The MAC holiday Colour collection is named Glamour Daze, a great name single we all seem to get dressed up and go out more during the holiday season. The holidays aren't my favorite time of the year however I do enjoy attending one or two parties this season and I will want to look special for each gathering. Glamour Daze contains all kinds of makeup products; from special Lipglasses to the limited edition In Extra Dimension formula cream eye shadows. This collection contains almost all shimmery products so you will need to love this type of textured products for this collection to work well for you. If you don't do a lot of shimmer during the rest of the year, this is the perfect time to try out a shimmering eye or lip look and see how much you can change your look with just changing a few products!
Here is the collection description from the MAC website, "The glamour of getting ready to step out for the holidays. Sweet to sexy, lips to nails. Every angle, every detail obsessed over. An unforgettable look emerges in a cool cloud of pale pink edged with smoky grey - the shimmer of a festive finishing touch. One last glance and you're out the door. Limited edition." I am so envisioning a shimmering gray and silver smoky eye with a cool pink lip...it's time to shop!

There is a lot going on with this collection so we are going to take a bit of extra time with it. First of all, I love this collection and it is very unique compared to what I have been seeing so far this season. I am very impressed with the lack of reds and golds since these two shades tend to make up at least half of the holiday collections and often times make the holiday collections all begin to blend together after the first few weeks of releases. I am already thinking of creating a look for myself that reminds me much of the 1960s and London, I almost feel like I should be pairing my holiday makeup look from this collection with a Bardot-style bouffant hairstyle! Very much like the model for this collection...
I am going to be first looking for shades to help me create this look that I have been raving about. We are starting with the eye makeup products in this collection since they are the cornerstone of my vision. From the Extra Dimension Eye Shadow, I want Ready to Party and Evening Gray. I am seeing using these shades as highlighters to start the smoky look. Next, we need to move onto the eyeliners in this collection, the Fluidline in Little Black Bow will be the next step in creating this look and will be coming home with me when I visit the counter. I like the Kohl Power in Feline however this shade comes out in so many limited edition collections and I know that I will be able to get it much easier than the limited edition Fluidline shades so I will skip over it unless Little Black Bow is totally sold out with no hope of obtaining it easily. I want to try this mascara formula however it is part of permanent collection so I can buy this at any time and I already have a good supply of mascara in my traincase...
I can easily skip over the face and cheek products in this collection, nothing really jumps out at me or is so unique that I can't find a very similar shade with another brand. The next aspect of this collection that I want to shop is the lip products. I see some items that I want from both the Lipstick and the Lipglass products. From both of the products, I am looking at the pale pink hues, however I will be taking my tube of Viva Glam Gaga (the original) to the counter so I can see if there is any dupe potential here...I love this shade! Lipstick-wise, I must buy the Beauty shade to pair with the deep eyes. Adding on here, I want the Lipglass in Pink Fade and Impossibly Sweet (two more light pink hues), I will use these shades all the time against strong eye makeup and I must own them all. After I buy these three shades, I am done with lip products. I don't really love any of the other shades in this collection.
The last piece from this collection that I am considering are the new shades of Nail Lacquer...I love the look that the model is wearing and I am considering taking this picture to my stylist to see how hard this look would be to create on my own. That being said, there is nothing super special about any of these polish shades and I would be able to create this look with all kinds of shades. I wouldn't mind buying Endless Night and Girl Trouble but they aren't products that I will be pre-ordering at the moment...but once I see them my thoughts might change.
I love this part of the MAC holiday collections and I am now so excited for tomorrow when we begin looking at the gifting parts of the collections!
