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

[honey on boost]

I spoke to a manager at the store I go to and she said the official launch date is the 7th and the event is the following week 14-17. She said I could fax my order in on the morning of the 7th.. I'm getting my list ready without the color story.

That's pretty damn awesome, not that you were accused of being a Boyfriend Stealer, but that somehow through all the kosmos of fate (*Twilight Zone Music*) years later MAC would make a collection that connects so much to your past. Hah! I think I'd love the lipstick more for that reason. "Who's the boyfriend stealer now Veronic?!" 

Exactly lol, her accusations made us closer two kids later and 12 years... Lol I actually thank Veronica exactly why I want because it all started off of being called a boyfriend stealer

That's really funny about the Boyfriend Stealer-Veronica connection! Definitely sounds like a must have for you, if only for the story that goes with it! Speaking of fate, I remember when MAC came out with a lipglass years ago called Crystal Rose. Uh, yeah, that's my first and middle name. There was NO question in my mind if I was getting it!!

Just went to my MAC store today and my MA told me it will be released on the 7th and she gave me a postcard thing that said the 7th and the 8th is the event. This is in Seattle Southcenter Mall...if that helps anyone hahaa!

Ooo. I'm glad you got some info. Is that the actual MAC store or the counter at Nordies? I've been trying to get some details from both the Bellevue and Tacoma counters with little luck.

I know right I told him about it and he laughed especially because she had a friend named Betty...funny story but yes that'll be mine along w daddy's little girl... I'm skipping the red looking ones because I swear I'm over hauled w reds..... Don't u just love the names Mac puts so many can fit ur personality or just really cute.

I feel like this collection is going to be a pain in the butt to get. It's going to be another Marilyn frenzy..

I do, too and I don't think that VGN2 coming out the same day will help. Last year my friend at Mac told me that outside of her Macys there was a line of people there for VGN1 before they opened.

No way, she had a friend named Betty?!? I feel like those two names are not very common (even though they're not completely unusual either), so it's hysterical that you knew a Veronica and a Betty who were friends. They must have gotten jokes about that all the time!

I totally agree about the reds. I got really redded out this past year, and although one of the red lippies from this collection looks interesting, the more I think about it, I'll probably skip it. I have so many and I don't wear red lipstick all that often, so it's kind of overkill! Still no regrets on backing up my Deeply Adored, but I am going on a red no-buy this year.

Yes They did lol ..... I know I skipped absolute power because it looked red to me now seeing these I'm like I'm gonna have to skip because I as well have too many and I hardly wear them because ruby woo over powers all my reds....

 

[hwdsprincess]

Just saw this in my magazine! (Prices are Canadian) It says that the entire collection is on their website but I've looked.  No dice.  

Well maybe it's a February issue already out, I seen that before and check the front and am like ok magazines are month ahead jan selling feb issues of Cosmo and etc...

Viva Glam 1 is my ultimate favorite red even after I bought ALL the reds in the MM collection.

Thanks. I think each location around me will be having something around those same dates, but I can't get in touch with an associate that knows for sure. I just want to make sure that I can get everything on my list before it sells out.

 

[MACina]

I am so excited for the quad and the pigment

The blush looks very pretty too!

oh dear :/ the MUA I spoke with told me to prepare for chaos so I hope I could just get what I want online

What? LOL

Is this a counter or a store? Did they not get a lot of stock?

it's a store! I was taken back when she said that like whoa really? Lol She made it clear that she expects things to go quickly. I know that when the Marilyn Monroe collection launched , they were out of the lipsticks and beauty powder within 2 hours of the store opening.

I hope you get there early

Can't sleep so just checked my schedule for Feb. I am working Feb 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. This means serious online stalking and plotting. I plan to hit up my three local Macys and Nordies after 730pm at nights when I get off, possibly lie about my wherabouts coming in late and super tired but I will get everything I want and it will be worth it. Good thing is that they know me really well at all the counters so I can 'threaten' them to hold my goodies in advance

Imagining my husband asking me where I was and my silly butt responding, "Out with Archie". Sleep deprivation and early morning fridge raids, not a good combo
