WOC: In The Groove

[Curly1908]

You've got to prove your luh-UHVE to meeeeee.

What do you plan on picking up?

I'd been debating getting either Stereorose or Petticoat MSFs, but the colors either look similar to Brunette MSF (which I already own) or look ashy on deeper skintones in the Product Swatches subforum.

I think I'd like "On the Scene" cremesheen l/g. I wonder how it compares to Boy Bait.

I already own Petticoat and I am not to fond of it. It can be a light pink color for a highlight to layer over a blush. With the dark veining it can become a frosty raspberry color. I have a lot of the dark frosty veining in my Petticoat MSF. I will pick up Stereo Rose MSF. Thats the only one I am interested in. The other two look really close to other stuff I already have. I think I have about 10 MSFs.

I am skipping the blushes because I just dont think they are worth the money for the amount of product you get. I want Blue My Mind MES. I want Go For IT l/s. I might want to get more lipsticks or MES when we get more swatches but so far my list is pretty short. I'm saving up for the Mac Venomous Villains collection.

I want Stereo Rose. I already have the other MSF's. And Candlelight and Comfort aren't ashy on me and I am NW45. I would say swatch the MSF's in person as pictures (especially with flash) can be deceiving.

 

[jazmatazz]

I'm looking forward to picking up Stereo Rose

Also a Cremesheen Glass but not sure which one yet. I have one (boy bait) and love it!

 

[bobbiedoll03]

I am for sure picking up Stereo Rose. My wallet is lucky that I am not a fan of mineralized shadows and blushes for some reason.

I am contemplating getting Comfort. If you own it, what are your thoughts for someone who is like NC45-NC50. Is it a must have or not?

 

[aradhana]

i think this collection is going to make me poor. i love cremesheens and cremesheen glasses...

sigh

O shoot i forgot about the cremesheens...well...im sure i will pick up some, that is my favorite lip formula.

 

[Notorious19]

I'm only wanting the MSFs. I already have Petticoat and I've actually been trying to sell it for the past 2 months. Should have put it on the market sooner since it's coming back to the stores and everyone is just waiting to get a new one. Now that one definitely makes me look ashy.

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

this collection will be the death of my wallet...im just saying...

so far based on the pics, i want:

-MAC A Little Bit of Sunshine Mineralize Blush
-MAC Band of Roses Mineralize Blush
-MAC New Vibe Mineralize Blush
-MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish
-MAC By Candlelight Mineralize Skinfinish
-Cremesheen Glasses in: Going Casual, On the Scene, Right Image

and I'll probably get permaplum pencil even though its perm.

must have. i'm nc50ish and i use it several times a week. it is the best msf i have purchased and it works well on my nc35 friend also.

now off to hear more about this collection, mes's here i come!

 

[2browneyes]

Stereo Rose- definitely. I'm thinking about Go For It, You've Got It and Chillin.

 

[sss215]

i am looking forward to the shadows. they are suppose to be more satin and not glittery this time around.

 

[Blushbaby]

How similar is Comfort to Sunny by Nature MSF from Colour Craft last summer?? I skipped it first time cos I thought it'd give me the same look. If I have Sunny by Nature, can I leave Comfort alone?

From In the Grove I want ..

Definates
Stereo Rose MSF
Petticoat MSF
I Like it Like That lipstick
Jazzy lipstick

Maybes
Band of Roses blush (I own over 60 blushes already! I need a slap!)
New Vibe blush
In the Groove e/s
Soften the Mood e/s

Not sure
Go For It lipstick (it has glitter in it - yuck!)

 

[LatteQueen]

these colors ..well some of these colors in these 3 July collections look like they won't appeal to darker skintone's...esp the MSF'S or the blushes..too shimmery or too pale...the e/s's look promising and so do some of the lip colors..I don't know, MAC is starting to seem to just throw anything out there now and don't care..just to start a sensation with these collections and not taking into consideration if all of these items can be universal for ALL SKINTONES..

 

[lenchen]

definitely comfort and stereo rose. I'm looking forward to swatches on the creamsheens...

Well, you'll be hard pressed to find a collection from ANY brand (unless it's specifically geared towards WOC) which will enable you to wear every single product/shade. Personally, I think there's something for everybody in In the Groove collection. There's a facial swatch of a WOC wearing Stereo Rose in the Product swatches forum on the In the Groove thread. Lots of WOC own Comfort, By Candlelight and Petticoat too.

On a side note, I've changed my mind about Go For It lipstick now after seeing a swatch (I would link you to it, but there's no point as it'll just get deleted .. again *sighs*). I think I'll be taking that baby home with me too.

 

[Soul Unique]

After a lot of debating, I think these are the products that I will be getting.

MSF:
By Candlelight
Stereo Rose
Comfort

MES:
Togetherness

C/G still deciding which 2 to get out of the 4 below:
Going Casual
You've Got It
On The Scene
Chillin

I had wanted 'Go For It' but upon hearing that there is glitter in it

not feeling it anymore!

speaking of blush, band of roses and new vibe blushes look pretty good for my skin tone (NC50/NW45/47 MAT Velvet 80) from these pics. check out them out at the link below. everything else looks like they could be good highlights or bronzers on darker WOC. some of these work for lighter skin, women of color.

i look at it like this, even when MAC doesn't release items that seem universal, i just find myself loving the older, highly pigmented blushes burnt pepper, full fuchsia, salsarose, etc. i mix them with my MSFN and its a good look.

MSF for me is like this, you done one, you are good. i still love warm blend and MSFN in deep dark. i am not that big on MSF. if stereo rose is all that like people say... the new stereo rose, cause i read its going to be different, then i may get it. if not , i am not missing much and with them all being LE's once they are gone, what are you gonna do? i feel like sometimes, MAC can't reinvent every wheel. they have some great staples for WOC, so do, MUFE and NARS.

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

i really love the shadows in this collection the best.

 

[bobbiedoll03]

The shadows do look gorgeous for this collection. I am contemplating picking a few of those up now.

Why o Why mAC

 

[lenchen]

I'm getting I like it like that, go for it, and call my bluff lipsticks. In the Cremesheens it's going to be you've got it, MSF's in comfort and stereo rose, and band of roses blush.
