![]() There are some great products (notably the Mineralize Blushes) and some nice, easy, everyday colours (lipsticks), but in my opinion it lacks the drama and sizzle I usually associate with holiday shades - there's no killer red lipstick or emphasis on smokey shadows. Overall, I think this holiday collection is medicore. As well it has a great gel based formula which is completely non-sticky. Ever So Rich Cremesheen Glass ($21.50 CA) is a pale, milky lilac gloss which is very sheer, but does give lips a hint of paleness. She-Zam Dazzleglass ($21.50 CA) is a silver and pink micro-glitter laced gloss which would look great layered over any colour lipstick - a must have for people who like Dazzleglasses (and possibly even for those who don't!). Total Wow is the lipstick version of Conjure Up blush, and the two look great together - it is a deep berry pink with very good pigment (surprizing for a glaze formula!). Surprize Me lipstick ($16.50 CA) is a sheer peach with decent colour payoff.

This isn't one of those "10% of the total profits go towards " or "25 cents of every dollar goes towards helping ". It goes for $27 CDN ($22.50 US) and every cent of it's purchase price goes to the MAC AIDS Fund.

Here are the products I used to recreate my own MAC Smoky Eye: #Post haste mac eyeshadow pdf#Here's the link to the video: There is also a downloadable PDF of the step by step instructions and more information about the products he uses to create this look. It is important to note, as this video is very short, that a successful smoky eye requires lots of blending. This one, by MAC MUA Luc, is very simple and basic, using four eyeshadow colours, one eyeliner and mascara. You can use pretty much any colour palette for a smoky eye - greens, purples, greys, grey/black, bronzes, oranges, browns - and you can do a dramatic, complicated smoky eye or a very simple one. Smoky eyes are sexy, simple, sophisticated and very easy way to look sexy. This look is MAC's Smoky Eye, featured in one of the video tutorials on the American MAC website (why these aren't on the Canadian site is a mystery). ![]()
