You're Not Going To Be Able To Say No To Any Of MAC's 2016 Holiday Collection

Sunday, October 16, 2016

Just when I thought MAC had stopped playing with my emotions and coming for my pockets this year with all the the must have collections they've launched. From Taraji, to Selena (which will be relaunching in January in case you missed it) to Star Trek, to Liptensity and Mariah.


They did it again.

My little makeup loving heart just can't take it MAC released the promotional photos for their Nutcracker Sweet Holiday Collection and well....

*Insert Jaw Drop*

THIS COLLECTION IS ABOUT TO BE EVERYTHING.

Normally i'm the type of shopper that can practice some level of restraint when a hot new product or trend hits the scene but no....there is literally NOTHING I don't want. 


Just take my money...give it all to me now and you can bury me a happy woman.

Personally i'm a sucker for beautiful packaging and 9 time out of 10 most of the reason I buy exclusive collections is just for the packing. The Nutcracker Sweet a little different because not only is the packaging to die for so are the products.

Inspired by all things sugary product names will have your sweet tooth aching and packaging will send you into a candy cane dreamland. 


The designs, gorgeous. The product, gorgeous. The options for beat faces, endless.

You will be able to get your hands on all the candy coated goodness on October 20th when the collection goes live online and October 27th it will be in stores.

The gag is, for this collection not all items that will be online will be in store and vice versa so you will need to do a little hunting for this collection.

The collection itself includes, three Nutcracker Sweet Eyeshadow Compacts that will have your eyes wrapped in candy-coated fantasy no matter your makeup style. 


Nutcracker Sweet Brush Kits, I mean the ability to create a whole wonderland of looks will be at your finger tips and the best part is that they are travel size! So even on the go, you can have a sweet beat.

There are lip kits (no Kylie lol), limited edition colors Nutcracker Sweet Mineralized powders and more, but I can honestly show you better than I can tell you so....i'll just let you fall in love the way I did.


Lets Hear It For The Lips

There will never not be a day that I do not Stan for MAC lipsticks, they were my first love when I originally got into make up and they have not lost their spot in m heart yet. The Nutcracker Sweet collection boast 5 beautiful new limited edition colors.
