Hello Beauties! As I am sure many of you have heard of the new
Mac Archie Girls Collection being released in March, no one is exactly clear on the exact date! But from what I gather its March time! This fun packaging is inspired by a comic with three characters, Archie, Veronica and Betty. This collection is limited edition and features stunning products such as blushers, nail varnish, eyeshadow, lipgloss and lipsticks under either the Veronica collection the deeper shades such as berry or the Betty collection with pastel shades such as dusky pink. I liked the look of the Girl Next Door lipstick from the Betty collection. This is a lustre finish in a sheer pink. When I first opened the lipstick I was so excited! But when applied I wasnt. I was so annoyed! I applied it onto my lips and found I had to apply layers before I even saw a glimpse of pink, now I know its a lustre finish so isnt as pigmented as other finished, but I at least expected some sort of colour. When the colour could be seen it was very pale and not what I expected from the bright pink I saw in front of me. The lipstick did not last either and so I was upset to find this going to the back of the queue!
See left a swatch of the lipstick after 5 layers applied! Its got quite a lilac tinge to it and isnt what I expected.
£15.50
Have you found the same or is it just me?

DeleteOh how did you get this? I want the pearlmatte veronica powder! i think its out the 7th march! normally the first thursday of the month x
ReplyDeleteI wanted that too! Am going to save my pennies now :) xxx
DeleteOhhhh so sad that pigmentation is so poor. I would stay away from this.
ReplyDeleteYes its a shame it didnt work for me xx
DeleteBoooo that sucks it looks like such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteYea i thought it was going to be super pretty :( xx
DeleteLove this collection it's too bad it didn't have better pigmentation.
ReplyDeleteYea, think mac have done better collections xxx

ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty colour xxx
DeleteAw it's a shame this one didn't work for you :( x
ReplyDeleteYea, contemplating whether to sell it in a blog sale :S xxx
DeleteThat's such a a shame - I tried Daddy's little girl in store and that one is much brighter. I bought the Veronica's Blush pearlmatte powder and love it (mostly for the heart design though, he he)
ReplyDeleteThat blusher looked gorgeous!!! :) xxx
DeleteLustre finishes don't tend to be as pigmented or as even which is a shame, they just don't translate particularly well. Layered and worked into the lip they look a lot better and their staying power is improved.
ReplyDeleteThis collection doesn't appeal to me personally, I hate the packaging and sadly (or should that be thankfully?) I don't fancy any of the products! x
Thanks so much for the tips hun :) good advice! :D xxx
DeleteLooks like such a lovely colour! I need to try out this new range but it a shame on what you say about the pigmentation xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is so it is a shame. When its launched check it out in store xx
DeleteBit disappointing that you had to reapply! i'm not to keen on the colour tbh

Its pretty but doesnt suit me xxx
Deletethis is what happened to me when i bought happy hibiscus, proper disappointed! xx
ReplyDeleteIts upsetting because for the money you expect more :( xx
DeleteWhat a disappointment! MAC really has been losing quality control with launching so many new collection every now and then. x
ReplyDeleteThey should put more effort into each one. I find they have better quality in there core collection xx
DeleteDisappointed with this! I always find if you have to coat and coat to get colour that the lips look cakey. I won't be buying this!!
