MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[Anneri]

I can't make up my mind what I really want of this collection!
Stereo Rose? By Candlelight? Both seem to have many followers here! Or do I just stick to Redhead, because - honestly - I don't use it that often?
Do I need Hang loose or Happy together? I have Handfinish from a previous collection and don't like it that much, because it has a lot of glitter in it.

I love MEs, and want Togetherness, although I own a lot of violets and purples! Same with Blue my mind - I have a lot of Blues. Are they really unique? *ponders*

I swear, I swing back and forth between 'shut up and buy them all because they make you happy' and 'you don't need a thing from this collection'...

 

[GoldenFairy]

Thank you Erin. I want Stereo Rose.

Maybe Petticoat too and I will see if any MES or MB calls my name. Never had a MES or MB before!

To be honest we don't 'need a thing' from any collection really - so just go with what makes you happy my dear!

If you love MESs then just go for it (pardon the pun!) The MBs in this collection seem to have less glitter than the colour craft ones so don't worry too much about the glitter factor. Hang Loose looks goregous but I'm just too dark for it. If I was fair-skinned I would snap it immediately!

Stereo Rose MSF for me. Thats it. I wasnt interested in By Candelight and Comfort when they were first release and I am still not interested in them. I think they probably will be available long after Stereo Rose is sold out. I already own Petticoat, actually 2. I haven't finished the first, so there is no worries there.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm excited for all of you who wanted the original Stereo Rose. I'm still passing, no likey MSF's at all.

Since the collection is being released soon, here's my potential list:

- Go for It l/s (a huuuuuge maybe)
- Chillin c/g
- Togetherness MES
- In the Groove MES (maybe, I just need anything burgundy!)

I might end up just with Togetherness though. There are better collections coming out the same day

Thanks - a much needed talking-to!
You're absolutely right - we don't *need* a thing from any collection really, and it's just so easy to get succumbed to any craze like the one around Marine Life.
So - I'll get some MEs and maybe one of the blushes.

 

[sungelly87]

I guess this means I NEED to get Stereo Rose...I always regret not getting the most coveted item from LE collections later on...must not do that this time! Still wanted Jazzed l/s and Band of Roses m/b

 

[laylalovesmac]

I think I am putting Happy Together back on my list. Yes, I don't like shimmer all over so MSFs are out, but I think I can handle a blush- and it is like my dream color. It is decided- I am getting it.

Go For It l/s
All Styled Up l/s
Hang Loose m/b

That's not too bad.....

 

[*JJ*]

erin, you made a lot of people here very happy!
thanks for the info!

 

[marajode]

All that 80's band talk makes me a happy, happy girl.
Going to see the Scorpions next month!

And in my dreams Simon Le Bon was sooo my boyfriend. yumilicious!

Trying to be good, so Stereo Rose (yay for Erine's info, who should get a ton of future commisions from Stereo Roses across the planet, lol).

maybe, but probably not, a lippie.

And anyone who is thinking of By Candlelight or Petticoat. I have both. I honestly think By Candlelight is 100 times better than Petticoat, and much more versatile. It is very flattering. The more tan my face gets, the more I love it. (I'm approx NC30, kinda darker, I change like a dang chameleon during the summer even though I avoid sun on my face)
I'm wearing By Candlelight it on my eyes today. No primer, no other shadow, and it kinda makes a nice neutral even toned lid.

Petticoat is too metallic, and is one of my least used MSF (and I have a boatload). I would only recommend if you see in person and can choose the veining you want.

Everyone is making me want By Candlelight again! I'll see if I can pull some funds together.

I skipped By Candlelight when it first came out because I thought I had enough MSFs, but the MA used it as blush on me the other day and it was absolutely gorgeous. If you skipped it before without trying it, I would definitely recommend giving it a second chance.

 

[foxxylatina07]

Is it just me that's getting antsy for this collection to come out? I wanna go to the pro store but Idk when they're going to have it. I'll probably stop by on Thurs or something. I can't wait to see Stereo Rose I'm finally going to see what everyone's been talking about all these years

 

[jazm1n3s]

What veinings does Stereo Rose have? Gold? If so, are you guys getting one with light or heavy veinings?
