MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[stv578]

I wore Happy Together today... loved it! When I swatched it on my hand, it didn't look like it'd show up, even though I know my hand's darker. But it showed up great!

As Elegant described it, it's a beautiful tan colour, but all the references on here about it being peachy had scared me off getting it. It's really not that peachy, it's a neutral light tan colour with slight peachy/pinky tones and a glow from within finish. Didn't go orange on me and stayed on allll day! It's the perfect blush for the days where ya just don't know what to throw on.

Well, I finally heard back from Nordies site, I placed my order on July 7 and only got their reply today that they cannot fulfill my order for SR, good thing I was able to pick up some where I live, it was a hassle to have to go thru finding it, but I finally did! I picked up a few extra's (the MA was looking at me like I was nuts!)to give to my sister who fell inlove with it and maybe put the rest up for auction to give others a chance to get one.

Okay... I have to give a lot of love to Happy Together MB! I normally stay away from brown blushes (it's described as a 'caramel'), because it could look muddy on my skin and very unflattering. HOWEVER... this was the exact opposite! It gives me the most natural light tanned glow on my pale cheeks (NW15/20)!

It gives off the prettiest glow... and doesn't make my pores look huge. I'm in love, love, love!

If you're thinking about getting this... get it!

Hi Ladies! I need your help please.. I live in australia and ITG is being released on the 26th here so I have some time to make my shopping list.

My skintone is NC 42 and so far on my list is : SR, I like it like that (hoping it is kind of lavender toned) and Band of roses (Not too convinced that dollymix is a dupe for my skintone). What do you guys think? Anything I'm missing/should delete from my list? My obsession and wallet thanks you!!

I know! It almost looks like a bronzer to me and I never use bronzers, so it's not really something that would have stood out to me. But the MUA tried it on me and I loved it! It really does look kind of like a natural glow. I'm going to use it constantly.

Get it! It is so amazing. I even chose it over Stereo Rose! It looks amazing over hang loose blush
Looks like imma have to get happy together! It sounds so great. I hate bright/dark blushes. Makes me look like a clown. so this one sounds great

wearing by candlelight on my cheeks again today - such an awesome colour!

 

[liba]

Did a nice look last night with a bunch of my haul:

Eyes: Soften the Mood trio with the light blue on lid (wet) and heavily under the eye shaded out towards the temples (dry), the chocolate brown in the crease, up towards brow bone and winged outwards to blend with the blue past the eye (dry), the champagne/beige just barely highlighting the brow (dry). Below Ground greasepaint in upper and lower waterline. Opulash - 2 coats on top, 1 on bottom.

Cheeks: Band of Roses - contour with darker side, lighter side along the upper cheekbones, Petticoat dusted over and on temples and forehead

Lips: Jazzed with Perennial High Style over it

Nails: Just had a manicure with In the Buff (very glam)

I hope your procedure goes well I heard you should eat lots of ice-cream afterwrads - that should be nice, yes?

I totally agree with your list. The nudes in Love to Love are amazing and you always find a useage for them. It's kind of a essential must have to me

I wore the dark brown yesterday as a eyeliner and it looked amazing and stayed on al day.

haha...think so too. Better get it if you want it and will use it. Because later you may regeret not getting it...that's why I orderd Happy together as well yesterday.

Okay now I can't wait to get the happy together I ordered yesterday. I am almost the same type NC15/NW15. I am sure it will suit me too then.

sorry for the long post....

I got Go For It and Love To Love today and yep, the UPS smiley was on point!

Love to Love is great! I know I must have dupes of these colors (more like at least a few for each really) but I really like having them all together in the same spot. The texture is great with an easily blendable and creamy satin finish. They're quite vibrant for me and I have no issues with color payoff at all. I love the MES from this collection! I may have to consider another one.

Go For It surprised me at how wearable it actually is by itself. This isn't an everyday color for me, but I can see myself wearing it far more than I had anticipated. For those wishing it was more purple/dark, if you have Faultlessly F/W...layer them. I dabbed on some of Faultlessly, blotted, and then layered Go For It over the top and it was "PURPLE!!" purple. I'll probably never leave the house with that combo, but it was a beautiful color.

Ok, you've convinced me

If By Candlelight is still available I will get it

I just hope it won't be too similar to Blonde MSF?

Hi Dopista,

Stereo Rose doesn't have a lavender tone to it at all. It is more of a pinky coral. It is really pigmented and can work as a blush for any skintone.

BoR is not simmilar to Dollymix. Maybe the light side is close to dollymix but not the darker plumy colour.

If you like neutrals definately check out Love to Love mes.Blue my mind is another lovely mes. Also check out Happy Together MB (it looks boring but it is lovely).

I posted swatches of everything that i bought from this collection in the swatches thread. Hope this helps.

 

[s_lost]

I'm in love with the combo Orgasm + SR highlighting the cheekbone

 

[nunu]

I don't know if anyone thought of this but Style Influencer reminds me of the Pepis logo, lol.

Am I the only one getting advertisements floating across the page everytime I come in this thread? Shit is annoying.

I like it like that is a blue pink, I don't think it was lavender toned, just pink.

While I too tested them side by side and the colors go together, I get so much more color payoff from SR, I couldn't used to highlight on top of Orgasm. Do you use a very light hand?

This is so true & Caramel is a great color description. Same coloring as you & I love how it looks on.

Not every time but I do keep getting a floating ad occasionally. I hate those. The only thing worse are ads that talk to you when you haven't asked them to.
