MAC Holiday Lip Kits and Bags

I managed to sneak in a field trip to the MAC store to see the new MAC Holiday Collection . The MAC lip bags this year are quite nice. I like the silver bags, and the colors in both sets are quite attractive. One set is a selection of pretty pinks, and the other collection is akin to brick red in color.

The lip kits are also nice, as usual. One kit has neutral shades and the other has pinks. There is also a MAC Viva Glam set. Again, I like the cases on these quite a bit this year.

Finally, there are new dazzleglasses out for the holidays, including two very nice pinks. The shades are softer this year, and I rather like that!

With its little keychain and glosses, I think the Clinique Best of Clinique Lip Gloss Set is adorable.

I saved my favorite for last. I think I might buy this one. The Giorgio Armani Summer Sheers Set is a great way to obtain a pretty sheer summer lip look. From the picture I love the shades! It is a bit pricey for my budget though, so I’ll have to ponder it!

Laura Geller Lip Dream Creams Lip Palette

I love, love, love, my Laura Geller Lip Dream Creams Palette in Apricot (it also is available in Berry). This palette with four shades of thick, creamy color is describe by Laura Geller as “combining the coverage of a lipstick with the comfort and shine of a gloss.” It is an accurate description.

The shades have a smooth texture and provide good coverage, similar to that of a medium sheer lipstick. But the product ultimately feels like a gloss and has some shine to it like a gloss. The shades also have a bit of metallic sheen that is rather unique and is very pretty. It is a great product! Wear it alone or over your favorite lipstick. The palette also comes with a very nice retractable brush.

Below are swatches of the shades from the Apricot Palette.

This one is a big favorite of mine, and adds to my current very favorable impression of Laura Geller cosmetics.
