One of my favorite makeup brands launched their Christmas collection last Monday, at Whitespace.

During the holidays, cosmetics are actually priced better because the gift sets come out cheaper than having to buy products per piece. In fact, not only do they try to make gift selection easy, but it’s also a good time to do some personal shopping.

This MAC collection wants to accompany us and glam us up, knowing the holidays mean dinners and family reunions in the evening. Overall, it is fun, glam and sexy—exactly how nights are supposed to be!

Divine Night brings us new Mineralize products in daring night colors: gold, bronze and violet pearl. They offer blush, skin finish, eye shadow, matching lipstick and Cremesheen Glass, even false lashes and nail lacquer to finish your look.

Attention and envy

With names like “Captivating,” “Talk of the Town,” “Fiery Entrance,” or “Stares & Speculation,” this collection seems to be made solely for attracting everyone’s attention and envy.

Stroke of Midnight is a larger collection that features eye, lip or brush kits for the perfect look. Each Lip Look Bag, available in nude or violet, includes Cremesheen Glass, lipstick and lip pencil, while the Eye Look Bags, available in nude, gold or violet, each contains a paint pot, false lashes, Fluidline and eye liner or shader. The Brush Kits offer brushes according to the look you’re after: Mineralize, Essentials or Smoky Eye.

For flawless quick fixes, a special Lip and Cheek Bag features warm lipstick, lipglass, powder blush, a slim mirror and a blush brush, all in beautiful corals, while an exclusive Grooming Kit includes a slim mirror, a duo lash comb and brow brush, a manicure file and tweezers.

Nocturnals features five jars of pigments and glitter, promising smoky eyes in three sexy palettes: Black and Gold, Green and Teal, or Silver and Violet. For your perfect lips, Nocturnals Lip Gloss lets you choose between coral, pink and nude.

This global brand also has a big heart. During the event, Gay Lao, brand general manager announced, “MAC Cosmetics would like to share that a grant of P1 million to Unicef will be donated from the local Viva Glam/MAC AIDS Fund to help alleviate the situation in the Visayas region.”

If you have ever secretly wanted to steal the spotlight, now’s your chance.
