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

[Divinity]

I´m new in Specktra

In Spain this collection will not be available in stores until March, so I have time to decide what to get haha I´m triying to decide about getting Mall Madness, do you think it´a must have? or should i get another lipglass?

I like Mall Madness for the wearability. It's not too purple or too sparkly so you can wear it alone for a sheer look or over purple lippies like DLG to give it a little something extra.

Is Kiss & Don't Tell lipglass similar in color to Astral or Star Quality CSG?

I want to depot the blushes... do you think I can just use the ol' blowdryer to remove the glue trick? I depoted a few older blushes and had very very minor cracking on the edge but was just curious if there was a better way for blushes.

Nevermind... I just watched a tutorial on it... So maybe I wont mess up these pretty blushes.

I've been lurking around this site for a while and finally the Archie Girls Collection pushed me out of the wood work...lol! HELLO EVERYONE!!!
I've been reading the Archie Comics for years! And when I found out MAC was bringing out a collection based on the comics I was totally stoked!
Everything in the collection I absolutely love! But, my tight budget only allowed me to get a few things...lol!

MY HAUL...

Betty Bright x1
Oh Oh Oh x1
Kiss And Don't Tell Lipglass x1
Mall Madness x1
Cream Soda Blush x1

And I also got Candy Yum Yum cuz that color look SUPER neon and I rock the neon really well! lol

I'm also debating on the Flatter Me Pearlmatte and Summer Sweetheart Lipglass...But, we'll see if my bank account can afford it! lol

And right after I make that post, I'm tempted by the brush set. I was originally interested in it, but I thought I could hold out and wait for it to show up at a CCO. Elegant's in-your-face pics of the set isn't helping any.

I'm trying to hold out too CartoonChic....that means I'll have to call the CCO weekly to check after some time has passed LOL They'll probably block my number LOL

They all look beautiful on you! Sorry, you don't like GND. I love how Betty Bright looks on you!

Thank you. Betty bright is my favorite from this collection. I wud have just been satisfied with just that 1 lipstick.

You should try a really light application of GND & then use a light app of DLG over it. Its quite pretty. The reverse of what I did by using Nicki2 over DLG

Can you believe I didn't buy anything....yet.

If I had to pick 3 items, the best ones in this collection combined, what would they be?

South Asian, NC30, Brown eyes and hair, light-medium skin complexion with yellow undertones.

*asking the general public here to pick for me*

DLG, BB and MM!

Ok, I'm seeing what's so great about GND now. It has a sort of muted sheen that looks so interesting. I have to say, though, that CS is a total flop for me. It looks a little too dirty for my liking. I guess I thought it was a cleaner peach color. I might give it to my mom or maybe sell/swap it.

Found out that one of my credit cards didn't go through and my order of brushes and Flatter Me, didn't go through!! and now they are SOLD OUT on the MAC website! (I do have some MM lippys and shadows though, if anyone wants to trade?!?!)

 

[BlissfullyYours]

I can see.. Sheen lil. But I still want it!! Lol

the pearlmattes applied with a brush.  I feel like it gives a shine but no need to get both if you are a woc.  I'm going to be selling flatter me since i like how veronicas blush looks like in the pan lol

 

[EndingStart]

Bummer about the brushes (maybe you can pick them up in store Thursday) but I think most of the online retailers still have Flatter Me in stock so not all is lost!

I just ordered from Belk and I wish I would have waited and ordered more of my stuff from them. They offer free shipping on all MAC orders AND because they aren't in my state (Washington) I don't have to pay tax! (A big plus since sales tax in Seattle is almost 10%!)

Good luck and I hope you can at least get the Pearlmatte! They are so lovely in person!

It would look really pretty on your skin tone. The plain base is so nice for highlighting. It kind of has a slight lilac pink hue
