The interplay of light and dark woods, weathered teak contrasting with patchouli, adds to the intensity, while hypnotic incense vapours and amber crystals lend a sense of intrigue and allure to this sensuous creation.

WOW thank you Christine for being the first place online to have this info! Looks like this will be my ‘birthday’ collection this year, 4 days in advance :)
Do I see 2 pigments? And maybe a Tendertone? The rose texture on those things in the last pic is gonna get me!!
Christine
Monday, February 23, 2009
Ohh, forgot the pigments. Just added them – Mutiny and Circa Plum (so nothing new, unfortunately). The tendertone-looking thing is the Just A Pinch Gel Blush :)
Lacey
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Ooh, my birthday’s the 27th, too, happy 4-days-early birthday to me! I love all the pinks… what can I say, it just makes me happy :-) Oh, and the Fix+Rose sounds very nice, too – I like Fix+ but the scent doesn’t exactly do anything for me, so this should be a great change :-)
MaliyaRox101
Monday, March 16, 2009
Actually its not a tender tone its a gel blush! Ahhh i thought it was a paint pot but oh well =]
Sara Kye
Monday, February 23, 2009
I’m not a big fan of pinks and purples so I might skip on the shadow, but MSFs! And Fix + Rose sounds so appealing.
Susie
Monday, February 23, 2009
Lovely! Sooo feminine!
Socaltrojan
Monday, February 23, 2009
OMG I am super excited about the rose Fix +!
I need to restock mine pretty soon, but I think I am going to hold off until the new one comes out! It sounds great!
Is that going to be a LE item Christine, or is the new rose Fix+ apart of the permanent line?
The gel blush seems interesting too! Man MAC is one a role this year, first HK, then Sugar Sweet, and now Rose Romance! I can’t handle it anymore LOL! I am hoping the next couple of collections are kinda lame so I am not tempted! I spent like $400 on HK and that doesn’t even include the Kouture line that I am going to get!
EEEEKKK why does LE MAC do this to me LOL?
Christine
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
I don’t know if they’re making it perm or not. :/
vicki
Monday, February 23, 2009
I guess I won’t be saving any money this year. SMH.
Sueann
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
I feel the same way! No money saved this year…Damn it Mac!
JeanMarie
Monday, February 23, 2009
*drool*…I think I should declare bankruptcy now…
Sueann
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
LOL…Same here!
Brenda
Monday, February 23, 2009
Are the beauty powders rose imprinted?!
Oh my god, I literally want everything…
Whitnee
Monday, February 23, 2009
it almost looks like more than imprinted but sculpted into the shape of a rose!
KaylaK
Monday, February 23, 2009
Ohhh theres some things that peak my interest!
Alyson
Monday, February 23, 2009
So yes, another paycheck goes to MAC. They should hire me to work for makeup, it’d be faster.
cloudburst
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
LOL so true!
Angie
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
I definitely agree! Whether I want a few things, or a whole collection, my check is going to MAC. Damn them for being creative this year! Throw a lame collection next PLEASE
Catherine
Monday, February 23, 2009
OMG… if those beauty powders are actually rose-imprinted… argghhhh, need one!!
Shanel
Monday, February 23, 2009
wow, everything sounds & looks great :) gotta put this on my calendar!
I got my eye on the beauty pwder, fix + rose, circa plum pigment, some lippies & cee’thru glosses.
& what mascara is that in the promo pic?! thnks for such a great post christine :)
Brigitte
Monday, February 23, 2009
I think I’m going to get most of this collection. Oh wow. Thanks so much for the information!!!! :)
My-Linh
Monday, February 23, 2009
Well crap, I’m definitely going to be looking into the lipglasses. Thanks MAC for eating up all my money, lol!
kat
Monday, February 23, 2009
Oh these are just my colours! Thanks for posting!!!
Sun
Monday, February 23, 2009
Everything looks so beautiful I cannot look away! I wish Hong Kong had the MAC Creations fragrances… We have a pretty limited range, no Mattenne lipsticks (according to the MA matte finished lipsticks do not sell well in Asia), no Cream Color Bases (climate too humid), etc., etc., etc…
victoria
Monday, February 23, 2009
mac is killing me. i’m a sucker for rose color. the beautypowders are so tempting just the way it looks. good thing there are a lot of perm. so i don’t feel tortured to get a lot. i’m interested in the gel blush and beautypowder. i hope the beautypowder is pigmented enough to be a blush, i’m kind of sick of useless beautypowders, how many setting powders does one need.
Rena
Monday, February 23, 2009
so pretty!
Nancy
Monday, February 23, 2009
the beauty powder looks so pretty! and the fix + rose. the colors are so pretty. *sigh* what are you doing to us MAC?
Amelia
Monday, February 23, 2009
gasp, those beauty powders are going to suck me in if they have a rose imprint! This collection looks so pretty and romantic, will be looking at this for sure!
cmferrets
Monday, February 23, 2009
OMG , i like totally pied my pants when i saw this., i thought i liked the sugr sweet collection and naked collection. but this is on my list as well to look forward!i love the rose imprint on the BBB. and another perfume. and i am also interested in the rose fix, that sounds interesting, hope it smells delightful!
Drebls
Monday, February 23, 2009
yay!! they’re bringing back the c-thru lip colors!!
does anybody know (from the Ungaro one) if it’s a stain or just exactly what it says?
the fix+ seems interesting …
Tosha
Monday, February 23, 2009
OOOHHHH more stains!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This sounds SO exciting. I can’t WAIT!
MariaPaula
Monday, February 23, 2009
Thanks to your twitter updates being sent to my phone, I can try to save up after my operation!! :]
cmferrets
Monday, February 23, 2009

