And dear lord, there’s MORE???? My wallet was going broke just looking at the first posting! I love mini sizes, and the Nutcracker packaging is so cute, I will need to get at least one of these sets! This looks like a very nice holiday collection

Hi Christine, do you know which of the eyeshadows the person with the black wig in the first picture is wearing? Its so pretty. I really like that kind of pink. It will mean a lot to me. Thanks a lot

Cute packaging and I’m keen to see the eyeshadow quads but, basically, no thanks, MAC. They’re doing it again – a new collection every 2 days, it seems. Who can keep up? (and poor Christine, if she’s going to be trying to test all of these!)

That would be amazing! I was totally bummed about the colored mascaras I bought from YSL (including a hot pink). They were awful and I pitched them – later found out that YSL had recalled them due to quality issues…would have been nice to have gotten a refund! I think the only colored one they still carry is the Hippie Green. If I find a good one, I’ll let you know.

I know, me too. I admit, I’m not a MAC person for a few reasons – but this would have driven me away if I were a fan. i just don’t get what they’re thinking.

Kirsten Avatar

I thought I made it out unscathed when I saw the palettes, but those nude lipsticks are kind of calling my name. And I’ve been curious about their pigments too. Yikes. *closes tab*

Kirsten Avatar

I wonder what size they are. If they’re the same or smaller than the Bite mini set, it will be an easy pass for me, since I already bought those and can’t see spending more per oz for Mac.

Deborah Avatar

Love the packaging – good job MAC! I am interested in a couple of the Cremesheen glass products – maybe a mini lipstick. And maybe this – and maybe that LOL This is tough!

Shalonda Avatar

I am eyeing the red lip gloss kit. I love the creamsheen formula!! I have more than half of the red lipsticks and even though pigments are great I never really use. Help me please avoid spending more money Mac!!! Stopppp
