauty powders. I found it very helpful. On a side note, I pictured her voice being much different.

The Archie's pin was included in both my PRO orders......The first order I did @8am yesterday morning has shipped, but, the one I did last night has not....I knew all of the lipsticks would sell out but, OH OH OH and BOYFRIEND STEALER would not....

Depending on your complexion, it might pull more pink or more coral. What makes it stand out is the fact that it looks so fresh and juicy.

But as always, if in doubt, try it out before you buy. HTH

Love your description Mac-Guy! You're not supposed to make us want to eat it

So I received my shipping notification last night, but the tracking still isn't available so no expected delivery date yet *sigh* I'm sure it'll be up by the end of the day. Something to look forward to, I guess! I like to count down to

lol

 

[Genn]

my haul is

Caramel Sundae
Flatter Me
Veronica's Blush
Girl Next Door x2
Bright Betty
Daddy's Little Girl
Mall Madness
Stay Sweet

Snake
Shell Perl
Once upon a time
Aztec brick
Plumful

Since there seems to be quite a few of us that are going on a "NO-BUY" until April I think someone should open a no buy support thread

 

[Mac-Guy]

How do you use pearl mattes? As a highlight or all over th face? I love Betty one, but not sure it will look good on my pale skin.

I posted some brush recommendations on the Early buzz thread. HTH

 

[brittbby]

If I place an overnight order right now, do we think it'll get shipped out today? I have skippers remorse over caramel sundae and kiss & don't tell and now I'm debating getting cream soda blush (nc35).

It wasn't included in my first order, I ordered on pro as soon as it launched. Once the PMs were up I placed a second order and it was included on that order though.

samething with me

So, should I get the brush set?

I mean, it does have those cute little lovely dovey red hearts on them

I know this is silly, but I save my Chanel highlighters for special occasions. This is no dress rehearsal---I should just use my goodies when the mood suits me right?. When they're gone some other amazing product will come along.
I watched that video last weekend and also found it enlightening---stumbled upon it while researching the product, which is probably what you were doing too!

No, it will not. They need at least a day just to process it. HTH

Omg don't say that I was debating yesterday and last night.

Same here. Not that I care much about the pin...

Okay so it wasn't just me. Of course, I only placed the one big order, so I needed the pin to come with it! At least CS fixed it for me. Glad you ladies are both getting one too!

Right, I am going to give them to my 10yr old daughter ; )

I caved! I ordered Betty Bright from the Pro store. That's it! So a very small haul!
