As is true with each holiday season, there are a slew of kits and palettes from MAC! This year’s Frosted Firework Collection is no exception (see the full breakdown here). I only purchased the two highlighter trios and the larger eyeshadow palette, since I’m already way, way behind on getting lip products swatched, but there are lots of lipstick and lipgloss sets available this year with a mix of new and permanent shades available.

Call Me Sugar is calling my name. If I could put it in a trio with Out on the Tinsel-town and There She Glows, I’d be very happy. In the full face photo you did, I love how your cheek looks with Desire Fire and the other highlighter (the MSF/single in the other post).
Where is the full face photo?
Thanks!
You can always click on any product to view all of its images!
Oh, I want your version of the trios as well!
LOL. Almost always my problem with trios – I’ll like one or, if I’m lucky, two of the shades….
Omg I love you for the amount of work and speed you put in to your posts. I’m really tempted by the highlighters this year and can’t decide between the trio (in light) or the single Let It Glow. Thank you so much for having the “compare any two” option. I can’t tell if there is any pink in Glitzed out…if not then it might be the way to go. It looks so much smoother than Let it Glow.
Glitzed Out definitely doesn’t have any real shift, IMO! MAC says it has “multi-coloured pearl” but it read pretty silvery-white on me!
I was excited about the eyeshadow palette… But the swatches are not telling a very promising story…
If only the eyeshadow palette was consistent in quality across all the shades, it could have been a winner. It’s not, though.
I do like the Medium Deep cheek trio quite a lot. All are shades I’d use, especially Desire Fire and Call Me Sugar.
The face trios are sooo nice! I kind of wish let It Glow was in the lighter trio—it appeals to me more than Glitzed Out, but they’re all gorgeous. If Call Me Sugar were a single it would be mine so fast!
The highlighters look beautiful, but the eye palette swatches contain some shades that seem very patchy, particularly the darker shades. But that is MAC…
Not caring for the swatches on the light palette. Well I wouldn’t use the gold and the pink didn’t look that great. I’m digging the white shade for inner corner highlight tho.
