MAC Holiday 2011 Gift Collection - Ice Parade: Snowglobe Eye Shadows

The next part of the Ice Parade Gift Collection is a series of eye shadow palettes, dressed up in the loveliest packaging that I have seen in awhile.  It states on the MAC website that this palettes actaully contain really working snow globes, I could spend way too much time in the morning playing with the snowglobe on the package.  However that is a risk that I must take to own one of these palettes!

"The grooviest, glitteriest and most go-go glamorous selection of Shadows ever!  Shakeable snow globe compants hold a festive flurry of six fun-filled shades!  All the sparkle this season - and any fabulous frost-filled evening - needs are here!"   I have stated a million times already that I own way too many eye shadow palettes but I really want to buy these, even if just for the snow globe on the packaging!

Here are the Ice Parade Eye Shadow palettes!

These are three of the best palettes from MAC in the recent months!  All three of them would be making my wish list.  If I have to pick just one, then I would go with the Warm palette, I love all of these shades and they will really work well with many of the other shades that I wear on a daily basis.  Gaelic Gold is a shade that I must look for on it's own the next time that I go to the counter, I love both the shade and the name and really want to add this to my collection.  My second favorite of the palettes is the Sultry palette, I like the blacks and plums in the palette.  I like the Cool palette but I am betting that this is the one that I could skip over the easiest.  I love the Idol Eyes shade but I would be more willing to buy this shade individually.

The packaging on these palettes will make a great gift and I will give these as well as buy them to keep for myself!  Next up is the Holiday Face Kits from Ice Parade...
