MAC Holiday Collection 2011

It's that time again! The MAC Holiday collections are here!

...Well technically, they've been out for a few weeks now I believe. I'm just super behind on my swatchin'. :)
The holiday collection as a whole is pretty large. TONS of items. Keep in mind, I don't have every item, so within this post, you'll see swatches of only the items I have.

"MAC Me Over" Collection Swatches & Review

I honestly had (still have) mixed feelings about this collection when I saw it for the first time. Lots of re-promoted and permanent colors, a three-part somewhat confusing concept, and a ton of items.

As I've had some time to play around with the items I have, I appreciate it more. While the colors at first glance seem pretty basic, there are some hidden gems. Seemingly "basic" shades that actually have a little something special or different about them. A quad that looks boring, but when applied, contains such a unique and wearable green and purple.

I admit, when I actually used the products, I was surprised.

Oh and I can't forget all the shades work especially well for Fall.



The concept of the collection... still a bit fuzzy to me. But we won't get into all that.



Here are the items I have from the collection. Keep in mind, this isn't the complete collection, just the items I have.
