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

[EmbalmerBabe]

it is a nice looking quad, when i saw it in person i was impressed! im going to pass as ive been getting dark panda eyes and purple shades really seem to amplify all the panda action on me. If you like purples i would get it as the quality is there seems much better than WW quads.

also forgot to add the quad casings are nice and solid not cheap looking or cheap feeling at all!!!

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

Thank you so much for the pictures and the description! They are really helpful!
I can't stop staring at Ronnie Red.

I love to get:

• Ronnie Red l/s
• Strawberry Malt l/g
• Spoiled Rich quad
• Prom Princess blush
• Brush set

Hope my list stays small.

Nice! This one is on my list!

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!

That's a good idea! Has it been done before? I'm kind of new to specktra so I wouldn't know

 

[Valerie18]

Four of those lipsticks are on my list. I can't wait!

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!

thank you for this review. I was thinking of getting the Betty palette since I needed more neutral colors, but since it's real light I won't get and stick to veronicas as originally planned.

Yeah we know how reliable MAC text and emails are. They'll notify you like an hour or more after it launches. However I won the Betty or Veronica contest last summer and they said I would be one of the first to be notified on the release date..but..yeah...not holding my breath on that one MAC lol

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). 

Accepting a return is not the same as your taxes being processed though. Even if I was getting a refund if wait bc people are going to be rushing and the refund will probably be delayed a couple of weeks too bc the amount of people turning them in.

I love the shadow and the lips together!! however, I don't think I have the skills needed to make it (quad)work for me.

Oh yes you can!! You could do a couple of simple two shadow looks with the quads. I think that the quads are very user friendly! Don't be shy lol
