MAC Archie's Girls

Archie's Girls is finally fully up on the MAC website and we are going to begin checking all the new items out and deciding what I am going to buy from this collection.  I put out my Most Wanted list for this month and my four favorite pieces from the collections made that list.  This collection is divided into four sections, today we are going to look at the base collection from Archie's Girls and then the makeup cases and bags that are exclusive to the website.  Tomorrow we will look at the products that were made for Betty and Veronica, there are small collections that were made for each girl, complete with shades for them and clever matching names.  I do remember Archie Comics from when I was a kid and Veronica was always my favorite in each edition.  I am predicting that I will love both of these collection equally and will want to order multiple shades and products from each line. 

I am going to start with the base collection from Archie's Girls, this collection carries the eye and face makeup that forms the back bone of the collection.  The Eye Shadow x 4 in Caramel Sundae is one of my early favorites from this collection, it contains rose and neutral shades and will be perfect for me.  This is the first piece that will be going into my shopping cart!

"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 seems like the Betty shades will work well in the daylight hours and then the Veronica shades will be the best at night.  Just more reasons for me to collect every piece of the collection!

I am so excited!  Here we go with Archie's Girls!

The two items that I wanted the most on from this part of the base collection is the Eye Shadow x 4 in Caramel Sundae and the Veronica Powder Blush in Prom Princess and now both of these products are sitting in my Shopping Cart on the website.  The Eye Shadow x 4 in Caramel Sundae contains roses and neutrals that will be perfect for my blue eyes and will mix well with all the neutral shades that I already own.  The Veronica Powder Blush is a deep pink that I will love on my cool-toned skin.  I am so excited to receive these items.

On my second shopping trip from this collection, I still have a few more pieces that I will want.  I will wait a few weeks until MAC restocks this collection and visit the counters this time around so that I can see every single tester.  I want the Eye Shadow x 4 in Spoiled Rich however I wouldn't use it as much as the other, this one will be better for nighttime looks.  I would only use the deep navy shade as an eyeliner but I love both of the violet hues.  This would be a very nice addition to my eye makeup collection but I won't die if I can't get my hands on it.  I would also like to buy the Pearlmatte Face Powder in Veronica's Blush, I would use this only as a blush not a highlighter.  I doubt that this product will be restocked (based on my experience with MAC) so I considered ordering this product instead of the Prom Princess but Veronica's Blush has a stronger Frost finish and I wouldn't have worn it near as much as the Prom Princess Blush.

The Opulash Mascara and the Pearlglide Eye Liners in Lord it Up and Black Swan are also items that would be nice to own but aren't very unique.  These will be among the last items to sell out so I can get them at any time.  They are nice shades but I could find them in many beauty product lines so I won't be running to the counters for these.  The Pigments and the Betty Blush will just be skipped over, none of them are my style.

The base collection of Archie's Girls will get us started and next we will look at the Online Exclusives for the collection.  I can't say that I am all that excited for the Online Exclusives part, I wouldn't buy any of the makeup bags in this collection.
