New In Makeup -- Christmas 2016

MAC
Mac Nutcracker Sweet
Christmas Holiday 2016
Mac Nutcracker Sweet

I’m hoping that Mac is going to do some adorable things for Christmas 2016.  Judging by the pictures, I’m not seeing anything super spectacular.  However, I do love the pictures and the adorable little Nutcrackers so I still have hope that Mac hasn’t let us down.  As well as Mac sells, I don’t have any worries that they’ll go out of business this Christmas.


LANCOME
Lancome Audacity in London Palette
Christmas Holiday 2016
The new Audacity palette looks amazing.  The Paris palette faced some horrible reviews and definitely wasn’t worth the price but perhaps this palette will have fixed the problems of the previous palette.  I’m loving the sparkle and I know those shades will really make green eyes pop.


URBAN DECAY
Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette
Christmas Holiday 2016
This beautiful palette has a wonderful assortment of colors.  It seems to have everything you’ll ever need.  Unfortunately, I bought the Spectrum Palette last year and don’t think that I really need both.  To be honest, I’ve only used the Spectrum Palette twice.  I really haven’t been super impressed with the Urban Decay shades.  To me, they are only okay.

Urban Decay Vice Palettes
Christmas Holiday 2016
Urban Decay is doing a lot in the lipstick scene.  Not only have they just released 100 lipsticks, they also have just released 2 lip palettes.  These aren’t really my thing but they can be easily applied with the help of a lip brush and can also be easily mixed together.  I love that they have a cover to keep the product off the mirror.  Just don’t leaves these in the car.


ESSENCE
Essence Box
Christmas Holiday 2016
I wanted a more affordable item on this list for those who like to spend more practical amounts on their makeup.  Essence is an inexpensive brand whose products have impressed me.  This seems to contain items that will work and be liked by a variety of people.


SMASHBOX
Smashbox
Christmas Holiday 2016
With this Smashbox collection, you get six lipsticks and their mattifying top coat.  I don’t believe that I really see a great pink in this collection and when it comes to lipstick I’m definitely a pink girl.  I really want their lipstick in pout and their Insta-Matte is amazing (I’ve reviewed it on this blog).


TOO FACED
Too Faced New York
Holiday Christmas Collection 2016
This is hardly going to be the only thing in the Too Faced Christmas collection but it is the only thing I could find a picture that showed the product.  I had planned on making a habit of collecting the Christmas palettes, but last year’s wasn’t so great.  Most people took their’s back, but I do still have mine.  This year’s doesn’t really call to my heart.


BOBBI BROWN
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Palette
Christmas Holiday 2016
I don’t really like these but I do know that they are super popular.  These have such a variety of uses and you could really use them all over your face.  You get three types of shades and a nice sized mirror.


MARC JACOBS
Marc Jacobs
Christmas Holiday 2016
These colors look a bit muted for my personal taste but I know a lot of ladies love these shades and look great in them.  Marc Jacobs usually releases something like this around this time of year and they’re always well received.  The eyeshadows are nice quality but they are relatively small in size.

These are only a few of the things coming out this holiday season.  This has been such a big year in makeup.  Mac and Urban Decay have both redone their lipsticks.  Bite and Smashbox have been doing new things in lipstick.  Lime Crime has said goodbye to their Unicorn Lipsticks.  And I’m sure things have happened in eyeshadow and blush.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and get everything you need.
