A Rose Romance haul

Last Friday, I was out getting a pair of heels for the wedding and decided to stop by MAC to pick up some stuff to cheer myself up!
*yup, I mentioned in Twitter too!

I mentioned I bought stuff from the summer collection, A Rose Romance and these are the babies!

I merely bought some stuff just to cheer myself up after a really long week.

First up, the Fix+ Rose! I am a huge fan of facial sprays and since this comes with RoseWater, being a fan of rose scented products, I had to try it!

*yes, I am a fan of anything scent / flavoured with Rose! I love Benetint as a lip stain because of the rose scent. My favourite breakfast drink? Reduced sugar soya milk with Rose Syrup! Recently, enon_enen gave me a sample bottle of Anna Sui Deep Cleansing Oil and though it does not cleanse as well as the other cleansing oil I've tried, I still love it for its Rose scent! I use it on days when I have light makeup on.

I use it as a toner and not a makeup finisher though. I read about how beneficial Rose Water is to the skin and how some girls are buying Rose Water from Guardian Pharamacy to use it as a toner.

I have only used it for a couple of days and I can't see any visible effects as yet.

Ingredient list of the Fix+ Rose.

Next, the Summer Rose Beauty Powder. Yes yes, I bought it for the embossement.

And the Blush of Youth Beauty Powder too. If you compare, Blush of Youth is slightly on the coral / peachy tone than Summer Rose which is of a dusty rose shade. Sadly, they are not Rose Scented. I was hoping they were. But its alright. My Missha M Shimmering Oven Blushes are rose scented! All 3 of them!

Finally, the Circa Plum Pigment. I missed this out from the ColorForms Collection last year.
I already own Mutiny from the Naughty Nauticals Collection.

I skipped the rest of the items as I'm not into those shades of eyeshadows and the lippies / lipglass look blah to me. So what did you get from this collection? Share it with me!

Yeah i think this is going to be one of my smallest mac haul. I love the animal prints, but the color just doesn't wow me.

More money for color craft then! ;) Must be my next biggest collection after the hello kitty!

I like cool colors better, like cool green, cool brown, taupe, violet etc :P But i want 2 of the 3 shadows from naked honey leh, even though it's warm colors. I really hope this collection will come to SG.

Honesty i dare not plan my list for color craft. To afraid to see the long list. LOL
But up till now, the swatches and photos of the MSF & MES doesn't look that impressive. I'm hoping the mineralize blush will wow me.
Btw, i remembered seeing the pic of your porcelain pink on your post about msf. It looks like you have a 'pale' porcelain pink. If they are releasing the 'pink' porcelain pink this time round, you should totally grab one. Honestly i had a pale one and totally hate it. The 'pink' one is so much better.

maybe because i'm very warm so i look better in warm colors. so naturally i prefer warmer colors. hehe

i'm just buying msfs for collection, i seldom use them now leh. dont think i'll get another PP since PP is just for highlighting for me. but see how bah. HAAHAH

I'm also very warm and yellow, but somehow i think cool colors looks better on me, i feel so overwhelmed with warmth when i wear warm colors. lol am i making sense.

Thats why i don't like the pale pp, it only works as a highlighter and it's not even a good highlighter. The pinker pp works as a nice subtle blush :)
