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

*sneak sneak* I had to stay offline cause of ya'll beautiful Specktra people!
But ya'll be making me tempted to buy it online! Despite overnight shipping.
What are the chance of things being sold out in stores if I go morning of?? Does it vary by location? Should I call?

Where in Southern California are you?

If there is stuff you know you want and it is in stock online you can't go wrong with overnight shipping. Orders placed now might not get to you until Friday though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a restock tomorrow after the overnight shipping is over.

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[B7uemo0n]

I asked the SA at Macy's to hold DLG and RR for me for pick up tomorrow. Likes and dislikes for these two? DLG like night blooming? RR worth it?

 

[Elianessss]

HATEEEE when this happens! i get so excited thinking i have something unique then i've got dupes. urrrgh.

Lol yeah I don't know what to do with them :/ This is why I hate buying online!

I think the lipsticks will be the first things to sell out. If you're going for those, try and get there as early as you can. Other than that, as long as you go tomorrow, I would think you'd be able to get whatever you want.

FAIL!

I haaate when that happens! I used my Back to Mac to get Plumful ONLY TO FIND it was a TOTAL dupe for Glamourdaze. -_- (at least for me. I hear a lot of people on T complain that Plumful pulls much darker than them than the beautiful pink that shows on her lips.)
Wasted.
And I hope that Night Blooming isn't a complete dupe because I have that on hold at Nordies.

I see Prom Princess is now sold out on the U.S. site.

Copperhead---you inquired about Modern Mandarin relative to the coral hearts in Flatter Me; the hearts are definitely coral, and Modern Mandarin is pure orange. Here's a photo---not the best but will give you a sense of their differences;

B7ueMo0n- RR is fabulous! It's one of my favorite reds from Mac. It's a really long-lasting matte (like it seriously doesn't come off), but it's not drying. I love it!

 

[looovemac]

Awww so cute! I see you're laying your brushes flat to dry, I used to do that too, but I bought the brush tree from benjabelle (?) and I am in love with it. Every time i wash my brushes I keep telling myself, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT! lol

Just for you... I tried to wash some LE brushes while I had (<- key word) some energy. I was actually going to wash ALL of them but started with my faves (the 167/168 SE/ SH are my super duper favorites)

Yeah, NOPE! This kitty always, always has to be in the middle of whatever I'm doing. I kept moving him down the towel but he won't budge anymore. That was my cue to stop for now

(and excuse the icky tile counters! This bathroom is going to be a complete gut-job)

Dayyyygo <3
And that's true, that's why I made SURE to get the lippies that I want. However I dunno about the PM or blushes. I'd totally buy everything online LOL.
Where in So Cal are you??

 

[Medgal07]

So awesome!!!!! The little tins are to die for! Enjoy

Thank you Pretty Honeybee! The tins are really cute.

Cute cat he/she must really like your brushes lol. My cat would've knocked them all down or try to bite me smh.

 

[kirsten]

Dayyyygo

 

[Reddimples]

Wow!! You ladies rock!! I just joined and I'm loving the info.

 

[vaisforluvrs]

I was thinking the same thing!

They might. They restocked the brushes yesterday and I decided to snag a set. I blame it on elegant-one's pictures!

 

[patentg33k]

Did anyone back up Vernoca's Pearlmatte? I have one on the way (not here yet), but it looks so pretty and I'm wondering if I'll need one more?

 

[Medgal07]

Really? Hmmm... maybe I'll try it on a different browser.

Maybe it doesn't apply to the product that you're ordering.

The E-mail was in reference to Valentine's Day and featured lipsticks & nail polish. I just tried it, selected a lipstick and the pop-up said you qualify for overnight shipping. I then added an item from Archie's Girls and got the same message, w/o ever putting in the code. BUT.....when I removed the lipstick the code was invalid.
