Sephora Holiday 2012 Gift Sets & Palettes

Good Morning!

Just wanted to say I am a bit behind on stuff this week. I have to pick winners for last week’s giveaways and mail out a few giveaways (if you haven’t gotten your prize don’t worry it’s coming your way soon). Most important I am very, very, very, very behind on e-mail. Apologies if I haven’t replied, I’ve just been swamped. I’m also a bit behind on comments and hope to get that cleared up shortly as well.

Now…on with the Holiday 2012 show!

Today my little eye has wandered across a few new items from the Sephora Holiday 2012 Collection, here are some items I might want to pick up!

The MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection has launched online and will be available this Thursday on counter. The collection is an ode to one of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars, Marilyn Monroe.

If MAC was going to be inspired by anyone I’d say Marilyn was a good pick to represent classic, silver screened beauty. The collection features an array of products inspired by the starlet and features her beautiful image on the packaging.

Marilyn Monroe was a very minimalist beauty queen in my eyes. Some liner, vibrant red lips, and milky skin was about the extent of her look so of course, MAC introduced four vibrant, limited edition shades of red lipstick to suit a ton of different skin tones.

I’m not a fond fan of red lipstick but I’ve come across a few that I hold on tight too. I typically look best (or I’m delusional that I look good) in warmer shades of red. I think it’s nice that the MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection has a variety of reds to choose from to suit cooler and warmer skin tones.

Let’s take a look at two of my favorite shades from the launch.

E.L.F. Cruella Evil Everday Eyes Palette Review & Swatches

Purchased
I purchased this item.

I can’t get the stupid Cruella song out of my head every since word popped on E.L.F.’s new Villain Eye Palette Collection. I sing it in the shower, I hum it at work, God what an ear worm to have.

As you know E.L.F. released three Disney Villain inspired Eyeshadow Palettes for Halloween 2012. The palettes are $9.99 each and available exclusively at Walgreens (in most cases they can be found in the Halloween section of the store).

The palettes are made from a sturdy cardboard and feature essentials for creating a Villain themed eye look.

I got my hands on Cruella’s Eyeshadow Palette recently.

Here are my thoughts.
