MAC Cosmetics | A Rose Romance
Launch Date: April 23rd, 2009 (North America), May 2009 (International).
Suggesting sonnets celebrated for centuries: Come into my garden, I would like my roses to see you!” poet Sir Richard Brinsley Sheridan once said, and what lady could resist such flattery? A tradition in haute-couture, an enduring Icon of Love and certainly the only flower acceptable to throw on stage at the Met or clench between teeth in a Buenos Aires tango salon, the rose remains beyond reproach. MAC creates a very modern Rose Romance, our lovely new colour collection for the summer season. Spring buds blush in fragrant new hues when Just A Pinch Gel Blush debuts; Fix + Rose refreshes; and our bring-back favourite fragrance, Creations Hue: Dejarose, whispers anew… But with great beauty there is always pass ion and peril… mind the thorns

Nothing from this collection grabs me except for the quad.

I love everything from this collection!

I want Summer Rose and Of Summer. Maybe Odyssey, Mutiny, and Circa Plum.

Tania

Karen-
Both of those beauty powder blushes and the gel blush will be mine! I have to see how the lipcolors look on me so that’s pending. I would buy the shadows but they kinda remind me of my Cool Palette I bought during X-mas. I already own shadowy lady and I love it! Who knows what I will end up buying!!

I would love to get the quad to get a Solar White back up but can’t buy it in Canada :(.
Leah
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Actually they will have it available at the Bay. Yay for solar white!
Anitacska
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Those rose sculpted powders are so pretty. And the lipglasses. And the lipsticks. And the eyeshadows… ;p
Melissa
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Just going to get the fix+… but the mutiny pigment so does not go with this collection it looks so out of place… je je
evangelia
Saturday, April 11, 2009
i was thinking that too.
Eva
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I love the eyeshadows and the quad..I missed out on Solar White last year.
The beauty powder blushes look so great, but I cant use MAC face products..*sigh*
Evelyn
Saturday, April 11, 2009
omggg the beauty powders look amazing
really want to try that fix + rose too
i wish the quad wasnt nordstrom exclusive, i cant get it in canada!
have to get shadowy lady, i missed out on that collection when the quads came out
really wish i got spiced chocolate

hey, sometimes the bay carries the nordstrom exclusives =)

Just pull up Nordstroms.com and order it online. I can’t beleive Visa won’t suddenly refuse to make an international transactional just because it’s Canada.
We don’t have a Nordie’s for 800 miles but I buy the exclusives there all the time. And they often come out early for preorder- I had half of HK in the bag a week early, they wouldn’t ship until the Opening Day but that’s fine. I got everything I wanted.

omg I know .. I wish I was into mac back the . The quads from the cult of cherry were amazing..!! I want this quad too but dunno if the bay will sell it… Ugh these nordstrom exclusives aren’t fun =(
diana
Saturday, April 11, 2009

evangelia
Saturday, April 11, 2009
i want…magnetique, steal my heart, a rose romance, and all of the see thru lip colors. and summer rose. and maybe dejarose. so yeah…nothing much lolz.
Anne
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I must be in the minority, this collection does not interest me at all.
Violet
Saturday, April 11, 2009
The only thing I’d probably get from this collection is Mutiny. Nothing else really catches my eyes.
sprut
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I thought I was going to get a bunch from this collection but instead I think I’ll just get A rose romance lipstick, virgin kiss gloss, et tu bouquet shadow and the nail polish. I still like all of it but those are the only ones that I really want. I’m eyeing one of the blushes but I just have so much blush and blush takes me ages to go through. So we’ll see.
Brie
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I suppose it was only a matter of time before a MAC collection came along and killed my wallet *sigh* It’s been so long since I needed more than one or two items from a collection, I was just getting used to that hah!
Monica
Saturday, April 11, 2009
only thing i want is the fix+. ive been holding out on the regular one (ive never owned one) for a while, and when i heard one was coming out in this collection i decided to wait and get this one.
besides that, im good.
Summer
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Have to get Summer Rose and Of Summer. :) I’ll have to wait to see more swatches to make up my mind about the others.
BaDKiTTy
Saturday, April 11, 2009
I really want Blush of Youth! Its so pretty!
Nunu
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Virgin Kiss (depending on how sheer it is), Magnetique and Blush of Youth.
The lipsticks are pretty too….
Wilcoa
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Definitely a few things I like, but I’m wavering on the Fix+. I’ve never used it before so am not entirely sure about how well it works. Is it good for keeping the skin hydrated? What’s it’s best use?
LauraBread
Thursday, April 16, 2009
I use MAC studio stick foundation and spray half-arm length away of the fix+. I do about 3 spritzes. It helps makeup spread easily and adhere to skin by using my 109 brush. Some spray it after putting on their liquid foundation. It’s also great for a quick pick-me-up whenever your face feels icky throughout the day. Refreshed!

