I LOVE IT when Mac do comic book
and cartoon inspired collections!
My fave was the Barbie and Wonder
Woman collections
(Still waiting for a Jem and the Holograms collection though)
MACs recent nostalgic offering is
courtesy of Archie Comics called MAC Archie’s Girls.
Archie's Girls: Betty
and Veronica vie for attention in MAC make-up
The collection focuses on the
characters Betty and Veronica, who are involved in a much talked about “love
triangle” with Archie.
Betty and Veronica have separate
collections, inspired by their looks and personalities packaged in the
exclusive Archie’s Girls designs.
a sophisticated and sultry pallet
was chosen to reflect the spoiled, vain, and fashion-conscious Veronica Lodge, consisting of in
violet, red and blackened plum, complemented by nail lacquers in dark berry and
navy crème to complement her dark hair and pale features
While a very soft girlie pallet
is attributed to the wholesome, blonde-next-door, cheerleader Betty Cooper with
peach, pink and coral, lipstick shades and matching nails in Comic Cute and Pep
Pep Pep.
The collection boasts a comic
book design on a white glossy background with featuring the faces of Archie,
Betty and Veronica surrounded by hearts.
Products include a brush kit,
mirror, tote, coin purse and make-up bag.
Personally I find the collection
to be very fun and wearable however the while I love the packaging it could be
seen as a little bit childish and maybe put people off buying it.
Of the two my I like the Veronica
collection the best because I can get away with more of the shades than the Betty collection (and Veronica was
my preferred character in the comic) however I prefer the nail varnishes in the
betty collection.
What are you thoughts about this collection?
If you could suggest a comic book or cartoon would you suggest to MAC to inspire a collection?
