MINI LIP KITS
Mac has released three sets of four mini-lipsticks. There’s a nude set, a ‘pink’ set, and a red set. These are $35 each and that averages out to $8.75 a lipstick. I can’t find how many ounces these are and finding the names of these were a bit of a headache.

NUDE
Creme Cup
Nouvelle Vogue
Kinda Sexy
Whirl
Creme Cup, Kinda Sexy, and Whirl are super popular nude lipsticks from Mac. Creme Cup is a pinky kind of nude shade. Kinda Sexy is a neutral mid-toned shade, probably not best for lighter skin tones. Whirl is a very dark shade, not very good on my skin tone, but well loved by others. Nouvelle Vogue is a new shade from Mac (I actually think it’s been released before but it’s not in their regular line) and in my opinion it’s more of a pink than a nude.

PINK
Impassioned
Dangerously Red
Girl About Town
Heroine
I know that Heroine and Girl About Town are two very popular Mac shades. I own Heroine but Girl About Town always seemed too dark for me. I really like pink lipstick but none of these shades are pink enough for me. They are either too red toned or that random purple shade (Heroine). Impassioned is a bright fuchsia. Girl About Town is a purple-toned fuchsia. Heroine is a bright purple shade. Dangerously Red is the new shade of the bunch, it’s a dark pinky-red color.

RED
Lady Danger
MAC Red
Diva
Rebel
Lady Danger, Diva, and Rebel are all top sellers. I tried on Rebel once and it looked terrible on me. Definitely not for my skin tone. Lady Danger is an orange-toned red. Diva is a dark red burgundy. Rebel is a very dark plum color. MAC Red is a true red that’s a little more blue toned than the incredibly popular Ruby Woo.

PINK NUTCRACKER SWEET MINERALIZE KIT
Be Fabulous Mineralize Rich Lipstick
Elegantly Elegant Mineralize Glass
Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish
This could be described as a pale girl’s best friend. And this kit is definitely my favorite. A pink mineralized lipstick and Lightscapade. Lightscapade is a beautiful highlighter that is perfect for pale skin. I personally don’t like lipgloss but I know that there are a lot of people who do. I also really like the makeup bag. I’m still using the one they came out with last year. This kit is $49.50.

| Mac Pink Nutcracker Sweet Retro Matte Kit Christmas 2016 |
PINK NUTCRACKER SWEET RETRO MATTE ($45)
Pandemonium (lipstick)
Bing Bang Boom Boom (liquid lipstick)
I really like these two lipsticks. They are very beautiful shades of pink. These look really similar in the swatches and I’m not sure they are different enough to justify owning them both. I also remember that the retro matte lipsticks have gotten mixed reviews.

| Mac Plum Nutcracker Sweet Retro Matte Kit Christmas 2016 |
PLUM NUTCRACKER SWEET RETRO MATTE KIT
Dancing Flowers (lipstick)
Oh Lady (liquid lipstick)
Dancing Flowers swatches out as a lighter shade than Oh Lady. Oh Lady is more of a true plum while Dancing Flowers is more of a mid-toned purple.
RED
Nutcracker Rouge (lipstick)
Fashion Legacy (liquid)
Fashion Legacy is more of a true red than Nutcracker Rouge and also seems to be a little bit more intense of a color.
Mac’s coming out with two sets that will give you a complete lip look. If you love nude or red, you can get a lipstick, lip gloss, and lip pencil. These kits are $29.50 each. The Trust in Red pencil is very patchy and the Candy Cane lipstick seems a little patchy too. These sets also come with one of those adorable lip bags.
