The original Archie comics debuted in 1941 (i had to look that up) and aimed to create characters who were "ordinary kids" that real ordinary kids could relate to. I would say its original readership would have been tween - between 10 and 13 or 14 - and teen boys and girls. By the time i saw Archie Comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s, i think readers were probably mostly at tween girls and a few tween boys, since the content would have been considered too "mushy" by most boys.
So, yes, "Archie" is old-fashioned and, perhaps, child-like.
The characters were mostly high school kids (in the US ages 14-17), but included teachers, the school principal, parents, etc. The main characters were the red-headed Archie who had crushes on the blonde girl-next-door Betty and the brunette elegant and spoiled rich girl Veronica. His side-kick was the goofy Jughead, who wore a REAL felt beanie (not a knit cap). And his nemesis was the arrogant rich kid Reggie, who assumed that Veronica was his.
So "Archie's Girls" represents more innocent and optimistic days, when exchanging a kiss was a really big deal.

That's probably the exact right size for a mini brush set. I have a bag from some set that looks right around the same size.

I am most excited for the 2 Pearlmatte Face Powders (especially the pink one -> Veronicas???),the pigments (green
the blushes and the Rich Spoiled Eyeshadow Quad.
I will also get some lippies and lipglosses but lip products won' t be the major part of my haul.
Hopefully that the lip and/or eye pencils are not permanent ones.I always love to see some pretty LE shades!
found these as well! I tried to zoom in on the pictures of the actual products, however, the quality isnt that great on the pics

Exactly! I'm hoping that since it's all Valentine-y that it will be out before Feb. 14, but how soon before is what I want to know. I need to save up for this one!

The peralmatte formula is relatively new to the line. The were first introduced in the MAC in Lillyland collection from 2010 with the MAC Pearlmatte Face Powder that was more of a bronzer/hilighter for warm medium tones. The Vera pearlmattes where definitely blush shades and the second time they were released. They are slightly dewy due to a shimmer section in all of them.I saw the Vera pearlmattes and they look like blushes. Are pearlmattes typically like that? Or something different? Do they really serve as a mattifying product? Cause I have dry skin on my cheeks. Sorry for the noob questions and TIA.
Is anyone else reminded of physicians formula face powders with the hearts in these. lol

The brush is $41 Cdn (higher than the USD at the mo) and there is 13% tax. If you can find it at a CCO, it would be much cheaper. If you can't, let me know.I think I should. Thank you, Mac-Guy!
I can't believe I missed 167SH. I was a bit too late. Enjoy yours Gracie.
