Deep Throat with a little bit of Orgasm on the apples of the cheek 

Goulue and Devotee as a highlight 

This palette is limited edition, offers six face/cheek product, and runs $65. This limited-edition palette features two of their most popular face products, Orgasm and Laguna. I was so happy to see that NARS came out with a cheek palette this year. They had come out with another face palette about two years ago and was difficult to find after it was sold out. If you love this palette be sure to get your hands on it as soon as possible. There is a wide range of shades available in this palette, there is a bright matte pink, berry mauve, peach with a glow, a sheer peach, and a bronzed brown. This would be a perfect palette to give to a loved one this holiday season or to spoil yourself with. Perfect for travel, has all of the products needed for a full face, and it's all in one place. Plus three of the products in this palette are limited and limited edition to this palette.

MAC Divine Night Collection

Perfectly Poised hightlight as well as Talk of the Town Blush

Left to right- Light smaller shade, Larger gold section, and both mixed together

Mineralized Skinfinish Perfectly Poised offers three shades. There are two individual shades that can be swirled together to create one color. The gold shade is pigmented but a bit powdery, the top shade is not pigmented but buildable, and the two mixed together are not really a pretty highlight for pale skin at least. The gold could work as an eyeshadow however; the price tag of the mineralized skinfinish is way expensive. 

A couple layers over primer

Mineralized blush in Talk of the Town while a little bit chunky does work well as a highlighting blush on fair skin. Those with dark skin may be able to use this product as a highlight. I like the light pink champagne shade with blush has to offer. This is a blush that will require a little bit of blending to achieve a full blushed look. 

I have the Lavish Living Blush on and a small amount of Perfectly Poised Mineralized Skinfinish

Gloss in Private Party 

Eyeshadow in Past Midnight

Fluidline in Stars and Speculation 

Natural Sunlight- The glitter is really present 

Mineralized blush in Lavish Living is pigmented but has way too much glitter for my taste. The shade reminds me of NARS Sin but with extreme glitter. The glitter is visible on the skin; I personally do not like this blush. If you enjoy blushers with an obvious sparkle this is a good blush for you.   

Swatched with a primer

Natural Sunlight 

Mineralized eyeshadow in Past Midnight is another product in this collection that offers three shades in one product. The purple is not that pigmented and does need to be built up in order to really see the true dark purple shade. The lighter purple is a bit chunky and powdery with little pay off. The two shades mixed together create a gunmetal gray. While this eyeshadow does swatch well on the eyes the shadows just blend into just a washed out gay shade. When swatching the rest of the shades in the store this seemed like the least chalky and most pigmented of the bunch. I was disapointed once I applied the shadows on the lid, even with a primer. 

Fluidline in Starts and Speculation is a really great olive green shade that is perfect for the fall. This product can be used as a liner or as a base for eyeshadow. The liner is a bit sheer when first applied as a liner but a light second layer really brings out the gorgeous olive gold shimmer.  My tip for preventing cream products from drying out is to store them upside down. 

Lipsick in Prepare for Pleasure is a really great fire engine red. I love MAC lipsicks so I am a sucker for gorgeous vibrant shade in their collections. This lipstick is really pigmented with just one swipe and is a red that will work on many different skin tones.  

Cremesheen gloss in Private Party is a great unique shade. I really do like the formula of cremesheen  glosses and I like this shade is great. There are two shades in this collection that are sheer and those shades are not worth the price point of MAC Cremesheen glosses. Revlon has great clear/sheer glosses that are a lot less expensive. The red gloss in this collection is really gorgeous. 

As a whole this collection is a bit of a disappointment. This is their holiday collection and I feel like many of the products are not pigmented, chalky, powdery, do not blend well, and are way too over priced. That being said there are a couple items I do like. I enjoy the cremesheen gloss in Private Party, Fluidline in Starts and Speculation, Lipstick in Prepare for Pleasure, and the blush in Talk of the Town. These products may not work for every skin tone or be for everyones taste. The design of the products are pretty and if you have a MAC lover in  your life and you wanted to get them something from this collection for Christmas just make sure you find out what works best with their skin tone because some of these product will not work for everyone.
