MAC x Archie's Girls (Betty & Veronica) Collection Discussion (February 2013) - Page 48

I'm for sure getting a few of the lipsticks, a pearlmatte, the purple quad, and sooooo excited for the piggies. I was getting so sick of the crushed metals, I already have 3 that's all I need. Good to see my good ol trusty pigments, they are what got me into MAC. Used to be all I'd buy before I became makeup obsessed lol

Oooo the lippies look gorg, I want the two pinks and the purple for sure. In some pics DLG looks like outrageously fun and some petals and peacocks. I missed out on PnP, so I'm hoping it looks like it. The others it's hard to tell without swatches.

My MAC, here in Canada, says the collection launches on Valentines day, Feb. 14th.

They had me sign up for an Archies girls event, on the 14th, with a photot booth and a real life Archie???to take photos with...they will be uploaded to Mac site...??? plus free makeovers...

They said they were told it launches in all of  North America on Valentines Day...??

Good news for my wallet! I have more time to save up for it. With that date, I'm guessing that it's supposed to be online by Feb. 7th, but maybe not until the 10th!

it's probably is they probably used a filter on it. the Veronica blush looks like the one from TT in some pics on intagram but in other pics it looks much lighter pink.

I hope so the. my credit car payments will have gone thru and I can order lot of my stuff!! yay ;D
If not I'm holding off in the quads n mascara hope they stick around longer my initial must buys are the lipsticks and blushes and mall madness lipgloss. I can wait on the rest...

This collection feels like it's 5 years away!!! Is anything coming out before this one?

Will this collex be available at Macys, Nordy's, Etc.?

EVERYWHERE!!!

 

I agree. The promo photo seems to have studio lighting, and both blushes appear a couple shades lighter than they do in some of the Instagram pics. 

the counter at my local macys also said this launches on vday and they are taking appointments for the 15th, 16th and 17th.

 

But the local MAC store i go to is having their event on the 5th, which means it could possibly launce in stores on the 7th? or maybe online on the 7th and stores on the 14th?

Me! I'm going to the one in dallas at northpark mall on feb 5th sooooooo excited.

Me too! I'm always paranoid about my tattoos getting too much sun

Am I the only one who foresees only getting a few things from this collection?  So for the only thing that has caught my eye is Boyfriend Stealer  and Betty Bright lipsticks...

Yup. I'd need an entire bottle of sunscreen each time to cover all of mine. It's cheaper (not to mention healthier) just to avoid the sun altogether!

I'm not commuted to much yet. Ronnie Red, Sweet Something, are catching my eye. Both Veronica pigments and hopefully Betty's eye palette. Veronica's blush looks pretty, her palette looks good, but I have some great purples already, so it's hard to decide on that.

I love the look of both Daddy's Little Girl and Girl Next Door!!
Does anyone know the finishes of these yet!?

I'm going to the valley fair one on the 5th!! Hope they have enough stock of everything

I'm starting to get overwhelmed with the pieced together info.   I can't keep it all together.  LOL   

 

I know the store by me (not a Pro store, but a freestanding MAC store) is having their event Feb. 7th, 8th, and 9th, so I guess they're releasing it Feb. 7th.  Maybe it's Feb. 7th in stores and Feb. 14th at counters?  Guess we'll know the deal once all the MAC artists go to update next week. 

 

Still only have my eye on 2 or 3 lippies from this collection.  We'll see what else catches my eye as info/pics/swatches are released!

I'm not sure when the "official" release date is, but it sounds like every store will be different depending on when their event it. I talked to someone at the Nordies nearest to me and she said that as soon as she gets the colour story she will let me know and that I'm signed up for their Friday event on the 8th, which sounds like the earliest date that their counter will be releasing it.

 

Make sure you confirm the actual release date.  There have been instances some stores/counters have held events after a collection has already been released.  My Macy's did this when MAC Marilyn came out, which I thought was ridiculous since they were pretty much sold out of everything before the event even took place. 

Yup!

 

The one on the right in the top row looks very similar to Oh, Oh, Oh which launched with Mac me over two years back, so pretty! Anyway I'm glad I could find the oh oh oh one, I'm sure these lipsticks are more expensive just for the cute package :/

My sister has tattoos pretty much all over her body and each year she tans like no other person i Know. Always puts sun tan lotion to make sure she gets nice and toasty (yikes). But her tattoos don't look like they are even fading at all

That is so lame! I will call her and double check. Thanks! I also plan to do some online stalking too. I want make sure I don't miss a thing.

I embrace my Jellyfish-ness too

 

I hate crowds

I'm guessing the 7th is the pre-launch, and the 14th is the official launch. Just like i presumed a couple weeks ago
