Estee Lauder Holiday Collection

Estee Lauder has some nice kits out for Christmas 2009. I especially like the brush kit. Estee Lauder brushes are attractive, and hold up well. The addition of a case with the set is rather nice.

Also rather pretty is the eyeshadow palette. It has an attractive holiday case and nice shades. Estee Lauder eye shadows tend to wear quite well, making the palette a nice holiday gift or simply a useful item for yourself.

Finally, the Holiday Blockbuster set is a $340 value that can be bought for $55 with any fragrance purchase.

Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection

Bobbi Brown Chrome is Bobbi brown’s 2009 Holiday collection. It features some neat and unique metallic shades. The eye shadows are quite different from other lines and the lip shades are extra metallic.The collection is below, along with a few other items that Bobbi Brown lists as “gifts,” and a couple of brush kits that I just had to toss in because Bobbi Brown makeup brushes are so darn good!

I recently looked at the Bobbi Brown Holiday Line in the store. If you like creative holiday looks or simply just don’t want your holiday makeup to look like everyone else, take a look at the Bobbi Brown Chrome Collection. It just might meet your needs.

For a full look at alternate shades on individual items, click the picture to see it on the Nordstrom website.

MAC Cosmetics Holiday Collection

MAC Cosmetics’ holiday collection this year is very pretty. While last year was bold , with bright red cases, this year focuses on soft shades and pretty silver cases. The MAC Magic, Mirth, & Mischief Collection is particularly nice, with some beautiful new shades of Dazzleglass. Below is the full collection at Nordstrom, including the Nordstrom exclusive MAC Lash Kit. Note that many of the palettes and individual items have multiple shades available. If you click the shopping boxes you will be able to see all of them. If you are reading this in the feed, the shopping links won’t show. Click the title to head to the site to see them there!

MAC Holiday Nail Polish, Lucky Number from Magic Mirth & Michief

I fell in love with the MAC Holiday MAC Magic Mirth & Mischief Nail Lacquer in the shade Lucky Number as soon as I saw it in the store. Go figure that they were sold out of it though at both the MAC store and at Nordstrom! So I mail ordered it.

The light lavender shade is quite luminous, with silvery pigment running through it. A swatch is below.

The MAC holiday polish also wore particularly well for me. MAC nail polish always does, but I got longer than normal with this one. I suspect it is because I got good one coat coverage and didn’t use a top coat, so the lacquer wasn’t as thick on my nails.
