Flash Post: Sugar Sugar
What It Is: I first heard about the new Archie’s Girls collection for M.A.C. last fall, and was instantly enthralled. As someone that grew up fervently flipping through the latest Archie comic (and being as torn as Archie as to whether I sided with Betty or Veronica), I was psyched to see these pop culture icons getting their 21st century dues. Unlike their favourite red-headed teenager, the girls’ collection features two of everything, inspired by Betty’s fresh-faced girl-next-door persona (think, pretty pastels and shimmers) and Veronica’s rich bitch glamazon style (as in, va-va-voom shades of plum and red). With retro-inspired sweetheart packaging, this collection should TOP your list of Valentine’s wishes – or birthday, since it’ll be in stores till the end of April (unless of course, it’s all snapped up by adoring fan girls like myself). Oh, and did I mention the crazy cute line of matching accessories?
Who It’s For: Your mom that introduced you to Archie comics, as a fun birthday throwback. Your daughter, along with a Betty & Veronica comic, to introduce her to the world’s most-documented teen drama saga. Your wife, as a Valentine’s gift she’ll adore you for.
What It Costs: The collection caps out with their Shadow Palettes ($52) and starts on the lower end with their Pearlglide Intense Liners ($20).
Where It’s At: M.A.C. boutiques and The Bay stores nationwide, also online!

Loved this collection can’t wait for it to be launched here😀
I think this concept is awesome. I want to try the caramel sundae eye shadows, its the perfect combo of neutral colours with the showstopper for some drama.
Ooo what a great idea! I want to try the entire Veronica line, as I love those plum shades! Naturally I’d start with the lipglass
I would like to try the Betty lipglass in the peach color
I want to try the Veronica lip Glass, Feeling so Good
would love to try the Veronica Lipstick in Boyfriend Stealer color, thanks
I would like to try the Betty Opulash Optimum Black.
I have to try the Betty Lipgloss in Peach.
I like the Archie’s Girls pearlmatte face powder in veronica’s blush. This collection is so awesome!!!!
I love the Betty Lipstick and the “Oh, Oh, Oh” shade is the best! Might just have to order that.
I always get disappointed by Mac themed makeup, because I end up falling in love with one and then by the time I’ve run out, it’s been discontinued and my heart is broken.
I’d love to have the Veronica “Ronnie Red” lipstick. Nice shade.
Thanks.
I like the betty blush
