Benefit's They're Real! Mascara

I got a sample of this mascara for my birthday from Sephora (if you haven't signed up for Sephora's rewards card--do it... you get free treats for your birthday).  And this mascara is pretty amazing.  It claims to lengthen, curl, volumize, lift and separate... and it really does it.  It gives you nice dark black lashes with some volume (without clumping) and I really appreciate a little boost in the length!

What is your go-to mascara?  Have you tried Benefit's They're Real! mascara?

MAC Archie's Girls Lipsticks

MAC released it's latest limited edition collection Archie's Girls on my birthday February 7.  I decided the perfect way to celebrate was with my two favorite lipsticks from the collection.

Veronica's Daddy's Little Girl
Betty's Betty Bright

Veronica's Daddy's Little Girl lipstick is an absolutely gorgeous midtone pink violet.  It's even more wearable than I anticipated.  I love it!
Betty's Betty Bright lipstick is a super fun and super bright lipstick.  It is a light vibrant peach.  I do like this lipstick, but I didn't love how it photographed.  It would be easier to pull off this shade anywhere though and I think it will be fabulous for Spring.

Some of the Archie's Girls makeup items are still available online or you can swing by a MAC store to check out your options.  The packaging is super adorable if you are a Betty & Veronica fan like I am!  Have you purchased any of the Archie's Girls MAC collection?  What did you think?
