Overall, I loved Finery way more than Curiositease, but I think it’s because I really am a lip girl sometimes. I adore the packaging of the lipsticks; they’re white cases with the Antiquitease gold/silver crown motif on them. The lipglasses are mini-sized, but their caps also have the white casing and detailing of the lipsticks. I’m not lovin’ the bag so much, only because I have no clue what I will do with them! I know I’m not storing my Finery products in them, otherwise I’d never reach for any of it. I’m quite pleased with the colors that came out with each set, too. There really isn’t a set I’d want to miss, but if I had to pick, my favorite Plum lips or Pink lips. Have I mentioned that I adore the names of all of the holiday products? So classy and fun.

Overall, Curiositease is a gorgeously packed opportunity for MAC fans to try out a variety of lipglasses, plushglasses, soft sparkle liners, and pigments without buying them individually at higher prices. I felt like each set had a good mix of colors – some bold, some soft. I loved the stylish packaging of the canvas holders with crown motif emblazoned on the side. If you were wondering what to do with these, they make excellent makeup holders for brushes, liners, mascara, etc. If I had to pick favorites, I’d probably go with the warm lipglass/lustreglass and cool pigment sets.
