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

I picked up RR last night. I didn't own a red so I got it. Love it.

I know I'm late with this comment, still playing backwards catch up with the thread, this is stunning!! You look strikingly similar to the actress that plays Morgan Brody on CSI: Las Vegas in this shot. Here's a link with photos - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0363699/

Thank you, that is so sweet of you to say! Now about the NARS powder that I DO NOT NEED: Is it anything like the loose white powders (like MUFE)? I feel like those really leave a white cast on me.

No, it is not at all like the MUFE powder. I did not care for that powder. The Nars is clear & leaves no white powder, residue, ghosting at all. I haven't had a chance to test the pressed powder yet, but I'm sure it will be equally as wonderful.

Cream Soda is REALLY pretty & even prettier with Flatter Me over it

Hmmm...now I am really curious!

Legendary on the left, Cream Soda on the right for anyone wondering how they compare. I love Cream Soda!!!

Awesome. I am justified in having both!

 

[Michelemu21]

I would go with the quad. But I have so many lippies that I doubt I'll need a BU anytime soon. Just my 2 cents.
You look fabulous!

Yes I agree.

So I got my RR today in the mail yay and put it on. Then I told husband I was thinking of DLG and he went strait to google to see what it would look like. He clicked on images and he said I don't know and I said no no you can't go by her lips thats Temptalia and she is darker than I am {he clicks on picture preview and gives me a look} I say see click that one it is allura and he clicks on it and then says okay you spend way too much time doing this if you can tell the difference between people by a shot of their lips

SIDENOTE: Does anyone know how to fix the glass/hard plastic part on the blushes? Someone got upset with me a trashed my makeup stash (mainly my MAC stuff) and like... 3 of my blush plastics are disconnected from the container... Can blushes survive without the top part?? Cause one of the plastic tops are missing completely...

I'm sorry but that's grounds for an a** kicking

I've given up trying to keep up with this thread.

I got my black box today: Ronnie Red, Daddy's Little Girl and Betty Bright. Bretty Bright is indeed bright on me. I used Auburn lip pencil to make it work better with my skin tone. I'm tempted by BUs of Ronnie Red and Daddy's Little Girl. I went and got myself a Nordstrom card, so I'll wait to Thursday so I can start earning Nordstrom Notes.

It looks amazing on you, and I love your curly hair. So jealous.

:lol: that sounds like something my SO would say. Did he say you can have DLG too?

Wow, gorgeous! Your hair is beautiful too.

He is a red only kinda guy... I buy the pinks and plums and purples anyway but knowing him he will send me to store to try and back up RR and I will snag em then. In the years that I have known him I have really educated him regarding colors. I remember when we were dating I was getting ready to go get a mani and asked if he had a color preference and he said red. I was all what do you mean by red? I wear red {at the time Essie Wicked which I liked just a wee bit more than Chanel Rouge Noir which I also own} and he was red. Red like a stop light? a corvette? a cherry? tomato? what do you mean red? Now you all know there are a zillionty shades of red and so he is at the point where he looks at pictures and says that looks like it will pull orange or oh that one looks good

I am holding out hope he will grow to appreciate other colors tho he does like them on me when I do wear them.

RR pulls pink on me and I do love it.

Love the perks of having a Nordstrom Card. Your first $100.00 spent gets you a $20.00 note!

Awes. That's still sweet that he knows his reds though. It's a start.

Soooo happy my items finally came!

 

[elegant-one]

I am LOVE LOVING both Pearlmattes

They are sooooooo smooth & they are great for highlighting. I just used my finger to pick up some from the lighter part & used it under my eyes, eyelids, cupid bow etc. They gorgeously color correct/highlight all in one. I used the Nars pressed powder under my eyes & eyelids & then used the pink part of the pearlmatte over that. Its great for those blue/red/dark areas. The Flatter Me one works better on the face to correct/highlight than the eye area. For me, these were the winners of the collection.

Having said that, the blushes & lipstick colors are all Beautiful on! My only tiny tiny disappointment was I wished RR would have been a bit more red on me. But, its still a gorgeous color & works really well with both blushes. Strawberry Malt is so darn sexy pretty. The rest are coming tomorrow. What a lovely collection of colors.
