MAC Glitter & Ice Holiday Collection 2011

The MAC Glitter & Ice collection is one of the ultimate whimsical collections. Super glittery, pearly, and frosty. Its very winter wonderland'ish. Everything with the exception of a few of the dazzle glasses are limited edition. The line is set to release October 27th. So here are the pictures and mini reviews!

Beauty Powder $24.00: How Beautiful, Snow Globe
These are meant to be used as and allover color but are better used as a highlight do to the frostiness. "How Beautiful" compliments all skin tones but "Snow Globe" may only look good on very light skin tones because it can look somewhat ashy.

Mineral Eyeshadow $21.00: Fresh Ice, Hold That Pose, Winterized, Shimmermint, Frozen Blue, Snow Season
These are questionaable only because of how they go on. They all have a metallic finish but none are true to color. The only bad thing is they do have fallout but i just love the metallic look. 

Technakohl Liner $16.00: Fancy Moves, Practice Makes Perfect, Silver Skates,
Seasonally Spicy, Going For Gold, Smooth Manoeuvre
These are not the best eyeliners. Although they are kohl liners they dont go on very smooth or dark. I just dont recommend these. But if you must buy one go for "Practice Makes Perfect" just because that teal color is in season.

Paint Pot $18.50: For Effect, Morning Frost, Let's Skate
These are great basis. Very shimmery. Especially good to highlight the brow bone and inner corner. And the
 product last forever..

Lipstick $15.50: Such Flare, What Joy!, Double Spin, Whirls & Twirls, Eloquent Air, Soft Sable
I just love MAC lipsticks so i have nothing bad to say except go for "such flare". nothing pops more than a matte red! 

Dazzle Glass $19.50: Love Alert, She-Zam, Pleasure Principle, Dressed to Dazzle, Glitter & Ice, Spanking Rich
Simply put a super glittery gloss that stays on longer than most!

Nail Lacquer $16.00: Get Noticed, Unconditionally Fabulous, Festive Finery
These formulas are better than usual. "Unconditionally Fabulous" isnt worth buying for the simple fact that
its just an iridescent glitter clear coat which ca be purchased from a less expensive brand.

Today's post is a review on the Hello Kitty Charmmy Kohl Eyeliner Kit from Sephora. It includes 7 mini kohl pencil eyeliners. The colors it comes with are (swatched below in order)... goodnight dreams (black), grape juice (purple), chocolate milk (brown), happy cloud (pearl white), blue sky (light blue), bicycle (emerald green), & blueberry (navy). The color pay off is great and very vibrant. They glide on very smoothly and are great for smudging. They all come in a convenient slim tin with Hello Kitty on the front. I have almost no complaints about this product. The only thing i didn't like was that because the consistency is so creamy they did tend to smear to easily. Now i didn't wear an eye primer or set the eyeliner with a powder so that may have contributed to the smearing. Overall i love them! I'm not sure if it is a limited edition product but like most Hello Kitty beauty products its very likely to sell out especially since its such a good value. I think these are going to be a top pick for the line ♥
