Your skin tone/coloring: Medium, Warm (NC25, NARS Punjab)
Favorite holiday palette? Probably the Charlotte Tilburry Fallen Angel (LOOOVE) and the NARS Guy Bourdin Cheek Palette from last year. I get so much use out of those two!
Favorite holiday set? Definitely the MAC Holiday lipglass sets. I always stock up for the year!
Favorite holiday limited edition shade/product? I’m really scared to run out of NARS Corsica lipgloss(my perfect MLBB gloss), MAC Seduced at Sea blush (goes with everything!), and Urban Decay Mrs. Mia Wallace!!! That is my PERFECT red. I will bawl when I run out.

I am blonde fair skinned (I wear light1 for Nars tinted moisturizer) my favourite holiday palette this year was the Tarte blush palette or the Nars domination cheek palette. I was super impressed by the sephora give me more lip set and the Nars digital lip coffret! As for favourite LE shades, I like it when companies stray from the classic red lips gold eyes, a darker more berry lipstick always makes me swoon haha.

Skin fair
palette- Lorac Mega Pro… although obtaining it was a hot mess
holiday set- Urban Decay Naked on the Run (is it a set? is it a palette? I think it’s both)
holiday limited- I’ve been loving the deeper reds/cranberries people are wearing this year (i.e.: Bite Tanning; Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Intense 48); I mean plum and red are always popular but this is a happy medium and looks gorgeous on most people. 🙂

Favorite holiday set? Either Caudalie Vine Luxury Body Set or Josie Maran’s Winter Dreams Argan Colour Collection (I may buy that one for myself after Xmas if I have a moment to get to Sephora)
Favorite holiday limited edition shade/product? I can’t think of one that I know of and want to buy…oh, wait, maybe that Chanel Camelia pressed powder highlighter. I doubt I’d ever buy it and I’ve not even seen it in stores but it’s the only thing that comes to mind and it sure did look pretty.

Favorite holiday palette? Well, I don’t *own* any of them, but I did like the look of some of the shades in the big Tarte one. For my own personal use, Lancome Golden Frenzy is a favourite!

Favorite holiday set? 😀 The Sephora Give Me More Lip set that I am currently enjoying! 😀

Favorite holiday limited edition shade/product? Wishing I owned it: the Chanel highlighter! Less specifically, unusual highlighters in general this holiday, which includes that pewtery Burberry one! 😀

Favorite holiday palette?
Since I'm not much of a palette person I only bought the one, the Smashbox On the Rocks palette, and I'm really liking it. The quality of the eyeshadows is very good and I love the colour selection!

Favorite holiday set?
Again, I only bought the one and I grudged paying what I did but I'm definitely warming to it. It's the Estée Lauder set of four miniature Pure Color Envy lipsticks. There's a lovely variety of shades and it comes with a cute little bag. It's a lovely lipstick formula.

Favorite holiday limited edition shade/product?
Without question it has to be the Guerlain Rouge G in Rouge Parade. My perfect red. Shame it's limited edition. I'll need to use it sparingly even though I want to wear it all the time!

I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never really been big on pallettes. I generally like to pick out individual colors from whatever brands I want. I know everybody has pallettes these days but I usually stick to single colors when I’m buying something.
