I skipped on all lip sticks except boyfriend stealer just because I had yet to buy a purple lip stick and I bought cream soda just because I liked the packaging lol but now I'm worried I should have bought Betty bright. Does anyone know how it compares to reel sexy? Sorry if that's been asked

There's a video on page 343 with the comparison.

@Michelle79 You haaaave to lol! It's sooo nice, and it doesn't look all ashy either! (I can't say the same for Veronicas Blush. I need to re-try that one again.) Plus it has nice color/pigmentation by itself, I just wanted to wear the blush.
And no it's not! It's Seductive Intent mattene. If you want to see the difference I can swatch it for you? I think someone said that are comparable/dupeable. But I'd keep both if they are! I'm not sure if I can secure a SI BU anymore.
Y'all are bad! I am not buying Flatter Me!

Seductive Intent looks good on you. No need to swatch I don't need to be trying to hunt down anything else.

Flatter Me PM over Prom Princess. Don't you just love the pearly sheen?! I loooove it!

Like I said yesterday, if you haven't got it, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Lol.

For reference I am Matchmaster 7.5 / Bobbi Brown Walnut 7.5/ MAC NC50 (as suggested by others)/ DiorSkin Nude Mocha 6.0
Both look AMAZING on you!

I really wish I used my spektra account more :( I thought Betty bright would be too bright (I've never actually wear my bright corals) but it definitely looks like its wearable on tan skin

You said you're in suffolk, right? Did you hear about smith haven mall? The roof was leaking in a few spots, and then it partially collapsed in one or two places!!! Been getting conflicting information on if it was one or two places, but one of those spots might also have a problem with flooding now, which makes sense since it collapsed because of all the heavy snow and ice that must have crashed in when the roof went. Craziness!

So yes, I'm sure that at least at that mall, they couldn't have sold too much today since they had to evacuate

ETA: It may have just been multiple leaks in the roof. You know those initial news reports...the story keeps changing. But the mall was definitely evacuated for whatever it was!
i didn't hear it 'collapsed' just that it had major roof leaks and they feared it collapsing but i could be wrong. Walt Whitman, the next mall near there closed due to gas leaks

Thank you Kaira!! And I loooove it! I never thought that the PM's were all that, just because they are all cute but I LOVE LOVE the pearly glow!! I don't even think Stereo Rose MSF (the only one I have hehe) can't beat this!
Thank you so much @BeautyByLele!! I promise I'll get those other pics up, I just rested today lol. At least swatches!
Thank you @Dilligaf!! It is definitely not a blush to pass up for blush newbies like me. <3 Have you gotten anything from this collection?
FYI, you are super pretty! I love your natural hair! I can't wait till mines get's longer haha. But short-medium hair is cool too lol. Less product = more $$ for makeup.
Boyfriend Stealer is amazingly creamy. I swatched it in store and was blown away by the creaminess. Though it's strange that it's like... sheer? But I think it's buildable. I haven't tried it on yet! LOL I know what you mean. That sounds like beyond gross lol. Plus it's all rainy, I bet it will catch raindrops lol.
I know how you feel! I truly want Kiss and Don't Tell l/g but I need to save $$ for the bigger things in this collection. Besides! I think FG will be in stock, unless someone busts out some amazing swatches.

@hwdsprincess THANK YOU!! That is such a SWEET story! I bet your TA was beyond flattered (as I am!) That is such a blessing that she was still there because so many people have lost their jobs or had to relocate =/. BTW, from your picture Your skin looks smooth and pretty! But I totally agree with the SPF. I went to college in a desert area and discovered the results of sun discoloration/damage. SPF and Vitamin C. I think as long as you aren't living outside in 100 degree weather our skin should survive. Heat and Cold are crap for skin lol.

You gals are AWESOME! And for those considering Flatter Me, at least try it! Even if you have Passionately Tempted from TT, it only getting more magenta with layering, whereas this blush on my skintone turned more pink.
Thank you...It's always hard to balance my natural hair product junkieism and my make up purchases lol

My Archies Girls brushes are washed and I'm ready to report that:


  • the 226 is the scratchiest of them all. Not outrageous by any means; think along the lines of Sonia Kashuk travel brush sets. I can see what Temptalia means by bulbous, too.
  • the 167 is the softest.
    eyelove.gif
    It feels just like a permanent MAC face brush.

  • the 168 is cushy but tightly-packed
  • the 242 is like butter and did so well packing on pigment
  • the 266 is as stiff and soft as you would hope.

Now I have to stop myself from getting Lucky in Love pigment and Boyfriend Stealer (sheer, yes, but I think I like that).
