MAC x Archie's Girls (Betty & Veronica) Collection Discussion (February 2013) - Page 74

I will give Mac something, no matter how frustrating it is waiting for swatches and colour storys... they know how to build the hype with big collections like this!  

Australias pricing will be sky high on this collection! Prob $38 a lippy again!

I ended up getting force of love thinking it might be a dupe but it was way too bright for me. I still have it, because I felt bad returning it. I wish I had gotten watch me simmer and skipped force of love but hey it's too late for that now. Hopefully Betty bright leans more toward watch me simmer

Its MUFE Rouge Artist Intense #15 Pearly Violet

I want the shirt, looks cute to me.

If this goes on sale at midnight n the day of launch, does anybody know whether the website is on east coast or west coast time?

I totally HATE crew neck shirts. And it's just a regular boxy tee, too? I would revolt. People think I'm a snob, but I just cannot wear clothes that aren't flattering. V-necks all the way!!! My boobies must breathe.

I think this is the first time that from a collection I do not like 1 single lipstick.

Oh well. Money saved. lol

Still no color story...I'm getting annoyed.

Yup. It's going to be one of those days. I thought by this morning there would be a color story waiting for us, but NO. u again MAC.

We really need some info.  I know that the folks in charge of sales like us to go into a feeding frenzy but if it ends up in a lot of returned product b/c we couldn't plan ahead and had to go on impulse, that isn't really helping anyone.  I have always avoided returning product unless it was actually defective in some way b/c I just think it is cheezey to do that, but I may have to reconsider that personal choice if this pattern of delaying the release of information continues to generate hysteria and selling out.  Somehow, I have a hunch, just a hunch, there will be plenty of product this time b/c MAC marketing has to know that there is much interest in these products. 

Which is your mac store nillafrost? I'm in the city(NYC), so I am curious. I probably will stay away from the stores tho. Not a fan of crowds. Please keep us posted.

Sorry if it's been posted already, but i didnt see any pix of brushes.

Thank you. I really need the color story already. I love that pink lippie, but if it's too much like Beauty l/s I don't need it. If it's more pink and in a frost, satin or matte finish then I may consider it.

I'm the same way about returning makeup.  I think I've only ever done it once.  I know I should just return things when I don't like them, but I can't bring myself to do it knowing they'll be destroyed.  Plus, if it's an online order, then you lose part of the refund anyway because you have to pay for the return shipping.  (Yup, the one thing I ever returned was from an online order)  So now I have a small pile of products that I just personally was not a fan of sitting in one of my drawers.  When I look at that pile these days, I realize that I need to ONLY buy colors I know I really really want and skip the ones that I want but am not dying for.  This past year in particular added too many things to that pile!

I want to see my final wishlist.:( Where's the color story??!!!

I'll probably skip the purple quad, although it was at first the only thing i wanted.

 

Now i'm interested in

Boyfriend Stealer lipstick

and

whichever Pearlmatte is lighter and cooler.

 

Glad it'll be a small haul, since there are so many other collections coming out this spring

thats what i was thinkin too!!

i think thats soooo unfair to do the event parties like weeks AFTER the collections comes out becuz then they'll be dmn near SOLD OUT!!

To avoid the store to avoid the employee. Not cool. I have been such a loyal customer dropping tons of my money there. How disappointing.
I for sure want about 5 to 6 pieces im positive, with the Bad Black Opulash on my master list for sure. I'll probably skip the heart printed powders, they don't interest me.

i did too and i actually forgot to write mac to complain about it becuz i spend too many "penn-yayz" to be treated like im comin in for ONE lipglass n shood off like a mere peasant. THEY BETTER RECOGNIZE!!! so thats why i ONLY go to nordies for my mac cuz i get exceptional CS from them n plus they all know me so we have a good relationship!! but still...i didnt appreciate that rude azz chic

I am the exact same way! ONLY V tees for me...waaaay more flattering. And yes, the girls gotta have some room to move
