All About Stereo Rose

[color_lover456]

i love stereo rose! i have been alternating layering it over fabulush and tarte's cheek stain in tickled and it looks sooo good! i dust a little bit of nars (matte) loose powder over the cream bases first so that they stay, and then i use the 187 to gently stipple on SR...it's not overly shimmery this way at all!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to Marusia!! I received my stereo rose today (Gorgeous); without her buying extras and selling for cost here (unlike evilpay~that jacks up prices ~ridiculously) I would of missed out. THANKS AGAIN!!

 

[marusia]

Thanks Hon, I'm glad you liked it.

Too bad I couldn't have gotten like 300 for everyone else on here.

This is such a cruel reality.
So the old SR from back in '05 was great for me. I never had any problems with it and it never caused my skin to have a reaction.

I just started using the new SR, and it's making me break out on my cheeks like crazy. I've never had this many bumps even when I had acne problems. Gah. I guess this means I am having a bad reaction to it.

Did they change the formula or something? I never had this problem with the old SR or any of my other MSFs.

I wish I could get my hands on Stereo Rose. It sounds beautiful. It's frustrating when you don't live near a store and everything sells out so fast online. You don't even have time to think about it!

Add a dab of tea tree oil to your skin care routine before you put your makeup on.

I find that it helps clearing up breakouts and will create a barrier.

IHTH!

I'm really happy I was able to get my hands on this.

I'm still chuckling to myself that I fell head over heals with msfs at all.

I swear I had no idea what I was getting into when I purchased Gold Deposit almost 2 years ago.

Now I'm tracking them down one by one.

I figured SR would be soooo hard to get and that MAC would never release it again.

I'm so glad they did.

Plus, I'm happy all of the b/orders are being filled!

Wouldn't it be nice if it were a permanent item????

That would make so much sense!

Imagine SR and MR as perm. items!!!

Heaven!

yes tea tree oil is great on breakouts but can be quite drying

so don't over-do it!

Tea-tree oil does not work for me.

Thanks. I'll try it out and I hope it works because this is just making me upset after all the hassle of trying to get ahold of the new SR. Hah.

I'm so happy... I'm finally getting one thanks to a sweet Specktra member who had an extra. Just curious, how glittery is it? It's hard to tell from online swatches.

I've been wearing Spaced Out blush from Neo Sci-Fi, and Stereo Rose makes a nice combo with it.

It's not really glittery, which is why I love it. It has a nice sheen to it as opposed to a "I just got sexually assaulted by a pixie/fairy/5 year old with a penchant for glitter" as some of the other MSFs can sometimes look like.

Oooh, I will have to try this today.

Got my backordered Stereo Rose on Friday!

So far I tried it over what I had on on Friday (Tarina Tarintino's blush in Filigree) and yesterday (over Illamasqua's blush in Chased) and I loved both combos! Mine is pretty deep in color - not much in terms of golden veining, more red veins. I heard Springsheen was a dupe, which I have. I swatched them next to each other and Springsheen has more of a golden sheen (makes sense) - Stereo Rose, mine at least, doesn't have that sheen. It's more of just a straight up rosey coral flush.

LOVE. It's unlike any MSF I have (and I have 8 others). I can't wait to pair it up with other things!

I got stereo rose this morning.

I looked at it and realized there is very little veins. What would be the difference between one that had a lot of veins and one that had minimal veins?

Thanks in advance!!!

 

[misha5150]

I like to use Stereo Rose on the apples and cheek bones with Dirty Plum as a contour color. Just blend it up and it's so freakin pretty!!!

mine doesn't have much veining either

your doggie in your avater is super cute btw!

 

[InspiredBlue]

The veining isn't said to make a big difference in the appearance of Stereo Rose, as opposed to Petticoat for example.

I got my 2-backordered Stereo Roses from mac.com Saturday. Just picked it up from the P.O. this morning. Now I have 3 SRs. I really only wanted 2, but when my order status went to Backordered on mac.com, I rushed to Dillard's on the release day and got one of the two they had available.

I'm so glad I was able to get it.....I had no idea it would look so pretty on my NW45 skin. If this were one of the 1st MSFs I had ever bought, I don't think I would have purchased so many trying to find the perfect one.

I am in love! I bought 2 Marine Lifes and now I have my perfect MSF, Stereo Rose.

I love coral/orangey face products!
