I only hauled 4 items from In The Groove: Stereo Rose MSF (someone from MUA is supposed to get it from me, fingers crossed), Calm Cool and Collected MES (to make up for swapping away my Photo Realism quad), Jazzed l/s, and Happy Together MB. Not bad for such a huge collection! I thought I would have to go bankrupt again.

I'm still thinking of grabbing a pink l/s and Call My Bluff l/s, but at the same time trying to resist. Hehe.

Yes, Ever Hip is a fave of mine! It looks soooo good on me!

I think it's my fave purchase from this collection, although the prettiest to look at would have to be Summer Rose BP.

my Bloomin Lovely lipstick broke this morning! SO SAD!

 

[dreamer246]

Oh no.

Can you fuse it back using heat?

I tried that, but I don't think I did it right :/ I think I need a YT tutorial. I heated the base on the l/s and the bottom of the broken l/s, then but it back on the base. After that I put it in the freezer but took it out after an hour? Hmmm idk, Winnie, idk.

yesterday I had to swivel it all the way down in order to keep it from falling on the floor while using it.

^ oh no! why don't you depot it into a container and use it with a lipbrush? put a cute sticker on the lid, it makes you feel better

omgosh summer rose bp, i haven't really touched it much =( i keep reaching for shell pearl. and then now that i hauled in the groove, i've been using jazzed and happy together everyday for school. i love happy together! i feel like backing up jazzed D:

 

[GlamQueen21]

I haven't used any of the things that I bought from GMLOL in awhile! Even though I kinda regret not getting Ever Hip l/s since I bought it for a CP purchase for shadowaddict and should've got two last month but I was on a MAC break at that time.

That sounds about right. I did that once before too, for a broken Kirsch lipstick. Did you press the l/s onto the base a little bit when you joined them together?

I agree with the container option too. The only downside is that you need to use a lipbrush (I'm always too lazy to do so).

Yes, Happy Together is really pretty. I'm just kinda bumped that I got one with a smaller portion of the brown color, since the highlighter side doesn't really impart much color. Sigh.

^ i feel the same about my togetherness mes. i wish the middle purple stripe was thicker.

Does anyone know a permanent dupe for Petals and Peacocks? I compared it to GAT, but wasn't close enough for my friend who is looking for the dupe.

Oh and Winnie you look gorgeous w/ Blooming Lovely!!

 

[peachsuns]

^ Someone said Petals & Peacocks is similar to Gladiola. But this is another LE.

They're not same, but is Show Orchid close enough for your friend?

Thank you, I will check out Show Orchid! Gladiola is definitely a dupe but someone wants $39 for it on ebay, nearly the same for P&P

 

[InspiredBlue]

Show Orchid is the closest I think, but it's a pro product.

 

[peachsuns]

Those eBay prices are crazy.

I haven't check MAC at eBay for a long time.

 

[dreamer246]

I don't think Show Orchid will be identical, but I don't have P&P so I can't judge. Hope to hear what's the closest dupe you discover!

I had both P&P and Show Orchid and ended up returning P&P because it had such a purple undertone on me. SO is much better on my NW20 skin.

For the record, this is still my fave MAC collection of 2010 (so far). I love everything I got (except for P&P). I wear Summer Rose almost every day, I'm addicted to it. And Bough Grey is such a perfect blue-green-grey shadow on me, it's like nothing else I own.

This collection rocks.

 

[InspiredBlue]

From the comparison swatches that were around when LoL came out, I remember them not being identical, but quite close. I think SO has bit of a sheen to it's finish, while PP is more creamy.

Here's Erin's comparison swatch

From the pic I think it looks more like the pinker sister of Up The Amp.

I have hopes for Fabulous Felines and A Tartan Tale to make my top 3 for 2010 complete!

Yes, Yes, Yes. I would add Rodarte to that too.

I definitely thought this packaging was my favorite of all the special packaging so far. (yes, I even liked it better than HK--don't throw stuff at me)

I wish I had not been so broke when this came out, I am regretting not getting more of the BPs!
