MAC Archie's Girls Collection (available here): The ravishing rivals for Archie's affection inspire a colour collection celebrating their iconic personas. Smoulder in deep and seductive tones inspired by spoiled rich girl Veronica or beam like blonde-next-door Betty in soft and innocent shades for eyes and face. So gorgeous in exclusively designed packaging. Limited edition.

It's not every day that I splurge on MAC, and I have definitely not bought this much from a single collection like how I did with the MAC's Archie's Girls Makeup Collection. I could go on about how, to me, this collection represents a bit more than just MAC or makeup, it's about friends and doing crazy things together, but I have to confess it's also/mostly about the packaging! I am in LOVE with the ubercute hearts-and-cartoon packaging, and only the fear of credit card debt kept me from picking up every single one of the accessories too. FYI: I won't mind getting a brush set for Valentine's Day :P
I haven't yet used anything enough to review, but I sure did get the time to snap some quick photos before the sun went down. Here's a look at what I bought from the MAC Archie's Girls Collection and some swatches.
MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Lipglass - Photos and Swatches
Stay Sweet, Summer Sweetheart, Strawberry Malt, Mall Madness, Kiss & Don't Tell

 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection Lipglass - Swatches Summer Sweetheart, Strawberry Malt, Stay Sweet, Kiss & Don't Tell, Mall Madness Strawberry Malt is a little less bright than what it looks like in the swatch - my camera just goes crazy with that color! My favorites among the lipglass would be Kiss & Don't Tell, Summer Sweetheart, and Mall Madness (which I suspect might be the only one that works for me). |

 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Betty Powder Blush Cream Soda - light neutral peach |
 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Betty Powder Blush - Cream Soda - Swatch (heavy/blended) I really shouldn't have bought this blush - anything with "light" in it won't show up on my darker skin tone! It's a lovely color, though, for anyone with a lighter skin tone. |
 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Veronica Powder Blush - Prom Princess Midtone violet pink (purples and violet pinks seem to be the rule for Veronica) |
 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Veronica Powder Blush - Swatches (Heavy/blended) |

Spoiled Rich Eyeshadow Quad (Veronica) and Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow Quad (Betty)

 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow Quad (Swatches) Neutral/brown eyeshadows - of course, I love this quad! Plus, the colors seem to show up easily enough on my skin. Eyeshadows swatched dry/no primer. |
 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Spoiled Rich Eyeshadow Quad Pin-up Purple - Midtone orchid (frost) Spoiled Rich - Rich purple (frost) Ron Ron Ron - Deep navy (satin) Gravel - Charcoal (matte) |
 |
| MAC Archie's Girls Collection - Spoiled Rich Eyeshadow Quad - Swatches Eyeshadows swatched dry/no primer. Gravel was the only one that seemed a bit too powdery and a little difficult to swatch. |

ReplyDeleteHehehee :D Though, with MAC I like that stuff isn't terribly costly!
DeleteUgh! Gia!!!! Am so sorry..the comment disappeared. Blame it on blogger...am so sorrrry..

ReplyDeleteMy wishlist also keeps changing...I (and the hubby, esp the hubby) crossed out the eyeshadow palettes, but now I think I must have Spoiled Rich too :D
♥xx♥
:D :D :D I didn't want to get anything....then the gloss got on to the list..and Prom Princess..only cos it would show on my skin tone..so sensible..and see what I ended up with!!!!
DeleteDear Cynthia,
Am sure a lot of the Betty products would look amazing on you.
Kindesssttt Regards,
Enabler :angel: :halo: :P :D :D
Great swatches. I've been looking forward to this collection. I think I'm going to get the Spoiled Rich Eyeshadow Quad as I love purple shadows.
ReplyDeleteAm sure you will like this one..Well, there are probably some better colors/textures in the regular MAC lineup, but no cute packaging then!
ReplyDeleteThe packaging!!! Sigh...drool, drool. MAC press releases say they are already in stores in India but the MAC stores in Mumbai at Palladium and Altamount Road say they probably might not get this in store at all! What??? Boohoohoo, not fair.
ReplyDeleteMy lust list includes, Spoiled Rich palette, Mall Madness gloss, Prom Princess blush and Betty Bright lipstick.
Already in stores in India? That would be quite a shock..pleasant one..but shocking all right! Most stores here in the US are just getting the collection. My local store has their event on Feb 7th and the SA told me they would be getting the collection on Feb 5th. It's really nice, though, isn't it if Indian stores get collections about the same time as they release in the US?
DeleteI have been bewildered too with their "now in store" press release. Would be a dream come true if they start launching here at the same time!
Delete:D :D :D Where did you see this press release anyway?
DeleteI am seeing this post again and again like some 50 times and my stupid ph didn't let me comment here.. So once I reached home I just jumped here to leave a comment.. This is what you call a haul and I so badly wanted to buy these :P Waiting to see how you liked the lipsticks and gloss :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really like the packaging of that collection :/
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the orangy color tattoo looks fabulous on you ! :D
ReplyDeleteYa..it's the plasticky look of it, I guess. Even I thought it was a bit tacky at first, but now I sort of like it..but then I don't like the regular dull MAC packaging :D
ReplyDeleteA big fat WOW!!!! Eagerly waiting for the collection :)
ReplyDeleteHi Harman..guess it will be available in India soon enough (am assuming you are in India). Most collections seem to launch there in about a month's time, don't they?
