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

[BunnyHeffner]

I think you're talking about this bloggers post: http://www.beautezine.com/mac-archies-girls-collection-for-spring-2013-review-photos-swatches/ I love it on her! This was the only reason I made a second order to get it lol I probably won't use often, but skipper's remorse is a b**** to deal with 

Yup! That's the one!

I'd say the ED collection. I love the formula! And I can't wait to get Heroine and Lavender Whip! :happydance: I don't think I'll be able to get the nude and metallic coll with it being pro only. Then after crazy April we get temperature rising! Excited to hear more about that.

My order from yesterday shipped out of Kentucky, so you should be fine.

Thanks darlin'

I got my text and email an hour after the collection went live!

I'm surprised everything is still available.

Left specktra for a lil bit and came back to 17 more pages to the thread LOL Anyway, I placed my order....Mall Madness and VGN2 ls & lg. that is all

Where does MAC ship their products out of? Im in connecticut and slightly worried I didnt upgrade shipping.

If you ordered from online, you'll prolly get em from NY.

O! M! G! i don't check this board for a couple days and now i have over 3,000 unread messages! I got my e-mail from MAC about an hour ago and i placed my small order - Boyfriend Stealer lipstick, Mall Madness and Feelin' So Good glosses. I want the two Betty pigments, but i'm trying to be circumspect - probably a mistake Also, i have been meaning to share some swatches i made a few days ago. The colors aren't quite 100%, but i hope they're helpful. PIGMENTS TOP: Cheers My Dear - Light Lavender-pink BOTTOM: Lucky in Love - Shimmering Light Blue Green (aqua) I tried to correct this, but... the pigments are a tiny bit bluer than they appear - the pink is a bit more lilac.
LIPSTICK COMPARISONS I've made this bluer than the original photo, but it still reads rather yellow. I'm between 15-20, neutral. LIPSTICKS AND GLOSSES and a little comparison This is uncorrected - my arm looks about normal, but lips products are a bit too pink...

O.O my God does cheers my dear look gorgeous!!! But i read somewhere it was pretty close to pink pearl which i own but rarely touch :/

That's pretty good not like the usual hrs or day after and everything is sold out.

Kentucky.

At least whenever I order from MAC, the origin is always Louisville, Kentucky. I'm in California. I'm assuming KY is their fulfillment center.

 

[MagentaMadness]

Does anyone think pink pearl is a close dupe for cheers my dear? Im not sure if i should place my for it since i dont touch pink pearl too often.

 

[silvs]

My god. I placed my order a minute after it went online (went psyco crazy fast), I did it so fast that I forgot to upgrade the shipping... grrrrrr. Does anyone know how long it will take to get my stuff, who has previously ordered from them online?

First time I ordered online. Makes me so mad. I want it before I go on vacation (Feb. 9th evening). I live in Wisconsin if that can help someone with their judgement. Thanks!

It's shipping from Kentucky so it won't take too long! I'm in Chicago and i usually get it within 4 days with standard shipping. hopefully the crazy weather we've had won't interfere!

 

[VampyCouture]

I think Im skipping. Theres nothing that is pulling me to buy, but I feel like I must get something while its available

I skipped this whole collection. Not as hard as I thought it would be, but it is doing my wallet good!

I love reading this thread though to see what everyone is hauling! Makes me happy that everyone is getting their goodies!!

Can't wait to see FOTDs!

Thanks for this doll! I placed a second order for LIL. Wanted CMD, but i rarely (almost never) wear light pinks, plus i put transferred two vials of a pigment into an old big jar, and cant remember if it was CMD or quietly. Due to the fact that i didn't transfer over a name label (which came on the CMD vial), I'm assuming it's quietly (vial had name printed) and not CMD.

If your items have not shipped maybe you could call CS and they could add the pearlmattes to your order

I DID do THISSS!!! Thanks for reminding me! I know people have done it in the past, but I never think to! It was too late to add to my order from this morning... BUT she rang up the PM I wanted and sent it FREE shipping! It was sent standard shipping even though my first order was 2nd day... but I'm not complaining!

Oh no no no no! :nope: Pink pearl is a pink purple duochrome. Almost the exact same as stars n rockets. Nowhere near each other.

 

[MagentaMadness]

Oh no no no no! :nope:

[elegant-one]
