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

what lipstick are you wearing and blush?

 

[BlissfullyYours]

Nope! Prom Princess is more magenta and has a silver sheen; Passionately Tempted is a deeper purple with sparkles. I can swatch in a second if you'd like.

same here! Ive got both blushes also

So I went back to the MAC store today and picked up Mall Madness and Girl Next Door. I paired both colors together later on today with Current lip liner. (Pic was taken outside).
I tried Boyfriend Stealer but it came off way to vampy. IDK, I may give it another shot...

Here are Prom Princess (loaded up on a giant eye brush and swiped three times) and Passionately Tempted (loaded and swiped once) in outdoor sun, outdoor shade, and gross bathroom lighting:




Prom Princess is the left; Passionately Tempted on the right.



Passionately Tempted on the top; Prom Princess on the bottom. And some dead leaves and cigarette butts on the right. Don't tell me how to live my life!!



Prom Princess on the left; Passionately Tempted on the right.

It's splitting hairs; my camera phone has seen better days but there is a definite sheen on Prom Princess versus undeniable sparkles in Passionately Tempted IRL. If you have PT and a) you're not a blush hound, or b) need every single purple/magenta blush in the world (

), then you can do fine with one and take the $22 saved towards a pigment or the brush set. Personally, I think Prom Princess is easier to blend and more wearable; however, I did have to swipe three times to get it to show up that deep. Passionately Tempted took one swipe with the eye brush. Your mileage may vary and with an actual blush brush.

Also, I think Night Blooming comes off slightly brighter than Daddy's Little Girl, but I am sucker for those types of colors so I bought both. May swatch both if my camera phone allows.

I think that this is accurate because the top swatch is noticeably more magenta. And PP creates a soft pink look. I like it. =}

it's a really pretty combination on you.

 

[kaira]

Wow, gorgeous look!! May I ask what is on your cheeks?

 

[Miss Dynamite]

Did anyone get Betty's pigments? Any thought? TIA!

I'm loving them, very pretty colors and I did a look today with Lucky In Love. They are both much prettier irl than in swatches.

wee update. flatter me (light part) looks excellent all over the face on me (nc43/matchmaster 6.0)
doesn't look shimmery or weird. in fact, i think the silk stocking analogy elegant used was quite apt....
i wore it over a little bit of prep and prime skin enhancer in recharge in some areas, the mickey contractor skin corrector in other areas. strangely didn't feel i needed any concealer or foundation!

 

[patentg33k]

If anyone is on the fence about Veronica Prom Princess get it get it get it get omg. So perfect on NC15/20.

 

[elegant-one]

Just received by brush set...and while they are cute I'm a little disappointed. While they are super cute, the bristles are already falling out and splayed. They are all in the little plastic sleeves, but it didn't seem to help. Did I get a dud?
They probably won't get returned, but it's a little disappointing to have brand new brushes already all roughed up.

Poo...

Ahhh, really? Was that after you used them, or did they come that way? I haven't lost any bristles & I've used them quite a bit.

I so agree!! I use a swirl of the base and hearts just over the top of my cheeks then the base all over. It makes my skin have a nice glow. I can't decide if I want to track down a BU.

Hi makeupites .. So, today I purchased my first NARS product! I bought "persia' eyeshadow and NARS light reflecting setting powder (loose).. I saw all the rave about it and decided to buy it. I went to Sephora's this morning and tried it on, I really love it!! For my first purchase, I am absolutely thrilled

 

[CartoonChic]

My lipstick BUs and brush set were delivered. I didn't see my packing slip in my box. I thought it was either left out or maybe put into someone else's box by mistake. Then I found it crumbled at the bottom of the box under all of the tissue paper and packing material. Someone needs more training.

The brush set is so cute. I already have the full size 226 and 266. I'm happy that I don't have most of the brushes. I was so distracted by the hearts when I ordered that I wasn't even paying attention to see what brushes come in the set.

You need to try their blushes next.
