MAC In the Groove ?????????? (??????) @ Yuki's Lazy Channel :: ??? PIXNET ::

I'm excited for this collection! I want Stereo Rose and Petticoat!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Thanks so much for the link Miss QQ! I just had a good time going through and making a (preliminary) list

I needed swatches to really get a good idea.

I'm not into Stereo Rose OR By Candlelight. I don't like to add any shimmer to my cheeks, I'm already oily don't need more shine.

I want more from this collection than I originally thought, though. I either need to get a job FAST or narrow this down...

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

Thanks for the swatches! Stereo Rose does look different.. it is lighter :S

From the swatches I only want:
A little bit of sunshine MB
Jazzed l/s

And thinking about Stereo Rose after the swatches...

 

[jazm1n3s]

Thanks for the link Miss QQ! Stereo Rose looks really light in the picture. Doesn't look like the original SR at all. I don't know if i should get it now

I really really like All Styled Up l/s. I've been looking for a good pigmented pink lipstick for a while, and it looks like what i've been looking for. Hopefully it looks as beautiful on the lips as the swatches. Can't wait!

Great pictures! Ok my lemmings for the MES are killed, all I want now are Stereo Rose and By Candlelight - maybe just Stereo Rose.

My plans have changed and I will prob not be in the US when this collection comes out

- could someone pleeeeeeaaaase CP Stereo Rose for me? I really don't want to pay inflated ebay prices!!

The new swatches are very pretty! Thank you, Miss QQ!

Could anyone explain why there are two swatches for each product? Are these with/without flash? Or are these two different skin tones?

Stereo Rose are in the two pictures. Does anyone think the one in the display is more color accurate? In the image with 3 other MSFs, it really looks light. Maybe the flash washed out the colors in that image?

Making it Easy MES looks pretty. All Styled Up and Jazzed l/s look pretty, too, but I'm always attracted by the same colors. Hello, pink and peach! Hehe.

Looked like one was skin, one paper.

Thank you so much! I thought the lighter one was someone really light.

Thank you sooooooooo much, MissQQ!!!

For the MES trios, I like Calm, Cool & Collected but I'm thinking the colours may be easily duped? I'd love to use it w/my PR quad

but just the quad is enough, too!

Also check out the skin swatch of the middle colour from the Style Influencer trio! Gorgeous!

All Styled Up and now also I Like It Like That lipsticks don't appear as soft as I would have liked. They may still be great on my lips, but hopefully now I won't be eager to get them

They could be too cool for my liking. Still look gorgeous though!

For the CSG I like the two "soon-to-be" permanent ones (YAY!

) and also Going Casual. I may already have a dupe colour-wise for GC. The skin swatch and paper swatch look so different. I may have dupes for both..

And I wanted By Candlelight when it came out last time but I couldn't decide! I did get Shell Pearl but as a MAC addict, I see the difference between the two

Also, these swatches of Stereo Rose are exquisite!! Now I'm wanting this too and it wasn't on my list

 

[openexpression]

PLEASE tell me that I don't NEED Band of Roses...and please tell me that I can dupe Jazzed lipstick with Ravishing lipstick...

Why must I be cursed to love all things coral/orange/peach???

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I actually really like the looks of "Fresh & Easy." I'm not really big on mes's so I was kind of surprised to find one I definitely don't want to pass up.

Awesome pics!

I already have Petticoat and By Candlelight, but I'm thinking of getting a backup of Petticoat... even though I have a bunch more MSFs and I doubt I will even finish one in the next 40 years.

I'm DEFINITELY getting Stereo Rose. I've wanted this one for a couple of years now! I'm also getting Love to Love, because the band I'm in covers that song.. so I have to get it for the name.

I'm liking the look of Togetherness (mmm purple), and sort of Style Influencer, but I never ever ever use colors as light as the lightest color in that trio, so I kind of feel like i'd be a waste. CCC would look AWESOME with the PR quad, agreed! :nod:

I'm undecided on the lipsticks. I don't do brown, and even Creme d'Nude looks too beige-y for me (plus it's perm

). Jazzed looks like a nice coral, but maybe it's similar enough to Surprise Me that I don't feel the need to get it? Or Made To Order? I'm interested in tryng All Styled Up for sure (I don't have any bubblegummy pinks like that), but I think I Like It Like That is too purple for me... I can't even imagine wering Go For It. I JUST got into coral lips a couple months ago; I can't do purples juuuuust yet.

I'm a sucker for pink gloss, so Right Image is calling my name for sure. Maybe Going Casual as well? And I have to try Chillin', because it's unique and I'd kick myself if I passed it up without at least trying!

After seeing those swatches I'm going to get Happy Together for sure!

Thank you so much for the swatches- they really helped. Go For It is back on my list, and I now want Togetherness! I need to tell myself I already have every shade of purple imaginable and I don't need this! Plus, with all of the potential purple in Venomous Villains, I think I can control myself.

I am, however, worried that I will break down for Hang Loose. I don't have any blush like that and I think it wold compliment cool skin. Opinions?

I also love Band of Roses, but I would never wear blush that dark (I have some and I don't use them.) The pink is SO pretty though!!!

Creme d' Nude also looks like a perfect nude. I know it's permanent, so I will hold off, but it looks awesome and I have been looking for an awesome nude like this. Opinions on Creme d' Nude???

Damn,after seeing those swatches,now I want more

Based on her swatches, I am most excited about:

Togetherness eyeshadow trio - for the perfect purple smokey eye!

Hang Loose mineralized blush - pale lavender and pale pink

Stereo Rose mineralized skin finish - for glowy coral cheeks

Going Casual (bright blue-pink), On the Scene (peach) and Fashion Whim (light peach) cremesheen lip glasses - I love the non-sticky cremesheen finish as they make your lips so creamy and delicious looking; and these colours look absolutely gorgeous! ♥

Looking at the eyeshadow trio swatches, they seem to be disappointing. Most of the colours seem to be dupeable - even Togetherness which is on my list. Good for the wallet I guess!

 

[allThingsGirl]

hm. i wish the new release was as vibrant as the old one (stereo rose)!

i'm eyeing:
- band of roses MB
- happy together MB
- a little bit of sunshine MB
- and of course, stereo rose.

 

[caramel_geek]

Thank you so much for posting the link to the swatches!

After seeing the swatches, Happy Together is slowly creeping into my list. I don't have any blush that color and I could see it as a healthy after-sun glow on my cheeks (NC20 here).

Here's the updated list:

MES
Love to Love -- still a maybe
Togetherness

Calm, Cool and Collected
Blue My Mind

MB
Happy Together
Hang Loose

MSF
Stereo Rose

 

[caramel_geek]

Hmm...is it just me, or does Stereo Rose looks kindda light in the pic?

I was expecting it to have a darker color, kind of like Petticoat.

Wonder if it'll show up on my NC20 skin
