If you had $200, what would you purchase from MAC’s A Rose Romance Collection? Would you pocket the $200 for later?
.
I already spent my $200 and then some, LOL! Definitely the beauty powders (love that rose imprint), Magnetique lipglass, one or two shadows, Just a Pinch gel blush, and maybe a see-thru lip colour or two.

Nothing I guess.. not impressed with this collection.
A rose romance (l/s), Of summer (e/s), et tu, bouquet? (e/s), silverthorn (e/s), and both beauty powders. So thats 190$ which would be over 200$ with tax haha! But if I could chose another, or if some of those things turns out to be not what I wanted, I guess I’d go for the Fiz+ Rose.
I’m not doing mac lipgloss anymore. Lancome is just SO SO SO SO SO much better!!
Blush of Youth beauty powder, A Way To Love lipstick, Virgin Kiss and Steal My Heart lipgloss! The remaining $ will go to Colour Craft! =D
i’d save it all for style warriors 🙂
if i HAD to spend it on this collection, i’d just get all the lip stuff just cause i like to have options, and the pigments. i didn’t do that math but i figure $200 would cover that, and then some.
Hmmm…I would probably get the quad, the gel blush, Secret Crush See Thru Lip Colour and save the rest for later! 🙂
Fix+ Rose, and save the rest for another collection. 🙂
The beauty powder blushes, and Just a Pinch gelblush. Oh yeah and Magnetique lipglass.
Oh man.. well I’d definitely get the see thru lip colors… and the Virgin Kiss lipglass… and the beautiful rose imprinted beauty powder…and Et Tu, Bouquet? hmmm and the Just a Pinch gel blush…and the quad hahaha did I pass 200??? 🙂
I might get all the blushers, and maybe a couple of eyeshadows. The lip stuff are so so.
I would get all of the lip collection, the nordstrom’s quad, the beauty powder and the nail polish. With the small amount left over I would use it at the nyx sale.
I would put some money aside for Style Warrior.. but then I find it hard to skip any MAC collections 😀 I probably get two blushes, Steal my heart lipglass and eyeshadows.. Already have Magnetique and pigments. Christine, would please do lip swatches? Pretty please???
probably a lipgloss and an eyeshadow…i will save the rest for warrior one!!!!
everything. i have been waiting with baited wallet for this to arrive in my Nordstrom!
all the shadows, one blush, both pigments, the nail polish, and the mascara
Definitely both beauty powders, one or two ligplasses (the darker ones) and one or two e/s (need to see in person first). I’m also toying with the idea of Fix + Rose, does anyone know if it’s worth getting?
I can’t wait for Color Craft to come out though, I’ll definitely be spending more than $200 on all that mineralize stuff. 🙂 Just hope my husband finds a job by then or I’ll be in trouble. :S
I would get:
A Rose Romance Lipstick
Steal My Heart Lipglass
Magnetique Lipglass
Loving Touch See Thru Lip Colour
Secret Crush See Thru Lip Colour
Et Tu, Bouquet Eyeshadow
Of Summer Eyeshadow
Silverthorn Eyeshadow
Creme de Violet Eyeshadow
Nordstrom Exclusive Quad
(Solar White, Contrast, Seeds of Love, Petal Worship)
Summer Rose Beauty Powder
Love & Friendship Nail Polish
I’m thinking about the Nordstrom’s quad (I have a class there with a national artist – I’m so excited – with a $50 prepay anyway), Et Tu Bouquet e/s, Of Summer e/s (if they look different enough), Rose Romance l/s, maybe the BPBs, possibly Circa Rose p/g.
But like others have mentioned, I’m more excited about Colour Craft.
I would get both pigments, the beauty powders, and Magnetique and Steal my heart lipglass – then I’d spend what’s left on dazzleglasses!
