MAC Archie Collection in Daddy's Little Girl

I can't explain my unreasonable urge to purchase this limited edition lipstick. Originally, I was eyeing on Daddy's Little Girl and not Ronnie Red but it wasn't available and I bought the Ronnie Red instead. When a friend of mine got home from the States, she give me a tiny bag and inside were a lot of chocolates but beside it was a black envelope that I was really familiar with. It was MAC. My heart was pounding into my chest as I remembered telling her that I wanted Daddy's Little Girl so when I opened the envelope dramatically excited, I squealed at the sight of that white MAC box and emphasis on Daddy's Little Girl. I feel so blessed having friends who knows me damn well.


Like Veronica Lodge, I am Daddy's Little Girl. I am the only daughter and I can tell that somehow, me and Ronnie are alike.

Basically, MAC Daddy's Little Girl is a purplish pink lipstick very similar to Candy Yum Yum but the latter is less blue based and a little less brighter. It has a satin finish which makes it one of my favorites. Of course, like all MAC lippies, it is highly pigmented and also has the MAC signature scent. It did not bleed and has an incredibly long lasting power aswell. The lipstick glides on smoothly and does not emphasize the chaps of my lips. The only problem I see with this lipstick is that,other than the packaging, there is nothing unique about this product. The shade is very common, its easily dupe-able as I can name several lipstick shades that can counter this tube. But still, I am really HAPPY with this tube. A collector's piece indeed.

Concealers are probably cosmetic science' gift to almost every girls. It is used to keep hidden certain flaws on our faces. For example, my arch enemy no.1: MY EYE BAGS. Walking around with those panda eyes are keeping my confidence on its lowest. So basically, concealers allows me to get those stubborn bags covered and boost my self-confidence at the same time.

Ben nye Luxury Banana Powder

Achieving that impeccably perfect complexion requires a lot of wander on which beauty product would perform or otherwise.With so many beauty product available in the market, it's hard to know which ones will make it on the flawless makeup essentials. Its always the battle between the makeup bases or the finishing/setting powders.

Preparing the skin for makeup is a crucial factor to consider to score that flawless skin. However, I also believe that finishing powders ensures that all those preps won't budge and keep your makeup locked up on your skin for hours.

MAC Archie Girls Collection in Ronnie Red

If there is a support group such as ALCOHOLIC ANONYMOUS for Makeups -- MAKEUP ANONYMOUS?? come on SIGN ME UP! Call me PARANOID or whatever but I really can hear eerie voices inside my head telling me to buy MORE makeup! While I was browsing on pages from my trusted makeup sellers online, I have stumbled with this MAC Ronnie Red. I instantly leaped out of my bed and called up the seller. I finally am about to purchase yet another tube that will accompany my Betty Bright. In such compulsion, I gave into my lipstick obssesion.

As a kid, i love reading these comics and I favor Veronica than Betty. VERONICA LODGE. Also known as Ronnie is the one and only daughter of the richest man in Riverdale. She's described as the tall, slender and attractive girl with long black hair. With lots of money to burn, she is often caught spending large fortune on shopping sprees as she favors the expensive, up-to-the minute sophisticated fashion. She enjoys the POSH lifestyle. She is also in constant competition with Betty on "archiekins" affection. Before I end up discussing everything I know about Betty and Veronica and turn this blog entry a rigmarole, lemme show you my most favorite (as of the moment) limited edition purchase. MAC RONNIE RED.

MAC Ronnie Red is part of the Archie Collection lipstick from MAC. All I can say about this lipstick is that, it is Definitely Ronnie. It is a bright fuschia pinky red with blue undertone. A raspberry like hint of lipstick, matte in finish. The texture is a bit creamier than your ordinary matte lipsticks. Unlike any other matte lipsticks, Ronnie Red have a smoother application. It does not get gritty after quite some time. For a red lipstick or a matte lipstick in general, this is ultra long lasting as it lasted 6-7 hours even when I ate lunch. When I removed it, there was a red stain (Ronnie red) on my puckers that was only removed when a makeup remover was used. Imagine the lasting power? I know. WOW. For a matte lipstick, it is not drying and glides very smoothly to my lips, lightweight and does not bleed easily. Too bad its limited edition. 



So, what do you guys think? Is this the best red lipstick or what?
