| MAC Archie's Girls Collection Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow Quad |
The first limited edition, special packaging, collection for 2013 has
landed! MAC Archie's Girls is finally here after months of waiting! This
collection was separated into two sides- Betty and Veronica! Since
Betty and Veronica have their own distinct styles MAC gave them two
distinct color schemes! Are you the soft, pink, girl next door? Or, are
you the ruthless, just a little spoiled, Veronica? Maybe a mix of both!

When i first saw pictures for Betty's eyeshadow quad i felt a little underwhelmed. I found the colors to be too mundane and colors I've seen before but were very on point of what an everyday girl next door would wear. Once i got this product my opinion changed very quickly. This palette is anything but ordinary. I had thought some of these shades would be similar to something i could find in my naked palette or even colors i own already own (honestly who loves makeup and does not have shades similar to the last two (Caramel Sundae and Showstopper)?). What i feel sets this palette apart is the first two shades - Cheryl Chic and Dreammaker. These shades are both frosts. Cheryl Chic is described as a like coral pink while Dreammaker is a pale frosy yellow- these soft pastels compliment the neutrals and add just a tiny bit of spring color trend to the lid.

The packaging is just as cute as the other items in this collection. The palette has the same design as the Pearlmatte Face Powder and includes both Betty and Veronica adoringly eying Archie. They are surrounded by hearts along with the collection name and the MAC logo. This sturdy, push button to open, palette is strong enough to stay closed while in your purse but pretty enough to display on your dresser. The qaulity of the shadows is just as good, each shade gave about 7 hours wear time with the exception of Dreammaker showing noticeable fading at 5 hours. You can apply these individual or together for a complete look. The frosted shades are a bit softer than the matte shades at the right. I did not find them too powdery and did not experience any fallout. With decent pigmentation, only a little was needed on my brush to get true to palette color. These also blended easily.

A look i created using MAC Archie's Girls Collection Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow Quad - Cheryl Chic was used under the brow on the brow bone and blended into the crease, Dreammaker was applied directly to the lid , Caramel Sundae was applied in the crease, and Showstopper was applied on the outer v blending into the outer crease. I then lined L'Oreal HIP color truth cream eyeliner in black and Rimmel Scandalize mascara. I lined under my eye with Black Swan Pearl Glide Intense Liner by MAC and lined my water line with Lord It Up Pearl Glide Intense Liner by MAC.

Overall MAC Archie's Girls Collection Caramel Sundae Eyeshadow Palette is worth picking up if you like neutral colors with a little pop of pastel or if you are a fan of Archie's Comics. These shadows are on par with other MAC shadows and for 44$- each shadow only comes up to a little over 10$ which is a pretty great bargain. You can pick this palette
