My MA held a Stereo Rose for me and let me pick it up today when I stopped in to pick up some other stuff and she just happened to be working. They only had three as well and she let me get a By Candlelight too since they only had three of those too! She also let me swatch all the Digi-Pops and Dare to Wear stuff since they just got that in.
Stereo Rose is absolutely gorgeous.
I already got a hold on a backup at Nordstrom. I'll probably try to snag another one on Thursday when I go to the store to pick up my A+O pigments and to check out the rest of the ITG stuff. Not for me though - I have a feeling this is going to sell out quickly and there will be a LOT of disappointed people here so if I can get my hands on another it would be nice to make someone's day.
Stereo Rose is absolutely gorgeous.

Our latest info is that the new Stereo Rose is the old one, so no other "version"!

I don't actually own Hang Loose but I did swatch it in the store. The pink side was a nice pale pink but the lilac side was more of a highlighter, def. not lilac or pigmented enough to be used on a blush (on my skin anyway, I'm around NC20). It looked like it would compliment nicely the pink side but it would not show up much when used on its own.

I want it to actually look lilac though, and from the swatches it seems to err on the side of Pink. I wish they would just hurry up and release one that is lilac all over! |

anyone that has hang loose already, how do you like it? 
I have officially decided to hunt down a stereo rose for myself. the swatches are all so pretty and I should have at least one coral toned blush. the search begins.

I got my things!
I B2M for Jazzed, All Styled Up and surprisingly Go For It. I Like It Like That was exactly like Bubblegum from SCF on my hand, I already have two Bubblegums so I skipped ILILT. ASU was pretty similar to Saint Germain, but seemed a bit more wearable so I decided to give it a try (I look kinda harsh with Saint Germain). I had no intentions to get GFI, but since I had three sets of empty packaging I thought why not get it. It swatched nicely, there's a little shimmer there plus it looks quite wearable especially topped with a pink gloss. I also got Right Image gloss. I didn't see On The Scene, which was the most interesting to me, but I guess I survive without it. The cremesheen glasses are at the same price range with Chanel glosses here!
Then I got Stereo Rose and Happy Together. I was surprised to notice they were both 26€ (31,5 usd)! I for some reason thought the MB were cheaper?
Stereo Rose swatched quite light on me, not bright coral, more like a peach-beige-coral. It had strong sheen, but it didn't look metallic.
Happy Together was also light, beigey colour with sheen to it. Those two weren't very different to each other on my hand, but I'm sure they will look different once on cheeks.
Hang Loose didn't wow me, it was so light pink I thought it would look just odd. Very pretty colour indeed, but not for my cheeks I guess. Band Of Roses was beautiful, but I passed on that aswell (aren't I well-behaved
). If I would go back for some things I would get Band Of Roses and On The Scene. Oh, and New Vibe was so pretty too, that blush I would call sexy! Actually now I don't know why I skipped them!
The MES were again pretty to look at, but they offer me nothing, so skip it is.

Since you purchased Jazzed l/s can you give me a review on it? Is it similar to any color we already seen? or is it similar to something in MAC's permanent line? I am really interested in this color but haven't read anyone opinions on it. I don't have a MAC counter/store nearby so I have to rely on the ladies of Specktra. I have to purchase online.

I just got it yesterday and I haven't worn it yet so I cannot review much. It is medium peach/orange/coral, not super bright but still will get noticed. I don't have another lipstick like it. I remember it being compared to Ever Hip, I don't have Ever Hip but I would say they are similar. From the permanent line I don't think there is one that could be dupe/very close to Jazzed, atleast I don't recall one. I like the cremesheen finish, it's quite opaque but not too heavy, a bit glossy. If I should pick just one lippie from this collection it'd be Jazzed without a doubt. I don't know if this was helpful at all, but do tell if there's anything you would like to know more of (swatches?).

I would really appreciate swatches. I am NC 44 and I usually stick to pinks and nudes but for some reason I am drawn to this color. I guess i am trying to figure out if it would look good on me. The color seems quite wearable. I was thinking that it might be similar to MAC See Sheer l/s which is permanent.
