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

Elegant, you're killing me here! How many nails in the coffin do I need?!

Off I go to the thread!

I have 932567674566539 powders to compare it to & I must say that I was quite impressed. There, that was THE last nail

cafemakeup - has a side by side photo comparison using this powder. Nice!

Well, I usually throw in a couple of spelling mistakes when I post the color stories. I'm not sure if I should feel sad or if I should laugh when people just copy the color stories w/ citing Spectra. But it sure cracks me up that so many copied and pasted the "PAIN pot" and the "TORN tote" onto their blog.

Died laughing reading that!

Ok sorry I couldn't resist it.

I'm sure there will be good grades.

lmaoo

Ordered yesterday at 5:05PM CST and chose overnight shipping. Received confirmation email a minute later. My order is still pending. Guess I won't be getting overnight shipping even though I paid for it.....Will contact CS.

After 3PM EST they don't do same day shipping anymore the "day" is over.... you will get next day but it will be Friday not today

Right? I have store credit from boots I returned from Christmas... and its taking every ounce of willpower to try and not buy it right now and wait till next week at Macys.

I'm so happy everyone is in the process of getting their orders in! As for me, no luck, will have to wait until launch date for lack of FUND$!

I am happy to say that my local Bloomingdales counter has the collection to view and sample. Strawberry Malt is soooooo pretty on me (NC-20) and I'm looking forward now to Ronnie Red AND Betty Bright (which I wasn't into at first). AND, I still want to swipe Prom Princess for sure, just to even it all out.



To be honest, I don't know why I don't go to the Bloomingdales MAC counter for all my MAC needs... I live in SF and within a mile radius there are at least 4 counters-- and I always get the best service at that one. Most personable, most accurate info, more likely to have the samples to check out first, and more decadent launch parties ;D ("Yes, I WOULD like to sample this new lipstick while surrounded by luxury bags, shoes, and cosmetics!") I think I just want to live in Bloomingdales.

My goodness I wish I had that kind of restraint! I see the prices and get irritated but can't seem to dig deep enough to pass! I'd love to be your Luke... if my Yoda you will be! HeeHee

Pixie you are too funny! Love Love Love Star Wars!

Anyway,
I was interested in this collex but looked at the prices and said Nah.
I have tons of other makeup that doesn't get any love at all.
This make-up obsession is starting to snowball & get out of hand.
Time to pull in the reins!

 

[elegant-one]

hmmm, nobody wants to talk me in or out of Boyfriend stealer. Not much love for it?

 

[PixieDancer]

I think I am most excited about BB and my precious FM PM!! I can't wait to get them! 2 shipping notices received... 1 to go! Wooohooo

It doesn't apply to Pro orders.

"With your Pro Member purchase, receive an adorable M·A·C Archie’s Girls pin, popping with graphic impact. While supplies last, no offer code necessary."

^ Yup, this is exactly the message I saw that the CS rep wasn't seeing and wasn't aware of. I was guiding her through the Pro site to get her to that message and she couldn't find it for whatever reason. Doesn't matter too much since she's sending me a pin anyway, but it was frustrating!
