All About Stereo Rose

[_tiffany]

My Stereorose arrived from Florida today, a long with two pigment samples of Melon and Old Gold! Thank you so much to tadzio79 for posting about the Bal Harbour Saks having some in stock and another huge thank you to Maygan from Bal Harbor Saks for being the nicest MA I've purchased from - and all the way across the country from me!

I just got Stereo Rose today from my local Macy's MaC, (my first MSF purchase). I wanted an MSF but the hype about this color got me. I went to a store that told me they were sold out when I called a day before so I went there w/plans to purchase another color. When I mentioned still wanting to try SR even though it was sold out, the MUA told me they had just restocked one that had been put on hold. I bought it & I'm happy w/my purchase, but I promised myself I can't get caught up in another MAC release frenzy again. lol. I called lots of stores & was all over the web entering contests to win SR & I had never even tried this product... all because of the hype. Anyway, hopefully the fact that I lucked up today gives hope to the folks that have had no luck getting this product. Keep trying like I did

You and me both Elegant! I had briefly considered it when we first find out it was going to repromoted, only because so many have raved about it on this forum over the few years I've been a member, but by the time ITG was about to be launched, I wasn't too interested. Then ya, I got sucked into the hype. It was delivered today while I was at work, my mom put it "away" since it's pretty much considered to be a contraband item as far as DH is concerned!!! Love my mom, she understands!

Awww, I can't wait for you to get it! Let me know if you end up trying it out with Blushbaby

Arrrrgg, tres non bien!! I got my email notice from Nordies cancelling my backorder for SR, I was hoping it would go through since my cousin's bday was coming up and I was gonna try and get her one! Oh wells I shall try and search for an alternate gift for her.

 

[karester]

^^ Me too, I just got my email. It was my second order with Nordies cancelled for Stereo Rose.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

^It sucks! I was kind of hoping since I heard some places got a little bit more stock in that I would get it but nope! Very frustrating.

wearing SR on my lids today - very pretty indeed for a quick look! i was running late so used it on my lids with perfect topping blended up to my brow bone.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

For those of you who ordered Stereo Rose from Nordstrom with a backorder date of 7/30, I just received notification that they are unable to fulfill the order.

on both! Well, let me know how you like it. Mine is arriving Sat.

Me too, I had no desire for it when it launched either. I was even able to put it in my cart the day it launched

Thanks, hugs & kisses to our dear Shypo for the SR fix

I will. I'll do one cheek plain & one with blushbaby

Thanks for the idea

I actually decided to wear SR today to work. Risky on NC15, I know, but I used a very light hand and it actually came out all right. Looks pretty paired with a pale rose eyeshadow and some sheer pink gloss. I feel surprisingly....girly.

And my condolences to those who had their orders canceled. That really blows. I hope things work out for you. There's no reason to limit the supply (3 SRs per store? Seriously?) when all it does is prevent Mac from earning money on those sales.

 

[LMD84]

it sucks that mac just can't fulfill orders for this item

 

[Half N Half]

I would not have even known about the back order cancellations if it wasn't for Specktra! Apparently my order was cancelled and I was never even notified. I called Nordstrom and the lady told me the MA who took my order in the store should have notified me. So, no Stereo Rose for me...sad day

I just don't understand why there was such a limited supply in the first place. They obviously sent out less Stereo Roses than all the other MSFs because tons of people are saying their counters only got 3 or 4 each. Come on MAC! How hard can it be to just whip up another batch?! lol

 

[Lisianthus]

I'm sorry to hear that some of you ladies are having such a terrible time trying to get Stereo Rose.

MAC needs to make Stereo Rose permanent ASAP! None of my other MSFs compare to its texture and finish. I hope MAC will release new MSFs with the same texture and finish as Stereo Rose. I'm not buying any more glitter bombs!

Thank you so much for that swatch! I am going tomorrow to check out this collection, and you have strenghtened my belief that I can do without Stereo Rose. It and Peachykeen look alot alike.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Stereo Rose MSF is amazing! I'm thinking of trying it with either Ripe Peach Blush Ombre or Hipness blush.

 

[Visi]

I'm so happy

My SR is on the way to me as we speak! I can't wait to try it, and I'm so grateful, yet again, to one of the fantastic ladies from Specktra CPing for me

You're awesome!

Well I contacted Nordstroms and told her that I have had this stereo rose supposedly on hold at a store in texas for a week now and it says that the latest I will get this item is the 21. I know it's possible that it can get here by the 21 but I really have a hard time believing it will. She said my order was never cancelled or anything so customer service is going to contact the store to find out whats going on. It better still be there. When you hear for a week (and missed out getting it from a store on opening day) that you will be getting and item and then it not be there would make me actually really furious. I would rather have been told a week ago that I didnt get it so I didn't have to just keep waiting and could have took someone up on an offer to cp.

For those who are keeping track or wondering - I placed my SR order on Canadian site last Friday during the day, when it briefly appeared and then disappeared. It arrived on Tuesday, no problems.

I love the texture, but it's so darn pigmented, I can barely work with it (NW20). I use my 188 and barely touch it to the powder and then to my cheeks, then blend blend blend. Not a must-have at all for me. I had a feeling it would be too dark for me when I swatched it in store, but the texture won me over.
