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

[Audrey C]

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like this is everybody's longest running money hole spending spree on any collection in a long time.

Not mine - I only got two items for myself.

I did, however, buy four items as gifts but they don't count.

So far my biggest hauls have been Hey Sailor, Heavenly Creatures and Marilyn (mostly because of my backup orgy of Forever Marilyn - got a bit carried away there). I was building last year, so this year I am aiming for more restraint.

Girrrrl tell me about it, lol. Im all daydreaming about Veronicas Blush & Kiss MeCoral l/g. I got my mom to gift me the Caramel Sundae Quad for Valentines Day. Lol, no more. But whats this talk of Nars Reflecting powder and God Created Woman Quad?;P

Oh my gosh the palette is so pretty!! I keep debating on buying it but Im worried its a tad too close to the same colors as my naked palettes

 

[Slimmycakes]

Waaahhhh, of course I miss the restock on both sites. If anyone has a BNIB Ronnie Red that they're willing to part with, please drop me a message. Would greatly appreciate the gesture.
In other news, all of you ladies who posted your Archie's looks, y'all look gorgeous! Very inspiring, very enabling.

Medgirl, Whenever you post pictures of your palettes I get so jealous! They are so lovingly organized it makes my OCD tingly senses activate!

Now I'll be daydreaming about it too LOL. And I gave my UD Naked 2 to a friend (a Latina) sooo this one I shall see if I liketh in person. I wonder how the taupe will look, I seem to have a problem with them being too ashy looking on me.

I don't blame ya! I keep talking myself out of CS

 

[GlamQueen21]

I ended up getting both of the PearlMatte powders and then 1 lipstick from each girl. lol.

lol! This collection is so tempting! It is worse than Shop/Cook collection from last year!

 

[sss215]

I got the last Flatter Me from the counter at my Nordstrom today. I needed to have it for the packaging and to add a little sheen to my matte orange blushes.

I forgot to post this when I went to pick up my Archies Girl's stuff!
Here is the Spoiled Rich Quad Swatches AND a Nicki Minaj Lipstick Bonus (I don't remember why I swatched it. I have NO idea how to wear her lipsticks. LOL.)

Hi guys! I haven't posted in a minute but I wanted to share my look for Valentine's Day. I have some great red lip earrings so I just wanted to wear red lips to match those. That's it - red lips and mascara! I can't rave enough about Ronnie Red and Strawberry Malt. I rarely wear reds because I think they 'age' me but I am love with this combo. Also, NYX Plush Red liner was a perfect match for Ronnie Red for my NC45 skintone. I hope you all like!

Just go right on over to youtube and search for viva glam nicki 2 and I'm sure you'll find a couple vids with ideas on how to wear it. I've only worn it with Nightmoth lip liner and Revlon's Lilac Pastelle gloss so far. Loved it!

I'm in the process of putting together my new double-sided palettes and I'm trying to figure out if I have enough room to make labels like Medgal has! It seems like so little space between colors, but clearly it's possible to fit labels in there somehow...guess I just need the right label maker! Yay, project!!!

......awesome haul, Naughtyp

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like this is everybody's longest running money hole spending spree on any collection in a long time.
