Mac Archie's girls collection has arrived in the UK and i just had to get my hands on it!
I really like this collection. The packaging is cool and the colour range is nice too.
I bought 4 things from this collection and a Mac 217 blending brush, and this is going to be a review on them.
For anyone who doesn't know, Archie's Girls was a comic book.
So this arrived today (which was great as i was in a crap mood, couldn't get Beyonce tickets...)
Anyways, don't you just love the packaging!? I don't want to throw away the boxes lol
As for the 217 brush, its a good blending brush, blends very nice and i personally think its the only decent mac brush. Im not a fan of their brushes or prices! This was £17. Sigma is better and most brushes start at $10.
This pigment is from the Betty range, its called Cheers my dear! Its a light lavender colour, very shimmery but buildable, and soft! I love this colour for the eyelid, then darkened at the crease. I can do a tutorial?
This was pricey at £18, now sold out online.
The lipstick range is quite nice, i wanted boyfriend stealer in veronica's range but it was sold out online, might be able to get in stores.
I chose two lipsticks, one in Veronica's (Ronnie red - Matte) and one in Betty's (Betty bright - Satin). Both £15.50 each.
I love the packaging, especially Veronica's because i love the hair!
Ronnie red is more of a raspberry red colour, its a matte finish but not too drying. Some mac matte finishes can be really dry, i found this one to be nice.
Betty bright is a weird one, as you can see it looks coraly/peach but transfers onto the lips as more of a bright pink, but in certain lights can look coral. I'm not too bothered by that but i would suggest trying on in store before you buy if you're not keen on the idea..
The swatch on my hand looks completely different to on my lips, its like i have swatched the wrong lipstick, but i haven't! And as usual it smells good too :)
Veronica's pearlmatte face powder blush, Lovely colours, although swatches didn't show up as well as they do in person. It is £21.50.
It's a really nice highlight shimmery blush, looks great on the skin, and i think will work with any skin tone. There is another one in flatter me, which is peachy, but i just prefer the silver highlight base of this one, plus i don't have a blusher like this.
I would like to do a makeup look with these products.
Let me know what you think.
Overall my favourite range would be Veronica's, because of it's darker colours. Betty's (as with the character) is bright and girly, which is nawt my thang!
