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

[Audrey C]

I have to put on my makeup standing as well - thirty years of habit. I have one of those hinged magnifying mirrors installed on the side wall beside my bathroom vanity. I use it to apply my eye makeup. One of the things I hate most about travelling for business is that the lighting is so poor in hotel bathrooms. Ugh.

I have a two bulb fixture over my ensuite mirror and then potlights in the ceiling - I'm used to having great lighting.

It's sad to see that everybody's got their archie's stuff up on ebay and 99.5% of them use stolen or stock photos. For

sake at least take your own photos.

I know she is a member here so I'm not sure if this has been posted but Crystal is one of my favorite Youtubers and she always has great swatch videos.

I think Im finally talking myself out of the lipglosses. I just never use the ones I do have, even though they are reallly...realllllly pretty

 

[HelloBlondie]

Though, I still want Prom Princess. Gotta keep chanting to myself that I dont need it! I dont need it! Nope nope nope!

 

[Medgal07]

how do you do it right?

Look at erinmichelle87's photo & then look at T's using the same eye shadow palette. Best example ever, and was an eye-opener (no pun intended) for me---couldn't be any clearer. One was a 'DO' and the other was a 'DON"T. I'm not trying to be cruel---it was just that lucid for me.

Those are the two I wanted too I really wish they had Betty and Veronica ON them. going to try and get Comic cute later on this month just to have a mac polish with a white cap

Your addiction is showing---takes one to know one, right?

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

Ooh, I like both of those.

Thank you ladies!

Your welcome

I would say Warmth of Coral, I don't think Cream Soda would show up too much on NC40. I was going to get Cream Soda too until I saw the swatches. Christine is NC30, and it barely shows up on her.

Thanks. Now I can buy something else!

 

[Medgal07]

I am--totally. Don't tell anyone

Our little secret!

 

[Medgal07]

I'm the same way! I have to be standing.

Awwwww you're all weird too.

I have an amazing set up but it allows me to stand...right in front of my stash which is separated in drawers, by product type, in the order in which I use them & labeled by color. It just works for me.

 

[makeupgrrl]

You may want to skip them both though unless you are going for a more subdued look. Most likely it will just warm up your complexion a bit. Just curious if anyone around NC40 has Cream Soda or Warmth of Coral? How well do they show up?

Love the spoiled rich quad so far even though I know I have dupes for all the colors, I also used flatter me pm as a blush and it looked great! I was in a hurry and didnt get to take pictures though. I tried to resist going into sephora today while i was at the mall since I placed 4 pretty large orders for the AG collection... I just couldn't do it!! I got both the pressed and loose version of the Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powders... Elegant-one you convinced me I just NEEDED to pick these up!

I have warmth of coral and used it a lot last summer. It showed up really well even when I was tanned and was darker then NC 40.

i'm a little darker - nc43 at the moment, nc44/45 in the sunnier months, and i have warmth of coral....it shows up!

yes, it's a subtle effect, but it's the kind of blush that makes my complexion look like it's glowing and isn't obvious that i'm wearing blush. i also have and regularly wear legendary and launch away, which are similar but even lighter...warmth of coral shows up more strongly. none of them are ashy on me...not even launch away, though it swatches ashy on my inner wrist, it doesn't on my face. hth!

 

[ultraviolet]

can anyone tell me how similar cream soda and legendary are? trying to debate if it's a need...thanks!
