MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection

Merry Christmas Beauties

Today I am sharing with you products I have purchased from the MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection. I actually bought these products in October / November, but I have been so busy lately that I only just got around to playing with these today.

I got most of the products that was on my wish list, but there were also some products like the extra dimension eyeshadows that I missed and totally regret. Anyway, let's not dwell on it and focus on the good stuff. The first thing I want to share with you is the Snow Ball Face Bag, it is my number one most wanted item.

MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection - Snow Ball Face Bag

MAC Snow Ball Face Bag contains a highlighter in Whisper of Gilt and a face brush, the set is limited edition, but the brush is available to purchase without the fancy packaging as it is part of the permanent range. I am obsessed with the packaging of the highlighter compact, it's rose gold, it's gorgeous and it's just hard to describe. I bought this set not only for its' packaging, I was actually dying to get my hands on Whisper of Gilt, it is described as a pale gold shimmer highlighter, it's not a new product, it has been in a few limited edition collections and when this highlighter is available, it's always sold in minutes. So you kind of get the idea of why I need this in my collection.

MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection - Snow Ball Mini Nude Lip Gloss Kit

MAC Snow Ball Mini Nude Lip Gloss Kit includes one Vamplify Lipgloss in the shade Iced Over and two Cremesheen Glass in the shades Winter Warmer and Below Freezing. All three lip glosses are mini sized and they are exclusive to the set. The kit also comes with a slim makeup bag that reminds me of those Ted Baker pencil case.

MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection - Snow Ball Brush Kit Mini

MAC Snow Ball Brush Kit Mini includes three mini makeup brushes in rose gold packaging. These are SO PRETTY in person and I am not sure why they are not coming out great in photos. The kit contains a Powder Brush, a Rounded Shadow Brush and a Angled Liner / Brow Brush. I am not familiar with MAC makeup brushes, but from the few that I own from previous limited edition collections, I love the quality!

MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection - Happy God Dazzlingly Opalescent Face Powder

MAC Happy Go Dazzlingly Opalescent Face Powder is more like a highlighter than a face powder. It's a light gold shade that has a semi-opaque and buildable colour payoff. This is probably my least favourite of everything I bought from this collection, the product itself is not bad, I do like the packaging, but it just gave me that overall meh feel.

MAC Snow Ball Holiday 2017 Collection - MAC Holiday Crush

MAC Snow Ball Holiday Crush Lipstick is described as a metallic soft pink, all the swatches I have seen online looks nothing like when it's applied on my lips and I am a little bit disappointed. Online swatches shows a more darker rosy metallic shade, while it looks a lot lighter on my lips. Holiday Crush is a frost finish, it applies smoothly and evenly with a semi-opaque colour payoff that is buildable. The formula is comfortable during wear and it's not hydrating nor drying.
