MAC Christmas Collection- My Picks

This years Christmas collection by mac is probably the nicest we've had for awhile. This is my second Christmas working for mac but before I worked for them I was literally in the shop everyday. This year it's called the Heirloom Collection. Everything is packaged so beautifully! All the packaging for the main collection and all the gift sets is all covered in glitter! 

Objects of affection/pink + rose pigments + glitter set

Objects of affection/bronze pigments + glitter set

This year I picked up 3 of the gift sets. I got 2 of the pigment sets, although i could of bought them all because they are so beautiful. I also go the Nude Lip Bag. The pigment sets are called 'Objects of Affection'. I got the Pink/Rose pigments & Glitter and the Bronze pigments & glitter sets. They come in a beautiful glittery black box (in the picture) with a cameo medallion. The pigments/glitter in the Pink/Rose set includes (L-R) Whisper Pink, a soft beigy pink with pearlized pigments. Tan, muted pinky brown bronze. Rose, Rose with copper sparkle. Reigning Riches, soft copper. Heritage Rouge, dirty brown plum. (I got the descriptions of the colours off the mac cosmetics website). All of these pigments are beautiful. There are only two limited shades in this set, which are Whisper Pink and Reigning Riches (glitter). All the colours in this set work beautifully together. I personally prefer the pigments/glitters in the smaller pots.
The other pigment set I got was the
Bronze pigments & glitter. Again it came packaged in the same beautiful box. This set was an online exclusive. I am so happy I found this set. The pigments/glitter in this set include (L-R) Melon, soft bright golden peach. Naked Deep Dark, darkened brown (I think this is a soft brown shade it's not dark). Copper, smooth high-shine copper. 3D Copper, high glitter copper. Chocolate Brown, chocolate copper/bronze. Again there are only two limited shades in this set, 3D copper (glitter) and Chocolate Brown. I love all the shades in both these sets and i'm so happy I have them! 

Swatches of both sets. Left Pink/rose set. Right Bronze set. 

The last thing I bought was the Keepsake Nude Lip Bag. I had convinced myself before it came out that I did not need this lip bag. Then I tried it on.. I loved it. So obviously being me I bought it. I really do love it.

Keepsakes Nude lip bag

This set include the lipstick in Kiss The King, this is has a Luster finish and is described as peachy coral. It also includes the lipglass in Chic Supremacy, a soft creamy yellow nude. Lastly it comes with the lipliner in Boldly Bare, dirty red brown (I think it has a hint of pink). It also comes with this pretty white glittery makeup bag with a 'Pearl' trim. When the lipstick and the lipglass are layered on top of one another it mixes the colours together. I can't really explain it. But if your like me and love your lipstick go into the store and try these on, it really is beautiful. I think I liked it because i'm used to wearing pale nudes like Myth and this is more of a pinky nude.

Overall i'm very happy with everything I have bought from this collection! I can't wait to wear some of the colours and play with the glitters!
