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

[ChosenOne]

Thanks I didn't think of MAC possibly holding the cancelled order for a day until I talk to PayPal tomorrow. I am going to call MAC right now and see if they can hold it until I talk with PayPal tomorrow when they are open and get this whole thing resolved.

Update: I just called MAC and orders get placed on hold when CC's don't go through but with PayPal it gets cancelled completely.

The girl on the phone said these are being released in stores tomorrow and not the 7th now? What the heck? She said the dates were moved up. I called my local MAC and they said nope still the 7th. All this conflicting info.

That's bizarre. As I understand it, the only stores getting it tomorrow are in NYC. Everyplace else is the 7th.

What BS,just start stalking Nords, they are usually right behind MAC with releasing it online before the release date!

[fabulousmoolah]

I hope you get to order from Macy's or Nordstrom, the lipsticks weren't supposed to be Mac store exclusive.

Wow, I am so glad I got my order in when I did just a short while ago. Sometimes it is so hard to decide. I end up spending hours and hours looking at various websites, then coming here to get the skinny on all the goodies! Well, over the last few days I have ordered both from the Year of the Snake Collection and the Archie's Girls Collection. Here is what I have ordered so far:

Year of the Snake

Cockney lipstick
Freckletone lipstick
Plumful lipstick

Shell Pearl Beauty Powder

Push the Edge pigment x2
Brash & Bold pigment

Altered State e/s
Aztec Brick e/s

What about the Ronnie quad Erin??

Well Erin :haha: Stars n rockets (the purple duochrome will work great with the other colours, fig 1 (or vibrant grape) contrast, typographic. Or the TT quad Or a combo of colour 4 quad and shop & drop.

Ronnie's if you wanna go with the purples. Betty's if you wanna go with the corally peaches.

When I called my Macy's counter earlier this evening, the SA confirmed that I would be able to pick up my items on the 7th and not a day earlier.

 

[makeupgrrl]

Hey, it's not MAC but I got the new Nars reflecting powder today & it's amazing on the skin!

I swatched the pressed one on my and in Sephora today and it left a beautiful glow...I was debating on getting it but wanted to think it over. Which one did you get the pressed or loose?

 

[EndingStart]

I'm guessing you're not in the US?

Canada so much stuff is sold out. Im picking up most of whats left though!

 

[erinmichelle87]

Ronnie's if you wanna go with the purples. Betty's if you wanna go with the corally peaches.

awesome thanks for the input!! I have Stars and Rockets as well as the shop drop quad.

 

[bluelitzer]

BB and DLG probably sold out first because people got alot of backups of it.

Gotcha. Well I'm glad there are still things left that you wanted! Go get 'em! And stalk MAC stores/counters and department stores for the things you missed out on!

 

[EndingStart]

OMG CANADA. I'M GETTING SO FRUSTRATED. Trying to finalize my order and Ronnie Red just sold out. AHHH.

Thanks for the info. If I don't get it there then I will just camp out at a store on the 7th. I just really want Betty Bright and Girl Next Door. I really wanted those two the most! I placed an order for everything else I wanted with my CC, which was the same back up method on my PayPal that didn't go through.
