In the Groove is a great collection, but with Fabulous Felines and Venomous Villains in the near future, I have had to cut back my list considerably. I am only letting myself get two things from this collection.... Before, my total was around yours..... Of course, who knows what will happen when I actually see it in person....

I am so sad that stereo rose isn't the same one from the original release

I've always been looking forward to when MAC would repromote this msf...

 

[sungelly87]

I basically have the same problem of wanting too many things: Jazzed l/s, Band of Roses and A Bit of Sunshine MB, Stereo Rose possibly and maybe the peachy l/g...oh yeah can't forget Love to Love MES...

Even though July 12 is my b-day and technically I deserve a haul I'm still going to limit myself to 2 (yes 2) items just because I can't say that I'm going to PASS on any of the following collections, especially with LE packaging for Venomous V...Life is hard...

Exactly- I'd rather only get 2 items from here than have to pass on all of the other upcoming collections!!! Plus, MES are pretty, but I never actually use them.... Which two are you getting? I'm staying with Hang Loose MB and Go For It l/s...

Jazzed is extremely gorgeous and I would be buying band of Roses if I could pull off dark/pigmented blushes.

My excuse for getting Jazzed l/s is b/c it is similar to Ever hip from LoL which I missed out on...however on the rare chance that I find Ever Hip at a CCO, I might not get Jazzed...As for the MB's I might pass on A Little Bit of Sunshine and get Chic Couple from Too fab. I think Band of Roses would be wonderful for fall. I tend to buy more pigmented blushes b/c I think I get more bang for my buck if I just use a light hand...it might last forever...

So my 2: Jazzed l/s and Band of Roses MB...let's hope that it stays this way

Good choices- those would be my 2 if I didn't already have 2.

Are you looking for mineralized blushes only? If not I think MAC's permanent range or even the pro range have some pretty decent purple/plum blushes.

I know, it looks so sheer in the swatches. Very disappointing. But I'm gonna get it anyway, because it's called "stereo rose" and I've always wanted to own a stereo rose.

I have been thinking the same thing a lot of you have been thinking. I need to cut back my list. I think I may only pick up 1 or 2 things. I probably only get Stereo Rose MSF and Blue My Mind e/s. The only thing is a must have for me is Stereo Rose. I want to have as much money availabe for Venomous Villains.

i just keep trying to sell loads at work at the moment so that i get more commission for this collection! i feel i can cope without cutting things from my list if i earn extra this month.

 

[spunky]

judging by what everyone else is saying, i can skip stereo rose if it's not as good as the original one. that brings my list down to petticoat and the LE lipsticks [i know, i know - but i love them!] then i can pick up a few digi pops lippies, maybe skip alice + olivia and then be back on track for FF and VV

 

[Momolovesmac]

The Stereo Rose swatches are confusing....Is Petticoat or Stereo Rose more wearable on a NW25?

i want one like that...i don't see much of gold veining...

 

[Momolovesmac]

ya I would want a Petticoat with less Reddish veinings too so that it will look lighter if use on cheeks

 

[Flaminbird]

My Petticoat had no gold viening.....just the darker pink frosty color. I got mine at the CCO last fall but it was always too light for me and I'm an NW15-20 but pink undertones

 

[Flaminbird]

It is very odd that the "current" Stereo Rose looks different from the original. Here's a pic of the original one. Last one in the first Row

The new one for this collection looks brownish and not coralish at all

Yes the new "Stereo Rose" looks so different! The new Stereo Rose looks more like the third from the left in both row 1 and 2. How sad.

The original Stereo Rose looks breathtaking. There was no need to change it and with By Candlelight they already have a MSF in this collection for neutral lovers.
That bright and edgy products sell perfectly as well shows how fast Style Black sold out. Or how fast any lavender lipstick or lipglass sells out.

*heartbroken*

stereo rose looks sooo different. i remember it being much darker, more orangey on my nc15 skin.
