Mine was ordered early on the 24th and didn't go out until yesterday. They were closed and didn't ship until then. Mine was delivered today; yours may still arrive as well.My order is still pending, and I ordered around 2am Dec. 23rd....Something must be wrong here...so I contacted MAC's order department before I get too worried. I really want my Stereo Rose... and I refuse to use evilbay to get it -____-
Both. Stereo Rose has enough color to be a blush and a highlight. Sometimes that's all you need on the cheeks. When I put it on I was able to see the color and it just brightened my face, so I didn't feel the need to add a blush on top. (Same thing happened with Superb MSF the other day. I opted out of wearing a blush and received many compliments).
If I want a deeper flush to the cheeks, then I would use it as a highlight in conjunction with a blush.
It really just depends on the look you are going for
I prefer to add blush since I wear a full face of makeup most of the time. But I'm sure I will wear it alone at some point (lazy makeup days) hehe
Yesterday I wore it with the perfect cheek and it was nice and dewy just gorgeus. Today I wore it with Mighty Aphrodite Blush (peach side) and I was LIKE DAYUMMMMMMthat's looks hot. LOL
although I think for most it would be too coraly or summery but I love it, brightens up my face.

Happy early birthday! Enjoy your goodies!:bouquet:On the upside, it's my birthday in a few days so I didn't actually have to pay for any of this myself.

Thanks so much, darling. I totally suck at taking decent photos, so I try to make up for it with detailed descriptions. I don't want to be an indiscriminate enabler, but I did loooooove this collection.

I agree! This is my favorite collection in a while!Silver Birch looks the smoothest of all of them, especially when applied with a slightly damp brush - it had a really metallic sheen that way on me, and my lids aren't very smooth. I'd say Winter Pursuit and Fireside were the next smoothest, while FaM was entering the sparkle zone (though could be made to look really smooth if you did a dry layer and a damp layer over carefully). Ice was the sparkliest one, where you get a textured effect (but I think that's the look it's supposed to have).

You're going to love Hot Chocolate. I bought 2 lol and I got one for my sister in law. My MAC store and MAC counters are officially sold out of Hot Chocolate. I had to hunt it down and purchased the very last one from Macys.
I bet you will receive the fedex email soonMy order is still pending, and I ordered around 2am Dec. 23rd....Something must be wrong here...so I contacted MAC's order department before I get too worried. I really want my Stereo Rose... and I refuse to use evilbay to get it -____-
I got mine not too long ago. With standard delivery I'll be getting my order on Jan 2nd. Not too bad!

I feel like I'm set for neutral but non-boring looks for the whole year with this collection! Here's hoping I can keep myself in check when it comes to casual MLBBs and blushes well into 2013. I sure am not running out of options now that I hauled the heck out of this one.

I totally agree - they're more like the Glitter & Ice ones than the Naturally ones, but less frosty and fallout-y.
I'm actually kind of jealous of all you folks who didn't need much from this collection - this is probably my first haul that gave me such extreme pleasure AND pain. I don't want to get into an S&M relationship with my makeup, lol!

Cozy Up = mid-tone, more peach nude effect with brown undertone
Delectable = lighter than Cozy Up by about 30%, much more yellow/apricot
I think they're very different. Cozy Up has that retro 70's vibe, big time, while Delectable is more of a modern, off-beat shade. I love them both very much on me, but I'd say Cozy Up is probably a little more wearable overall across more skin tones.
I'm right along side with ya in the wallet pain department lol. I bought more than I intended but I know it's all stuff I will actually useI totally agree - they're more like the Glitter & Ice ones than the Naturally ones, but less frosty and fallout-y.
