I went to a MAC S/S VIP presentation today and I saw Archie's.
All of the testers were in a glass box and they didn't allow people to test them!!! Of course, I wasn't happy at all!!!
Anyway, I just took some photos.

Girl Next Door looked like less intense version of Saint Germain cuz it's luster finish and I think it had tiny shimmer (almost iridescent sheen) when I took a closer look, but I wasn't sure cuz I couldn't test it!
Betty Bright looked similar to somewhat between Nicki l/s and Reel sexy l/s (It's peachy-coral with a hint of white, I think) in the tube and it's totally diffrent from Force of Love or Watch me shimmer.
Daddy's little girl reminded me of Outrageously Fun, but I think DLG is more intense cuz it's satin finish.

Oh and Veronica's blush had shimmer. I think it's silvery shimmer.
and Betty's blush was little darker and oranger than I expected.

I only had a chance to test Betty's pearlmatte cuz it's the only sample they allowed people to test. (It was on the presentation stage, not in the glass box.)
It had shimmer, but it's not glitter. Find shimmer with golden undertone.
The texture was really smooth and silky. It was way better than Vera's pearlmatte!!!
It was sheerer than I expected and it's like satiny-sheer finish. It didn't look chalky on my hand at least.
And it reminded me of lighter, sheerer and peachy-coral version of Immortal Flower blush!
Hmm..I just thought it's similar to NARS Deep Throat blush, but less pink and sheerer.

Thanks so much for the pics!!

I still wish that Girl Next Door was a satin or matte but hey ho!!

I like the look of Ronnie Red but the Strength collection isn't out here yet and I have my eyes on Absolute Power (I kinda loved the end of that sentence ;) )
Do you (or anybody) know how it compares to it?? Or what it compares to??

I think the only definite for me right now is Daddy's Little Girl, because that is so pretty!!

Now I can see the pics, thanks Aquamarine! I'm still interested in Cream Soda, Betty Bright and GND. Don't want to get all those items, so I need swatches. Only one lippie for me, if any, but I can't decide for now. Veronica's blush looks great there too, but I guess it would be too intense for my pale self.

I think I will need it too. I like the look of Daddy's Little Girl as well. And Betty's quad and both the pearlmattes. I am wondering if I need the tote as well!

I just noticed that Dreammaker has a Frost finish this time and not a Starflash finish.

It seems that MAC repromotes Starflash eyeshadows with a Frost finish.It was the same with the "Girl Next Door" Look in a Box.
Smoke & Diamonds and Grand Entrance do both have a Frost finish.
I was really surprised back then when I received the box.

Wtf is wrong with people? Why can't she just credit the photo and link back? Then she could still use it and there would be no problem. And then the watermark to add insult to injury.

Unbelievable. It's exactly the reason why I do not post any products pics, let alone swatches anymore.

Omg! That is dirty. Why steal ppl's pics? I am always paranoid that if I borrow a link or pic it won't post right so I double check my posts to make sure it gives credit where credit is due. This REALLY is beyond that. Borrowing is one thing but STEALING and putting YOUR name on it is an all time low.

That is ridiculous! I looked and she did that with all pictures from Specktra! If I had an Instagram account, I would make a comment.
