Beauty Launch: M.A.C Rose Romance Collection

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 color 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 favorite fragrance, Creations Hue: Dejarose, whispers anew ... BUT WITH GREAT BEAUTY THERE IS ALWAYS PASSION AND PERIL ... MIND THE THORNS!

The new Rose Romance collection from M.A.C certainly has romance on the brain. The collection of pink lipcolors, eyeshadows, nail lacquer and more really hammers home how wonderfully beautiful and romantic the rose truly is. I'm absolutely loving this collection, as I'm a romantic at heart. I know you will, too -- get all the details after the jump.

CREATIONS HUE: DEJAROSE ($22.50):

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.
