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

[angieangel]

Hello! Stop lurking! Come chat with us, we don't bite *promise*! hehe I love the eye look! Oooh are the pearlmatte's pretty for WOC?

Thanks! I bought both but only tried Flatter Me. I like it, but I'm not sure if I love it. I'm more of a sheen/shimmer highlight type of gal (think whisper of gilt, semi precious pearl, or The Balm mary loumanizer, even shell pearl floats my boat). I did put it over a powder though, I wonder how the finish would be over liquid foundation directly.

LOL, get it!!!!!! One of my favorite blushes of all time was Hipness from Fafi, and I haven't liked that many corally-oranges since then. I have a ton of different blushes, but somehow I always feel like they end up looking like the same on. I think this is one I'll be reaching for a lot. (Maybe as much as I reach for my favorite-Prim & Proper!)

I'm NC40, too, and if I pick up Cream Soda it's allll youuuurr fauuulllttt (it looks GORGEOUS on you).

Sorry meant to quote you!

Hi Everyone! I rarely post, but I lurk almost everyday! I just wanted to share my look using the Spoiled Rich quad. I was really nervous because I ordered it before T's swatches and review came out. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! It definitely looks better on than judging on swatches alone. I'm also wearing Cream soda blush, and Flatter Me pearlmatte over and slightly above it to highlight. Sorry about the lighting, I was only able to take this picture after work today. I'm NC 40/42 for reference!

Omg I love this eye look so pretty:eyelove:.

Of course it would be rainy and miserable on the day the collection launches in stores. *sigh*

It's been great reading about, and seeing, everyones hauls.





This is a picture of me with Archie from the party here on Tuesday evening.

Oh how fun!!! I'm taking my son out of school early to come with me. He's so excited!

 

[Miss Dynamite]

Blah, so annoyed that about an hour after I placed another order, they released that email with the free overnight shipping code...damn you, MAC!

 

[MacNcheese]

I finally got all of my stuff. Woohoo!! *Throws confetti*

 

[Knope2012]

Thank you all for the extra sweet comments! I hope to do some more looks as I get the rest of my products. I kind of have skipper's remorse for the brushes now. I'll grab them if they come back in stock. What brush is everyone using for Prom Princess? It's super pigmented and is a lot with my fa skin unless I really buff it down.

I get to go to MAC today *happy dance*. We are expecting a foot of snow tomorrow morning so I think everyone is going to try and go today instead. it's going to be more crowded than normal UGHHHHH that's ok though. I have a few things on hold. Some collections sell out in an hour near me and some don't sell at all.. we shall see which it is.

I have the same problem. I own some permanent satins and they do not do that on me too. BB is a high maintenance satin! It hates lip balm residue directly underneath. I find I need to blot out the lip balm or let it get absorbed for awhile before I put BB on because it slips around with the residual lip blam and look marblized and uneven. What I do is prep my lips in advance. I don't swipe lip balm on the moment before I put BB which sucks bec I've done it everyday and no other lipsticks gave me trouble. It looks a little washed out too (on me at least) if I get any darker than NC 30. Don't know if I would trade away my backup in the future. I might hold on to it for now.

O.k. Not a fan of BB. Who said it needs exfoliation.oh boy it needs a lot of that. Satins do not give me this problem but this one does. Not so sure that I needed a BU of it which I ordered from nordies,but at least nordies has free shipping returns. Will try it again tomorrow after I prep my lips today. Even the first candy yum yum did not give me that

Hi angie! That's a beautiful eye look. I shouldn't have seen this before going to the mall.

 

[Knope2012]

For those that were wondering about my chiropractor appointment, I just found out I have a badly pinched nerve in my neck, a bulging disk, and some of the vertebrate in my back have shifted. It looks like ill be having appointments three times a week for a while. I see lots of retail therapy coming on!

liquid liner lover does a beautiful eye look with the green betty pigment. and the neutral betty quad.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neSXWO1niSk

Thanks! I love her vids!

Don't say that, I was ready to rule that one out lol there are face charts on the site i bookmarked it http://www.maccosmetics.com/images/looks/print/archielooks.pdf .

Thanks! I love face charts. Funny thing about Betty I dot remember her having freckles back in the day when I was reading the comics. Does anyone remember if she had them or not?

One of my favorite youtubers did a tutorial using the Caramel Sundae quad, Lucky In Love and Magic Spells pigments and Nicki2.

Yes she's a favorite!

 

[MacNcheese]

I love, love, love my lippies (BB, DLG, RR). BB is probably my favorite though. I put it on and then lined with cork liner and it is FANTASTIC! I didn't have a problem with peeling but I do exfoliate my lips often and put on balm before all lip products and right before I go to sleep. I will try to take some pics this weekend and post them.
