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

[MarieBella]

So when will it release for us regular folk again?

PS todays my birthday and I would love to shop AG collection lol

 

[Sassafrazz300]

Collections might as well be just for PROs!

This is a Valentine's Day gift from my hunny, but I'm doing all the work.

Of course the non-pro members care if they are able to get what they want. Why would they constantly stalk the site or stay up all night if they didn't.?

 

[LAKESHA1908]

This gives hope!

I'm new here and never anticipated a MAC collection so eagerly!

Welcome Twin Mommy!! I was excited too because, I use to purchase Archie's Comics growing up and use to draw the characters....That was my former life, now, I am MAKEUP OBSESSED!

 

[cheluck]

Are Pros still stalking for the p/m?

Yes!! What a bummer that it's "coming soon" Just when I thought I could finally get some sleep... Doesn't help that both of my kids have been up sick all night.... Hopefully I can get them to nap later today.

this thread is getting pretty awkward now.....

AHAHAHA, I ORDERED DLG, GND, BB...STAY SWEET L/G, SUMMER SWEETHEART L/G, CREAM SODA BLUSH AND PROM PRINCESS AND I THINK I AM GOOD UNTIL I COP THIS NEW VIVA GLAM NICKI IN FEB!!!

i ordered lucky in love, magic spells pigments, betty bright,gnd,dlg lippies, mallmadness, kiss and dont tell l/g, both quads, veronicas blush and pigments from yos. I keep forgetting about the nicki release smh.

 

[Mac-Guy]

I am waiting.... That is all I really wanted from the collection and it's the one item that is not available yet! lol

I hear you.

BTW, some of the p/g are also not available.

Well, MAC was a PRO line. I'm not giving up hope. I think I'll get what I want between MAC and Nordies.

I certainly care.

 

[ForeverJenn]

well i just refreshed the site and got the "service temporarily unavailable" message. Let's hope this is because it's being updated and not due to "capacity problems"

 

[MacNcheese]

Shoot, be happy that most of you can still hit up a store or counter. Some of us can't. Come on people positive thoughts!

 

[Ana A]

I don't think most of us non-pro people are worried about not being able to get the items at all because like you said there are the other stores and stuff I think it's mainly we're worried about getting the products early and not having to deal with launch date in stores (since most seem to have different days or only few products) thus why we stayed up for 24 hours. Pros stayed up because they're lucky enough to get a discount but us non-pros only get the benefit of getting the product early other wise we would have just slept and waited until it came to our store near us.....which I might end up doing now.

And because we put in the work, Ive stalked nonstop since Sunday some before that...its only fair that we at least get an equal chance even if its hrs later. Obviously nothing against pros just the ones that use it as business and mac's way of handling product quantity etc. Thanks for the recommendations I really appreciate the advice I just would hate to find out that after sleep deprivation for nearly 4 days we still have to go hunting in the stores :/.....but lets wait and see Im trying to stay positive

See, I was tempted to get MALL MADNESS, but, I think I have something similar from VILLIANS...Makeup and Beauty Blog had swatches of the whole collex....MAC hooked her up!!! I havent't seen any other bloggers that did a spread like that on ARCHIES

 

[BitterSweet1016]

So sorry I wasn't trying to say that we don't care about the products we want (most people seem to pre order some stuff for the launch parties...lucky/smart people) I was just trying to say that if we didn't care about wanting to get the product early we would just wait until store launch (then wake up early to head to the store instead of stay up for 24 hours online)

I shouldn't be writing with no sleep sorry.

Same thing happened to me with the MM collection I missed it online by 30mins (Lipstick were all sold out) and missed most of the other stores sites too but did get at least 1 lipstick out of 3 I wanted.

 

[janineios]

True but non-pro people might be pissed they missed sleep stalking the site just to find that it sold it and they couldnt do anything about it :-\

I've been in that situation, before I was a pro member. And it does stink when you lose sleep and didn't get what you stayed up for. But I was just saying if that happens, at least this collection will be available elsewhere and not all hope is lost.

Of course the non-pro members care if they are able to get what they want. Why would they constantly stalk the site or stay up all night if they didn't.?

I was just trying to provide you all with back up options. I of course hope you all still get what you want from the initial MAC online release. But if that's not the case, the other places I mentioned should suffice for you to find what you wanted to get.

 

[Mac-Guy]

well i just refreshed the site and got the "service temporarily unavailable" message. Let's hope this is because it's being updated and not due to "capacity problems"

I got this yesterday too (and elegant-one as well). It might be due to the fact that a gazillion of people are refreshing the site.

 

[2browneyes]

Someone (sorry I forgot to quote) posted a link a page or 3 back....same thing happened with YOS yesterday and it was up within a short amount of time....A little more patience ppl Soon enough we will all have purchased from this collection, forgotten about it and moved on to the next upcoming release to obsess over LOL
