Can someone in that color range give me some tips? She's only here for another few days and I want to send her home with the BNIB one I got her. Thanks.

that's very nice of you, but why not getting her something easier to work with. SR is a highly sought after product doesn't mean it's right for everybody, so if she's not into collecting makeup and it doesn't show up on her, i don't see the point

Try using it as a topper for a gel blush or cream blush.
Stila's got some great convertible colors it's GORGEOUS over, I know that on me, putting it over Lillium is SUPER pretty. Just a thought.

I agree, as someone who is NC50, this didn't show up very well on me..more like a highlighter. I use mine over Mac ambering rose blush.

 

[sapnap]

^^ yup.. over Ambering rose or Merrily or anything in the peach or coral family really or a creme blush like Joie De Vivre.. (i shud really stop raving abt JDV everywhere!)

i am wearing this today over super duper natural blush

looks quite pretty

seems like the hype has died down now!

 

[Susanne]

Yes, just like it did with Marine Life

Stereo Rose is everything I wanted it to be!!!! I've been using it religiously since it came out =D

 

[Fiberluver]

Aww.,

Poor ML!

I'm still loving mine eventhough I have given myself an msf challenge. I try to use ML at least once or twice a week!

I've used mine so much the design is starting to fade around the edges!

It is such a pretty and unique color that can be incorporated into a lot of looks.

Thanks for the tip about using Stereo Rose over Merrily, Style Demon and other red toned blushers.

I had not thought of that one eventhough I am going to try it over Ambering Rose sometime soon!

I love Ambering Rose! Its such a gorgeous color.

I rave about it every time I wear it!

My fav. msfs of late are SR, Glissade (my new love), WB, GD, SBN, Brunette, SC and Petticoat.

yes by candlelight is very pretty! subtle but beautiful!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I've used Stereo Rose MSF over Merrily MB and it's GORGEOUS!!!

 

[franken_stein]

Am I the only one out there who still wants it, but doesn't have it? eBay is going to be my last resort... but I'm not sure if I really want to succumb to that yet! Those prices are kind of ridiculous. But I guess at this point it's probably my best bet, right?

I think I found a dupe - KIKO's (Italian brand) Bling Blush in Stylish Mandarin. It's around 15 Euros.
Next time I visit my store I'll swatch Stereo Rose and KIKO's. For European girls it might be an alternative to SR?

They haven, btw, also some MES. I bought two (purple and a blue green one) and won't buy the VV ones consequently. They are quite good and I can't see a difference between my swatches of them and Temptalia's of the VV ones.

I haven't even touch my SR since the day I got it. eeeek. I better hurry up before summer is over.

i haven't used mine as much as i thought i would to be fair. but it's because i have my favourite msf's and tend to stick to them!

 

[Fiberluver]

I've used my SR a number of times but then I have put all of my MSFs in rotation!

I like SR - to me it was worth the hype!

But then I know I like Marine Life more because I've used that puppy so much this summer its not funny!

 

[Fiberluver]

Well,

I'm wearing SR today w/a combo of Merrily and Style Demon Blushes.

SR is lovely, still, and I'm glad I whined to several of my favorite MAC mus'a.

Both of them were kind enough to put 2 aside for me, each, so that's how my sister and I ended up with two!
