7 hours to go and I'm well prepared for the new year. How? - I collected loads of eyeshadows, lipsticks and glosses over the last few years, as well as various highlighters and glitters to spark up every event.
My all time favorites are the Holiday Pigment Sets by MAC. The usual jars are far to big to ever get used up by a non-professional makeup lover, so I got the sets from 2006 and 2007, making my pigment count increase to 21 colors. The most remarkable are the following:
- Vanilla (bottom row, second small jar from the left): white powder, golden iridescent shimmer when applied to the skin
- Old Gold (bottom row, third from the right): reddish brown/neon green duochrome, beautiful as neutral eyeshadow with a twist
- Softwash Grey (top row, second from the right): light lavender/blue shimmer which give a soft gorgeousness to brown eyes
- Violet (top row, very left): electric violet in a frost texture, not natural at all, but truly attention-grabbing
- Dazzleray (bottom row, third small jar from the left): warm golden sparkle with a touch of orange, lights up every eye corner
- Reflects Gold (bottom row, first small jar from the left): yellowish golden glitter
- Reflects Blue (bottom row, first from the right): blue glitter, ice queen effect guaranteed
I didn't buy the 2008 sets though, the Reflects Glitters were enticing, but the pigments themselves were very disappointing this year. I don't like colors with white shimmer throughout the line. Every cheap brand has eyeshadows with white shimmer, doesn't really look good... hopefully next year's sets are more interesting again.
