If you could build your dream holiday palette or set, what would it be?

Here are some ideas based on products I love that are on the pricier side, so I’d love the idea of a set or palette of them… Marc Jacobs Air Blush palette (c’mon!), Guerlain Rouge G Lip Color Mini Set (maybe four shades?), Bite Beauty Mini Prismatic Gloss Set, MAC Extra Dimension Blush Palette.

oh my god, I would LOVE a palette of mac’s extra dimension blushes!!!! that would be a dream come true!!! a set of pat mcgrath’s nudes, in limited edition packaging (navy blue for example), would be amazing as well!!! needles to say both the palette and the set should come in light, medium and dark variety.

My dream palette already came and went: Pat McGrath Decadence Mothership IV(?)! I really do wish Mother would re-release it, but with no sodium saccharin in the silver and gold shades this time around. Not a criticism of her work, but because I’m highly allergic to most sulfas, which saccharin is. This would be my dream holiday season palette!
For a set, Nars Audacious Lipsticks in a set of 3 or 4 generous sized mini’s would be fabulous! That formula works great for me, so it’s something I would have to go for. Or PMG mini Luxetrance Lipstick set in a few different options. A bright set, a neutral set, perhaps a red set? Another formula I love the application, feel and wear of!

yes I mistakenly thought the NARS holiday Audacious were a set of 3 minis in special packaging for $35! it was an exciting moment until I realized it was 3 separate full sized lipsticks

I’d love a palette of just MAC Extra Dimension eyeshadows – specifically from Alluring Aquatic but I know that”s not very Holiday.
I also liked those MAC Paint sticks – maybe they could bring out sets of those in shimmered taupe, bronze, pewter, gold, silver, etc. instead of or paired with the glitter sets.

I would love to see Sydney Grace offer a BYOP type deal with say 6 – 8 eyeshadows and 2 – 3 pressed blush and highlighter pans. Complete with magnetic palette of course!

I’d like another Zoeva eyeliner vault too please 😉 (with at least half new shades of course)

BH Cosmetics or Revolution to do an eye palette with just duochromes or dimensional shimmer shadows, with those new speckly freckly shadows type shadows (I literally just received the Revo Forever Flawless Allure palette and there is a champagne beige with flecks of pale pink and mint and it is STUNNING)

I’d like Nabla to do a blush palette with matte and satin shades, plus a couple of colourshifting toppers.

My Dream Holiday Collection set would consist of:
1. 4 of Colour Pop’s Lux Lipsticks (your choice of shades), but mine would be Foolish, LA Lady, Gallop and Tea Thyme
2. Blushes: A set of Clinique’s Blush Pop’s in coral/peach shades
3. A choose your own set of 8 -10 shades from Sydney Grace in a palette: My choices would be Amber, Cadet, Tiara, Antique Coin, Recruit, Wondrous Knight, Levy and Blushed. At least

I would also get behind a Marc Jacobs Air Blush palette. I’m still torn between two shades and I’ve found that I really love to mix my blush depending on the day, so this would be a dream come true! Marc Jacobs Beauty team if you are reading this please make this a reality! 🙂

I’d totally go for your ideas of a BiteBite Beauty Mini Prismatic Gloss Set, MAC Extra Dimension Blush Palette, and Marc Jacobs Air Blush palette.

For eyes, I’d just be happy if Pat McGrath re-released the Decadence palette.

I’d love a set of Fenty Iridescent Lip Luminizers like those in the Summer Daze and Summer Nights trios, that had the funkier shades. I’d have appreciated those much more than those awful metal lipsticks they brought out last year. I’d like the set to have: Red with green shift and gold pearl, lavender taupe with silver shift and pink pearl, deep blue with icy blue pearl, and black with red and green shimmer.

I’d also love a Tarte blush palette with a nude, a cool mauve, a lavender, a cool pink, and a berry or bright plum shade. Something more fall and wintry than the coral palettes they’ve been pumping out the last three years. I don’t need any more. lol
