MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[bis]

Thanks for the swatches, MissQQ!

Band of Roses is def off my list, just too dark for me. But Happy Together might have taken its place. And I might skip the MES as well. They look so light in the pictures, and the blue from Blue my might is not as blue as I expected.

The Cremesheen Glasses are off as well and the lippies were never on it

So that leaves SR, Hang Loose and maybe Happy Together. Not too bad, not too bad.

Yay! I'm excited about the lipsticks in this collection! almost everything in here that was on my 'list' has stayed on other than swapping one MES

After seeing the swatches I'm craving Ring of Roses...it would be great on pale skin for winter when I can get away with a touch more blush.


Is it the 8th of July yet? I'm wanting my stuff now!

I thought the same thing!...That SR looks lighter than I thought it'd be and that it would be closer to Petticoat than BC. I started to wonder if the names were mixed up but alas they are not. I thought this while I don't even own any of these. I'm going by memory of past pictures.

From the skin swatch, Stereo Rose looked almost like Redhead MSF blended together

I reckon the amount of veinings in Stereo Rose is a major deciding factor to how dark the swatches turns out

Miss QQ, love you!! Thanks for that link.

Togetherness MES

I'm trying to remember my no MES chant, but damn...that one will be hard to pass up.

I still need to compare the CSG to the ones I own, but I'm sure I'll get a few. The pink lipsticks are so pretty, and Go For It is awesome. I may never wear it, but I'm getting it.

 

[LMD84]

ok those are fabulous pictures!!! and fashion whim has jumped on my list! so now need to decide if i should take money from next months budget for it or ax chillen from the list.

this has made me so happy seeing pictures!

 

[*JJ*]

hmm...this might not break my bank as much as i tought it would. i love the swatches, but i already have by candlelight and petticoat. so far i'm not too impressed with stereo rose, i guess i'll have to swatch it in person.
i'm definitely getting hang loose, but it seems band of roses will be way too dark for me..

i like togetherness mes and i like it like that ls, so all in all i'm getting 4 items max. that's affordable

 

[lilibat]

Not sure about the purple lipstick, it depends on more swatches. Otherwise just not interested in anything here.

 

[s_lost]

I'm way more excited for Hang Loose than for Stereo Rose.
Blue my mind and Calm, Cool and Collected disappointed me. They seem so light! I love dark blues and greens.

My list:
-Hang Loose
-Stereo Rose (I need to see it in person)
-Petticoat
-Togetherness (maybe... I'm a sucker for those colors).

 

[DollyGirl92]

I'm a huge fan of the colours in togetherness, Purple/Plum colours are my weakness!

I either need to get a job FAST or narrow this down...

I don't like shimmer on my oily face either, it makes it worse. THe other day I was Skyping and I tell my friend that I'm hot, and he goes ' yea I didn't wanna say anything but I see you sweating' and I'm like 'nope, that's just my oily skin -_-

Get a job! Job= MOAR MAKEUP

, I don't make lists anymore because I never end u[ everything I want, or something that loos good online disappoints in real life. *flashbacks to Style Warriors and Colour Craft*

 

[Sophia84]

Love To Love trio MES looks really pretty!! If I'll get one, it will be this one for sure. But all the neutral MES look very sheer.

I was really lemming the Happy Together MB but it looks so sheer, almost like a beige highlighter, but I do like the beige tone, I'll just have to wait and see, otherwise I'll go for the A Little Bit of Sunshine .
That's it, no more lemmings for me!

 

[Momolovesmac]

Happy Together MB might be a good blush to use for smokey eyes?

 

[katred]

Thanks again to Miss QQ for the swatches!

I don't find it changes much for me (guess I'm getting good at figuring out what it is I'm going to like)

My list before was:

Go For It
Chillin
Stereo Rose
Petticoat

and maybe

Style Influencer
Hang Loose
Jazzed

on seeing the samples... I like Hang Loose more, so I'll say that's a definite. I'm a bit disappointed in Chillin. It looks kind of like a cool-toned highlight, whereas I was hoping for a really eerie looking light blue. I'll see what I think when it's in stores.

I like Togetherness, although I'd like to see it in person to judge how close it is to colours I already have. Style Influencer is nice, but seeing the swatches, I'm increasingly convincer that the colours would not work on me.

So, a couple of tweaks, but I'm still in basically the same place I was before. Except that at least now I've seen swatches of something, so I feel a little bit of satisfaction...

That's what I have been thinking, something easy to wear yet still makes you look healthy and glowy.

 

[lovesongx]

My list after seeing the swatches:
MSF in By Candlelight, Stereo Rose and Petticoat - I'll be looking for the darkest Stereo Rose my MAC store has if it's really that light!
MB in Hang Loose - this looks a bit pale but I love the colours too much to pass!
MES in Togetherness - pretty!
Lipstick in either I Like It Like That or Right Image - I'm not sure yet, I'll wait for more swatches or until I see them IRL

Off my list after seeing swatches:
Cremesheen lipglass in Right Image - I can't justify another pink lipgloss!
Comfort MSF - Looks too orange for me (NW15/20)
MES in Calm, Cool and Collected - I have similar shades already
MES in Love to Love - again, it's dupeable
MES in Blue My Mind - wasn't what I expected

 

[Flaminbird]

I was thinking of getting Stereo Rose but like some others have said that swatch link makes it look like. Petticoat looks darker then it and I had Petticoat and swapped it because it barely showed up on me

But in that display pic I'm certain Petticoat is on the top left and Stereo Rose on the far top right and it looks more like it should there

 

[nunu]

Thanks for sharing the link MissQQ, i think this collection will be the death of me!!

 

[miss_primer]

My list is:
Band of Roses MB (I usually skip mineralize blushes but so far its a must.)
Blue My Mind MES(Its a maybe but I don't have these colors in my collection.)
Stereo Rose MSF (x2)
I Like It Like That l/s
All Styled Up l/s
Creme D' Nude l/s (I keep saying I will b2m for this item. Just keep forgetting.)
