err -- all mineral powders which are compacted have veinings and each powder is different (slightly or majorly) from one another... so the only way to make sure you get what you really want is to have the SA let you sift through the products and pick what you want. If it is that imporant you should also be aware that even a tester will vary from the product you purchase.

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.

Have fun at the concert!!

About the MSF's, I totally agree!

Thanks HeyGreyness! The thing is, i don't know which one i want, the one with little or lots of veinings. I'm NC35 btw.

I am still contemplating the purple lipstick, just worried it'll be too sheer. MSFs & MBs are not for me. I can get away with a little pink opal highlight but on the apples of my cheeks, um, no. Shiny on my cheeks makes me look like a deranged disco chipmunk.

I need to read back and see if this is going to be at counters, because if it is I can go check out the lipsticks in person easily, otherwise I have to go into SF to the pro shop. *urgh*

 

[singer82]

so im def not getting any lipstick from this collection. Esp since I just saw the discriptions of the fabulous felines l/s! I still wanna get the nude l/s even though its perm though.
I'm excited to see stereo rose in person cause I'm still on the fence

Does anyone know the day this collection will be out IN STORES. I know its online pretty quick. I just need to know when to get to the store before they are sold out.

 

[peachsuns]

^ I totally forgot about the lipsticks from this collection!

I think the collection will be at the store on July 8th.

I previewed items at Nordstrom but they didn't have a tester of Stereo Rose so I assumed you couldn't pre-order it.

My list:
-Stereo Rose
-Calm, Cool & Collected trio
-Togetherness trio - for mom but I'm tempted to get one for myself
-Blue My Mind - I don't do well with blues but I keep trying.
-Jazzed lipstick - maybe

i'm assuming your counter didn't have it out...i was just at my nordies and it was there....but they didn't have the purple lipstick which i wanted to see most

That is awesome news that this stereo rose is the same as the first release. It is such a gorgeous color!

This totally made my day!!! Erin you are such a doll!!!

Hope you're feeling better!!

I've started loosing interest in this collection and now I can hardly wait!! I'm sooo excited!!

The only problem is, after such a long wait to get my hands on Stereo Rose, should I back up this baby or By Candlelight that I use almost everyday??

I honestly don't think the amount of veining in the Stereo Rose matters at all, not like in Petticoat where the amount of veining make it so much darker (or lighter). The veining mostly just gives SR a sheen, not colour, if that makes sense.

 

[Sophia84]

I don't know if anyone seen it already but Karla posted swatches on her blog!!!!!

 

[miss-lilly]

Um, the weirdest thing just happend...I just got a call from my MA and told me that the collection has just been released (SOPHIA DO YOU HEAR ME?

Completely CRAZY! Too bad it couldn't happen with a collection I care about

The only things I want from this is Stereo Rose and I also plan to B2M for 2-3 l/s
