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

[Pretty Honeybee]

I just ordered a BU of Cream Soda blush

What a fresh & pretty soft color on.

Good for you!!!

Sorry to go off topic, but I know some of you were speaking about the Alex system from Ikea...was surfing the Internet and came across this blog called "The Frugal Closet" OMG I'm drooling over her organization of her makeup. Here's a link: http://thefrugalcloset.blogspot.ca/2011/10/ikea-alex-storage.html WOW!!!

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!

Ok thanks, now I think I need Cream Soda! I swatched it on my arm and it looks like it will be very subtle, but that's fine as long as I can see it.

Did anyone get the purple liner? I didn't want it but then I saw it on T and I liked it. A lot. But then I swatched it at the store and wasn't impressed.

 

[Debbs]

Maybe its the white packaging............maybe its me but everything looks so pretty its like contaminating a sterile field touching my items. The only sorta disappointment I have so far is with the Young Heart Mirror. I guess I expected more in terms of size, thickness and overall durability aspect. Just appears a tad bit flimsy esp for the price IMO. Did anyone else get the mirror?

 

[Prettypackages]

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.

lol!!!

I am debating the same. I absolutely love it.

 

[luvlydee]

i got my stuff today wooo. Girl Next Door is def not for me. nah uh! hate it. Ronnie red is whatever. It't not as pink as it showed up on some lovely ladies here but thats good but i feel like i dont need a back up. Daddy's little girl is pretty and betty bright - oh yes how bright and beautiful it is it looks peach in the tube but pink on my lips. me likey. swatches will be up tomorrow im just beat from coming home from the city and i want to relax, eat ice cream and watch The Bachelor lol

 

[bambiraptor]

Ugh, I keep going back and forth with Girl Next Door. I really want it but I just spent $350 on some amphibians for my lab.....

However my package did come with Flatter Me and the wrong lipstick! I ordered Oh Oh Oh but I got Daddy's Little Girl. I gotta call them up to see what they want me to do..

 

[ExoticChick]

sorry it didn't load. Here's a comparison of legendary and Betty creamsoda!!!

 

[BBmorgan]

My first box arrived today. I got RR, DLG, BB, both PMs and the brush set. Mall Madness is coming tomorrow and I pre-saled Past Curfew and Strawberry Malt at my counter last week so I'll get those on Thursday and possibly a few other things. At the time my counter only received 1 Past Curfew so I caved even though I had only seen Karen's post on the collection. It's a nice berry so I'm looking forward to wearing it for Valentine's day.

I was thinking about backing up Flatter Me just for the cuteness, but that's crazy right?

 

[valkolak]

Aww, thank you!! Have you tried lining it?

No but I want to pick up NYX dolly pink liner and try that.

I AM SPEECHLESS. The dividers she made were incredible.

Thanks for sharing, SRICH76!

 

[luvlydee]

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.

awesomeness i got the same things minus the quad like you. what did you think about girl next door. i hated it on me

 

[erine1881]

You look gorgeous! Wow!  This swatch finally convinced me to go out on Thursday and get Cream Soda.  Legendary looks lovely as well, shame on me for not buying it.

I have one in my sale thread if you're interested.

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?

Absolutely! As for pink cult, I'd wear it with all shades of pink-light and dark. And anything purple as well.

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

I've never seen mufe 18c, but i just paired BB with Ls and it was perfection! Definitely more coral, less pink.

Did anyone get the purple liner? I didn't want it but then I saw it on T and I liked it. A lot. But then I swatched it at the store and wasn't impressed.

It's perm, so not many people did. Why pay extra for just the packaging?

You might as well write my shopping list, because I end up buying everything you recommend anyway.

Needless to say, I want Cream Soda again, after the recent pics&swatches.

Everybody looks so beautiful with their Archie's goodies!
(And is there anyone who hasn't bought the Nars powder yet?

)

 

[Medgal07]

Off topic but I just ordered the Nars powder after Elegant One mentally twisted my arm from reading her review

If you can't lick em---join em

Thanks to Elegant-One, we'll all be glowing!!!

ME! I have managed to hold my ground.

 

[scarlettb]

I got my package today! I must say I'm in love with DLG and BB. I'm dissapointed with GND, I feel like it makes my lips look white and washed out. I also got both PM which I feel don't do nothing to my face, am I doing something wrong? I also love cream soda, it's such a beautiful blush that I will be buying a backup for.
