Okay, I see what all the fuss over Stereo Rose is about.
I bought it off my sister and was like "Whoa! This is super bright!" but once I put it on and blended it out, it was really pretty. I actually looked like I had cheekbones! I'm still unsure if I'd use it for every day, but it's fantastic for the stage.

My MAC @ Macy's SAs went to NYC last week to see review the upcoming collections. I was only interested in hearing about the mineralized e/s form this collection. I checked back with one of them & they said that the mineralized e/s are very smooth, satiny & pigmented (think Sorcery & Fresh Mix), but none of the colors are glittery which makes them highly wearable for daytime. I'm thrilled to hear this as I love Sorcery, but hated that silver glitter half that reminded my of Forgery. I couldn't justify buying a e/s to use only 1/2 of it (only on occasion because of the boldness of the color) when I already have a bunch of teals (Aphrodisiac, Electric Eel, Cool Heat, Teal pigment, & on & on. lol!) There are 5 from this collection that I can't wait to see, but I think for sure 2 are gonna have my name on them.
I didn't get specifics about the mineralized blushes because there was only so much she could remember. Will check back with another SA shortly. Personally, I believe they are going to be similar in texture, glitter, etc. to Moon River, Love Rock, Grand Duo since she didn't recall anything outstanding about the formulation. So, although I love blue-pink & pookie pink blushes, I'm just gonna have to wait until we have swatches & I see them in person to see if I love any of these colors as much as I love Love Rock; which for me is gonna be pretty hard to top. Also, looking forward to checking out that blue-pink mineralized blush w/ the currently unknown date.

I wanted to take another look at the lipstick swatches, but the picture in that one of Erin's posts isn't loading for me. Is it just me? I think it is supposed to be in this post? http://www.specktra.net/forum/1920968-post255.html (But I don't know since I just see the picture loading failed icon.)

I could have sworn erine posted that only 2 of them have shimmer or maybe glitter (?) and the others are really nice and smooth, but I can't find the post now.
Maybe I was just dreaming because I really like the looks of the colors in Band of Roses. Anyway, erine's swatches don't make that one or several others look glittery at all.

This is excellent advice that I should really heed once the summer has ended. Very, very smart. I have been spoiling myself the last couple months because I was on a no-buy for a couple years that was pretty much successful. I purchased only essentials like foundation, mascara, powder, and lipgloss. I would sneak in eyeshadow only when I completely ran out of one pallette and/or pot. Since my no-buy ended, I've allowed myself a lack of self-control. But your post reminded me that it may be time to rein myself in!
And now, thanks to Erin's above comment, I can't wait to swatch the mineralize blushes. Smooth and sheeny rather than glittery sounds lovely.

If I want a product that hasn't been on my list before, I must cut another for it. Sad, but true 
But this way I can get clothes, shoes, purses or nailpolishes as well without feeling too bad. |

I want to know how similar Jazzed l/s is to Ever Hip.
Descriptions from MAC:
Jazzed - Bright Coral Pink
Ever Hip - Light Coral Pink
From Erine's swatches, they look VERY similar, and they're both cremesheens. I'm planning to get Ever Hip, but if Jazzed is a better version of it, then i want to wait. Erine, any thoughts on this?
