Nov 15, 2008
If there is someone on your holiday shopping list who loves makeup, look no further than the MAC Cosmetics 2008 holiday makeup collection. The limited edition MAC makeup sets are available while supplies last, and once they are sold out, they are impossible to get. Each year MAC releases several holiday collections. "Adoring Carmine" is a collection of Lipglass sets and miniature professional brush sets. The latest holiday eyeshadow sets and coordinating lip palettes are available in MAC's Passions of Red holiday selections.
Adoring Carmine - Lips
The Adoring Carmine holiday lip bags each feature two full sized lipsticks and one mini Lipglass. They are beautifully packaged in a patent and satin drawstring bag, and limited edition wine-red tubes.
- Adoring Carmine: 3 Red Lips - Featuring Adore It and Racy for lipstick colors and Frostlight mini Lipglass, this bold and beautiful red collection is perfect for creating a classic, strong red lip without looking garish. The Frostlight Lipglass provides a hint of shimmer and a lot of shine, while slightly muting the bold red colors.
- Adoring Carmine: 3 Neutral Lips - Ideal for someone who likes a natural, neutral lip for every day, this collection includes Soft Spot and Real Treasure full sized lipstick and a mini Lipglass in My Dear. Soft and subtle, these brownish plum tones complement fair to medium skin tones by taking the natural color and kicking it up a notch.
- Adoring Carmine: 3 Rose Lips - Pink lipstick will never go out of style and with the option of To Swoon For and Romancin’ lipsticks and Delicate Crush Lipglass, the perfect pink pout is easily achieved. Suitable for all skin tones, this pink set will undoubtedly be one of the hottest holiday must-haves for 2008.
Adoring Carmine - Professional Brush Sets
Quality makeup brushes can be an investment, but with proper makeup brush care, they can last years and years. MAC Cosmetics makes some of the highest quality makeup brushes on the market, and each year, they offer miniature versions of their professional favorites. While the quality is not quite that of their full sized brushes, these brush sets offer a good value at a great price. They are ideal for the beginning makeup wearer, such as those in their teens, or for someone who travels and would like something small and convenient.
Each of the Adoring Carmine brush sets is enclosed in a round, zippered brush bag and features a wristlet strap. The brush handles are a metallic red and are embossed with a black MAC logo.
- Adoring Carmine: 5 Basic Brushes - A complete set, this brush set features a brush for each area of the face. This set contains a large domed brush for blush or powder, two eyeshadow brushes for application and blending, an angled brush which works well for filling in the eyebrows or applying eyeliner, and a lip brush for the perfect application of lipstick.
- Adoring Carmine: 4 Face Brushes - The appearance of flawless skin begins with using the right tools. This set offers a synthetic foundation brush for the perfect application of liquid or cream foundation, a large dual fibre brush for finishing powders and blush, a concealer brush for detailed application under the eyes, and an angled blush brush for contouring the cheeks.
- Adoring Carmine: 5 Eye Brushes - The application of eye makeup is made easy with these five brushes. Included in the collection is a synthetic flat brush for applying color, a domed blending brush for working in the crease, a flat eyeliner brush, a pencil-tipped eyeliner brush, and a chiseled shading brush to aid in the creation of a smokey eye.
For yourself or for someone on your gift list, any of these MAC Cosmetics holiday makeup sets is sure to please. The lip sets retail for $34.50 and the brush sets are a value at $49.50. They can be purchased online at MAC, or in your local MAC store or department store.
