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

[B7uemo0n]

:new:  but I've been a lurker for about a month and just wanting to jump in the conversation made me join. You guys are so awesome and make me want to get dupes of everything in this collection. I picked some 3 lipsticks during the pre-launch event at the North Park mall: DLG, BB & RR. I am an NC50 in MAC for color reference. I paired BB with Vino lip liner just to tone it down a little. I may go back for BFS but it may be too dark for me but I'll give it a try.  Are the pearlmattes just meant to be a wash/dusting of color on the face? Or would y'all say ppl use it more as a highlight?

I asked about the Pearlmattes and basically they are to give a glow. Apply in place of setting powder or over setting powder.

did you get free overnight shipping? I order the Veronica's pearlmatte yesterday but no notification of my order being shipped

Yes, I got free overnight shipping with it and I did a phone order yesterday since the code will not work for me. Hopefully you'll get a notification of your order being shipped.

I was a lurker, too, until recently! This collection is what made me finally join Spektra.

From what I've read, Pearlmattes are kind of a multi-tasker. They can be used as a light blush, a highlighter, or an all over face brightener. I bought the Flatter Me Pearlmatte because I'm really new to cheek color and I thought I could use it as a light wash of color for my pale skin.

Final purchase for me on this collection, lol! I picked up flatter me, caramel sundae & for my daughter comic cutie. They even found one with Betty on it, otherwise I would've skipped that. Can't to wear those 2 tomorrow! Just waiting on nordies box to get here & I feel complete.

Macy's in Olympia Washington has everything in stock still. Westfield capital mall. I just bought back ups of all the lipsticks

Did anyone buy Oh, Oh, Oh, I feel like it's the red headed step child of the lipsticks but Temptalia has a gorgeous swatch of it that I didn't see till now

I did and I haven't played with it yet, but I love the way it swatched on my hand. Elegant one, I must confess when I picked up boyfriend stealer and more to love, i got lucky in love and a magenta liner. I really wanted GND to work for me, but it didn't do anything for me. Didn't give me the powdered sugar white lips, just ehh. DONE and done...3 orders and a trip to the store later.

It was actually first on my list! I don't have it from the first time it was around, and it looks like something I will wear more often than BB, which I also ordered. Package should be here tomorrow! Yippee!!

As promised, photos of Funtabulous and Mall Madness.

Funtabulous on the left, Mall Madness on the right. Funtabulous is richer than it appears in the swatch - too much light reflection. It's bluer than Mall Madness and has more shimmer, but that's purple and silver, whereas Mall Madness is pinker/redder with less shimmer, but it's multi-colored.

Also, is it at all comparable to NARS Gina? And if anyone has both, which would you recommend?

Yes, it will look good on any complexion!!

Thanks so much for answering my question I may go test them out after things have calmed down

[elegant-one]

I finally received Cream Soda and wore it as soon as I took it out of the black box! (~NC17 - NC 20). Please excuse the fuzziness lol. iphone pics suck . I don't know how I feel about this blush. I expected it to be more of a pale peach, but it's pulling kind of light coral on me. :/ I have similar blushes that's light coral lol. Maybe I should try Flatter Me, hmm.

Its so beautiful & cheery on you. I like how it looks on you A LOT! Your lips look beautiful in that shade too. Great look for you.

Either.... I use Cherry l/l with Russian Red l/s.

I decided to wear BB today. Not sure if I will need my BU that's on the way.

You look amazing in brights, MacJunkie85!

So, as you know, I skipped this collection, but then made the mistake of going to my Mac counter today to just 'browse'. She put on Cherry lip liner with Ronnie Red and I really liked it! It definitely leans pink on me so I passed, because I already have Love Goddess. Then I told my MA that I was hoping it compared to Ruby Woo, because I love that lippie. She asked if I tried Cherry lip liner with it and I said no. She put Cherry lip liner with Ruby Woo on top and I fell in LOVE.

and walked out of there with the lipliner, a 211 brush, Uninterrupted prolongwear eyeshadow and the 224.

Yep, just browsing....
