I’ve been meaning to get this post out for a few weeks now but life has caught up with me! I just finished school last month and now I have a part-time gig O_O lol! I’ve been trying not to go too crazy on holiday related products and posts because most seasonal themed items are limited edition and trying to get them published BEFORE they’re sold out can be a bit overwhelming.
Anywho, MAC released a couple holiday collections last month and I ordered a few items from Glamour Daze for Holiday 2012. It’s a really pretty collection with a nice selection of very wearable and versatile shades. They also have a few gift sets that would make fab stocking stuffer’s ^_^ Check out a few pics and swatches of a few of the items I purchased below, along with my review.
Glow: I’ll start with the lipsticks and gloss. I’ll admit I was a bit overly anxious when buying a couple of these. Normally before I place an order I wait until I see swatches of the colors from other blogs to determine whether or not I really like the shades. Unfortunately I didn’t do that this time and was a little disappointed when I saw Outrageously Fun in person. It’s way brighter than I had anticipated and I just really didn’t think that the shade would work well with my skin-tone. It’s sort of a neon/pastel pink, it’s really pretty but I’m still skeptical on whether or not I like it on me. Dramatic Encounter lipstick is a maroon with brownish undertones – I like it but I’m not sure that I’d wear it on a regular basis. Flight of Fancy lipglass has a wine colored shade with subtle shimmer and I can definitely see myself wearing this more so than the lipsticks. The Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline is a deep, rich black which in the photos I’m wearing on my waterline. The 2 nail lacquers In The Limelight and Everything That Glitters I am absolutely in love with! I sorta have this thing for holo-glitters and pastel greens now and both are really beautiful.
Product(s) in this post were purchased by me.
