Fragrance - (LE) $22.50USD
- Creations: DejaRose - A striking bouquet of lush Bulgarian, Turkish and Tea Red Roses, 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. A thoroughly modern "retro-scent": Dejarose. (Repromote from DejaRose)
The release date is scheduled to hit the US and Canada on April 23.
Even though the International release date is set for May, it seems Rose Romance has already been released in Taiwan. Check out ChefCaffy's YouTube Channel for some information and swatches. Thanks to Charisma103 for this scoop.
It should be noted that even though the eye shadows look brilliant in color, the LE items are not as pigmented as they appear. (This is with the exception of the Nordstrom's quad.) If you're looking for softer color eye shadows from this collection, then you'll be satisfied. If you're more into dramatic looks and darker colors, you may still find some products of interest in this collection. However, most of those products are from the permanent collection.
I'd also like to mention the lipglasses in this collection are a bit different than current lipglasses. They're more of a lovechild spawn from a lipglass and a dazzleglass. The Rose Romance lipglasses have more of a glittery finish than what they appear in the promo pics. Although not quite as much glitter as the dazzleglasses, they do have more than what you may expect.
If you're interested in checking out some swatches, Specktra.net has quite a few up already. Thanks to Alexa for the update on the postings.
All in all, I believe this is going to be a beautiful collection full of soft spring looks with a bit of added pop.
