November 2010 -

This year MAC cosmetics takes on a tartan theme with their 2010 Holiday Collection, a Tartan Tale. As always, MAC includes some great palettes and makeup kits that would be perfect as holiday gifts or great for yourself if you are looking for some new holiday shades. MAC’s eyeshadows are always a great value because they are well pigmented and wear quite well. Their lip products are also always perennial favorites.

Below are items from the 2010 MAC Holiday Makeup Collection:
