I would pair Stereo Rose MSF with MAC Frankly Fresh lipglass + Hover lipliner. This would give me natural/nude lip so that awesome-ness of Stero Rose would be the focal point.

Congrats on the comments! I love to comment here, its one of the things I love about blogs. I used to buy magazines and read only the beauty pages (I’m fashionally challenged) but I could never give my feedback. Keep up the good work!

And for the competition! I would pair it with stila grapefruit because its one of my favourite glosses! Thanks! x

OMG! Stereo rose! I have to have it! In Germany it was no longer available as I went to the stores! I would pair it with any peachy, golden or brown glosses I got!! Love it!!

Please enter me to win! I’d like to wear it w/my Buzz lipglass from the Naked Honey collection – the veining in Stereo Rose reminds me of the color.

Congrats on the milestone!! 😀

What a great giveaway! I am excited just to see it and that someone will get this awesome gift!!!

Okay, I would use one of my clear glosses over my nude lip pencil (nyx).

I don’t know really, I’d might pair it with something rosey coral lipgloss, don’t know of any names of one that is in that shade. But that is my answer at least 🙂

RT’ed, nickname: Monticka

I would probably wear a sheer lipgloss with stereo rose, because I would want the focus to be more on the beautiful cheek color! Maybe a simple lipgloss by Lancome called sugar sweet!

and CONGRATS on the milestone! thanks for all that you do with reviews!

I would pair peach plum by clinque with it, its an really old one i have it for over a year now but its not in their permanent line so i cant get a new one

A perfect pairup for under $3! I would pair Stereo Rose with NYC Liquid Lip Shine in Sun Gold Pink (554). I’ve heard Stereo Rose described as a warm, gold peach/coral color and this gloss is a goldish pink. I think it would compliment Stereo Rose without being too matchy matchy. *crossing my fingers on THIS one!*

Congratulations!
This is really a very cool price! I would pair MAC stereo rose with a red lipgloss or with a brown/gold one. Think the red one would be great for a night out and the brown one for everyday.

I’d seriously pair Stereo Rose with everything. Whether it’s a naked face, neutrals (on my eyes) or even a very colorful look, I’d paid this with it. I’ve been wanting it since the day it came out and since the couunter at Nordstrom messed up my order, I’ve been dreaming of it.

400,000…Congrats Christine. Thank you for everything u do. Temptalia has been a part of my daily fix since early 2008…and i love being a teeny-tiny part of your world.

As for what lipgloss i would pair with stereo rose msf…MAC Flurry of Fun.

My favourite lip gloss to pair with Stereo Rose is Mac’s Frankly Fresh from the Give me Liberty of London collection or Revlon’s Super Lustrous in Peach Petal. Thank you for the give away & congrats on your milestone!

The lipgloss that I love pairing it with Stereo Rose is Cha Cha l/g from Spring Colour Forecast becuase it makes not only a gorgeous combo, it makes Stero Rose stand out beautifully. I want to say an early congrats on your 4 years of Temptalia!! You are an amazing person!

Here in Brazil (where I´m from) we don´t have MAC stores everywhere…i.e. in my city there is absolutely no MAC at all…and I love MAC! so hope I win! =)
I would pair it with a peach or light pink tone lipgloss!!!

YSL golden gloss in Golden Satin (30) over Rouge Volupte Perle in Coral Sun (102), both from the YSL Rock and Baroque Fall 2010 collection.

Recently bought these and just fell in love!

First I want to say thank you for making this website. It has helped me a lot to pick make up that I now love.

Second, I would pair Stereo Rose with MAC Maked Paris Lipstick with Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss Wallflower. I have cool skin tone, so Stereo Rose would look good with a nude lip on me.

Ah the coveted Stereo Rose. Everywhere around me was sold out in what seemed like mere minutes. I’ve never seen it in person, but I’m thinking I’d pair it with MAC Underage.

Nicole Avatar

oh! oh! oh! so very excited!
I would wear this either with YSL Golden Gloss in Golden Petal for a subdued lip (with smokey eyes) or Revlon SUper Lustrous Gloss in Coral Reef for a brighter lip.
thanks for having this competition!!!

I’d pair it up with whatever my orange hello kitty gloss was called. It’s in my drawer of crazy right now. Oh wait, google is my fwend.
Nice To Be Nice!

Congratulations on 400,000 comments 🙂

I think Stereo Rose is one of those colours that goes with pretty much anything, but I’d probably wear it with a peachy pink lip gloss

Megan Avatar

I actually don’t use lipgloss anymore (decided not to buy it for a long time and just lost interest). But I think the one I would pull out of my collection to use with this would be Moth to Flame dazzleglass.

