Hi everyone!
One of my (many) makeup weaknesses are cheek products. I just love an can’t get enough of them!
With their In The Groove collection MAC has released some great cheek products and so of course I had to make a haul.
Stereo Rose swatches? No. Of course not because when I looked online it was already sold out and I didn’t even tried it at the Counter and Store. With this hype, the ridiculously limited stock and a fulltime job I had no chance to get a Stereo Rose by myself. Well done MAC! Oh how I love your “Oh we can only ship a handful of stock to our Counters and Stores because we want to appear as exclusive as possible”. Well your distribution policy exclusively sucks.
Why does MAC then even bother to send informations about upcoming collection to magazines which then often publish the recommendations weeks after the launch or why does MAC send out newsletters a day or two after the launch when the most hyped products are already gone? Sadism?
Enough with the rant. I love MAC’s products. I really do. I am just slowly getting tired of the stress with their limited editions. But now let’s take a look at the two cheek products from In The Groove I hauled: Band Of Roses and By Candlelight.

Hi everyone!
About a year ago or even more than a year ago I started my lipstick and lipglass no-buy. It went perfectly. MAC released new pretty lipsticks and lipglasses every couple of weeks but I stayed strong. They didn’t tempt me. I was so proud of myself!
But then MAC had enough of my willpower. Something had to happen. And then it did. MAC released Ever Hip with their Give Me Liberty Of London collection and from then on my willpower was broken and I bought 7 more lipsticks.
With Ever Hip I also discovered my love for coral lipsticks and no wonder that number 7 of my since the end of the no-buy purchased lipsticks was another coral!
Let’s take a look at how Jazzed from this weeks released In The Groove collection compares to Ever Hip and Dressmaker, Dressmaker from Prêt-â-Papier.

Oh Superdupernatural and Conjure Up how beautiful you both are! 
This year my wishlist for MAC’s holiday collections is quite small. The only two items I was eyeing were the two Mineralized Blushes. Not that I am not intrigued by other items like one or two of the Mineralized Eyeshadows or later some of the pigment sets but I can pass them.
I adore the texture of these two. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the Grand Duos or Colour Craft Mineralized Blushes because they were too glittery for me linking. I love to choose if I want to add a lot of shimmer with a Mineralized Skinfinish.. or not. So I was very happy when I’ve read on Specktra that the texture is like the ones from Sonic Chic/the perm line.
Now to the pictures

Finally the sky cleared up and I could take the swatches of Silverthorn compared to my other grey eyeshadows from the comparison picture in my last post.
Word of Mouth MES
row 1: Alum, Cumulus, Knight
row 2: Swan Lake, Silverthorn, Anti-Establishment
The sheen of Silverthorn is really pretty and this eyeshadow is not similar to my other greys at all. I dare say that Silverthorn is the Solar White of grey eyeshadows.
