Favorite: Chanel. Loved the pink and chocolate-y bronze combo.
Least Favorite: MAC’s Tartan Tale. I found the collection to be extremely ugly and cheap looking.
Best New Product: Armani’s Eyes to Kill single shadows. Stunning in color and texture.

Fave: Hands down, CHANEL’s Holiday collection blew me away.
Least Fave: MAC A Tartan Tale and Dior. MAC was just unappealing to me this holiday. As for Dior, everything was beautiful but I don’t wear eyeshadow and this collection had plenty of quints and palettes.
Fave Product: CHANEL Tweed Fuchsia. It’s gorgeous.

Least favorite: Mac A Tartan Tale, I’m about over Mac and their way of introducing things. They run out way too quickly on some things and it’s very frustrating.

Favorite holiday collection: NARS, without a doubt!

Least favorite: MAC’s Tartan Tale — I didn’t like that they shove a million products in your face that aren’t very good quality, with the exception of the pigments!

Favorite product: NARS Little Darling lipstick and the Warm Thrilseekers pigments from MAC!

Favorite new holiday shade/product this year? As of now, I would say my new YSL Gloss Pur in #8 Watermelon, even though it was released in summer, I just bought it a few weeks ago. 🙂
