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

[ForeverJenn]

Thank goodness that I only have outrageously fun from the Glamourdaze Collection, otherwise I would have deep buyer's remorse for splurging on Archie's Girls.

MAC Glamourdaze vs Archie's girls collection lipsticks


standard shade selection??


Anyways I'll be grabbing a darker lippie and a light pink one I think, which I didn't get from Glam.daze..)

NICE HAUL!! I hope you like your goodies!!

Here's my damage at the Archie's Girls event tonight. It was a fun time, but I'm glad I preordered because it was pretty crowded. When I was ready to leave I just went to the register and picked up my goodies. A professional photog took my picture with Archie. They will mail it to me. I'll give that to the Hubs since he's a fan of the Archie comics. I got two commemorative buttons and two heart shaped tins of candy. One will be a treat for my daughter for Valentine's Day along with a SR quad & Double Trouble NP. While there, I did a B2M for Samoa Silk e/s since it's going bye, bye. Since I was on a roll, I got three items from YOTS, Viva Glam Nicki 2 l/s & l/g and a Veluxe brow liner & brow gelcreme arrived in the mail today. The cherry on top of this massive haul will be my NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting powder which will arrive on Thursday.

This is totally OCD, but I cannot, will not reuse a dirty brush.  I wash them EVERY night (including LE brush set, brushes) in baby shampoo and several drops of baby oil.  I wet the bristles and then dip the wet brush in the soap mixture.  I rub the brush in my palm, several times clockwise, several times counter clockwise and then several times back & forth on my palm until they're completely clean.  I then rinse them really well in tepid - cool water, gently squeeze the water from the brush with a paper towel and lay them flat to dry.  I wash more than one brush at a time.  Typically, I wash like-fiber & same-length brushes together, and have washed as many as five brushes at a time. :thud:

Thank you, I will now be going to target tomorrow for baby oil : )

WOW! Had to catch up on this thread! I got my goodies today in the mail as well as getting three items from the unveiling!! It was so fun! I took a pic with Archie and it was fun! What I got from the unvieling was Flatter Me Pearlmatte Powder, Strawberry Malt l/g and Kiss & Don't Tell l/g. I am now going to wait util Thursday to either order Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte or get it in store.

I need help! I know I'm new and every time I go to quote, or post on this thread it says I need a moderator to approve my posts but, then it takes me to
the beginning of the thread and gives me an error message that tells me that my post was invalid? I've been posting for hours and only three of my posts
ended up here! What's going on? Am I doing something wrong?

I ordered DLG from a site. So that brings my haul to BBx2 and DLG. I got sucked in by the swatches of DLG!

 

[Medgal07]

So, basically, you didn't buy that much, huh

jk

Wow, great haul!!! Did you get the tins for spending a certain amount then?

LOL. Thank you. I haven't unboxed anything but the NP.
No, the event invitation had one ticket for a tin of candy & one ticket for a photo w/Archie. A friend gave me the second tin & button for my daughter

I am nw20 and I ordered Veronicas blush but it isn't here yet so I can't tell you how it looks.

If I were only going to get 1 pearlmatte which one do you think would be most flattering for somebody who is around NW15/NW20? I've been leaning towards Flatter Me because it would warm me up a bit and sometimes I need that, but Veronica's Blush is lovely too 

 I really don't think I'm going to be able to afford both. What do you guys think? Edit: I was also thinking about going with Flatter Me over Veronica's Blush because there are going to be more silvery pink based pearlmattes coming out with Baking Beauties, but I feel like Veronica's Blush might be more suited for people with cool skin so I'm super conflicted. 

 

[GlamQueen21]

^I too have my goodies unboxed and will not open them until either tomorrow or whenever I get around to play with the products lol

You're not doing anything wrong. It's just the system because you're new. I think it goes away after a certain number of posts. I think 50 if memory serves me correctly.

I have same thing. I hope it ends soon. My posts show up and they show up when you posted it so if people post 40 after you it's way back. if you click on your name and go to 'all posts' you will see them

you'll probably get this late too

I'm somewhere between NC15/NW15 and I went with Veronica's blush. I used it as a blush and it comes off as a light pink on me. It's very light but that perfect amount that doesn't look like it's wearing anything. I LOVE IT!!! I have legendary and launch away and I think they all look the same on me because i wear them so lightly

 

[Medgal07]

Really pretty swatches!!!

I received BB in the mail yesterday and I was surprised at how unique the color is. It's much pinker and less peach/coral than I thought it'd be. I posted these comparison swatches on my blog and thought it'd be helpful here too.​

Oh. Ok. Well if this posts, thanks for letting me know!

 

[Medgal07]

I was surprised by the size of the pin too!

Wow, right when I posted.. The ups guy drove behind my office (I always know when he's here because I can hear him drive by.. Hehe) and hand delivered it to me!! He's really the nicest ups guy ever!! And it doesn't hurt that he's always bringing me presents (my packages)! Woo hoo!! The pin is bigger than I thought too!!

Thanks for showing us the np!! I ordered some earlier when I ordered my lipsticks (BB and DLG) so hopefully mine will look like yours! I picked up Flatter Me pm, Cream Soda and Prom Princess blush and Strawberry Malt lipglass. they didn't have the makeup bag or brush available yet. Readdy for round 2 Thursday!!

 

[Medgal07]

I can't reload the page & my Thanks button is broke...again.

I thought the problem was the Magic Track Pad to my iMAC !!!

 

[Medgal07]

Readdy for round 2 Thursday!!

 

[Medgal07]

I got it yesterday. Ronnie Red, Daddy's Little Girl and Betty Bright. Ronnie Red and Daddy's Little Girl are my favorites, so I got BUs. Betty Bright is nice on me with a little work. I'm going to look at Boyfriend Stealer and Oh, Oh, Oh in store. Thinking about a few of the glosses, too, even though I know I don't like the tacky texture. Kiss & Don't Tell, Mall Madness and Strawberry Malt. I was hoping someone could confirm if Kiss & Don't Tell is similar to Star Quality or Astral CSG. I love me some Cremesheen Glasses!

Wish I could help you CC.

I passed on the lip glasses because I have so many already that I don't even use. I did get Boyfriend Stealer, and I have Oh Oh Oh from its original release.
