Shiver of Delight- Dazzleshadow – Rose gold copper sparkle.She Sparkles – Dazzleshadow – Light grey with silver sparkles.You also get a double-ended brush which has versions of their full-size eye brushes, 456SE and 457SE. Such a perfect palette to create warm, rose gold festive looks. I really loved the selection included in this palette. The quality of the shadows were fab, they felt so rich and creamy, the colour payoff was so intense too. Originally I wasn’t planning to get this, it wasn’t until I went in store and I was swatching that I decided I had to have it. I do believe this will only be available at your local MAC shop like the rest of the individual items mentioned. I am quite fair myself and I love this on. This is a soft champagne gold which gives a beautiful highlight and as it is light I feel that it would be suitable for fair skin tones. I don’t really understand why MAC never name these things as a highlighter, which is exactly what they are. Impalpable Glare Face Powder – Happy Go Dazzlingly I don’t generally go for a frost or lustre finish as I find them too sheer, but the frost finishes in this collection worked really well and I liked how they looked on. I personally love MAC lipsticks and their formula is one of my favourites. My local MAC stands have a few of the lipsticks left in stock so hopefully that might be the case elsewhere. The lipsticks are only available at the MAC counters or shops. Of course there is a red, and also a deeper berry red too. The lipsticks in this collection are very much what you might expect for a Christmas collection. Elle Belle – Amplified Creme – Rich berry red. I’m Glistening – Frost Finish – Cool toned mauve shimmer.Holiday Crush – Frost Finish – Muted pink shimmer.The MAC counters may still have availability on items sold out online however. All but on are sold out online unfortunately. All together there are five individual shadows. I absolutely love the shade range which has been included within this collection. The Extra Dimension shadows are embossed with a snowflake into the powder, they look stunning. It’s Snowing – Shimmer – Mauve pink tone.Delicate Drift – Duo Chrome – Light pink with rose gold reflects.Stylishly Merry – Duo chrome – Gold iridescent which breaks pink/orange.Ok, so I’m going to start out with the individual items first, and follow on with the kits I picked up. They might be available at your local MAC concession however, can’t hurt to look. I will note beside each item if it is available online or not, and I will link all available items. I know since launching that some things have sold out unfortunately, so I ran a Twitter poll asking if I should include it all, or only available products, and including everything won by a country mile. Now that’s a bold statement, but I genuinely believe it, it’s definitely my personal favourite. I would even go as far as to say I think that this is the best collection MAC have released. The gold and rose gold hues throughout this collection are a real thing of beauty. The embossed Snowflakes in the eyeshadows and face powders are stunning. I know, I know, a bit extreme right? It must have been around 0300 when I saw it online, I was lucky enough to have been able to buy all of the pieces I wanted, and them some! Even now I am still so glad I did it, feeling half asleep the following day was so worth it!įirst of all lets just take a second to appreciate the packaging! MAC, take a bow! You have really outdone yourselves on this collection. October 26th came along, from about midnight on the hour, every hour I had my alarms set to wake me to check for it being released. That was until I saw images of the new Snow Ball Holiday collection begin to circulate! OMG, my inner MAC fan girl died! I was right back in that place I was 7 years ago and I knew I needed this collection in my life! The packaging was to-do-for! I kid you not, it is so beautiful! The colours and products screamed out to me! I felt powerless to resist. Generally I watch their limited edition collections pass me by without a second look. The holiday lines would always be better stocked, but sometimes even then if was a real fight to get those must have pieces! The launch stress was real and I had many broken nights stalking their website willing the updated page to reveal their latest collection!ĭon’t get me wrong, I still love MAC, some of their products are my absolute ride or dies, but I don’t buy from the brand very often anymore. Anyone who knows MAC will be well aware how limited their limited edition products are. I was a loyal, die-hard fan of the brand and anything limited edition I inevitably needed! For the most part I was always on the ball for the launches. It has been sometime since I fan-girled this hard over a MAC collection let me tell you! Go back around 7 years and MAC was pretty much all I would ever wear.