I would get fix + rose, magnetique l/g, tender tryst lip colour and pocket the rest for the next collection.
magnetique, 2 of the see-through lip colors (the red and purple one), .. and that’s about it. This collection really doesn’t do anything for me except those 3
Blush of Youth Beauty Powder
Both Pigments
and The Nordstrom Exclusive Quad
Possibly the gel blush 🙂
My skin looks best with cool colors, so all of the purples and pinks would work great for me. I think I would get:
Circa Plum Pigment –
Summer Rose Beauty Powder
Lip glass in Steal my Heart and Magnetique
See thru color in Loving touch and Secret Crush
Fix+ Rose (have heard great things about Fix+ and not tried it)
Silverthorne eyeshadow
A Rose Romance lipstick
That all would be between $140 – $150, but I think that’s all I would get, and use the other $50 on some regular line choices.
I actually got the chance to see all of the products from this collection from my MAC MA a week ago, and I would probably buy the Silverthorn e/s, Creme de Violet e/s, the Virgin Kiss l/g, and then the beauty powders, then get a few dazzleglasses. I would probably buy the prep+prime items just released as well.
I was really excited about the two pink-toned eyeshadows with rose romance, but once I got to actually play with them, they had very poor color payoff, so I decided to save up for style warriors! 🙂
I’m loving pinks & purples lately so:
Both Beauty Powders
Magnetique & Steal my Heart l/g
Silverthorne & Of Summer e/s
Both l/s
Maybe one See Thru colour
Love & Friendship nailpolish
In order of priority:
1. Circa Plum pigment
2. Seret Crush See Tru lip colour
3. A Rose Romance lipstick (always looking for the perfect warm pink)
4. Just a Pinch gel blush
5. Et Tu Bouquet ES (looks like a pink Nano Gold)
a beauty powder and Magnetique lipglass
i’m glad nothing really interests me in this collection. ._. good news for my wallet!
I’d buy the LE lipsticks, the gel blush, fix+ rose and all three see throughs, and maybe magnatique and some other lipgloss o__O but i only got 100$ to spend so i guess i’ll be cutting my list in half lol
I have actually budgeted for this collection and I have calculated that I will be spending $223.44 CAD lol!
I’ll be getting:
– A Rose Romance & Way To Love l/s
– All 3 lipglasses
– Secret Crush l/c
– Mutiny pigment
– the 3 LE eyeshadows
– Just A Pinch gel blush
I’m not a fan of beauty powders and rose scented fix+ so I decided to skip those.
Secret Crush See Thru Lip Colour
I’d just wait for either naked honey or style warriors collection. I’m much more of a bronze-golden kinda girl 😉
Okay, I think I’ll get:
– A Rose Romance & Way To Love l/s
– Mutiny & Circa Plum pigment
– Magnetique & Steal My Heart l/g
– A beauty powder blush
And I’d save the 60 or so dollars left over for colour craft and style warriors… oh why does MAC have to have such amazing collections :S
all 3 LE eyeshadows, just a pinch blush, atleast maybe 1 see thu lipcolor( never tried) , both BPB, nordstrom quad, all 3 l/s and l/g depending on what they look like in the store.
– Way to Love l/s
– Of Summer e/s
.. and save the rest for Colour Craft and Naked Honey!
I LOVE the See Thru Lip Colours!! I had 3 of the Not So Shy a couple of years ago and used them up!
I’d Get:
See Thru: 2 Tender Tryst, 1 Loving Touch, 2 Secret Crush
LipGlass: 1 Steal My Heart
Beauty Powders: 2 Summer Rose, 1 Blush of Youth
1 A Rose Romance L/S
2 Fix + Rose
i will check out the collection at the counter when it launches here, but based on what i’ve seen so far, i just want the gel blush…
Like, everything. I’d probably hold off on the pigments and Fix+
I was able to swatch all the products today at Nordies, this collection is definatly beautiful. I will be purchasing:
Way To Love l/s
A Rose Romance l/s
Virgin Kiss l/g
Loving Touch See Thru Lip Colour
Silverthorn e/s
Of Summer e/s
Et Tu, Bouquet? e/s
Nordstom Quad (maybe)
i dont want too much, saving for colour craft and style warriors.
