[Rads]

did you order anything from this collection rads?

I did!! I ordered a ton of stuff..wait..I will type it now like everyone else

Prom Princess
Strawberry Malt
Mall Madness
DLG
Spoiled Rich Quad
Cream Soda
Stay Sweet
Summer Sweetheart
Kiss & Don't Tell
Betty Bright
Caramel Sundae
Oh Oh Oh

Hopefully that isn't going to be an "Uh-Oh No!" when I finally get everything I amn't sure how long I will be in US...wanted to catch a bit of the madness

So I placed my order earlier and now I'm really debating getting caramel sundae!!! Dang it!!! I am going to be in a wedding and I feel like it would be the perfect quad for it and sooooo travel friendly!!

I ended up getting it cause its not a typical neutrals palette with the bronze/browns etc., and it looks like it would be a great quad for everyday

...over 800 new posts

But I am soooooooooooooo glad that you all were finally able to place your orders

I hope that everybody will receive their pakages soon!

I just can't keep up with this thread. I'm finally caught up for the ump-teenth time.

I think this may have been my smallest haul from a collection. I'm pretty proud of myself. At least for now anyway. I hope the stuff doesn't hit the fan when I go to see the rest of the collection in person.

I'm not bashing the Archie model, but the image gives me a Lester the Molester vibe...

i knew i could dupe it with those...   (did you mean color 3?)  I still want to see it on me though. LOL  

Oh duh! Yes i meant 3. Thanks doll! :kiss:

I guess no one was excited about caramel sundae quad

:nope:

i ordered cream soda, dlg and ronnie red. i decided to save prom princess for in store...hopefully they'll still have it when i go!  i  checked out at break neck speed...i'm surprised i didn't end up with some kinda randomness in my cart!  i also received a little flyer in the mail today from the bay to advertise this collection. thankfully it had the comic graphic, not that hideous photo with the live models. i'm sorry if i offend anyone, but the promo photos for this campaign are my least. favourite. ever.

The chicks are hot! Archie is...not.

does anyone know about how long it takes to get your order? i've never ordered from the mac website before so i was just wondering  

3-5 days

Just got home from work. Got a message from my dad, he ordered both blushes for me! Eeeee, so excited.

Awww! That was sweet of him!

Ughhhh I'm thinking I need it now!! Ur right though, the colors are neutral but girl and soft. I think it would fit the bill for a DIY bridesmaid look. To the people that got the nars reflecting setting powder, do you know if it photographs well or gives off a white cast like MUFE HD's?

Lester the Molester? Did you make that up? I think I'lll pass on my photo op w/Archie at the event---gross!

Showed incredible amount of restraint today because hubby will kill me!. I only purchased BB l/s but am looking forward to when it launches on the Nordstrom site because I have a GC there. Does anyone know when this will be online at Nordstrom?

Also I posted this on the Baking Beauties thread: Do you think that Pink Buttercream - Light silvery pink base with dark pink flowers and periwinkle leaves will be the same/dupe of Veroncia's Blush Pearlmatte? I can only get one so I'm not sure which one to get : (

I don't think Pink Buttercream and Veronica's Blush are going to be duplicates. They may be similar. I mean they both have "light silvery pink" as their base. Veronica's blush has deep pink hearts and Pink Buttercream is going to have dark pink flowers. Just in those descriptions you can see that they will be close...
I think the main difference is that Pink Buttercream has periwinkle leaves in it. PERIWINKLE!

I'm really excited for this one! Purple and blue color correctors can help brighten skin and knock out sallowness. I'm not sure if there will be enough periwinkle in the Pearlmatte to really classify it as a color corrector at all, but I bet that it will still brighten up skin nicely!

I'm bought Veronica's Blush today and I'm planning on purchasing both pearlmattes in the Baking Beauty collection as well. (In For a Treat is the one that I'm drooling over!)

This is so sweet! What a great dad you have. It sounds like we at Specktra are all very lucky that the men in our lives support us in our quest for MAC! ... Even though it seems they are the first ones to say "Why? You don't need all that!"

 

[sharviss]

I ordered:

Veronica's Blush pm
Mall Madness l/g
Kiss and Don't Tell l/g
Betty Bright l/s x2 (one for my Mom)

And now I wonder if I should order Girl Next Door. What does everyone think? I am super-pale NW10ish and have mostly blonde hair with a bit of red in it.

Also, I'm de-lurking! I really enjoyed the excitement of this thread

 

[Carolina Marie]

I guess no one was excited about caramel sundae quad

i was!! but i figured id rather get the naked 2 pallet instead of only 4 eyeshadows haha

 

[Medgal07]

And im hoping to pick up dlg l/s (maybe the pearlmattes?) at the launch! I ended up getting second day shipping, for 5$ you cant really beat that!

Nice haul.....ENJOY

 

[bambiraptor]

Y'all rock btw. My husband works at my university and he let me borrow his tablet for my 4:30-5:30 CST class (we were reading papers and discussing, i could pretend the papers were on the tablet) and riiiight when I walked into class I got this urge to check specktra... and of course the collection was up!

I only got 2 things, but they're all I wanted and I'm glad I managed to get them!
-Flatter Me
-Oh Oh Oh

I can't wait to get them.. now to start obsessing over the next collection =D

 

[katelyn0]

Well ladies, (and gents).. Time for bed for this gal. I hope everyone sleeps well knowing they got all the Archie goodies they wanted today! If not, there's always in store next week. It was a slice stalking this thread/the mac website lol. I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow for more discussion. Night all!

 

[MACina]

Lester the Molester? Did you make that up? I think I'lll pass on my photo op w/Archie at the event---gross!

I heard it in a movie and it always cracks me up. Clay Pigeons with Vince Vaughn. I watch a lot of movies and TV, so this stuff is seared into my brain.

Please tell me what you think of Shell Pearl when you get it. I'm undecided about it. I think it may be too light and I can't swatch it before buying.

 

[Erikawithakkk]

:haul: Nice haul.....ENJOY 

so exciting! :eyelove: And now the wait...hopefully I get my black box on friday/saturday! Ill be sure to post swatches

 

[KelseeBrianaJai]

Ordered RR, BB(spur of the moment), and DLG!!! I hope these colors are original enough to warrant a spot in my lipstick arsenal.
