Like most of us, I had also been impatiently waiting for MAC's new collection; In the Groove. I was pretty let down by To the Beach, which I was looking forward to even more than this collection. It feels like right after I see someone's swatches online, my opinion about these collections change drastically. After seeing the photos of swatches I knew right off the bat that I'll be skipping the eyeshadow trios. I am not really a fan of mineralize eyeshadows. I also dissed the liners and most of the lipsticks and glosses. Then I saw Stereo Rose and Jazzed...I just knew they had to be mine! Those were the first 2 products that jumped up at me and am I glad I was able to get my hands on them as they are both sold out right now :/
Stereo Rose was love at first sight and application. I have never used an MSF before besides my MSFN which I also love and use to set my foundation with and as a bronzer. What distinguishes the two is obvious; color! MSFs have multi uses because not only can they be used as blush but also for an over all color and highlight. I even see myself using Stereo Rose as an eyeshadow, why not? I use my MSFN on my crease, sometimes!
Yep, my coral obsession continues...Jazzed is a beautiful Cremesheen pink/coral lipstick and I loves it! Before seeing swatches, I was sure it'll be very similar to Vegas Volt (which I adore) but not quite. Check them out below...
Don't be sad if you didn't have a chance to get Jazzed, you can easily achieve a very similar color by mixing Myth and Vegas Volt! :)
What did everyone else get from In the Groove?

i actually really like jazzed!! i dont know how i feel about stereo rose lol but the hype makes me want to try it out - do a fotd with it pretty please
ReplyDeletexx
i just got my order too! ill make a post soon about it..all the products i got are very new to me so im lovin it! too mad i missed Stereo Rose but i have a feeling they might release it again since there was such a huge hype about it so ill wait till next time LOL!
ReplyDeleteI also got Stereo Rose. I picked up Petticoat as well. I love them both! I've actually already tried them as eyeshadows and they look great!! You have to use a primer/base of course, otherwise you don't get that awesome color payoff that each has. These two are my first MSF's as well, other than MSF Natural. One thing I learned very quickly is a little DEF goes a long way!! I will literally own these forever as I will never get through all of it in one life time! LOL - I also picked up Jazzed (which I LOVE). I love it on its own, as well as with Fashion Whim (which I also got) on top of it. Other than that only got the pretty purple lipstick "Go For It" and the cremesheen "Going Casual", to go over it for a different look. I got everything from Alice & Olivia! Except the purple and black polishes.I felt those 2 were easily dupeable... did you get anything from that collection??
ReplyDeleteHola! OMG, about Petticoat...the girl (Alex...yes I know most of the girls' names at MAC by now! LOL) Alex says to me....you only want one Stereo Rose??? You should get another...and while you're at it you really need Petticoat. All she had to do was swipe it and I said ok...put that at the register also! HAHAHAHA Petticoat would also look absolutely beautiful on you! I love the metallic sheen finish to them...as apposed to my other MSF-Soft & Gentle, which is all shimmer/sparkle (still gorgeous, u should check it out). I'm wearing Stereo Rose today. How come you're not a big fan of the mineralize E/S trios? I'm wearing the one I swatched on my blog today and I LOVVVEEE it!!! You should get Fashion Whim! ;) BTW, love the new blog theme - very classy! <3
ReplyDeletei loveeeee stereo rose! its a shame that MSF got sold out at the MAC counter by me :(
ReplyDelete@liloo, yes they both are :)
ReplyDelete@Hollywood, What a coincidence huh? MAC cannot fool me! lol Thanks for your comment babe! Glad you like my swatches! ;)
@Justine, yep good for those who didn't have a chance to get Jazzed! Isn't it the perfect color for summer?? :) Enjoy it!
@Rai, I know I know I'm so happy we both got it! :)
@MW, Oh girl you know you need Stereo Rose! And Coral Crepe if you still didn't get it! :) I'm working on a post w/ Stereo Rose right now, you'll see it soon! :)
@Amira, I am positive they'll repromote Stereo Rose, they must!! :) I'll more than likely get a back up of it when they do! It's totally worth the hype in my opinion :)
@Myisha, Petticoat is gorgeous, wish I bought it! :/ I wanted to get Fashion Whim but I have so many lipglosses that color. I didn't get anything from Alice+Olive, didn't really feel like it's me. Wow you got lots of things from these 2 collections huh?? Enjoy all of them :)
@NYCShopaholic, you couldn't help it could you?? lol Hey it's ok, we only have 1 life, we may as well splurge!!! :) The colors seem pretty in pan but not too big of a when worn in my case, I don't know..Thx for your lovely comment girlie, I thought I'd tone it down a bit. I mean I love pink and all but I needed a change! :)
@Vida La Glam, me too! Oh no! I'm sorry you missed it, but I'm sure they'll repromote it! They better! Many people didn't have a chance to get it since it got sold out in couple of hours, it's not fair!
Stereo Rose and Jazzed are amazing! I really want them both! I love that you added Myth to Vegas Volt. It still looks bright, but more my speed. (I love bold colors, but am a bit of a wuss when it comes to actually wearing them.)
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
