I think I'll get a lipstick and a blush from this collection and call it a day. I understand licensing cost, but $17 for MAC, that's pretty much my ceiling.

Not to mention, I'm from the era where people wanted MORE personal privacy, not less - what folks are willing to give up to data miners and marketers is pretty amazing to me. But hey, it's the modern era…gotta keep up one way or another!

Same here. I like my privacy!

I would guess that Marie Claire is probably rounding up since Marilyn lipsticks were $16.50. If it's more than Marilyn I'll probably stop at one lipstick too.

  • 3 lipsticks
  • 3 lipglasses
  • 1 quad
  • 2 pigments
  • 2 eyeliners
  • 1 mascara
  • 1 blush
  • 1 pearlmatte

A little blurb in February Marie Claire

MAC Archie's GIrls

Satin lipstick in Betty Bright
Lipglass Lip Gloss in Strawberry Malt
Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner in Petrol Blue
$17 each
I wouldn't be surprised to see to see a price hike. The GD lippies were already $16.50.

Hopefully, there will be a Pro discount.

In Holland the GD lippies were €21/$28. I'm gonna hate the Archie prices. :(

So far I'm interested in
both Pearlmattes (Flatter Me and Veronica's Blush?)
most of the pigments (but I'll have to see them in person & narrow some down)
Boyfriend Stealer, Girl Next Door, and Ronnie Red lipsticks
Cream Soda blush
and possibly the purple quad or the brush set, or a maybe a compact or something, the price increase is definitely making me cringe though. As much as I love the packaging I think I'm going to have to narrow down my list as much as possible.

If Black Poodle is like Later p/g or Starless Night, I will skip that pigement since I have not touched my Later pigment since I bought it at my CCO.

i hope not. I was thinking the same thing!

I hope its a true black with pearl and not micro glitter. Blue, not purple.

not surprised, last year they would have been 16. I don't mind paying a little extra for the licensing fee. I haven't brought that much MAC in a bit. It equals out for me.

It's so funny to see people get stressed over $16 lipstick because in Canada a regular MAC lipstick is $18!! I'm so jealous of you guys!
