MAC Archie's Girls - Swatches of my Purchases

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:


My two lipsticks in all their glory:

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....

    1. The 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. :(

  4. When 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 :)
    Lovely buys sweetie :)
