When I first mentioned this Holiday Collection from MAC, I just knew I was going to love it. The packaging is so vintage-chic, that I covet it like a prized posession.
Of the Royal Assets eye shadow palettes, 6 Warm Eyes is my favorite and the picture of this palette doesn’t do the colors justice. The color palette includes: Sunday Best, an ivory with frost (frost); Star Violet, a eath-touched pinky-brown plum fusion (veluxe pearl); Retrospeck, a beached blonde (lustre); Club, a muted reddish brown duochrome with freen opalescent shimmer (satin); Showstopper, a neutral dark brown and Nobility, a light pink taupe (satin). I cannot tell you how gorgeous these colors will look on you–because they sure looked gorgeous on me!
The lip palettes are amazing, although the 3 Red Lips didn’t really look good on my super pale skin. I often wish I could pull off red lipstick like Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera.
This collection is only available now through December, so if you see a palette you fall in love with, I’d advise scooping it up before it’s too late. www.maccosmetics.com
Hi Shannon….the Royal Assets collection is my favorite of MACs holiday offerings……I’ve been eyeing the metallics palette…all of the palettes actually!
I regret not getting the palette! I decided to get brushes instead. I love my brushes though, so maybe it was all worth it.
Until recently I never understood the whole MAC obsession thing, but I have seen the light! These are all beautiful colors I would use and the compact is to die for!
I think this was MAC’s best holiday collection ever. Aside from useability of the colors they offered, the packaging was too pretty to resist. I wish I’d gotten more of them now.
mac gets better ever year! i have sets from over the years & this is hands down the best!
i agree with everybody, this was like the peak for mac. beautiful on the inside and outside! the lipcolors are so fun to play with and you can combine the three colors to make even more colors!
I just bought the metallic set, the warm set, and the somkey eye set and I love them all! I also got them for just $25 each at the Company Store. Yay!
