Eugenia you got exactly the same blushes that I did!
Isn't Happy Together so very pretty? I love it!
I cannot wait to get Togetherness. I blame you enablers!
I was so sure nothing could make me buy these MES but all mighty Specktra did it!

I caved and got Band of Roses--but I will probably end up using it as an eyeshadow. I am not so thrilled about the In the Groove MES. It doesn't show up as pigmented as I hoped. Maybe I should try it wet?
Nordies lost my Petticoat and Jazzed in the mail. Oh well, more money for FF and Rodarte. I am pretty happy with Crosswires and Made to Order for pinkish coral lippies. Anyone compare Jazzed to those or or Fresh Salmon or SeeSheer?

^Jazzed and Fresh Salmon are not even close. Jazzed is more of a peachy coral while Fresh Salmon is a pinky coral.

I thought this might be interesting to those who are looking to get Hang Loose MB. I found this one someone's blog about a dupe for the blush. Here is the link: Will Work for Makeup...: MAC Hang Loose Mineralize Blush Dupe.

Same here. I'm in a Hang Loose short break now. I had been wearing Hang Loose nonstop since I bought it. I should go back to HL soon. Cannot stay away from this baby for too long.

This is very interesting. I have all the products she used for her experiment and I love them all. Thanks for the link!

Must be her skin tone because I have both and they look nothing alike on me and they apply very differently.

In the Groove came out in Australia last week and thanks to the great reviews and swatches on here I was able to make some wonderful purchases! I bought and LOVE my jazzed l/s, stereo rose MSF, fashion whim l/g, new vibe and happy together MBs.
However, I am not loving In the Groove MES trio. I bought it because I thought the colours were very pretty, different to anything I have, and they swatched ok on my hand.
I have tried it over Painterly paint pot but the two pale colours are just not very pigmented on me (NC 40). Even when I pack on heaps of colour the peachy and gold/green colours don't show up, they just look sort of muddy coloured with a bit of shimmer!
The dark burgundy/brown colour is more pigmented but it still looks muddy when I use it in the crease with one of the other two colours on the lid, even with minimal blending.
Does anyone have any good colour combinations using this trio (+/- other perm colours) or advice on using it? This is my first mineralize e/s so I'm not used to using them, maybe it's a technique thing.
TIA!

Back from China and now i have to catch up over 3 weeks on specktra!
I finally got to play with my ITG stuff. I bought By Candlelight, Petticoat and Stereo Rose. Yesterday i wore Petticoat as blush and today i'm wearing Stereo Rose as blush with By Candlelight as a highlight. I love them all

I experienced the same problem w/ITG mes as well. I returned it and picked up something else.
I really loved the shades - the avocado green was interesting but it didn't work for me - wet or dry - over p/p, paint or shadestick.
