MAC Cosmetics launches the Rose Romance collection April 23
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
When I think of spring one of the first images that pops into my head are cherry blossoms. I instantly feel warm all over thinking about the little pedals floating around me while I walk down the street near my old university.
Well I think MAC was thinking along the same lines because their latest collection, Rose Romance, embraces the flowers of spring and summer with shades to match. They have focused on roses in this collection because let’s face it, no other flower compares to symbolize classic romance.
This collection is complete with a number of elements from lipsticks to eye shadows to fragrances, all of which should be suitable to compliment and add to your summer wardrobe. There are a few pieces that caught my interest immediately:
I have to start with the Lipglass, because you know I’m a sucker for them. All of the names of the lipsticks and lipglasses have to do with love and passion with some pricks here and there. I don’t think you could go wrong going with the Steal My Heart sheer bright pink shade. But if you want something a little more interesting, the See Thru Lip Colours has a more dramatic berry red shade called Secret Crush. All the lip items are $14 USD/$16.50 CAD.
I think blush is another item that I should mention simply because what’s summer without some rosy cheeks? MAC’s Beauty Powder comes in this nice pink with a touch of pearly gold colour called Blush of Youth and a lighter violet-pink shade called Summer Rose.
If you want to go straight for a touch of solid red in your cheeks, try out Just a Pinch Gel Blush. It’s literally what you think it might be. You just take the gel and apply a bit of it to your cheeks. Just a Pinch Gel Blush comes in a sheer red pink tint at $18.50 USD/$22.50 CAD.
Fix+Rose is an aqua-spritz that will make you end up smelling slightly of rose water. The spritz contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that have been infused with other ingredients such as cucumber, green tea and chamomile. Fix+Rose retails for $17 USD/$20 CAD.
The last item in the collection that I’m curious about is their newest fragrance Dejarose. The smell is supposed to be a like a bouquet of flowers including orchids, lily, jasmine and peonies. There’s also a small hint of raspberry in there as well. This creation might just enhance the rest of the romantic look and feel that this collection aims to provide you all this summer. It won’t burn a hole in your wallet at $22.50 USD/$28.50 CAD.
