MAC Cosmetics Holiday Collection for 2014

I am underwhelmed with this collection this holiday season. I picked up some Heirloom Mix pressed pigments and so far they are just ok. The one shadow Noble Descent(Frost) is described as a pearly smokey mauve, It applied more pearly with a hint of duochrome. It was very sheer with a lot of glitter flecks. I had to build the color up and in doing so, it created major glitter fall-out. It lasted about 4-6 hours on my eyelids with a eye primer and paint pot underneath the shadow. I will be testing out the second shade I have this week, Enchantment. I hope it has better results. I'm thinking I may return the noble descent shade, as I have colourpop shadows that perform better and only cost $5.00 a shadow.

I also purchased one blush offered in this collection, Modest Blush. It resembles the color of a blush I have that was from a limited edition summer collection. That blush was called Fleet Fast, and I adore it. This Modest blush is described as a light baby salmon pink. It will be interesting to see the pigmentation and lasting ability. I will compare the two blushes and see if they are close in color.

I have looked at the Keepsakes Collection and so far nothing has stood out to me, that I really would like to own. I may change my mind if MAC releases other holiday items. Let me know what you would like to purchase from the collection or have purchased from the collection.  ♥ Stacey