WOW! This skinfinish is gorgeous!I would pair it with this rosy bronze combo I love using: fill in lips with MAC’s lip liner in half-red and top with oh baby liplass. The combo is beautiful!

Lauren Avatar

I don’t have too many lipglosses and the one I’m going to suggest is discontinued, Eurobeat, but I think any warm pink lip gloss would look fabulous. 🙂

I would pair it with CO Bigelow spearmint lip shine from bath and body works because its a clear gloss that’s simple but it makes ur lips soooo shiny and it last for awhile on 😉

Tifa Avatar
Tifa

Well, I was thinking of Revlon’s Soft Nude, but that’s a lipstick— so I’d go with NYX Smokey Eye over a nude lip, since I love the nice soft pink shine:)

Wow STEREO ROSE!!! Christine you are going to have gazillions of replies to this! including mine!!!!
i’d probably wear it with a coral toned very sheer lipgloss! hmmmm something like Estee Lauder Wild Coral (which i don’t own but i am willing to buy if i get stereo Rose!!!))
or probably nude lips so it doesn’t take away from the beauty that is STEREO ROSE!!! OMG!!!

Jessica V Avatar

Either On the Scene or underage to let it stand out. If I felt like getting matchy matchy I would put on Fresh Salmon lipstick and then underage to get a nice soft coral color : )

Rebecca Avatar

To go with the pretty sheen of Stereo Rose, I’d probably go with a pretty pink in the form of Viva Glam VI lipglass.
I might even go a little out of the box with If It’s Pink lipglass from A+O for a real pop!

Kellie Avatar

Congratulations on your comment milestone! Cheers to the next one!

I don’t have any higher end lipsticks or glosses so I’d use the bargain brands that I have.
With this MSF I would use a nude lipstick like L’Oreal Color Riche in Harmony, with a light peachy pink lip gloss like Maurice’s Sfuzzi lip gloss in peachy keen on top.

Aimee Avatar

neutral eye…maybe naked lunch and satin taupe in the crease, and neutral lip…florabundance… simples 😉
the beauty of stereo needs to be the centre of attention!

Daisy Avatar

Oh man…Stereo Rose, how you’ve eluded me! </3 I'd pair that little bit of heartbreak with MAC's Strange Potion lipglass…erm…next week <.< Because why not.

Adail Avatar

I’d wear it with flurry of fun lipglass from the To the Beach collection 🙂 But i love the idea of wearing it with a navy smoky eye that someone mentioned. I’d try that too 🙂

I would pair this with the Wildly Refined lipglass that just came out with the Felines collection! I think that it would look super pretty layered of See Sheer which is very similar to my natural lip color.

I would pair this with my two favorite eyeshadows “Soft Brown” and Vanilla by MAC and do a muted lip like Buxom Lips “Amber” its sorta peachy but tones down the pink in my lips. The beautiful coral color of Stereo Rose would be the pop of color on an overall neutral look.

Laura Avatar
Laura

I’d pair it with my favourite everyday gloss – MAC’s Nymphette liplass. It goes well with almost everything but I think it’d be perfect with Stereo Rose! 🙂

Shanna Avatar
Shanna

Probably my Love Nectar lipglass. It’s one of my favorites and since it’s not too pigmented (especially on my fairly pigmented lips), I find it goes with just about everything 😀

Gemma Avatar
Gemma

I’d definitely pair it with nude lips to make the cheeks stand out – MAC myth or my trusty L’oreal colour riche in pashmina with a touch of Florabundance lip gloss…

Camila Avatar
Camila

I’d pair it with a coral lipgloss! Could be Viva Glam Cyndi, but I’d like something more orange, like one we have here in Brazil from a brand called Natura 🙂

Megan Avatar
Megan

I would pair it with Smashbox’s Lustre lipgloss, which just has a gorgeous gold sheen. The golden shimmer would bring out the warmth of Stereo Rose, and because Lustre is so simple, the cheek color would really shine!

WOW – you could really do some fun number crunching here! You have gotten a full 25% of your total comments (100,000) in the most recent 8% of its “life” (i.e. 4 out of 48 months.) AND the most recent 1000 posts have apparently averaged about 100 comments apiece! My interpretation: CONGRATULATIONS!! Your blog is growing at warp speed (but I am sure you already knew that!) 🙂 I hope my little analysis counts as an entry, because I don’t wear lip gloss! I would pair it (very sheerly) with my MAC Fetish lipstick though, which I adore.

