All About Stereo Rose

[openexpression]

Hey ladies! Just wanted to let you all know that I believe those who received backorder notices from MAC online (US) will be getting your orders fulfilled. I received a backorder notice and I now have a $28 pending charge on my bank account from MAC. They likely just got in stock and are preparing to send the backordered SR's!

Good to see you here, K! Love your profile pic.

I remember you sent me my Northern Lights 2 years ago. Still one of my favorites.

For some odd reason, I used Coastal Scents jumbo fan brush to apply SR and it gave this beautiful angled blush look. I love it. I also use the jumbo fan brush to apply Cheeky Bronze and it also works great. A slanted brush might work but you might want to use a light hand.

I cancelled my backorder of Stereo Rose b/c I don't need 2, so some other lucky girl can have it.

I'm almost finished my So Ceylon and I don't have a backup so I'm thinking I should have gotten like 3 backups of it because I use it so much. If it's something you think you're going to use a lot then I say yeah you need backups, but if not one is good. I think one SR is good for me because I just use it for my cheeks. Depends on what you'll be using it for.

I'm seriously trying not to order Comfort, but it looks like it's going to happen since I'm taking back Jazzed and Soften the Mood. I need backups of Call My Bluff and You've Got It for sure.

I didn't get my email notice yet and no pending debit on my card.

I've seen So Ceylon in CCO's recently. Maybe you would luck out calling them?

I have way too many lip products to finish as well. I was looking at my stash and no I don't need another MSF period.

You need Comfort, it's no So Ceylon, which is perfection for brown skin, but Comfort and Sunny by Nature are must haves on our skin, IMO.

Depends on your skin tone. If you are very fair, a duo-fiber brush would be best to avoid over doing it. If you are medium to dark, a slanted would work, but best to build the color

I know what you mean. A part of me feels like I need to put myself on a No-Buy but when I see something I like I have to have it. I have calmed down alot on buying makeup but sometimes you have to splurge. Maybe we both need another MSF.

Me thinks I'm going to end up with a Comfort MSF by night.

Apparently this is my lucky week! I work in Center City, Philadelphia and frequent both the MACs here and all 3 MACs at the Cherry Hill Mall. Almost all of the MUAs know me pretty well, and were shocked when I told them I would be in Stone Harbor NJ on release day with no access to any MAC! I didn't ask to put it on hold because since I missed it the first time, and have never seen it in person, I wasn't totally dying for it. I figured if I checked Friday and I got it, it was meant to be.

Well, I rolled into MAC at Macy's City Hall around 10:30 Friday morning and got the last one!! It was definitely meant to be. The MUA said I was very lucky - they only received 3, and MAC Walnut received about 7 or so. I had gotten the last one in Center City! The Walnut and Cherry Hill crew were shocked. I also picked up Jazzed. On Monday I snagged the 2nd-to-last Petticoat, and yesterday at MAC Walnut I picked up one of the last So Rich, So Pretty polishes (Alice + Olivia) and By Candlelight. Usually I never buy entire collections (or many products from one) but this has been an unusually lucky week for satisfying my desires!

I was so sad when I first used a duo-fiber brush on my Stereo Rose because there was a TON of powder that flew off the dome and was wasted. But I finally found a use for my SUPER-soft Sonia Kashuk blush brush that I almost threw away because it was TOO soft to pick up most normal blushes. I just touch it to the top of the MSF dome and there's no excess powder that gets wasted, and it picks up just enough to give me a nice flush. Yay for finding the perfect brush match!

yes that happened to me! i am liking the 168 brush and just kinda patting the brush onto the msf

not as much waste then!

 

[PRiNCiPESSAx4]

I like to use a soft fan brush with all my MSFs, expecially Stereo Rose, because of the excess powder issue. It picks up just enough, and distributes just the right amount of color. I can also sweep the brush around the edges of the pan and the lid to use that extra color as well. The first time I ever used one, I too was horrified at the amount of product that went flying into the air and wasted! The fan brush works fantastically for me though, maybe it could help others too!

I'm another one that has trouble with duo-fiber brushes in regards to SR and blushes period. I use them for foundation or bronzer whenever I do use them. I have that 131 and I'm using it with cream blushes and it works good in that case. I use my Eco-Tools blush brush, my 129 or my 169 with SR. I use my 165 with my MSFs for highlighting.

I wore SR today and glad to report that it doesn´t emphasize my super large pores like some other msfs tend to do. Another

for Stereo Rose!
