MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[nunu]

Elegant: I remember swatching it and thinking that it is simmilar to Sun and Moon just a tad darker. I placed an order for it yesterday because i like using
bronzey shades on my skin as it warms it up, especially for summer.I prefer warmer tones to cooler ones on me.

But you are lighter than me so i do reccomend you swatch it in person.

Glad you got HT

I really do hope its ok that I'm posting another blog for swatches...

I just found this and it pushed me over the edge that I NEED Hang Loose blush. I just called the counter and put it on hold and hubby is going to pick it up for me this afternoon...YAY!!!

Temptalia did go overboard on the face swatches. I believe it's to show the difference between the blushes. Kinda like Karla, except she used her face.

I like "Team Petticoat"!

Petticoat is one of my favorite MSF's - I've used it so much the top is flat - the same as my Brunette.

I turned my sister on to it and I have a backup!

I like Stereo Rose too, however, and am glad I had the opportunity to get my hands on it.

Now for METAL ROCK!

btw, I love all of the craziness surrounding these lauches. In the past I didn't like the LE releases because I hated the idea of not being able to get my hands on the product after I ran out. But some great shades are LE and I decided I didn't want to miss out any longer! ;-)

I am still holding on to Wild 'Bout You - I use it sparingly and am sorely missing Rizzo.

Ahh, that is just beautiful on. I think she is so pretty. After BOR, that was the second blush I was immediately drawn too. It also looked really good on the MA that was tan
Thanks

Thanks elegant-one! I went MIA for a couple of months bc I just got busy doing so many things. I was anti-MAC too. But now looking at all the new collections is making me excited all over again!

You should get HT, you really should.

Yeah LBOS looks too orange? Or maybe Temptalia went a lil crazy with it. Idk. Seems pretty though.

Haha hopefully I can start playing with makeup again. Its getting rather dusty sitting over here.

This cracked me up!!

They were quite.... um.... interesting!

To me it doesn't even come close to how gorgeous and unique the others are, but that's just my opinion. I bought all of the others.

Did you

Are they all shipping or did you go to a store too?

ahh, so you got short-changed today then

So you like Blue My Mind. I thought they were such beautiful old fashion movie star blues - which I like.

I need to move to Texas. All the UPS guys that deliver to my place look like they'd been beaten with the ugly stick. No UPS eye candy for me.

I ordered a back up of Stereo Rose today from MAC.ca. Hopefully it ships. I wasn't wowed by this product when I first tried it but I'm loving the natural glow it gives my skin. I'm going to pick up Petticoat as well because I've been thinking about it all day.

 

[highheels]

Ahhhhh... all this talk of Blue My Mind and New Vibe is *seriously* making me want to run back to MAC and get them!! And a back-up of Happy Together. And maybe Band of Roses too.

Hellllp - I am sick with ITG fever - somebody stop me!!

2-Day for me

I think it is the more raspberry veining that is of issue. I would think if one had more gold it would just be more glittery. I have 2 Petticoats - one with more raspberry veining and it is dead center in the pan. This one is more raspberryish of the two. The other one doesn't have as much veining and it is more on the side of the pan. Neither one has tons of gold in it. I haven't really seen any with a lot of gold.

Aaah! I couldn't take it anymore and I ran to my closest counter to get Band of Roses and New Vibe. I must have left minutes before the swatches comparisons went up. I don't think it would have made any difference anyway. Once I have something on my mind, it is hard to get it off. Anyway. I knew New Vibe was very much like Bi-Tone which I have already. I actually love Bi-Tone but sometimes I would like less of the gold so I think this was a good purchase for me.

Edited - I'm pretty sure I'm going to take back Cool Calm and Collected. The color is just not showing up vibrantly on me like when I swatched it on my hand. The color combo seems to close to Photorealism quad which I already have.

freakin hilarious!

 

[wetwater]

Oh no, I'm looking at swatches and starting to want Band of Roses. I've heard it's great for dark skin tones, but how does the color work for medium skin tones? I am around NC35. It's kind of hard to tell from swatches but does it come out to be a darker pink or pigmented lighter/medium pink? Is it more cool-toned or warm? Ahhh

 

[elegant-one]

Mr. Ups just delivered my lone order of Jazzed.

It IS as gorgeous on as everyone has said - I Love love it on! The color is so deceiving in the tube compared to how it looks on. A lovely, lovely light pinky peach slight coral.

See, thats what is good about 'hype' (which I think is just what people love & want to talk about) or I may not have purchased it

Oh, & I got ripped off too - my ups guy is kinda old & bald - but he was wearing shorts

Unless you hate pink, imo - I think its a gorgeous duo for all skin types. It gives that fresh brightening to the face. Its def. cool. Just adjust the pig. on your skin by your brush.

Indeed-y. This makes the second UPS guy that is my eye candy. (Patrick!)


And elegant, I was definitely short-changed!

Oh, well. After all, tomorrow (or Monday) is another day.
I do like the Blue My Mind. I don't have a color like the middle color at all. It is so beautiful and vibrant. It will be so pretty on the lower lashline as well. I was surprised too how the lighter swatched... more pigmentation than I was expecting.
I forgot too, that I ordered Togetherness in that next order. But it's going to be hard to beat these blues.

 

[Shypo]

^^ Yes, Blue My Mind was a surprise to me too - had to have it. I did some serious haulage with this collection - I love all of it!

 

[pdtb050606]

I'm sorry if anyone has asked this, but how does Band of Roses compare to NARS Crazed?

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Amazing! Amazing! It hasn't even been two full days!
Stereo Rose has been hunted down and made extinct at my mac store!
And I went at 10 something this morning!

Got my hands on go for it l/s! It's so wearable!
