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

[peachsuns]

I think I'm going to have to skip anything htat is similiar to what I have in my statsh. I was going through my makeup tonite and I have sooo much stuff I don't use.

I'm only interested in the coral lipstick, but I think I have something similar already. It's fun and no fun when you have so much stuff.

Hello, color story, where are you?

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

It's hard to tell cuz all the pics we've seen of them are from IG, and almost all are posted with a filter. I do find, however, that most of macs purple quads are easily dupable. They'll be more than $15.

ok thanks!

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

Any idea how much the quads will be? I passed on the Wonder Woman quads because I thought the pigmentation was lacking. The Archie quads will probably be the same price as those right?

 

[erine1881]

Current quads are now $40, so I'm guessing these are gonna be $42.

The color totally reminds me of Harvest from the Fall Trend Pro Lip palette. It's my favorite color if this palette actually. This is a satin finish.

The lipstick reminds me of Hibiscus which is my HG. Can we see some swatches please?:thud: Thank you for the pic, singer82! 

Oh your so welcome! I wouldn't mind it looking like hibiscus. I missed out on that one.I like the gloss, but I just went through my glosses and realized I don't use them as much as lipsticks. And they go bad faster. Got to knock some out before I buy anymore.

the full color story is taking forever to come out

i mean seriously any day now lol. this is coming out in less than a month now right?

Less than two weeks... Tightest lid ever on the color story.

I was really hoping BS would be different. I sadly missed out on Heroine and Strong Woman, which I'm kicking myself in the butt for. I'll just have to wait around for another like them. Went through my lipsticks today and I really need to cut back. I had to put aside about six that don't work on me. So I spent money on them for nothing. I need to really start thinking about the colors I buy. But it's so hard. I just love lipsticks!

which ones didn't work for you? I need to cut back too... on everything! lol

KMQE716, is it possible for you to provide a lip swatch photo, provided that the L/S is still available to you and you don't mind posting a lip picture. Thanks!

I think BS will look stunning on you, especially as you can pull off cooler colors like that.

Have we seen this yet? Sorry if we have. Looks like the lipsticks glosses and liners are indeed $17. I actually like the look of the gloss, looks pretty dupable though.

What magazine was this photo in. I want to see this photo IRL. Strawberry Malt looks great. A color similar to Hibiscus would be great. Hibiscus is an perfect summertime shade for me, so more of the same would be great. Boyfriend Stealer would be a horrible color on me. Its too cool tone, flat and zombieish. And it does remind me of the Kate Moss Rimmel shade. Which is horrible on me as well. YP is 100x better than this shade. I hope the matching gloss looks better (I'm hoping its Lap of Luxury) which is a better shade. Thanks for sharing the swatches!

Picture that....kinda makes me think there's definitely gonna be a short supply and they're trying to avoid a super quick 10 minute sell out of most of the collection.

Ill muster up the strength and try lol... #shy

Maybe it will just appear on the web and we will be scrambling.

I actually wouldn't mind that.

In large part, we have the color story anyway. We just don't know the finishes.

 

[Aquamarine1543]

Btw, only one eyeshadow quad and 3 lipsticks for each girl, right?

I got invited to a MAC S/S trend presentation for VIP next week and they said they're going to introduce some of upcoming S/S collections. (I don't live in the US now)
Hopefully, I can see Archie's too.

 

[OctoberViolet]

Good grief. I want a color story already. Come on MAC!!!!!

Also, I keep looking at Boyfriend Stealer and I think it reminds me of Harvest lipstick from the Fall lip palette. I have wanted that in a lipstick form, so I am still getting it even if I already have something similar & it's not exactly like Harvest.

I also agree that we will probably see more bright purple purple (or deep purple or violette blue--fingers crossed) lipsticks coming up this year.

Still no color story...