Bona
Monday, February 23, 2009

NJ
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
How utterly beautiful are those beauty powders with the rose print!
Shefali
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Hey Christine! Can you tell us what in the collection is permanent or repromote? I know Circa Plum and Mutiny are. Anything else? Thanks!
KG
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

najeema
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
WOW! I think I like this collection more than the Hello Kitty one. I’ve been wishing for a soft blue pigment for a while now, so I definitely have to get that and the gorgeous nailpolish!
Kayc
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
My goodness I have to budget this so I’m able to get everything I want, which right now, is quite a lot lol. Thanks for updating us with this, Christine!
Elisa
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Woooow! *O*
They all sounds intriguing!
I’ll be in Japan when this collection will be release, but I’ll buy for sure some items!
Rita
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Sarah
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
OMG!!!!
Thanks so much Christine for sharing this! This is so my kind of love and I’m having palpitations over those beauty powder/msf compacts! Hubba hubba!!

The lipsticks and lipglasses, and especially those beauty powders look lovely. :) What are “see through lip colours”? I would have classed them as lipglosses. :|
AbbyL
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
OMG!! Beauty Powders! Pink and Purple are my favorite colors!!!!
Elle
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
I’m getting those beauty powders just for the rose shape. Sad, but true. :) Hopefully they look good on my skin too, but I don’t even know if I can even bring myself to use those!
AbbyL
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
i’m thinking the exact same thing! haha… totally NOT a waste of $$, right?
Elle
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Heh, not if it makes you happy :) They’re gorgeous!
Sandy
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Thanks for the info Christine. I love all the names and can’t wait to see the actual products and swatches :)
Shar
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
This collection is breathtaking! I love roses!!
megan
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
WOW i think im more excited for this collection then SugarSweet. I really wanna try the gel blush and some of the eyeshadows and lipsticks and maybe the fix+rose, sounds very tempting.
Chloe
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
They should have so done this in the Valentine’s period. But then again, everyone would be broke if it was released the same time as HK ! =]

Tuesday, February 24, 2009
MUTINY!!!
FINALLY! I’ll be able to get my hands on it since my counter doesn’t carry pigments. Glad to see it’s involved with the summer look and other stuff, this is really exciting so hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on some of it. The Fix+ Rose looks interesting so hopefully I’ll get to check that out soon.
Shortiee31
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
So far based on the given MAC pics, not interested in any of them! Phew =P x
cloudburst
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
I am loving this collection & see myself buying most of it (except for the repromotes) – luckily I already have the pigments so I don’t need those. Does anyone know what the See Trhu lipcolours are like?
carriespooner
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
This is a collection that is not going to work for me.
I can’t wear any of those colors and I just really don’t care for rose in anything.
I’m not upset. There will be plenty for me to buy this year. :)
Ashley
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Sounds like a pretty collection but nothing stands out too much, the lippies don’t sound all that original and so many re-promotes! Only things that sound interesting are the new Fix+ and the beauty powders! Sounds like this collection will be mostly a skip!
Haley
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
man, they keep rollin out great collection after collection. this one looks really good!! esp. the lipsticks and eyeshadows!!!
Crystalic
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
whoa!!! gorgeous! Oo and YEEEEEEESS fiiiiiinally mutiny again!!! i was soooooo dissapointed of not buying it last time. yaaaaaaay =D
jessica
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
This is a pretty collection–nice for spring but a tad boring to me. I’m intrigued by the see thru lip colors–are those like the see thru lip color/ lip stain from the emmanuel ungaro collection? If so I would def be interested! Everything else looks so unexciting after hello kitty! lol The gel blush might be nice though…
Ariana
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
That’s weird. I have Mutiny already and it doesn’t look that powder blue on me as it does on her in the picture. Are all the shadows Matte?
lucyzombie
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
oooh mutiny. yay. i missed that one when naughty nauticals was about and regularly kick myself for it. the gel blush sounds intriguing too, but the pot looks tiny!
boo for small quantities.
not too fussed about the e/s or lip stuff really.
which is handy as i have a trip to paris to pay for
Crystal
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Very romantic and sweet!

Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Wow everything looks FANTASTIC. I definitely want one of those rose sculpted beauty powders.. I hope I can B2M for some of the lippies too! I’m so excited! I thought I was going to be able to slow down after Sugar Sweet.. alas..
Winnie
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Oh wow it’s gorgeous. Well at least I know how much to budget now. I want all the lipsticks and beauty powders, Of Summer and Shadow Lady eye shadows and the Circa Plum pigment. Thank my lucky stars I have all the other colors and I hate MAC lip glosses.

Gorgeous, thx Christine!! i gasped at the rose fix+ ;)
Christy
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
So pretty! I want the beauty powders, lipstick, lipglass and maybe one of the 3 see through lipcolors. The eyeshadows and gel blush don’t call me. I don’t really like the look of gel blush most of the time.
Samantha
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Wow, I am in love with those beauty powders! I am super excited for this collection, AND this collection comes out right before my birthday! Maybe then I will have enough cash to grab something from this! :D

Jacquelyn
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
This collection is going to be so romantic! I cannot believe that they have Mutiny in this collection! I’ve been wanting Mutiny for a while and will have the oppertunity to get it. I republished it on my site and liked you for credit! You must be on a roll on putting product pics of each collection that us MAC addicts have been wanting to see!

BabyDollB
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
I wish I could say the same lol I admire you!
I have no will power at all when it comes to make up- even if I am not that crazy about certain collections, I always find myself getting one thing which turns into two or three- I can talk myself into any thing
BabyDollB
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
I have been tempted to buy some Fix+..for the first time and I was unsure about it..but I think I will just hold out for the one in this collection :)
