From the moment i heard about MAC's holiday collections i was excited.
So much to choose from- look bags, palettes, lipstick, eyeshadow, blush,
all in beautiful packaging with inspiration from the 1960's. Each
collection with amazing items to choose from. This review will focus on the
Primped Out Eye Look Bag in Decadently Pink and
Primped Out Lip Look Bag in Luxurious Pink.
Primped Out Eye Look Bag in Decadently Pink-
This set comes with an eye
shadow duo that contains Radical Pink (frost) and Shadowy Lady (matte), a
Power Point eye pencil in Boardeauxline,
Shading brush, and
Opulash Mascara. Even though the theme of this bag is pink it ironically comes in a mint and black cheetah print box and makeup purse. The makeup purse which is made of plastic, yet has a satin and lace interior, does not have enough room to hold the products it comes with unless you wiggle them in and force them to the bottom. So it is cute but not functional for the products that it comes with.

Opulash Mascara in Bad, Bad, Black-
This mascara both lengthened and made my lashes look fuller. I liked the big brush but found the mascara formula itself to be a little messy. It did not leave lashes stiff or brittle but i found this product to take a while to fully dry thus making it easy to smudge.
Power Point eye pencil in Boardeauxline-
While the shade appears to be a burgundy color but when applied is more of a violet. It goes on smooth, is bendable, and does not tug on the eyelid. I do not feel this shade really matches the eye shadow included completely since Shadowy Lady is a very dark plum, it does match well with Radical Pink.

275 Medium Angled Shading Brush-
This brush feels very soft and it picks up just the right amount of eyeshadow needed. I like that it is angled so it is easy to apply shadow to the lid, crease, or brow using it.
Eye Shadow X2 -
This duo consists of Radical Pink (frost) and Shadowy Lady (Matte). Radial pink is a very soft pastel shades that applys with a good amount of pigment. I personally didn't find it to apply like a frost maybe more of a satin. Shadowy Lady (which was also included in Whims and Fancies eye shadow duo for the Style Seeker collection) is a matte deep, blackened plum. It has enough pigmentation but i feel there could be more. When applied over primer it can appear almost black. These are soft enough to blend well but don't produce much fall out. Radial pink left a light dusting of excess powder while Shadowy Lady left none.

Overall this look bag was a good value at $46 (shadow duo worth $27, Power Point Eye pencil worth $15, Opulash mascara worth $16, and 275 angled shading brush worth $25). The overall quality was good and the bonus makeup bag (even though the included products did not fit) is cute and useful.
Primped Out Lip Look Bag in Luxurious Pink-
This set comes with a
Lip Pencil in Great Catch,
Cremesheen Glass in Call Me Gorgeous, and
Ceremsheen Lipstick in Lickable. I am usually a fan of of the matte and amplified lipstick shades that MAC offers, i haven't bought a glossy product from MAC in over 5 years because i find no use for them, and i never use liner. So why did i buy this product? Because i had some faith that this, above all else, was really going to impress me, and i was so right! The Lip Look Bag in Luxurious Pink is perfect for girls who love pink, love having a complete lip look, and who love getting a discount. The worth of the products in included in this bag totals at $49.50 (Lickable - $15 (this lipstick is part of the permanent line), Lip Pencil $15, and Cremesheen Glass $19.50) So you are paying $10 less ($39) and receiving a cute pink pink makeup bag as well. I found the quality to be fantastic and the wear flawless, read on for individual reviews.

Lip Pencil in Great Catch-
This pencil, in a bright cream fuchsia color, matches perfectly with its pink counterparts. It glides on the lips without any tugging or unevenness. It can be used as a liner or as a matte finished lip shade. It can be smudged and blended but does not smudge easily after being set.It has rich pigmentation and lasts for about 6 hours.

MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Lickable-
This shade, which is part of the permanent collection, is a bright blue based pink. I always somewhat expect Cremesheen lipsticks to be on the sheen side, or slightly less pigmented, but this shade is very pigmented. With one swipe you will achieve full coverage with no streaking. This shade glides with the classic MAC vanilla scent. After wearing for 4 hours i did not feel like this shade was drying or uncomfortable. There is a slight shine to this shade but it doesn't apply glossy and fades within an hour to about a semi matte wear. Since it is included in this Lip Look Bag it has Glamor Daze special packaging which is a glossier tube with no silver. Since this is a bright pink it may not be your go to pink for everyday wear but i think every girl should have this color in her collection.

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Call Me Gorgeous-
This Cremesheen Glass shade is a bright fuchsia with golden pearl flecks. This shade is reflective and shimmery. I was very impressed with the application and wear of this product. I am very critical of glosses and i liked that this gloss did not feel sticky and did not leave my lips feeling wet (just lightly glossed). The pigmentation is great- enough to wear on its own, over lined lips, over lips filled in with liner, or over lipstick. This shade is shimmery but does not come off as glittery. Does not have a bad smell or taste. The packaging had a black printed bow along the side of it to match with the Glamor Daze packing. Since this is not part of the permanent collection your only way to pick this shade up at the moment is with this Lip Look Bag. Applicator is a soft sponge tip.
