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

[HSBlondie]

Did anyone see the hearts start to wear off on the brushes yet? I just want to know if I should maybe put some clear nail polish on them before I wash them and use them

I have the brush set and have used them a couple times so far and the hearts are fine on mine. Fingers crossed that it stays that way!

Knope- I'm really sorry to hear that! A pinched nerve is definitely no fun. Retail therapy is a must! Give yourself some R&R.

For those that were wondering about my chiropractor appointment, I just found out I have a badly pinched nerve in my neck, a bulging disk, and some of the vertebrate in my back have shifted. It looks like ill be having appointments three times a week for a while. I see lots of retail therapy coming on!

sorry Knope, Hope they can do something to help make you comfortable

retail therapy it is!!! best therapy of all LOL

Hi Everyone! I rarely post, but I lurk almost everyday! I just wanted to share my look using the Spoiled Rich quad. I was really nervous because I ordered it before T's swatches and review came out. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! It definitely looks better on than judging on swatches alone. I'm also wearing Cream soda blush, and Flatter Me pearlmatte over and slightly above it to highlight. Sorry about the lighting, I was only able to take this picture after work today. I'm NC 40/42 for reference!

I just love what you did with that quad, I am stealing your look TOMORROW! My

arrives today (I hope!). Oddly, my last order arrived first, so that 2 day shipping code is really, really worth it.

I'm not sure what I think about BB. It looks a little odd on me. It looks way more orange than pink and it really is BRIGHT. Any ideas on how to make it more workable for me?

 

[Starlight77]

My favorite combo so far is YOTS Plumful with Mall Madness on top. Everyone waiting in the MAC line keeps asking me if I'm wearing MAC, I heard 4 people order the combo so far *giggle*

 

[HSBlondie]

Angieangel- WOW! Gorgeous SR look! You're seriously making me regret not purchasing that palette.

 

[Knope2012]

AWWW sorry to hear that

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'm glad I went to the dr!

It's weird, Selfridges have an early release exclusive, it will release everywhere else - including Mac stores/online - in March apparently! I'm waiting until then, need to save up LOL

You should definitely get the Theodora palette! Such a great palette. I'm having so much fun with it and with the Glinda one. I honestly can't decide which one I like better.

That's great! I'm wearing Magic and Tornado from the Glinda palette today and I love them. The colors are so much fun!

I love, love, love my lippies (BB, DLG, RR). BB is probably my favorite though. I put it on and then lined with cork liner and it is FANTASTIC! I didn't have a problem with peeling but I do exfoliate my lips often and put on balm before all lip products and right before I go to sleep. I will try to take some pics this weekend and post them.

Yayyy!!! Can't wait to see you wearing it

 

[HSBlondie]

Magic is one of my favorite colors from the palette! I really hope UD eventually makes it permanent.

Hi gals, I'm super upset! I had placed 2 Archie's orders -1st with the majority of my goodies and the 2nd with just the 2 pearlmattes. My Veronica's Blush was missing from my box I called customer service and the guy I spoke with said he needed approval in order to send me another one and it would take up to 48 hours for them to get back to me IF THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT. He also said it was a sold out product blahblah. I double checked and this one is not sold out yet! I'm going to be pissed if it does sell out! Has this happened to anyone else??

Also, my big order had some other person's packing slip in the box. Thankfully I did get all the correct items but I still find this disturbing because that means someone else has my packing slip with my order #, name, address, phone# , etc. Bleh. Luckily I don't need to return anything!

One of my orders was missing two items and they told me the EXACT same thing bc of it being "limited edition" they had to make sure they had the count to send it back. i just told them to refund me.

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)

Aww so cute, we have one like that, always has to check out what you're doing. He's taken to trying to sit on my vanity between me and the mirror while I'm doing my makeup lately. If I stand up he immediately sneaks around to sit on the stool I've just vacated - never mind that I was coming right back LOL

 

[HSBlondie]

Purplesparkles- I'm really sorry that happened to you! A few people have posted that items were left out of their orders, or they got the wrong item, etc. However, they all seemed to get really helpful customer service people who took care of the various issues without delay. Sounds like the customer service person you talked to sucks. If I were you, I'd call back and talk to someone else.

Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo Specktrettes! Ohmagoodness, I've missed you all! I took a little break from the site during/after the holidays to save some money for gifts (pfft, I have to spend money on OTHER people? heh), but I'm back (with hopefully a tad more self control).

I knew that this collection was coming out soon, but I didn't realize how early the release was until I got the MAC email...hours after it hit the site, of course. heh. I was able to order Daddy's Little Girl and Mall Madness from Nordies online, but am planning on on leaving work before lunch to see what I can get my hands on at Nordies. Wish me luck! I don't even have a real list of what I want. I just want to swatch it all! My list consists of pretty much everything minus the piggies. We shall see!

I can't believe Archie's Girls is finally here! I remember being really excited about it when I got the pins at Comic-Con last JULY. Time flies!
