The lilac side of Hang Loose also doubles up as a beautiful eyeshadow!

Ack! I'm so stressed out that I won't get Stereo Rose! I'm debating on whether or not to try to order it online Monday night/Tuesday or to try to get it at my counter... I have to call today to see how may they have and what I can get!

EDIT: Called my counter and my favorite MA answered (love you, Leah!). They haven't received their ITG shipment yet (shock-horror) so she didn't know off-hand how many of everything they would get, but since she knows me she's setting aside a low-bronze-veining Stereo Rose MSF, By Candlelight MSF, and Jazzed l/s. Yay for awesome MAC employees!

I wore Band of Roses today and it can be used very subtly. I'm quite fair (Light Medium to Medium MSFN, so around NC/NW15-20) and it looked fine on me. Of course it can be layered for a darker/brighter look too.

I'm so happy for you PinkBasset, it seems you got everything you wanted and more! I ended up ordering Stero Rose, I just couldn't resist anymore.

I found a blog post comparing Sea Sheer, Ever Hip, Jazzed, Dressmaker and Made to Order: Mögliche Dupes zu Jazzed (MAC In the Grove) Can somebody translate what's being said about those lippies below that pic?

I guess Jazzed is somewhere between Ever Hip and Dressmaker which makes me want to try it! Damn, why do I have to live so far away from the counter

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I went to the Pro store hoping to pick up Stereo Rose, no such luck, sold out!

Let the frenzy begin!

This is crazy. Since this item is so sought after, I really didn't think it would be as limited as Marine Life but I guess it is. I'm not sure what to do now. I really don't want to call all over the place for one. I may just take my chances and try to catch it when it hits the mac site.

I did get Cool,Calm & Collected and Togetherness. I'm still debating another eyeshadow trio and a blush.

Here's how Google Translate translated the comparison text:

See Sheer from the permanent line is much darker and more reddish than Jazzed.

Ever Hip from the Liberty of London comes to the LE Jazzed very, very close. He is still a bit brighter and slightly more orange.

Dressmaker, Dressmaker from Prêt-à-Porter LE is the most similar Jazzed. The colors are only slightly different. Dressmaker, Dressmaker's something neutral, beige.

Made To Order also made of the pret-à-Porter LE is darker and direction is more brownish.

Conclusion: Who Ever Hip or Dressmaker, Dressmaker already has Jazzed can easily skip. Unless you are a huge fan of that color (like me).

i'm not fluent in german, but i *think* it says:

See Sheer: Darker and Redder than Jazzed
Ever Hip: very very close. it's lighter and a bit more orange than Jazzed.
Dressmaker, Dressmaker: also very close, but a little more neutral/beige than Jazzed.
Made To Order: darker and more brown than Jazzed.

basically, if you own any of the above colours, you don't need jazzed unless you're a big fan of that shade.

native german speakers will probably tell me that i've got that totally wrong!

 

[sungelly87]

ahh it's kinda driving me crazy that corals are so hard to identify. Because I think Ever Hip looks pinkier than Jazzed. I will just have to swatch it myself, somehow...

 

[keijukainen]

Thanks for the translations! I don't know any German but it seems I actually understood the parts about Ever Hip and Dressmaker

They all seem to be in the same colour family and I probably don't need another peachypinkish lippie but I'm still tempted to get Jazzed. It's just so pretty

 

[spunky]

it is very pretty, i would say get it but i'm the devil on everyone's shoulder when it comes to buying make up

 

[sungelly87]

I see slight differences in Jazzed, Ever Hip, and Dressmaker, dressmaker, which means owning all 3 is essential lol

I agree, I would've thought for sure that MAC would've made more Stereo Rose to distribute, considering it is one of the most sought-after products MAC has ever made. The counter where I pre-ordered is already s/o b/c they only got 3 in, my friend and I both got one, and that left only one more, which someone has also pre-ordered. Three do not go very far.

It also doesn't help that people walk in and buy as many as they can get their hands on because it's so sought after. I heard a story of how someone bought 5 Stereo Roses at a Pro-Store that only had 12 TOTAL. Maybe I shouldn't be angry about things like that, but I really am.

Anyway, I called my counter and they're reserving one for me [so happy I know and love my MA's!].

Is it sad that I totally agree? I don't know what it is, but I seem to buy peachy colors by the dozen! I am also getting Glaringly Hip from the dazzle lipstick collection. But they're all so pretty...sigh.

I am extremely tempted by jazzed after seeing swatches, but I don't think coral would look good on.

maybe I will get it to try it. it might start a whole new addiction and obsession.

Thanks dear, I'm happy too! I was prepared to see the SOLD OUT stickers, especially with Stereo Rose, but luckily everything was available!

I'm glad that you got SR too! It sucks that there's not enough counters in Finland.

 

[shontay07108]

Looking at the Temptalia swatches, I've decided against Jazzed. It's not going to work for me. So, all I want is Go For It lipstick. I may even get 2 because it looks so amazing.

 

[Flaminbird]

I'll just be getting the Stereo Rose MSF. I hope they dont release it early on Monday at like 3pm like they did before because I'll be working! I hope they'll wait till midnight like they used to.

 

[User38]

ooo.. ugggg.. I just checked Ebay and the gang there are already selling SR -- anywhere from $ 49.00 to $ 149.00

I tested this (it broke into pieces) but you are right - it is soft and sweet looking.. and can be made brighter by applying with a bolder hand
