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

[tats]

Any suggestions on a lip liner for boyfriend stealer l/s?
Also, am I they only one who likes girl next door l/s from this collection? I am around NC20 and it looks great for a blue based pink and I love the milkiness of it.
I think I still need to get cream soda blush and I will be done with this collection..)

Personally I'd skip liner for Boyfriend Stealer because it's rather sheer. If you want it less sheer, then I guess I'd pick a liner like Just Wonderful or maybe Night Moth if you want super vampy.

Oh no! I'm sorry about that. I bought Cream Soda (I'm NW20) but, I haven't received it yet. I am really debating PP, but am unsure. I asked for feedback a couple of pages back. I have full cheeks, so I worry it will look horrible and clowny on me.

Well I'm a lot darker than you, I NEVER even thought of getting cream soda I was so like eehh whatever don't care about it, if anything I was interested in prom princess well I went to Macy's the day of the launch for prom princess and Ronnie red and well they didn't have it so I was like just give me cream soda...and can I say I LOVE IT,!! Omg it's so pretty it's natural looking on me, I like it way better than prom princess....if u haven't got it yet I suggest you try it at the store first... But that's my suggestion lol I should of took my own advice but it was like a heat of the moment I need it!!!

Our schools are closed again tomorrow too!!!! The malls opened for a few hours today, i think i will call up and see if they have RR or BB or something for anyone still looking. so far since launch date the 4 malls near me were open 5-6 hours in total so can't be too sold out

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 used Nightmoth liner with Boyfriend Stealer and loved it

Thank you. It seems a bit uneven when applied, because it's sheer I guess, but I want to try it with a liner.. thanks for suggestions..)

Try applying a light layer then blotting, then a second layer (it'll still be a bit sheer this way, but not uneven)

Also, it looks EXTRA gorgeous applied in a medium layer then blotted down - that's my favorite way with it by far!!! I wasn't even going to buy it, but when I tried it and then blotted it, I loved the look so much it got added to my haul right then and there.

I'm trying not to buy Lucky in Love pigment. Does anyone have gilded green pigment and lucky in love pigment so I can see comparison swatches? TIA

I have Gilded Green p/g and orderd Lucky in Love p/g and will do a swatch comparison for you on Friday.

 

[Hazeleleanor]

thank you. It is SO hard because people say that PP is a must for my skintone and some say it looks bruised. I really wish snowmaggeden would stop so I could actually get to Mac in person.

Did you purchase Feelin Good with this?
When I arm swatched it, it was such a gross looking brown color... I did not want to try it on my lips.

Me too. She has her whole life to be a woman; she only has a few years left to be a girl. I really don't like seeing girls her age dressed like mid to late teens or wearing a lot of makeup. Children are naturally beautiful. For a special occasion like a banquet, maybe a little sheer wash of champagne eyeshadow. Maybe. I don't care if I'm old school; I want her to enjoy the stage she's at now and look the part. I certainly don't want her to think that that she needs to alter the way she looks naturally to be attractive.

I completely agree! I'm working in paediatrics at the moment, and I saw a baby the other day wearing turquoise e/s

She was only about 6 months old!!! I got so freaked out!

 

[michelle79]

I will not let you all talk me into getting Flatter Me!

@BlissfullyYours is that DLG on your lips?

 

[magali]

Disappointed I can't find a bu of Ronnie red. If anyone can do a CP I'd greatly appreciated! Please let me know

i can't get my hands on one ronnie red let alone a back up. my counters only got a few each which wreaks. i guess it wasn't meant to be. mac website says coming soon now and i just don't have the energy to stalk. today i got my archie's girls advert from mac in the mail today so I'm happy about that.

I only picked up prom princess and daddy's little girl.

LOVE IT!!! Your skin is so beautiful!! When I was in kindergarten the teacher assistant was a WOC and I always told her I wanted skin like hers because it was so smooth and I loved her color(skin close to yours).... I seen her when I took my daughter to sign up for preschool (20 years later from when i saw her) and her skin was exactly how I remembered her.... I asked her how she kept it so good lol and she said just cause I'm dark does not mean SPF is not important to me, so I forever take her advice

 

[michelle79]

I'm with you Sass, I don't think Ronnie Red & me are meant to be. I never had so much trouble looking for a lipstick in my life.

It's my own fault.....I should've gotten it when I had the chance.
