With four beautiful eyeshadow collections and three coordinating lip palettes, this year MAC is set to outdo themselves. Here is an overview of just one of the many holiday gift sets from MAC Cosmetics.

Passions of Red - The Eyes

Each of the eyeshadow gift sets for 2008 are packages in a snakeskin embossed metal compact, and adorned in a faux jewel for additional sparkle. A travel sized 213 eyeshadow brush is also included in each compact. All of the compacts are limited edition and once they are sold out, they are gone for good.

  • Intriguing Scarlet: 6 Warm Eyes - Featuring Scant, Satin Taupe, Dark Devotion, Gorgeous, Ambiance, and Carbon, this collection is ideal for anyone who enjoys soft neutrals, plums and sultry green. Great for anyone with hazel, green, or brown eyes.
  • Infatuating Rose: 6 Cool Eyes - Including Platonic, Cavort, Satisfy, Bon Fête, Deep Feelings, and Feast, this palette is made for blue, brown or green eyes that welcome a touch of color. Especially beautiful on darker skin tones.
  • Devoted Poppy: 6 Classic Eyes - Made for virtually every eye color, and ideal for those with fair to medium skin tones, this set includes Young Thing, In Awe, Fall Deeply, Amorously, Sweet Eyes and Awaken.
  • Fascinating Ruby: 6 Smokey Eyes - Nothing is more sultry than a smokey eye, and this collection of Scant, Satin Taupe, Dark Devotion, Gorgeous, Ambiance, and Carbon provides the perfect color combination for anyone to create it.

Passions of Red - The Lips

Each compact in the Passions of Red 2008 Holiday Makeup collection from MAC includes two lipstick shades and one Lipglass Shade, as well as a miniature version of the popular 316 lip brush. Each of the compacts is made of snakeskin embossed metal and adorned with a matching jewel on top.

  • Devoted Poppy: 3 Coral Lips - Exactly as it sounds, this compact features two Lipsticks in Devoted and Soft Talk and a Lipglass gloss in Transparent Love. Not for the faint of heart, this color collection is truly coral and looks best on those with ultra-warm skin tones. More mature skin should use this collection with caution to avoid looking dated.
