MAC Pro Lip Palettes

Pro Lip Palettes is newest little collection from MAC and will be the last collection before all the huge holiday collections start to come out within the next two weeks.  This is a collection that contains five new lipstick palettes, each of which contain six shades of lipsticks.  I do wonder why this collection was released now, it could have been released with one of the big gift collections that will come out this month if MAC would have put more festive packaging on it.  Each of this palettes is focused on several variations of one lip shade.  Being that these are considered to be Pro palettes, I do wonder if all the shades in each palette are wearable or it I would be able to pull off three or four shades and the others will be too dramatic for me to easily wear.

"Red, orange, pink, plum, brown, the shades influencing Fall 12's colour trends, now in 5 Pro Lip Palettes with 6 stylish variations of tint and finish - even more when you blend! All you need to keep your kit current."  I can imagine that I will want the red and the pink palettes but I doubt that I would get much use from any of the other color combinations.  Not that I need anymore red lipsticks from MAC but we all know that I will want them anyway...

I was right that the only two that I might want to purchase are the pink and red palettes, I might be more likely to purchase the pink palette as I don't own any of these shades already.  I own MAC Red and Russian Red from the red palette and while I love both of them, I am not really in need of a back up at the moment.  These palettes are nice enough but I'm not that excited for them and they could have easily waited and been released with the holiday gifts and they would have gotten much more attention.

Onto MAC Holiday!
