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

[mekaboo]

Yep. I got my W-2 on 1/15, but my tax pro said the IRS isn’t accepting returns until 1/30. We completed the forms and everything, but it's on hold until 1/30.

Some people wrote today that they received emails stating that their returns have already been accepted. Maybe they aren't exactly waiting for the 30th

They are accepting them but supposedly not "processing" them until the 30th.

Is there a text chain going on for this collection? My baby is sleeping through the night now, so I need to be woken up if/when it launches online!

They'll probably have those things onsite.  Your name is on the list so you should be okay.  I you don't get one I'll send you mine--I promise!   :kiss:

aww thanks doll! your so sweet ! I'm just such a dork like that I collect too many things....

Same here! Hurry up Wednesday so I can file my taxes! Unfortunately for me though, my refund can't go to any makeup or fun stuff but towards us moving.

Sucks being an adult huh? Our refund is going towards a new car!

Even on the website it states they won't start accepting them until the 30th. When I filed mine, it was a huge note saying "Remember, the IRS will not start accepting returns until the 30th so check your emails on or right after". So I think they are doing it early as they only reason why they were held up before is because some forms weren't ready and new tax laws. However none of those affected me. So I guess it's strange to have a huge "we aren't accepting them until the 30th" yet I have an email saying "The IRS has accepted your return).

I miss when my refunds were all about getting a new pair of Chanel sunglasses, now it's bills, bills, bills, and rent (and makeup).

Interesting, I was working with H&R block online and it kept popping up with, "if you file now, you'll get your refund within so many days", but then it said I couldn't file until the 30th because I need an additional form for tuition fees that H&R block doesn't have ready.

I have Outrageously Fun; it's more purple & alot less opaque than DLG. I liked that DLG is a Satin finish. It's also slightly more muted than OF, but still a bright color. Very pretty in person.

First off thanks s much for the swatches! :hug:
So OF is more purple than DLG? I thought it was the other way around.

 

[MACina]

Thank you very much for the swatches and descriptions, janineios

They do confirm my list again....I think that I am most excited for DLG,GND,BB and MM

If anyone has questions feel free to ask! I'm about an NC30 for reference. My hand may be a bit darker though :/

I very much loved it! I'm a purple fanatic, so naturally I was drawn to it. I thought the pigmentation was good as well, I definitely didn't have to dig to get good color payoff. I swatched Betty's quad also, but the reason I don't have a picture is because the colors were so light they barely showed up on me, even on my wrist. My arm basically looked bare on camera. I think MAC intended them to be that sheer/light, but it wasn't my cup of tea so I was able to cross that off my list!

your pics make me want to add it to my list again!! lol I thought I talked myself out of it but based on your swatches I'm going to go on impulse when I see it in person. I think I can pass on daddy's little girl. did u try that one on? I am nc30 and normally those pale pinks look wrong on me ;( but I still want it!! lol OMG not daddy's little girl! that's the one I'm getting for sure!!! I meant do d I try Girl Nect door? I better be careful I don't want to end up wih the wrong lipstick! lol

I haven't worn OF in over a month, but I'm still pretty sure it's more purple than DLG. not by much.

...I soooo cannot wait to get this quad!

Ahhhh how could I forget, here's Veronica's quad! Enjoy

I'm NC30 also! Daddy's Little Girl wasn't pale at all. It's a muted fuchsia color, nothing close to being as pale as Girl Next Door! You really need to see the Veronica quad in person. It's stunning. Warning: it will probably make its way back onto your list once you see it firsthand ! Hehehe

IMO it's the single most must-have item from the entire collection.

For anyone that's been able to swatch the lippies, how does Ronnie red compare to absolute power from Strength?

I've got Absolute Power, and it's probably darker than Ronnie Red and not as bright. Ronnie Red really took me by surprise by how bright it was. Absolute Power seems more blue-based to me too while Ronnie Red looks like a more blue-based maraschino cherry red. In fact, maraschino cherries were all I could think of when I swatched both Ronnie Red and Strawberry Malt.

sounds like my perfect red! I will probably get Ronnie red I already planned to get strawberry malt so I may as well have the set same with daddy's little girl/ mall madness and Betty bright/ kiss and don't tell.