#1. circa plum pigment
#2. of summer e/s
(maybe silverthorn e/s but im deciding whether i should get silver ring instead?) can anyone seggest which one is a better choice for a medium tone silver?
#3. Loving touch see thru lip colour
I come in at just under $165 CAD with tax. (The rest will be saved for future collections.) I’m not sure on the lipsticks yet, so it may go down a bit. I’m definitely getting all 3 lipglasses, Blush of Youth, Summer Rose, Secret Crush and Fix+ Rose. I’ve never tried Fix+, so I may as well try it.
I just bought Magnetique lipglass (LOVE it!!) and the Summer Rose beauty powder (I was unsure about these when I heard about them – but Summer Rose really neutralizes my yellow undertones and makes me look refreshed… it’s awesome!)
I may go back for some lip stain.
A new Nordstrom just opened up here and they had the collection on sale early for the grand opening. It made my day!!!
I would definately get the beauty powders and the eye shadows! Also get one of the gel blushes…I do not own many blushes!
I would get:
A Rose is A Rose Quad
Mutiny Pigment
Circa Plum Pigment
Of Summer e/s
Et Tu, Bouquet? e/s
Silverthorn e/s
Fix+ Rose
Virgin Kiss l/g
Way to Love
A Rose Romance
Mutiny
Et tu, Bouquet?
Creme de Violet
Shadowy Lady (i missed this collection!! i really want the quads ]:)
Blush of Youth
Summer Rose
Rose Fix +
and if i could, but i cant cuz i live in canada, i would get the nordstrom quad. oh wait then im over 200$ LOL
i also want to save for style warriors…so i guess i would cut out Mutiny, Et tu, Bouquet? and one of the beauty powders haha
and maybe get another moon river from grand duos cuz i shattered mine FML D:
I would purchase both pigments and save the rest for Color Craft!
I would get…
oh summer
creme de violet
a rose romance l/s
mutiny
and the rest i would buy some dazzleglasses. they are so much more gorgeous than i thought they would be!!! =]
Quad ($38), Rose Romance Lipstick ($14), All lipglasses & see through lip colors ($14 ea.), both beauty powders ($22 ea.), and Fix + Rose($17).
mmm…i would get..
both of the beauty power
the gel blush
way to love n a rose romance l/s
the Fix+
Mutiny
n save the rest for the next~(if there is any left…haha)
Way To Love l/s
Virgin Kiss l/g
Blush of Youth b/p
Dejarose
Fix + Rose
I am gonna get :
Two beauty powders
gel blush
all three e/s (non-perm)
a way to love
a rose romance
I’m pocketing it and saving it ALL for Style Warriors!
Plus, i just spent bongo bucks at MAC this weekend getting eyeshadows, the 219, Fix+, 2 lippies & 2 dazzleglasses.
I would get the quad, the perfume, and Summer Rose Beauty Powder-and my birthday is on the 2nd, so I am more than likely getting the quad. The rest of the money would go towards Style Warriors and Naked Honey.
I’m saving 200 for Style Warriors. I think Mac is doing a lot more sheer collections than they used to. This one is very mainstream soccer mom which is a market Mac (Estee Lauder) wants to reach. it’s almost like you can feel Estee Lauder squeezing Mac’s hand.
It’s no C-shock!
I like the more daring collections. This one left me flat.
Roses remind me of my great aunties.
I would buy the beauty powders, Way to love lipstick, Mutiny, Circa Plum pigment, Of Summer, Et Tu, Bouquet?, Silverthorn, the Nordstrom Quad, Fix Rose plus. I really love this feminine collection. it’s really great for spring.
Hmm..the blushes definitely..gotta love that rose imprint! i’m not to sure about the eyeshadows and lipsticks..