Sunday, April 12, 2009
not sure on the eyeshadows til i see them & can swatch them up close. the quad is tempting just for solar white. like the lipsticks so those may be a puchase & the Fix +. can’t decide yet on the pigments. yay or nay?!?
Shyradynne
Sunday, April 12, 2009

April
Monday, April 13, 2009
I like the pink see thru lipcolor, and also the of summer e/s looks nice…will have to see it all in person though. mac doesnt grab me anymore like they used to :(
Anna
Monday, April 13, 2009
I really cant decide if I like the quad, I kind of like the singles better
Lara
Monday, April 13, 2009
i have a question….the pictures above show “of summer’ e/s as the frosted pink w/gold reflects but in the description it says..
Of Summer Frosted light dirty mauve
Et Tu, Bouquet? Frosted pale pink gold
what do you think is correct the picture or the description?
Stef
Monday, April 13, 2009
I can’t wait for the Fix + Rose – I ? rose scents
Christy
Monday, April 13, 2009
This collection looks so wearable. I think I’ll have to get Way To Love, A Rose Romance, Virgin Kiss, Magnetique, Steal My Heart, Of Summer, Blush of Youth, Summer Rose and the Rose Fix+. I’m such a sucker for pinkish gold or raspberry lips!
jodie
Thursday, April 16, 2009

Rita
Thursday, April 16, 2009
I’m just wondering about the beauty powders. How are you supposed to use them? As a powder all over the face or as a blush?
Lauren
Friday, April 17, 2009
I heard that this collection was coming out over the course of two weeks…is that true? And if so, what is coming out Thursday? Thanks!

Rachael
Sunday, April 19, 2009
I was dissapointed in the beauty powders. They are so shear hardly anything showed up on my NW20 skin! However, the rest of the items are lovely!
MsTrendy
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
what brush did you use to apply it? i have a beauty powder from a previous collection in a shade called “secret blush” and i love it but because its light but buildable – and i find i get better colour payoff if a use a more dense brush.
Maddie

My friends and I all adore MAC, and they all have collections that they buy all of because there isn’t a single thing they hate. I’ve never felt that way… until now! I absolutely adore this beyond belief, and I probably will buy all of it!!!
Delia Lupan
Tuesday, April 21, 2009

I love this collection! I just wish I knew what to get and what to skip! Temptalia, we need your review!!! And I could use to be a little less indecisive!
Christine

All posted!
Danielle
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
i love this collection. I know I am getting the two beauty powders, and the shadows. maybe a way to love lipstick, gel blush, that is all. I hope that I don’t decide that I need to have the fix+. LOL
Lynn
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
is the Nordstrom Exclusive Quad still available?
Kristina
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
I am loving this collection. I love all of these colors; they look really wearable and I’ve already planned the majority of what I’ll be getting.
The only thing is i’m also really excited about the Stlye Warrior Collection coming up…
To splurge, or not to splurge? That’s the question!
Nicole
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
I want way to love lipstick.
that’s all that looks good to me (:
Lozz
Saturday, April 25, 2009
I’m loving blush of youth, fix + rose and a way to love :)I was just thinking, mabye they should have put the rose pigment instead of mutiny, it seems to fit better with the collection … oh well, great collection anyway ;)
Lauren
Thursday, April 30, 2009
I just got Way to love (it is MLBB) with Virgin Kiss to put over it! Both are beautiful alone, but so much better together! Also got circa plum which I will wear with Fig 1 e/s.
Aubree
Thursday, April 30, 2009
So..i was really excited about this..then i went to MAC today, and I was sort disappointed. Hated the shadows and the see thru lip colours. I only ended up with Summer Rose, Magnetique, and Mutiny.
Then I bought Bitter from the Colour Ready collection.

This collection is by far one of my top favorite of all, they are not over the top and i can really use them in everyday life (hope you too). Only products i am not feeling are the perfume and see through lips colors. (do not like the consistency, mind you, it feel like smearing my lips with some iffy cool liquidy liquid. strange? eww :P)
Fix+rose smells really nice.
Just a pinch is really fun to play with.
Love & friendship, i can use this one forever, aka i am getting backups.
Of Summer is beautiful, wish it was more pigmented.
Silver Thorn is very pigmented, was hesitated at first but not regret i got it.
Mutiny and Circa plum are have to have.
Way to love & A rose romance were on the sheer side,
Summer Rose is awesome, sheer yes but not that sheer.
I have no complain of these products being sheer, whatsoever, which is what i WANT and LOVE about summer make up.

the gel blush is amazing it looks scarey but if you apply it with a foundation brush it goes a long way! im loving using the ELF foundation brush with it at the moment or the mac one! but the ELF brush is thiner xx
