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

[OctoberViolet]

Girl Next Door is from Betty (light pink). I only looked up the items I wanted, sorry. When I saw it was a lustre I was like no thank you lol.

Cream Soda looks suspiciously like a combo of Immortal Flower and Poised, so unless it's drastically different in person and super amazing when applied, I'm not having a hard time resisting. It might be harder to resist Prom Princess, unless it looks the same as Passionately Tempted or maybe Vintage Grape, when blended out.

Yes it's not the blushes.

It's only 1 per girl.

Cream Soda - Betty
Prom Princess - Veronica

I literally just got back from Nordies and looked at it myself and preordered my goodies.

thanks!! ill be getting both blushes

Those are the names of the Veronica Lip Glasses, FYI. It's so hard to take it all in when getting those peeks at the book - I sure know the feeling.

Thanks, I took a quick snap shot and it cut off what was what lol

Thank you so much for posting the finishes of the lipsticks and the color descriptions for the items, SRICH76 and Lady Misfit.

Is Sweet Something a glaze, frost, or a lustre? That one was the only one that felt a bit left out on the description, lol.

I'm sorry I didn't look up anything else other than the ones I wanted for myself.

I really hope Cream Soda isn't like that. I swapped my Immortal Flower because it didn't show up on my skin and I didn't like the way how Poised looked in swatches so if it's a IF-P combo I'm def gonna skip.

Poised is gorgeous - it's like two shades darker than Amber Glow and one step more brown/peach. Looks so good on the apples of my cheeks with Taupe Shape as contour or as a contour itself with Amber Glow as the highlight. I'm a fan of Immortal Flower too - that one looked good on me and not powdery, even though it was so light.

I think from the few pictures we've seen, Cream Soda will be in the same peachy family, but a little more universally wearable and more feminine.

I went to my nordies today and they wouldn't let me preorder at all. Booo. Not that I know what I want but still.

I remember you mentioning that e/s in another thread somewhere - it sounds divine! Emerald green is my favourite colour, and I believe also the colour of the 2013 or something, so I'm hoping we'll get lots of gorgeous greens this summer

Me too. And It's my birthstone.

Well, it's finally confirmed! People are going to be really happy!

I can probably get my MA to give me a sample of the green pigment. They give so much it would last me forever I'm sure.

I never ask for pigment samples, but you know, that's a good idea! I think I will go for it this time, if I can ease it into the conversation….
