All About Stereo Rose

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

My freestanding store in Metarie, LA (right next to New Orleans) had 2 left when I left about an hour ago. Call them for a charge send 504-834-9929.

I ended up with 2 Stereo Roses, Band of Roses, and New Vibe. No back2mac for the e/s trios, so I'll wait till they come to the CCO. Anyone had any luck back2mac-ing for them?

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I'm in Canada... I just got a Fed Ex notification that my items have been shipped. I only ordered Stereo Rose and a MSFN. I didn't order Stereo Rose until around 11 MST. Hopefully Stereo Rose comes... I won't know until Monday though.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I am sooo sad I didn't get Stereo Rose

I have been wanting to try since the first time it went out.
If anybody has extra and wants to sell at cost, please please let me know...

Why MAC did it again?

Happy

day, everybody!
I only got Stereo Rose from this collection so far, but I'm thinking if I should go back for Hang Loose and Band of Roses. The new blushes are very pigmented and beautiful.

My MA put Hang Loose on my cheeks and it was very pretty. But if I have Pleasantly, do I need Hang Loose? They seem close. I really like Hang Loose, but I'm still undecided. Band of Roses is gorgeous pink rose shade. But when I swatched Stark Naked rather heavily at home, it looked closed to Band of Roses. Stark Naked has a touch of pink though. Any suggestions?

Stereo Rose is a beautiful peach MSF. I cannot wait to wear it.

Anyway, I love visiting MAC! It's always fun!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I got my e-mail confirmations from MAC today saying that my items are now shipped, even Stereo Rose MSF was included! I cannot wait to receive my items next week!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I got my Stero rose and I love it!! The MAC store in square one was sold out when I went at noon but thank god the bay counter still had some. That is all I got I glanced at everything else but I passed it all up my collection is big enough but I collect MSF's and I have most of them now.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Sorry if it's been posted already (I just glanced at the last few pages) but I see that Dillards.com still has SR.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I just tried Stereo Rose and I love it. I don't regret tracking it down at all. It is way pigmented, glow coral with no glitter what-so-ever. I dabbed my 187 in twice and that was too much. 5 years waiting for thing, not so hot but totally worth it.

I do wish that people who want it get it.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

All this talk about Stereo Rose is making me want it! But I know it's way too late for me to get one.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Ok, I have a few things to discuss:

1. all downtown Toronto locations sold out of Stereo Rose. I checked Eaton Centre store plus both Bay counters at lunch time, all sold out. Checked Bay & Bloor after work, sold out. This is worse than ML - they still had ML the afternoon of release day. I did manage to locate a tester hiding under a display, so at least I got to swatch it. It's probably not for me anyway. One MA tried to sell me Petticoat - I was actually wearing it today, I already have it

2. EC store wouldn't let me B2M for cremesheen glasses. I JUST B2M'd there for one about 2 weeks ago - she claims a memo was sent out July 1 that they don't allow B2M for cremesheen glasses. Can anyone confirm?

3. Would Jazzed work on me if I have very cool, fair skintone? I'm always afraid of orangey lips. I thought I wanted I Like It Like That, but it's a little too purple for my taste I think.

I may have 1. I will let you know on Monday evening. I will sell it to you at cost. I am not out to make money. I just want someone to have it that wants it.

It might be a little far, but you might want to try Valencia Mall, too. There was no one there when I was (though, that was 10am) and they got in 15. Its a little off the beaten path so you might have luck there!

Lovely Erin got me one so I didn't buy one from the Valencia counter (my mother wanted to go to Whole Foods so we made the trip). I left it for someone who really needs it! Though, I really want I Like It Like That lipstick... Maye have to B2M if I can get my mom to drive me back anytime soon LOL. Thank goodness for her new addiction to Whole Foods...

I also went to Northridge Mall (not early enough, around lunch time) and it's sold out already!
Actually I also went the day before and they didn't want to sell the collection earlier nor were they willing to put it on hold! grrrhh!
Maybe by now every mall nearby has already sold out SR. Now I think I'm just waiting for lovely ladies here at Specktra who are willing to sell their extra at cost. Bless them!

Thanks K!

Soon the hype will die down and everyone will be selling their back ups! Exactly why i only get one of things like this.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I don't get all the crazyness about stereo rose, yeah its pretty but selling out in 2 hours in the US? Crazy.
It came out in the UK and i just went 2 days later to get mine. It sold out on the website in about 2 days here.

I think it depends on how much stock they got as well. I'm pretty sure Toronto didn't get much. I went to my mac store at 12:30pm the day of the launch, and they were sold out. However, the store was dead, there was barely anyone there. And no, they didn't put it out the day before because I checked (they put out To The Beach early).

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I went to the Christiana Mall here in Delaware this afternoon, after I got done work. My SR was on hold (and I didn't want a repeat of TTB), so I wanted to make sure that I picked my stuff up RIGHT away. MA's at our MAC store told me that ALL of their SR were HOLDS and that when they opened this morning. Luckily, nothing else was SOLD OUT (as of 2:30pm this afternoon)>>> Interesting Tidbit….implementing new rule about HOLDS for collection releases…..ALL items must be picked up within 48 hours of collection release—if not, then they items are returned to availability. GOOD TO KNOW!!

I played around with some of the other items…..but with my work hours being cut back this summer, I didn’t think it was right to go too overboard. So, I resisted the rest of ITG.

Then, I happened over to the Alice & Olivia display…..and fell HARD for Sparklicious dazzleglass……LLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUVVVVVVV!

So, I only bought TWO items, one from each collection, but they were BOTH the best for me!

After DTW, I’m done until Villains……..

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I have some cute haul stories:

First, I hit up my nearest Mac store right at opening and wound up running into this dear girl who remembered talking to me at the TTB launch. She was telling me funny stories about how her boyfriend tells her how he likes her without makeup, but then can never tell when she's actually wearing some and winds up complimenting her on how good she's looking that day.

She only came in for Stereo Rose but I coaxed her into having the MUA try A Little Bit of Sunshine on her (she had dark, very cool Asian skin tone) and it made her look like a sophisticated lady! So she bought it but worried she might be buying too much makeup. I told her just wear it all the time, even if you're just going out to the grocery store - you'll feel glamorous AND also like you're getting your money's worth at the same time.

We planned to see each other again at the next haul. I've got a new launch day shopping buddy!

My other cute haul story:
My mother had done a pre-sale for Stereo Rose at the Nordstroms right by her house, but I wound up getting one by pre-order at my usual Mac store which I picked up this morning.

I wound up going over to my mom's because I'd promised to whip her up a batch of my super special red quinoa salad, showed her Stereo Rose and she decided she still wanted to keep the other Stereo Rose for herself.

We are talking my dear 78 year old mom who hardly ever wears makeup!!! She has 2 lipsticks, one she's been using continuously for 20 years and Fresh Salmon, which I got her to finally replace that old thing. I didn't even know she ever wears blush hahaha.

'Told her I'd pick her up a nice brush for her new MSF, since an old powder puff ain't gonna cut it. There really must be magical makeup vibes in that darn product.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I got the last SR this morning 50 minutes after Dillard's opened. I was late getting there and was praying they still had one left. The MUA said they only received 3; 1 for the display, 1 sold to a previous customer and 1 that I got.

What a shame! Just 3 for a 1st day launch??!!! SMH!!

Oh, and I ordered around 8AM Tuesday from MAC online. Received the dreaded "backordered" e-mail. I really don't expect to get it and will probably get a "we're sorry" email in a couple of days. So, I feel lucky to have trusted my instincts to get to Dillards as close to opening as I possible.
