Mac Archies Girls Collection: Ronnie Red Lipstick

I'll admit, I don't normally blog about beauty related things, I think one of  the main reasons is because there are an abundance of beauty bloggers who do it and do it right (temptalia anyone?). Today I'm posting about a makeup collection I've been really excited about for the past month or two now, the Mac Cosmetics Archie's Girls collection. Inspired by a comic book love triangle of two rivaling girls, Betty and Veronica trying to win the heart of Archie. The collection is split into two, soft neutral tones for a girl-next-door look like Betty or the deep, seductive tones like that of Veronica's style. Of course I opted for a lipstick of raven haired temptress, Veronica. It's a beautiful bright cool toned red with a matte finish. 

 Before purchasing, I made sure it was worth the hefty price tag. I read some really good reviews, Christine from Temptalia gave it an A+ which is quite rare, that girl is critical she really knows her makeup, guys. It was launched in Ireland last week and a guy dressed up as Archie gave us these cute tins of sweets which I've been nibbling on all week... mmm cinnamon :) I tested out the lipstick and it was as nice as I had hoped so I bought it the next day! Yaaaaaaay

 I'm really happy I didn't let this one pass like many previous Mac collections. The colour is super pigmented,  it applys like a dream and wears for hours and hours without feathering or moving around, which is a rare find in a red lipstick for me. It definitely surpasses other red lipsticks I own, so if you're a red lipstick wearer like myself I highly recommend! If not, there are lots of other nice things in the collection to choose from. Sadly this was the only thing poor student Frances could afford. Btw, how fecking cute is the packing?!
