MAC - A Rose Romance Discussion

[caramel_geek]

Does anyone know what are the finishes/texture of the e/s? From the swatches, the pay-off doesn't look that good.

I guess Silver Ring is darker than Silver Thorn, but it has an awesome colour payoff and finish! It is a veluxe pearl

And one of my fave e/s!

I agree. I love some of MAC's nail polishes for their unique colors (Toast of the Town =

) but I hate they way they wear. Just too much work to get them to last more than a couple of days. I think you should be able to find an OPI dupe for Love & Friendship fairly easily. Lavender np is much more common than lavender lippies.

Silver Ring has always been in my To-buy list. Just that I never got to it. THanks to MAC's never ending trail of collections

The only thing that is stopping me from getting Silver Thorn in my Wish List is the finish. It looks like a Satin to me. I dunno

I might be way off.

Why did I even open the swatch thread? I must stick to a budget on this collection.

I am glad to see Audrey, Momma Spy, and Allison back!

I'm hoping that Silver Thorn has a tinge of green to it, like a tarnished silver. It looks a little bit lighter than Silver Ring from the swatch in the thread.

This will happen here - in May

Thanks Risser for the swatches! They are awesome!!!

Doesn't seem like anyone is excited about the gel/cream blush...

Risser -- if you get a chance, I'd love to know how it applies (smooth? blendable? creamy? wet?) and how it stays. And in general, what you think of it.

Thanks so much!

Okay. It's confirmed. Risser did mention that it'll be released in Taiwan on april 1st.
I'll have to call up my local MAC store after work today to see if we'll be getting it here in april as well. All I know is that we'll be getting Sugarsweet somewhere in april.

 

[caramel_geek]

if this comes out with sugarsweet here, my bank account is so not gonna be happy.

 

[coachkitten]

I really wish that this came out April 1st in the states.

 

[romi79_2008]

Is someone else buying the pigments? I missed them last year so they will be my first full size pigm.
I `ll skip the bp because of all the msf that are coming in july, plus I have enough blushers in similar colors
The 2 pink es look quite similar swatched, I might buy the one without the shimmer because everything I buy has shimmer, need one without, the color looks like something I have though, need to look through my collection
I love Steel my heart lg

Thank you so much Risser!!!

Silver thorn is VP!!!! Okay, now it is in my list. I can't resist VP stuff.

Susanne: Silver Thorn for you?

It'll keep you Silver Ring company.
