MAC x Archie's Girls (Betty & Veronica) Collection Discussion (February 2013)

[MACina]

This collection will be a VERY big haul for me too

Well, it's probably going to be my biggest haul EVER

(actually Make me over as been the biggest one).. but I hope I can cut something off my list!... I'm lucky I'll probably skip Strength and I have time to save since Archie's girl will launch here in March... but Apres Chic in january will be expensive as well

This collection will be a VERY big haul for me too

And for me as well

Probably will need a break between Après Chic and this collection tho

Yeah, like that will happen, lol

 

[lyseD]

I think I should be able to skip the entire collection.

I love pearlmattes but I really dislike this packaging. I guess I'll keep working on my two from Vera.

 

[sherm]

I'm dying over the promo pics! I'm SO glad most of the collections between now and February aren't calling to me and I will get to pick up a few Betty & Veronica items!! Can't wait!

Betty's Blush and Pearlmatte

! TY Naynadine!

 

[pocketmouse]

So far I'm interested in Ronnie Red and Girl Next Door lipsticks, both pearlmattes, Cream Soda blush (such a cute name

), and the pigments. I think this is going to be my biggest MAC haul; I can normally narrow my list down to a few stand out items, but I'm going to go all out with this one.

 

[BuickMackane]

I think it will be easier for me to list the stuff that I don't want

Time to lose some stuff from the Apres Chic wishlist...

 

[liba]

Phew! So far doesn't look like a huge haul for me. Pearlmattes don't work that well on me, for whatever reason; the blushes are cute but I know I've got ones that are so close, it's not worth it. Ronnie Red might be a possibility if this photo is any indication. Purple quad is the same. The lavender pink pigment is a definite yes, though!!

 

[nazih09]

Uh cream soda blush!? Sign me up!

 

[ladyarwen]

Possibly interested in quads and blushes, but if so that would be it.

Are these quad shapes the same price as usual LE quads that are in square instead of rectangular packaging? I know they'll be more expensive for special packaging but other than that do they cost more? I've never bought quads in the long packaging before.

I believe that the Wonder Woman quads were $40. Wouldn't surprise me if they were even more now.

 

[erine1881]

I think the purple quad is named "spoiled rich" obviously will be from the Veronica line.  I have a question. When does Spring start for MAC? As their release month

They usually launch the week before or the week of valentines day. And seeing as how valentines day falls on a thursday this (next) year...

Aside from special packaging, both square and rectangular quads are the same price. Looking at the pics, I'm guessing the dark purple pigment is either grape or PTE.

TY

Those definitely look like pigments to me

 

[lilinah]

So far all i want is
Spoiled Rich eyeshadow palette - purple, purple, violet and purple!

I might want a Pearlmatte Face Powder, depending on the colors. And if that's a deep violet pigment, that's going on my list, too, as long as it does NOT have a black base. But if it's nail polish, i'm skipping.

There's some inaccuracy with the description above of the Pearlglides. Black Swan is NOT black with gold pearl. Black Swan is just black with pearl (sort of black pearl). Black Line is black with gold pearl. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Black Line - i don't wear black black eye liner and Black Line doesn't look hard black, it's dark but gilded. Both Black Swan and Black Line are permanent. Petrol Blue is also permanent, but i guess that these Pearlglides will have special packaging.

I have only experienced the Pearlmatte Blushes from the Vera Neumann collection. Both had blocks of different colors, some pearly/shimmery and some matte. In this collection there is a larger base color likely of one finish with small hearts of different colors and finishes, so we will have less control over what colors and finishes we pick up.

BTW, those who love heart shaped products, check out the up-coming Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush

It looks lovely, if perhaps too peachy for me personally.

 

[xasperadastra]

I MUST have :
that peach Pearlmatte in the picture *__*
a quad (I have to choose which one depending on swatches.. I like both color combination)
the purple pigment.. maybe the pink too XD
at last one lipstick... the pink one looks nice.. nothing red or vampy for me this time!
maybe a blush, depending on swatches.. and depending on my budget!

sooooo I like both the look of Betty and Veronica.. give me purple, pink, nudes and peaches and you'll make me happy

 

[kimibos]

omg i want a lot from that list. thanks for finding it naynadine. you run this site with your info.

i need the soda blush, and at least one pearlmatte powder. probably the peach one. shop cook was my biggest haul this year with everything plus crazy back ups of tendertones. this one looks like is the anniversary in date and haul size.

 

[OctoberViolet]

huminah huminah. Tx Detective Naynadine. Crap. I have vet bills up the kazoo, but I still want a lot of stuff. OT: I'm very depressed. I had to put my baby Shetara down today.

The doctor said she had bone cancer and that even if we decided on blood transfusions it doesn't mean it would take and it may only prolong her life a few weeks. I decided to put her to rest to save her from all the poking, proding and pain she was probably in. This is my fifth baby to pass away within the last two years. I don't think my heart can take any more sadness. I will be back tomorrow to enjoy all this new stuff. At least makeup will take my mind off my sadness for a little bit.

They are Pearlmattes!

I'm sorry for your loss, OV. You did the right thing. She's not suffering any longer and I'm sure you gave her a wonderful life for many years before. Your specktra pals are here for you!!

Ahhh...tendertones! I walked away with 15 of em from shop cook! Just the cream soda blush for me. Possibly the red lipstick. Never read a comic book in my life, nor have i had an interest in them. I buy makeup based on the product and colour, not the theme.
