I have a confession to make. (Oh it always makes me nervous to start a post like this!)
I gave in to the MAC Stereo Rose Mineralized Skinfinish hype. Considered a legend in MAC history (I know, seriously?!), I wasn’t even looking at buying anything from In The Groove. But when I woke up on Tuesday morning, everyfreakinbody on Twitter was talking about it. A few Google searches for swatches, and then I found myself hitting “checkout.”
I’m not one to usually believe the hype around certain products, but here I am, giddy to receive my new loot. I opened the package this morning, but I still feel kinda guilty about it. Of course some swatches and pretty pictures always make me feel a tad bit better…
Swatches: Dry (top) / Wet with Fix+ (bottom)
Applied dry to cheeks using kabuki brush
Worth The Hype?
While all this craziness is ridiculous, I think Stereo Rose is a very pretty coral that a lot of people can easily pull off. So yes, I think it is worth a hype — but not that much hype. What do you think? Were you one of the lucky ones to get MAC Stereo Rose before it sold out? Did you go on a beauty spree on In The Groove? Share about it in the comments. 
I just wrote a blog post about this product this morning because I couldn’t believe all the craze surrounding it! It definitely looks lovely on you and seems to have a more refined consistency than Petticoat (which I own from a previous collection). I think I will be skipping the In The Groove Collection. I am swinging by MAC tomorrow so who knows what will happen

It’s crazy! I didn’t even know about this hype until everybody was talking. Insanity. Would love to know what you end up getting!
I gave in to the hype too…
I was able to grab one, I think it’s pretty but I also think the hype was too big for what it is!
Anyway, it looks GORGEOUS on you! If I saw your picture and didn’t have one, I would really be mad!

You’re right: there’s hype, then there’s Stereo Rose hype. It’s simply too much.
Thank you.
I hope you enjoy yours!
I wasn’t planning to get stereo rose until i saw it available again in maccosmetics.ca. it was sold out yesterday. i thought… hm… lemme grab it and just sell it in case i don’t like it. nothing to lose. but i think i might end up using it LOL

I will snatch it away from you while you are sleeping. 
I fell for the hype as well and hit checkout too. I do love Stereo Rose and love it on you! Tres Gorgeous!!

It was partly your fault, hope you know that
It is nice though so I will keep it. That was a gamble though. It could’ve been a disaster if I didn’t like.
So pretty on you!!!! I haven’t given in yet…but I’ll sure let you know if/when I do
Bye bye gorgeous girl

LOL look who’s talking? You’re the gorgeous one.
I wish that I gave into the hype too! Everyone keeps talking about it everywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! But it looks gorgeous on you, def worth the hype. I just don’t think I should be buying anything until i start using up some of the stuff that I already have!

It’s worth *a* hype, but not that much hype, y’know?
Looks really good on you. I wanted to get it but when I popped by the MAC counter and swatched it, I realized that Petticoat suited me better. So I got that instead

Ooh good for you for buying the one that suits you better.
Petticoat is really gorgeous too, especially with a lot of veining!
I am going to return my BNIB Stereo Rose to Mac soon.
I ended up with 2 Stereo rose. I am keeping one, which willl more than likely last me a long long time, as I have so many more beautiful blushes, and MSF. I have Deep Throat, from Nars, which is similar.
Petticoat is way better and I have backed up that little baby.
Stereo Rose is preety though.
Ooh you certainly don’t need two. They last forever! I’m sure someone would live to get their hands on the one you are returning.