Corinne Avatar

Congrats chrisitne! All those comments just goes to show what an awesome blog this is!

I think I would pair stereo rose with korres #11 cherry lipgloss! It’s a nice ‘nudey’ pink and I think would play off stereo rose’s pink sheen!

I normally pair SR with On the Scene cremesheen glass since both of them are coral. By using nude coral lips I think SR stands out more & both of them compliment each other 🙂

I’d pair Stereo Rose with Big Baby plush glass and a navy blue smoky eye for sexy look, but really I’d wear it with everything!!!!!

Id pair it up with pretty neutral bronzy eyes and just a neutral (clear maybe lip gloss) and those i’m-just-out-of-the-sea-after-takin-a-swim hair to create a beachy summery look (im going on vacation soon so sun is all i think about :P)

Stereo rose is such a beautiful color, I would pair it with Mac’s Underage lipglass! that color needs to stand out so underage would be my best choice!

Carolyn Avatar
Carolyn

Wow, 400,000 comments is unbelievably fantastic! Congrats Christine! 🙂

This color just begs to be showcased, so I’d most likely just go with a clear or light pink gloss, something without shimmer or glitter or a high-gloss formula. I’m thinking Smith’s Mint Rose balm (which is basically a clear glossy balm) or a light coat of NYX Tinted Lip Spa in Juicy (a purple-ish red sheer balm/gloss).

Laura Avatar
Laura

I would do something light pink nude, since you wouldn’t want to take away from the coral of stereo rose, maybe MAC To The Beach’s lazy day lipstick with In The Groove’s Cremesheen gloss in Right Image.

Eye-wise I’d do neutral eyeshadow like Sin from the Urban decay Naked palette, and then do some winged liner, chunky lines rather then thin :]

first off congratulations temptalia! this is my #1 go to beauty blog i appreciate all your hard work and reviews, they mean a lot to us buyers who wanna buy wisely! I would love to win stereo rose! for lips, id wear revlon soft nude lipstick as a base and top it off with a corally-peachy gloss like nars orgasm lipgloss. <3

I think a basic foundation with this on the cheeks would look gorgeous. For the eyes, I’d pair it with Benefit Stay Don’t Stray eye primer, MAC Bronze eyeshadow in the crease, MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow all over the lid and MAC Femme Fi (holy grail highlighter) in the inner corner and all over the brow bone to highlight. Top off with some liquid liner and mascara and the eyes are done. I’d wear MAC Shy Girl lipstick on my lips and the look would be complete! Thanks so much for this contest and I hope I win!

Holy crap…however do you find the time to approve over 1000 comments?

I’d pair it with a golden brown smokey eye and light pink lips topped with a clear gloss.

I received mine in the mail back in the day. However it was totally broken and i could,’t get a new one because they were all sold out. I now have it in a jar and use it as a somewhat loose powder blush;( It sucks.
However when I do wear it I like to pair it with either Lollipop Loving with Smile dazzleglass on top or Rimmel’s crush with Ember Glow lip glass on top.
Love the colour of Stereo Rose, just wish I had it in a pan so I have something pretty to look at;)

I’d pair it with a pale lipgloss, i’d choose MAC underage. Its just such a nice perfect pinky peach nude lipglass and looks beautiful together with stereo rose.

i would definitely pair this with a hot pink color lipgloss that looks shocking in the tube but applies sheer and still have that hot pink color

Hi Christine! Thanks for the giveaway (:

I’d pair a salmon-pinkish lipgloss with Stereo Rose msf! Maybe something like Sock Hop lipglass from the Heatherette collection or Strange Potion lipglass from the more recent Venomous Villains collection!

*fingers crossed :D*

As I’d want my cheeks to be the focus I’d probably pair it with a thin layer of MAC’s Fashion Whim Cremesheen Gloss so my lips are nude but not completely.

Laura Avatar

I’d pair it with peach petal – or petal peach, can’t ever remember which way they go! – by Revlon, just to add a hint of colour but at the same time keep Stereo Rose the focal point of the look! 🙂 x

Congratulations on the Milestone. I would either go really bold and dark and wear kittenish, or tone it down and wear kraft l/s with indulgence cremesheen over it, or just wear my favorite combination and that is sweetie l/s with flusterose lipglass.

I’d pair it either with Benefit’s “I’m with the band” or this peachy drugstore brand lipgloss I bought the other day. They’d looks amazing together!

The possibilities are endless!! I’d pair with Lady Gaga gloss, Boy Bait Cremesheen, Just Superb Cremesheen or so many others. Love this MSF, so versatile and a fabulous pop of fresh color!
