WOC: In The Groove

[Sass]

Ok so I finally took back Soften the Mood MES and Jazzed l/s - I couldn't get it to work for me

. I exchanged it for that blush in A Little Bit of Sunshine...it's pretty. I'm going to see what I can with it. I like a little shimmer in my highlight so this may work. I can do a light contour with the brown side...mix it up to give a glow to my cheek. I'm keeping it.

OK so I think I'm done with In The Groove now as far as returning and exchanging.

I went ahead and picked up Band of Roses and Petticoat!

I am in LOVE with both! Lol..and of course no sign of Stereo Rose..I wish I could just see it in person...

I do and I love it! I'm NC45 and it gives me a beautiful, soft, glow from within look. It's not sparkly or glittery at all. Just make sure to blend it. I like to use a kabuki brush with it. HTH!

Did anyone pick up A Little Bit of Sunshine m/b?? I wanted to get it but the glitter factor in it turned me off.

I bought it. If you have Cheeky Bronze MSF you don't need it as it is similar to the glittery side of A Little Bit of Sunshine. The darker side is comparable to Eversun I reckon. I mainly bought it to wear over my cream blushes. I love the effect of the Mineral Blushes over a base.

Here are some comparison pics with other peachy/brown blushes: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f217/m...ml#post1985875

I got A Little Bit of Sunshine. I didn't think it was too glittery at all. spectrolite says it reminds her of Cheeky Bronze. Honestly I can't say because Cheeky Bronze didn't make enough of an impression on me and I didn't buy it. I like A Little Bit of Sunshine however and it is a nice neutral. It would look great over a cream product. I could see it being close to Eversun (which I don't have because I couldn't get enough color payoff out of it, although I wish I had it now to layer over a cream blush so if anyone has spotted it at a CCO, please holla at me!) but more brown and less orange. HTH.

ETA:
I decided to play around with ALBOS tonight and I am very on the fence about it. It is so neutral and natural that I don't know whether or not it serves a purpose. It am going to let it set and check it a couple of more times before I decide whether or not to keep it.

Update:
I've discovered a use for this blush. It's looks very nice over really red blushes (Frankly Scarlet Apple Red (Pro), NARS Exhibit-A) as it sort of blends the brighter shade so it doesn't stand out so much against your other makeup, but still looks bright. Still not sure if that's enough of a reason to keep this one....

I'm NC45 with pigmented lips and "Go For It" looks Fabulous on my lips with minimal color change. Wore it with a lavender top and got plenty compliments. Even made 2 sales for MAC(walking advertisement). If possible visit your nearest MAC counter and try it for yourself. HTH.

I know I'm late on this collection, but I just bought I like it like that lipstick and Going Casual today. I love them. This create the pinky/purple light lip that I wanted from Lavender whip and Bubble Gum lipstick but never got. I also use cork lipliner with it to frame out my lips with it, but think i may try using a purple/plum liner to make a more bold lip.

I just order it from Nordstroms website on Thursday Morning and I got is yesturday. They sent it from a local store about 40 miles away from me. I also saw it on Dillards website that same time, but their shipping was more. I love it and I'm so glad I decided to get it. It makes a bold statement but not too over the top to wear during the daytime with a neutral eye. They need to make this and Call my Bluff permenant!!!
