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

My order came...yayyyyy..quick lip swatches :

 

[linotte]

My first package came today! Here are lip swatches for two of the lipsticks.


Betty Bright
I panicked a little when I first opened the tube because, to me, it almost looked neon orange and not exactly how I expected. However, applied, despite its pigmentation, this one definitely pulls much pinker on me. It's a bright but definitely not over-the-top coral in my opinion.


Daddy's Little Girl
Really nice magenta color. I wouldn't call this a pink at all, myself, but it's not necessarily a purple, either. It's just a bright magenta kind of color.

For reference, I'm NW20.

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

Yup! Yup! I left the store with my temp card to order some more Archies online. The MAC counter wasn't taking preorders. Then I saw I couldn't order anything online because I don't have the three digit security code yet. That'll be on my real card. I wasn't about to miss out on a $20 note, so I called the store and bought some Chanel stuff over the phone. I'll pick it up Thursday when I go in for Archies.

got my first round of products today, i love both blushes and cant believe the betty shadow pallette didnt get much love from T I really like it! its smooth and blendable for me, just what i was looking for as far as a more neutral palette to wear with a few of my brighter lipsticks. now, only got betty Bright and am still on the fence about it..Flamingo and VG Nicki 1 are two of my fave lipsticks and I felt this one would be along those lines...but its pulling a bit more yellow than i would like. . maybe need to brighten it up with a gloss or lipliner. . anyhow ill probably get the ronnie shadow palette next a few glosses and maybe ronnie red..that color just looks better and better the more i see it on others..lol..im going to make a quick list for my counters event so i can try and get the rest of what i want there.overall very happy with packaging, and the products i got.

Oh wow, glad you are OK!! You should totally shop more, retail therapy + keeping so calm reward!!!

You guys are all so sweet! Between getting DLG, Betty Bright, the Glinda palette, the new NARS powder, Cream Soda, and Mall Madness, I think I have enough retail therapy for today. Thank goodness for my parents gifting me a backup car last year. I feel really, really lucky, and I'm just relaxing with my husband while he cooks us a nice dinner. I really appreciate all the best wishes and they've made my day a lot brighter.

Just received my order in the mail! I am LOVING everything, definitely one of MAC's better limited edition collections!

Here I am wearing Ronnie red and cream soda blush

Hope everyone's enjoying their goodies

Wow, both look lovely on you!! This makes me so happy I got Cream Soda blush. Hope it looks this good on me!

I got my goodies today!

I think my fave items so far are the Spoil Rich quad and BB. I'm a bit disappointed in CS and GND. But I'm wearing the quad now and I don't regret getting it. The shades work so well with each other. The only thing is I found it difficult to build up the Spoiled Rich and Ron Ron Run shades and to blend them out. But my lids were unusually dry and flaky so that may be the real culprit.
Srry the lighting is not so good. I'm also wearing cream soda here but I don't think you can see it well. It's on the top of my cheek bones.

They just look so yummy!








Here are the Caramel Sundae Quad and Veronicas Blush on darker skintones in case anyone was wondering.







I have on Ronnie Red and I used the Veronica's Blush as a highlight. It looks bad swatch (my opinion) but on the face it's a lot better but def. not a blush for my skintone.

Anyone know if fleet fast would look nice with flatter me Pearlmatte? Going through my stash of unused goodies. Also what lipstick colors would pink cult go with?

 

[elegant-one]

Valkolak & Kimbunney - You ladies look FABULOUS!! The colors are so stunning on both of you

Now I am thinking about the SR quad.ugghh

kimbunney - that blush looks so fresh & pretty on you. You sure you don't like it?

 

[Knope2012]

I have Fast Fleet, and I think it would look lovely with Flatter Me! I'm not sure what lipsticks Pink Cult goes well with. I like it with Hot Chocolate and with some of my brighter lipsticks, but it's hard for me to find a balance sometimes.

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

A few quick swatches ... RR, DLG, BB

Thank you!! I have on Fast Fleet/Fleet Fast lol the one from Hey Sailor blush and I used Veronica's Blush as a highlight because its too much silver in it to pick up the red tone hearts. I like it as a highlight on my face yes but when I swatched it first I was a little scared .lol

 

[B7uemo0n]

Opinions on Lasting sensation or 18c from make up forever for BB? Would like it to pull more coral.

Yeah its hard to get the color from the little hearts, I used my finger to pick up color from the hearts, & then applied it that way to my cheeks & then used the whole thing over it. Kind of a pain.

You have such a beautiful great happy smile!
