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

[KrystalAnne]

I wish my CCO had Pep Pep Pep. That's the one I wanted most and it was the only one not there.

Also, I can't believe how well Comic Cute held up on my nails! The more MAC polishes I get, the more I notice that they last surprisingly well without chipping on my nails. I can't deny they tend to be streaky at times, but I love a polish that lasts on me. My nail polish chips so fast usually.

I'm still loving Cream Soda from this collection. &I just popped on Betty Bright and I like it now more than I did when it first came out. I was thinking my bu wasn't warranted, but now I think it was a good idea. I paired it with Ripe For Love from TR and it's a pretty combo!

I missed out on all of the lipsticks from this collection. Luckily while vacationing in Orlando the other day, I stopped into the CCO there and was able to pick up Betty Bright. I'm in love.

How could a CCO get Betty Bright when it was sold out in a matter of minutes in most countries ? Oh MAC, you do work in mysterious ways

I wonder the same but I think when the department stores don't sell all their stock it makes its way to the cco. BTW I saw a few things from Archie girls at all cosmetics wholesale at slightly inflated prices if anyone is still looking. I'm not affiliated just a loyal customer. HTH

I wish MAC would collect all the unsold dept store products and re-post them directly on the MAC website!

 

[MACkilledme]

Totally !!! Especially high demand items like BB

I'd even be alright with MAC wanting to up the price a tad... For "last chance" items. I'd rather pay them then greedy ebayers who may be selling knockoffs!

I wore Kiss and Don't Tell the other day and I absolutely love the color. However, it started to bunch up and get clumpy after only maybe 20 min! Is this typical of lip glasses in general or is it just this shade? And is there anything I can do to fix the problem? Would Prep & Prime help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I gave away my Betty Bright today to a good friend. I have to admit she looked way better in it than I did. I never wore it.

very cool.

Bad batch? This is why I don't love the lip glass but your experience sounds worse than most. Did it maybe get left in the heat? Left in the car I noticed a few of mine get clumpy like that:'(

I really wish i had waited and picked up Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte at CCO price as I love the cute compact, mirror and all but i don't see myself using the product itself. Smh

You could depot it and sell the insert. Thats how I got my Tahitian Sand "refill"

That's definitely a possibility. I just mentioned in another thread I wore New Berry l/g today and I didn't have any problem with it. KDT is so lovely, I wish it just behaved better on my lips. Sigh.

Just now realizing how close Daddy's little girl is to Embrace me, and Night Blooming. Which does everyone like better?

I have to take another look at Night Blooming, but I LOVE Embrace Me. DLG didn't really do it for me; it looks great on so many people but on me it was just a standard pink lipstick, perfectly nice but not great. Embrace Me is a stunner for me. It's a beautiful wearable pink and it has a more of a purple undertone than DLG.

Finally wore boyfriend stealer. This was surprisingly wearable and I thought it would be too goth looking. Very smooth application too. If you hesitated to wear it like I did because I am pretty pale, give it a try. I am gonna use this a lot this Fall instead of stressing about getting talk that talk.

Now you're making me wish I picked it up!

Thank you! I need to try them all on again.
