First things first, the lip products in the retro Matte Lip Kits. I’m lovin’ that intensity. You can really see how intense and opaque they are in the swatches.
I’m making grabby hands right now at the Red Kit… That’s my personal standout.
The retro Matte Kits
Red kit ($45, retailer exclusive) — Nutcracker Rouge Lipstick (full-size retro Matte), fashion legacy retro Matte liquid Lipcolour (full size), Upward Black Upward Lash Mascara (full size)

I thought it was a little odd that the Mineralized Skinfinshes in the Mineralize Kits aren’t full size, because the other two items in each of the kits are (the Mineralize Lipsticks and Lipglasses). It just seems to me that if you’re gonna go full size with a kit like these, go full size, and if you’re gonna go minis, go minis.

OK, when I was growing up, we always had these tins with butter cookies in them that came in white paper cups, and the designs on these face Compact pans remind me of them for some reason.
I don’t know… That might be a Filipino thing.
There are two of them — Peach and Copper — and both come with a highlighter and a blush.
The highlighters are really shiny. too shiny for me, but I do like the sheen I get from the blushes. It’s just right.
Face Compacts
Peach ($35) — Tutu extra dimension Skininish, At Dusk extra dimension Blush
Copper ($35) — whisper of Gilt extra dimension Skinfinish, pleasure model extra dimension Blush
Face Compacts in Peach and Copper ($35 each)

Gotta say…I’m not the biggest fan of MAC’s lip compacts. I’m just not a huge fan of lip products in pans in general, but the Viva glamorous set is pretty cool. It comes with full-size versions of Ariana Grande Lipstick and Lipglass, and a cute bag.
BTW, when you layer the gloss on top of that Lipstick, it’s purr-fection.

Viva Glam Lip Compact ($23, available only at MAC stores and the MAC website) — Viva Glam I Lipstick (Matte), Viva Glam II Lipstick (Satin), Viva Glam VI (Lustre)

Que grande coleção … sinto que acabei de terminar as aulas de rotas de volta para trás.
Algumas coisas realmente se destacaram para mim, como toda a coleção de cores. Eu gosto muito de tudo sobre isso. e os kits de brilho labial e batom são valores fantásticos.
Eu também fiquei agradavelmente surpreendido com a qualidade das sombras na sombra dos olhos compactos de olho fresco x 9.

Eu acho que esta tem sido uma das coleções de feriados mais titilantes e alegres de Mac em um tempo.
