Oh happy days - they finally arrived. I can now relax a little knowing I got my hands on a couple of lovely lipsticks and the Betty Mascara. Believe me I had to dial it down quite a bit, I could have got much more but with spending ban guilt weighing heavily on my mind (and quite rightfully so) I feel I did pretty well.
Lovely packaging below:

The red colour is a lot more matte than the peachy/orangy colour, which has a bit of a sheen to it - not sure if you can make this out on the photo. As a result, the lasting power of the red is unrivalled I managed to eat lunch and drink a large glass of water and it was still in place. I'm very impressed.
Below is the mascara - yet to test this so I do apologise but thought you might appreciate the picture of the wand - it's a particularly old school brush, I'm so used to seeing all these fancy new style ones (think Maybelline Rocket etc) that I was quite surprised by this. Retro!

So there you have it. I'm a happy girl. Best buy out of all three? It has to be the Ronnie Red Lipstick. And I always thought I was more of a Betty fan....
I really wanna check out the new collection, some of their lipsticks and lipglasses might not make my wallet too happy, oh well what's a girl to do!

Thank you very much! I've followed your blog also :) x
DeleteI love the red shade in particular! Look forward to seeing these on :)
ReplyDeleteThe Betty Bright one is pretty neon - more of a spring colour I think. Loving the red also..... wishing I'd bought 'Daddy's Little Girl' too though. :(
DeleteWhen I first saw this collection I honestly wished that Im not living close to a MAC Cosmetics store.. I would probably kill my wallet if I did ;) I really love all of the things from the Veronica side and a few things from the Betty side :) I would LOVE to own both of the quads for instance :)
ReplyDeleteLovely buys sweetie :)
Oh and btw, Im a new follower of your lovely blog :)
Hugs

I think I agree, I thought I would be more of a Betty girl but I'm much preferring the Veronica colours. Thanks for following - I'm following yours too! x
