I never really splurge on a MAC Collection, just MAC products in general, the last collection I did splurge on was the shop shop shop, cook cook cook which was in March 2012? I'm probably wrong on the release month. When I seen the Archie Girls collection I was like wow I need those blushes, powders and lipsticks and that's what I went ahead of got. Tell you the truth I didn't know it was a comic until the collection came out. I'll go ahead and post the products I purchased and swatches. The packaging of the Archie Girls collection is incredibly adorable which also drawn me into buying the products that I did.
I couldn't choose between the PearlMatte Face Powders so I had to purchase both of them. Flatter Me and Veronicas Blush.
Flatter Me - Golden light peach with bright coral hearts. I actually apply a little of this over the Archie Girls Cream Soda blush which gives a warm peachy glow to my cheeks. You can totally use it as a highlighter but I love using it as a blush at the moment. I like to apply this with my Sigma F35 Tapered highlighter brush.
Veronicas Blush - Light baby pink with bright pink hearts. I have heard that the base is the Play It Proper Beauty Powder. I actually like applying this as a highlighter on my cheek bones and my brow bone. It's so pretty with the Archie Girls blush in Prom Princess or wearing it alone as a blush. I do get good pay off from this which I was surprised at because the reviews I did read about this mentioned you had to use quite a bit but for me I personally didn't have to.I like applying this with my Sigma F35 Tapered highlighter brush when using it for a highlight or my Sigma F40 Angled brush as a blush.
First of all how adorable is the packaging of this blush? At first I was going to pass on these because I thought Cream Soda would've been similar to Immortal Flower Blush out of the Tres Cheek collection which it isn't and I'm happy about that. Prom Princess I was nervous about because of pigmented the blush is and I dislike MAC Dollymix and I thought they were similar but they're not. Pleased I purchased both as I love how they appear on my pale complexion.
Cream Soda - I would say this blush is more of a peach than a coral on my complexion
either way I love it. I like to apply this with my Sigma F40 Angled brush.

Prom Princess - Deep, bold violet. I was quite surprised when I swatched this blush and applied it to my cheeks because the colour is nothing like it looks in the pan it's lighter and less bright in my opinion just very pigmented so you're best applying it with a light hand. I like to apply this with my Sigma F40 Angled brush.
I really couldn't pass on the lipsticks as I have a lipstick obsession. The only one I did pass on was Oh,Oh,Oh because I didn't like it.
Girl Next Door - This lipstick to me is a sheer baby pink with how sheer it appeared I was going to pass but I thought I'll try it with a lip liner. I ended up trying it with Hip n Happy by MAC and both of them together gave a gorgeous combo so I had to purchase it along with the lip liner.
Betty Bright - To me this looks like a Pinky Coral, I love how it looks on my pale complexion I just couldn't pass on this, to me it reminds me Reel Sexy by MAC which I'm glad I passed on that one. For me I have to exfoliate my lips when wearing this because my lips are a little dry and it sinks into the dry areas. When wearing a lip liner it pairs great with In Anticipation by MAC.
Boyfriend Stealer - This one I could not decide one bit about purchasing only because I don't wear a dark lip as much now. To me this is sheer with a purple glossy shine. I actually don't like the look of this lipstick alone so I either pair it with MAC Vino or MAC Beet lip liner.
Daddy's Little Girl - Bright, bold Fuchsia, far by my favourite one out of the 5 I purchased. For me to get how it exactly looks from the tube I pair it with MAC Magenta but it's just as good without the lip liner but it does have a slight pink tone hence why I pair it with the lip liner.
Ronnie Red - Love love this one. On my lips this appears as a pink toned red which I'm so pleased about because I've always wanted a red to appear that way. I would totally choose this over Ruby Woo and Russian Red any day.
