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

Please keep the haul pics, swatches, and lovely FOTDs coming!

GND is probably my least favorite of the lipsticks. It is more of a light pink frost and isn't very pigmented. Your natural lip color will still show through.

It's been saying coming soon for a couple of days now. When do they usually do restocks?

I'm an nw10/nw15 girl. I LOVE the prom princess blush. But I have to apply it so very, very lightly. Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic!

Wearing Prom Princess and Ronnie Red today! Please excuse the poor/yellow lighting, I had to take this once I got home after dark.

 

[Naynadine]

Cream Soda looks so good on everybody!

 

[bevcita]

Thanks kirsten! *scratches GND off the list* Hwdsprincess, Cream Soda looks beautiful and natural on you. Must have this blush ASAP!

[COLOR=4B0082]MAC shows Coming Soon for Ronnie Red. Is it worth stalking for this re-stock? Do they go fast?[/COLOR]

It is so worth stalking! I would have had 2 total but my cousin asked for one and I couldn't say no. I will be stalking the site for another BU!

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know?
Thanks!

I got my brush set today and it is SO CUTE! Tomorrow I'm going to check out the NARS powder at Sephora...I will either get a sample or come home with the loose power...

I would check out the NARS pressed powder if you are looking for more of a radiant glow to the skin. I am usually a fan of loose powders, but the NARS loose seemed to be more of a normal loose powder to me whereas the pressed really made a big difference in the luminosity of my skin. It also seemed to blur everything way better. I used a brush to apply it though, not the sponge it comes with.

well we don't fear a power outage we fear no driving for a few days until roads are clear. Where I live we ice up at a few inches and we are now expecting up to 20".

you need milk for the children and the babies they don't care if there is a storm or not. they want and need their milk LOL Especially toddlers, they depend upon it
I still have tons of dry food from the hurricane leftover so I just got fruit, milk, bread, water and hot chocolate. gotta have the hot chocolate!!


adding in: also if there is an outage, milk survives fine in snow outside

My nostalgia and love of pretty combinations is making me want even more stuff. That and a stressful week, 3 doctors visits, getting accepted to my university of choice (I'm going back to school in the Fall), and getting paid this morning. Are there any dupes for the pink in Caramel Sundae, Kiss and don't tell, or Feeling Good?

on getting accepted to the school of your choice. DaBling is much darker than Cheryl Chic, the pink in Caramel Sundae quad, however Pink Freeze is almost a dead ringer for it!

 

[Medgal07]

Ronnie Red is pulling pink and bright on me. Not sure I like it. But I'm not wearing a liner, and it is just dabbed on. My fave red will always be Runaway Red.

I am not impressed with the pink in Caramel Sundae quad at all. It is chalky, but will work in the inner corner and inner crease.
The light brown is a pretty taupe, the yellow is gorgeous, and the dark brown is nice as well. I think I really like the look I created.

Still not sure about Spoiled rich. It is calling me, although, I'm sure I can dupe it.

Flatter me does give a nice sheen, but I think it enhanes every skin imperfection on me. I'll see how it wears throughout the day.

I went for a soft look today and wore the pink, Cheryl Chic on the lid and didn't find it chalky at all. The overall look was soft, sweet & girly

 

[Medgal07]

Tried Black Poodle sample today with Shell CCB as a light base. I placed a bit in cap and sprayed Fix Plus on 286 brush. It was just plain black, no purple shimmer seen. I had to blend it out with Rich Core to make it wearable (with MM). Am I doing something wrong? I am just getting into pigments

I got Black Poodle too Debbs. I'll try it on Saturday and let you know how it turns out. I'm going to use PLW PP, Frozen Violet as a base and apply BP w/a 215 moistened w/Fix+. Fingers crossed.

 

[Medgal07]

LOL, I was wondering where you were.




I've changed my mind. The pink in Caramel Sundae is atrocious on me. Very chalky and ashy. BOOOO!!! LOL However, it could be my lack of primer and I do see it has a slightly purple sheen to it.

I find it iridescent, rather than chalky. I wore it over Painterly PP. Don't give up yet Prettypackages.

Hello ladies! Long time lurker and now I've gathered up enough courage to post Such lovely hauls throughout the thread! I just picked up Flatter Me and the brush set, which I should receive today (just the brush set though and Pearl CCB). I LOVE anything with hearts so I am pretty excited to have these in my makeup collection. Although, I wouldn't mind Veronica's Blush as well mainly to have more heart-embossed makeup but I would rather try and find my first EDSF, since I like frosty, sparkly, metallic highlighters.

on your first post...Keep on chatting!

 

[Naughtyp]

[katelyn0]

Wow, gorgeous look!! May I ask what is on your cheeks?

[honey on boost]

This is earlier in the day wearing Betty Bright lipstick and cream soda blush......I'm so glad I got this blush as I never had it on my list and its just a pretty color.

Here I'm wearing Daddy's Little Girl with prom princess blush... This blush is def pigmented so you def have to put it on with a light hand or it'll be too much.

I love both of them on you! Especially DLG

 

[honey on boost]

Finally took a pic of my AG haul. I got more than orginally planned..time to be very selective with the next few collections!
