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

.... trying NOT to buy Kiss & Don't tell

 

[Genn]

I'm nc15 and I use it as a highlight. I like to use it with pink blushes like dollface or rosy outlook

Does anyone know how Veronica's Blush would look as a highlight on pale girls? I really want to buy it, but I don't think I'd like the color as a blush on me. So I'm just wondering if it could work as a highlight for someone in the NC 15-20 range.

My DLG was delivered today. Problem is, I won't be home until tomorrow. :-( I hope I love it.

I love the Spoiled Rich quad! I might have to keep the extra I accidently ordered as a back up now. Today I wore Daddy's Little Girl with it. Also Veronica's Blush and Prom Princess. <3

Co-Sign. Not all that crazy about this collection although I hauled the lipsticks (of course). I don't wear lipglasses often, at all. I have so many untouched because I like the look of the lipstick on it own and I don't have time to touch up my makeup during the day as the case with lipglasses. But something about this color keeps making me want it.. hence why it was sitting in my shopping bag this morning.

Is anyone similar to my skin tone loving Flatter Me? I'm trying to make myself like it since I purchased it :shock:

Ohhh no! I hate when that happens!

ahhhh same with me. when i went to MAC i didn't ask for betty bright, the sales lady put one in my bag (i was charged) and i didn't know until i got home. NOW, it's my favorite lipstick from the collection. LOVE it!!!! I really like the K&DT lipglass but i don't want to use it over BB and i'm not sure i'd wear it much on it's own. Maybe i should just buy it and decide later before it sells out

What I meant was, legs look nice/flawless with sheer silk stockings on than just bare skin. Makes it harder to see veins, flaws etc....softly sheer elegant looking.

and you are so right!

That sounds beautiful!

 

[KathyHC]

I got Flatter Me and Ronnie Red
Waiting on Daddys little girl and Betty bright from two swaps!
I wanted to say though, that RR is almost the same IMO to the Crimson Lipmix, idk if anyone has said so before.
If you love RR, you can always order Crimson from the Pro store

LOVE!!! Totally working for you!!!

Well between being out of town and broke I finally got to haul from this. Yay! I ordered Spoiled Rick, Veronica's Blush, Strawberry Malt, and K&DT from MAC with second day so should receive them Tuesday I hope. I ordered Girl Next Door from Belk as I missed out on all the lippies. I hope I get it from them. I'm kinda liking DLG but I have Night Blooming and Outrageously Fun so not sure I "need" it kwim? I am grateful for all the info on this site and even though I missed like a hundred pages from this thread I am glad to be able to look up people's swatches. There was no way I was gonna skip this unless it was out of my control lol.

Lovely photo Jessa---you look really pretty and Snob L/S suits you!  retty:

Thank you! I took a gamble with snob- every girl I've seen it on has been young and bronzed skin. I'm so pale it's scary but I love it regardless.

Glad you were able to haul from Archie's Girls. The photos posted here were pretty amazing...the ladies all looked so lovely in their products.

ENJOY! your goodies.

Anyone know where I can find a bu of Ronnie red, I think I got the last one in the city! But I love it so much I think I might need a backup.TIA!

 

[MACina]

....awesome, Peachsuns!

This is a nice start to the week!

I noticed how well my Archie's Girls purchases (RR, BB, Cream Soda, Prom Princess, Kiss & Don't Tell, Strawberry Malt) go with my Venomous Villains purchases (Wicked Ways, Devilishly Stylish, Darkly My Dear, Innocence Beware, Bite of Apple, Sinister, Briar Rose, Strange Potion, Oh So Fair). I would imagine the Evil Queen and Maleficient shadows, lipglasses and lipsticks would look great with the Veronica collection! I love combining collections to make new combinations!

You might just try calling around to random MAC stores in your state. They'll ship to wherever you live. Also, Nordstrom is really great for getting hard to find things. If you go in and they don't have what you want, they'll search the inventory of the other stores in the country to see if it's in stock elsewhere, then have the product shipped to you.

Definitely sounds like you should contact MAC--maybe they can tell stores if enough people tell them what is going on. I've had this happen for other lines, but I've stopped going to makeovers during big events because they are such a sh*tshow.  I think if the store/MAC doesn't hear from customers nothing will change.

I couldn't :agree: with you more! It's all a bunch of bullshit!

FWIW, I have never had a problem with Zenni or Coastal. Prescriptions have been correct and the frames have held up longer than more expensive ones *coughpradacoughcough*  To get this back on Archie's though, I think I'm going to try to hunt down a brush set. My MAC told me they were sure they'd sell out the day of the release, but I'm not sure if they have. I can deal with a few splayed hairs. 

I just got glasses/contacts for the first time a month ago. I ordered my contacts from coastal.com, as well as got my first pair of glasses from there for free! Great company!
