Time for another seasonal makeup post. We're barely halfway through October and we're already seeing Christmas Collections popping up all over the place. I'll be showing you some of the anticipated Christmas Collections from a few brands that I'm interested in. I won't be showing anything that isn't Christmas related, so I might be skipping over a few things. If you're thinking about sending your favorite blogger (me!) a Christmas present, I'd be more than happy to accept it. Hah just kidding.
If you see any updates please let me know! Last time I did a seasonal post, I found a bunch of new pics the day after I posted. haha obviously that was bound to happen.
I've decided to split this in half since this post is already very pic heavy. In today's post I will be showing you Christmas Collections from MAC, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Stila, and a few nail sets as well. Next time I will be showing you Sephora, Benefit, Chanel, Laura Mercier, and NARS. So far, the only one who's released their collection is Benefit and Sephora, so I'm still waiting to see what the other 3 brands are bringing to the table this holiday season. Hope you enjoy and do share what you're anticipating this year and which products have got your heart!
So obviously the day after I prep this post MAC releases half their collection.

Wow MAC came out with a lot of goodies this holiday season! There's so many products that are on my wishlist! I want the lipglasses, the eyeliners, the cool eye and face sets, some pigments, the lip sets, a lot of the mineralized products, the eye sets. Gosh, there's just so much that I like! I can't wait to see it all and to start swatching them! They've put up some serious competition this year. They have so much to choose from, it's going to be so hard limiting myself to a few items (and maybe a set or two). What are your favorites from this collection?
Too Faced - Joy to the Girls
Joy to the Girls
All I Want for Christmas
Jingle All The Way
A Few of my Favorite Things
Wow Too Faced!! I have to say that I was a huge fan of last year's collection. I got the Love Sweet Love Set and I've actually hit pan on a few shadows. So obviously, this year's was highly anticipated from me. Before they released the A Few of my Favorite Things palette, I was honestly underwhelmed. I kept thinking to myself "this can't be it" and when they released the final palette, well that was more like it! My mom picked it up for me the other day and I can't wait to test it out! Haven't had much time yet but it looks great. The Jingle All The Way cell phone palette also looks like a nice one, I'll be checking it out when it comes to my Sephora. I would have liked the Be Merry and Bright palette, but unfortunately it's an Ulta exclusive (we don't have Ultas here). I'm thinking of getting my mom the "All I want for Christmas" set because those are so her colors.
Urban Decay
Vice 2 Palette
Shattered Face Case
Naked Illuminated
Heavy Metal Liner
Wow Urban Decay seriously impresses this holiday season. Firstly, they're releasing Vice 2, which is the sequel to the best selling Vice palette. I'm personally not really into it, I didn't buy the first one, but I can see why this is such a popular palette. There's a range of colors, you can go from bold to natural. While this isn't on my list, it does make a great gift for that special friend of yours. What I am into, however, is both of the eyeliner sets. I'm currently lacking in the eyeliner department so when I see eyeliner sets, gimme gimme gimme!! The color selection is great too and they're high quality liners. Next up we've got two face palettes, Shattered and Anarchy. Personally, it's very hard to pick one because there's certain things I like about each that I would, ideally, pick and choose and put together my own palette. I like the shadows and liner of Anarchy, but the lip pencil and face palette of Shattered. Ugh what a dilemma! They've also reformulated their Heavy Metal liners. And, exclusive to their site, they have a new Naked Illuminator! Gahh how I wish they had that in store!! So on the whole, Urban Decay has put out a very good holiday collection this year! So many things that I want!!
Stila
Masterpiece Series Eye and Cheek Palettes
Color Outside the Lines Smudgestick Waterproof Eyeliner Set
Art of the Fine Line Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Set
Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm Trio
Color Me Pretty Lip and Cheek Palette
Holiday Essentials Kit
Best of Kitten Set
Artist Essential Set
Wow, Stila sure has a LOT to choose from this holiday season. I'm actually pretty impressed with the amount of stuff they've got out. There are a few things that I would like to have, like the Masterpiece Eyes and Cheek set, the Smudgestick Eyeliner set, the Cheek and Lip set, the blush set, and obviously the Artist Essential Set and the Artist Signature Set. The signature set looks pretty effing amazing. Soooo much stuff to play with!! It honestly reminds me of a children's paint set. Haha. I guess it kind of is like painting, making art on your face and all. A couple things were disappointing, like the Kitten set, how much kitten does one need? I've got everything that comes in that set. If you have Stila products, you have kitten. I'm not saying that I don't like Kitten (actually, I do like it) but they should make another set and not include it in every single set they make. I don't need 10 Kittens. But anyway, great range of sets, there's something for everyone there cuz there's so much to choose from! It's hard to not leave the store with everything.
Sephora Collection
Nail Blockbuster
The Twenty-Two
Big Bang
Nails Inc
Autumn Winter Collection
Christmas Crackers
Ciate
Mini Mani Month
Out of all the nail polish sets, my eyes are on Formula X for Sephora because they have a big range of colors. Deborah Lippman's looks great too, lots of different colors. And lastly, but certainly not least, Ciate has their mini mani month once again this year, and it's looking pretty darn good. I got last year's edition and I loved it. You get a huge range of colors along with the beads so you can make different caviar manis, along with a few different finishes of nail polish, like last year's had sparkles for example. This year's looks awesome and it's definitely something I'll be checking out and hopefully getting.
I hope you enjoyed my season post on all the upcoming winter products. It'll be Christmas in two months, I can't believe it. Better start writing those wishlists girls! Let me know which products and collections that you are looking forward to the most. I know I'm pretty excited about a few!! I hope this wasn't too long of a post, I know there's a ton of pictures. I love makeup shopping around Christmastime, there are always so many palettes and sets to choose from. I hope Santa's good to you all this year.
Steph xo.
P.S. Part 2 will be on Sephora Collection, Benefit, NARS, Laura Mercier, and Chanel.
