To be honest, I was expecting a lot more pink in this collection. I tend not to associate roses with coral shades so I am a bit disappointed since I was envisioning tons of pinks in this collection. I want a few pieces in this collection but a bunch less than I thought that I would. I want both the of Eye Quads and the teal shade of Artliner (going to give it a shot). Lip product wise, I want the Color Design Lipstick in Groupie and all the Laque Fevers except for Golden Sunshine. I also want the Pop'n Cheeks Blush. I like this collection but this wasn't the love that I was hoping for from the title of the collection.
