MAC - A Rose Romance Discussion

[Shadowy Lady]

yeah I hope the beauty powders are pigmented to show up on my NW25 skin. I only buy the bp's that are pigmented enough to double as highlighter and blush like Alpha Girl and Pearl Sunshine.
I'm not really feeling the single eyeshadows. Also still crossing my fingers that at least one of the Bays in Ottawa will get the quad.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I don't know if I made my final list of what I'm getting somewhere in the pages but here is what I'm getting:

A Rose is A Rose Quad
Fix+ Rose
Mutiny Pigment
Circa Plum Pigment

I might get Virgin Kiss l/g and Way To Love l/s but I'm not sure.

 

[sn0wbunnie]

Pale pale me can use almost every BP as a blush... Even Dame Edna Spectacle! So I'm dying for the ones from this collection.


Other than that... Who else is tired of the weird peachy glittery yuk shadow they keep including in spring/summer quads? I swear that's almost the same shade as in Fafi 2 quad! And I think I've seen it in another quad too.

 

[NeonKitten]

thanks for the swatches...lemmings offically killed! yay this means i get to save more money for things like dazzleglasses and such
so i'm down to:

fix+rose
gell blush
one bp (if i can use it as a blush)

Risser, what are the lipstick finishes?? If they are frost or lustre, I am sold. I just hope theyre not glazes. Also, can you do swatches of them on the lips? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

 

[ElleStar04]

I've waited and waited for a BP swatch and I'm underwhelmed! I don't think it will show...

I'm down to Fix+ Rose and Circa Plum piggie, which I probably will just a sample jar of....Well, that leaves more $$$ for STYLE WARRIORS and DAZZLEGLASS!

*saying to self* i will be strong! many cool collections this year. all i plan to get is the quad (which is a horrific $92 NZD over here), and the fix+ rose. thats it. damage= $126 eeek!

but the quad sounds beautiful, and theres no damned satin taupe in it!!!!

 

[Sexycocolatte]

in NZ each eyeshadow is $34 each, so a quad in nice colours, without the ever present satin taupe, is a really good deal! solar white

94?!?!?! Holy cow! I feel ya though, I was going to skip the entire collection, but now that I know Solar White is in the quad, I'm gonna grab that too.

I'm with those of you who aren't so excited by this collection. Looking at the swatch pics, I might just be getting the BPs. The shadows just look blah (even the Nordie's quad isn't wowing me...). I have to see the lip colors in person, but I definitely am not going for the stains. I guess we shall see what will be coming home with moi

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Omg the nail lacquer is GORGEOUS! I am sooo getting this in bulk AND MAYBE the BPs but I will have to test them on me. Otherwise everything else is so PASSABLE. Lippies and shadows look boring to me.

 

[hawaii02]

Wow, I'm surprised at a lot of the Team Rose no-sayers. I felt indifferent about the HK collection and Sugarsweet. Not so much with this collection. Depending on the finish, Silverthorne looks pretty as well as one of the BP's and Magnetique l/s.

 

[kiss]

I am definetely getting the nail laquer, summer rose bp, and rose romance lippie. I don't know if I also need: of summer, and way to love l/s?

Okay, right now, there's only three things on my list.

Of Summer
Et Tu, Bouquet?
Silverthorn

BUT.....they seem really pastel and really pale. And now that I know what's gonna be in Color Craft, I'm really tempted to just skip all three together.

Can anyone convince me that I need or don't need these?

 

[caramel_geek]

Wait a minute. Does anyone know how close is Et Tu, Bouquet? to Da Bling? Or any of the perm pinks. *secretly wishing I can find a dupe in the perm line*

 

[Ernie]

I'm wondering how different "Of Summer" will be to Wintersky (from Chill). I know the finishes are different, I think OS is a Satin and WS is a Veluxe Pearl.
