I might be interested in the Fix+ kit, depending on how much it costs. I’ll need new Fix+ soon anyway, and I like the idea of trying all of the scents. Other than that….not for me. I need ten new lipsticks (in colors that I didn’t pick) like I need a hole in the head.

Oh my – some of these have such lovely presentation! I love the bow effect pressed into some of the highlighters/face palette products. And those little pigments are adorable but there are colours in each set that just don’t appeal to me. I’ll be interested to see if the quality measures up to the pretty presentation.

The MAC holiday lip kit was the one holiday set I was really waiting for. Last year’s big Snow Ball mini lipstick set was so nice. This year, the 10-piece Shiny Pretty Things Lip Kit is extremely disappointing.

First, I already own all but two of the shades. More than half of the lipsticks in this set are just MAC’s regular minis in different packaging. Four of the shades in this set were also in last year’s set (although last year Ruby Woo was a matte, which was nice).

Also, last year’s set was $69.50 for 12 mini lipsticks ($5.79 each). This year’s set is $79.50 for 10 mini lipsticks ($7.95 each). That is a significant difference.

I’m not very interested in anything else here, so I’ll be skipping MAC’s holiday offerings this year.

Another offering that channels the ‘for new admirers’ mindset. Holiday often disappoints those who have been collecting for years. Lots of tf with the holiday packaging is the same old, same old. At least they got with the program and put out the gingerbread stuff and new peach. I don’t consider myself a MAC person, and I have four, prob the boldest. I do believe that holiday is more to recruit newbies than to appeal to diehards.

Yeah, I guess you’re right. Last year, a group of us went in on the Snow Ball mini lipstick set, which was fun, and we were hoping to do it again this year. But the $2+ per lipstick price jump has made it unappealing to all who would have been interested.

I was thinking that maybe I could split the liquid retro matte lipsticks with friends. Does anyone know if these are full size?

I am interested in the Glow palette as my daughter doesn’t have Whisper of Guilt and I think she would like it. Have to see the rest when it launches. Lately, I just haven’t been feeling MAC. I use to be really excited to go to Spokane and visit the MAC counter at Nordstrom’s. The last time I was there I couldn’t find anything to buy which is really crazy for me. I still use MAC Fix + and will until they stop making it, God forbid! Otherwise, I just feel like maybe the brand needs a complete overhaul.

*yawn* eye sets, lip sets, face sets, brush sets. Its the same thing every year. The fix+ set might be nice to have but other than that its zzzzzzzzz.

Hex Avatar

this stuff looks great. so much I want. will have to skip the mini lipsticks though, I just can’t stand minis. might try the Fix+ since I’ve never tried it before. the face trios and the Glow Getter pink are calling my name, as is the pink pigment/glitter set. and the liquid lipstick set interests me as well, because they are full size right? I’ve never tried a mac liquid lipstick and I’ve been dying to. but i should probably just by one instead of a whole set.

I like a lot of the kits and “goody bags”. The highlighters and Strobe cream sets look pretty. Also like the highlighting palette. I usually buy my niece a MAC holiday set every Christmas. She likes nude lip sticks. Looks like there’s something for everybody in MAC’s holiday collection.

The eye party eye palette is listed as being 1.32g… that seems miniscule if it is referring to the whole palette, surely it is each shade meaning they either must be deceptively large pans, very dense or very deep
