MAC Launch: A Rose Romance, official product photos and promo info

A Rose Romance  --  Official US Release Date: April 23rd, 2009

From cheeks that blush, just a pinch, to soft rosebud shades and refreshingly fragrant fixes, it's a summer rose romance. Rosy pinks, faithful fuchsias and forget-me-not blues...a limited-edition collection of colours, to pick, peruse and ponder.

Press Release:

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. M·A·C 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 passion and peril… mind the thorns!

"A striking bouquet of lush Bulgarian, Turkish and tea red roses is ruffled with dewy watery and luminous green nuances. Velvety petals of exotic orchid, lily, jasmine and peony are teased with a hint of crimson red raspberry and the gentle texture of pink pepper. The interplay of light and dark woods, weathered teak contrasting with patchouli, adds to the intensity, while hypnotic incense vapors and amber crystals lend a sense of intrigue and allure to this sensuous creation."

Fix + Rose - USD $17
"An aqua-spritz of vitamins and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber. Topped off with the scent of 100% natural rose water. Adds radiance, finishes makeup."
