When it comes to releasing new products, MAC is like the fast and the furious. Every time I turn around, I’m back in love again with their fabulous collections of cosmetic confections.If you’ve been saving your pennies for a rainy day…brace yourselves and put on your Wellies. Because when it rains, it pours - and MAC is about to unleash a monsoon of gorgeous makeup.
Thanks to the geniuses at MAC, April showers bring a flower-inspired collection, aptly named Rose Romance. Yours truly got a sneak peek at the products (I’ve starred the must haves below) - and trust me…a rose collection by any other brand would not look as chic.
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. MAC creates a very modern Rose Romance, a lovely new color collection for the summer season.
