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

[Medgal07]

I love Specktra for that. More often than not you see women competing instead of being supportive and kind towards each other.

 

[Medgal07]

Who is this angel of mac? Her coloring will be similar to mine

She's a manager at my local MAC store. We just hit it off immediately and are now friends.

 

[Medgal07]

I need to know if stores will have the brush set or is it online. I'm getting confused n I just want to make sure if I miss out then I'm covered elsewhere. I'm too sick right now to stalk or lose sleep lol

The brush sets are also in-store. Hope you feel better soon

 

[BunnyHeffner]

Oh i know. This aint my first rodeo. I used to work for mac, I know how they operate

I guess I meant to quote Liz's question more than yours. Simply trying to let her know that you can't always go by the promoted release dates.

haha i love it! they sure have us wrapped around their finger. i just want to get the haul over with so i can relax haha. i havent been this excited for a collection since Shop Cook, or maybe Marilyn. After Archies i need to put my no buy plan into action!!!!! its seriously time ive been putting it off because of Archies and just recently the Oz palettes. So after Archies its on! haha im so terrible. Do you know how long ive been trying to plan the no buy?Haha. I dont want Anything for a long time except maybe a little chunk from Baking Beauties. Which i hope i can back to mac for a couple pieces. im skipping ED.I dont use my Pewter whats it called or my whisper of gilt. im just praying i dont like much from the summer collection cause thats the one that usually reels me in.

I totally feel u!! I said I was going on a no buy after Archie's too. I'm getting 1-2 EDs tho it's my fav mac es formula but no blushes or skin finishes for me, I never use my WOG either! . but the no buy didn't work for me so I'm going on a low uh in march. lol I kno I'm getting a lot from fashion sets and baking beauties plus maybe nudes and metallics. I hope the summer collection doesn't break my bank either!! but I get. at least one item from it every year.

:winkiss: My theory is that for strength they gave an actual online release date (for the very first time) and released it the night before in the early evening. Everyone stalked the sunday night and monday night before the release and no go. So, with it not launching this sunday night, or tonight, I'm sure it'll launch tuesday (now today) evening. Like i said, I'm 80% sure. Not 100%, because it is mac afterall.

 

[Medgal07]

Is anybody getting the n/p?

I pre-ordered Comic Cute & Double Trouble.

 

[MACina]

....I am so glad that you were able to pre-order your goodies, kimibos!Nice haul

I am soooooooo excited for the pigments.....I really cannot wait

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts

sooo those betty's pigments are gorgeous!!!!! i had to get them. the pink one? is lavender on me like omg

i couldnt stopped myself and just said "ill add these ones too" they dont look like they do on karen , on me. like sorry i didnt take pics. im soo excited to get those 2. then i got both blushes and the magenta and betty bright lippies!!!
my mac bag is ready for the 7th

******im glad some pals here help me skip the urban decay oz palettes cause my wallet would have killed me!!


@MACINA & OctoberVIOLET that lavender pigment is callinggg you two!!!!!!

@NAUghtyp polish pal the bottles didnt have the faces on them.. just the white caps. i guess the design is only in the boxes. i have to admit the pink coral one is calling my nameeeeee.eee

oh the pigmentation of the lipglosses is AMAzinG, if you are a gloss girl get them!! and the blushes TOO!!!!! and the lipstick that looks like beauty is sheer and brigther than beauty. like beauty has a graycool thing going on. and this one not. its not like saint germain at all. this one is really really sheer. i can see alot of girls loving this lipstick.

i also saw the coin bag,its soo cute but W t hell i dont even have coins left after my preorder.

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

Sooooo my internet decides not to work and i called my provider and its going to be down until wed afternoon when they come and check it out. My phone is so slowwww without wifi. Great f*kcing timing

Oh nooooo!! I hope it miraculously starts working again.. Fingers crossed!!

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

I pre-ordered Comic Cute & Double Trouble.

Exact same colors I'm getting

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

Is there anyone who's going to stalk all/most of the night that I could give my number to? I have to sleep soon or else I'll be a zombie for class tomorrow. But if someone would be kind enough to wake me up if/when it releases I would be eternally grateful!

I'll be up for a couple more hours..

 

[Medgal07]

[CRIMSONDIVA82]

OMG!!!!!!!! I remember Jem I had the sneakers God I'm old lol

 

[erine1881]

If you guys have the opportunity to swatch the pearlmattes, please do. They're definitely pretty colours, just not what you guys think they will be. I forget who pointed out that Ronnie's face was darker than her neck in the promo image. I think she's wearing her PM all over.

 

[Liz Aldrich]

Thank you all!

MAC isn't my favorite brand, most of the stuff from them that I buy I don't reach for often. BUT First time i'm ever stalking the MAC website, yay. I'm More of a NARS fan, however, this collection brings back childhood memories. I don't do crazy colors for my makeup; I like more of a natural/professional look. Im a blush hoarder. Felt that Prom Princess looked like something I already owned.


Planning on getting:

OH OH OH
Veronica's Blush
Creme Soda
Summer Sweetheart (maybe, I was waiting for someone to leak a swatch on paler skin, but no one ever did)
Makeup Bag
Fling Brow Pencil (not from the collection, but I've been wanting to try it, and my MAC counter that is near me never seems to have it in stock when I try to get it)

I the eye brows. Best formula ever!

 

[BlissfullyYours]

really?? So blessed! Was NW45 to red for you?? I need a MAC Angel. I started blogginh for other WOC. BTW! How does MAC Cozy Up show on you.

I rely on an 'Angel of MAC', who like me is NC 44 to swatch and select based on what she knows I like, and will complement my coloring, etc. At least your BF is up on the terminology--that's pretty good!!!!  :yeah:
