MAC Making Pretty Holiday 2012 Collection Swatches & Review
MAC Making Pretty for holiday 2012 is a really gorgeous looking collection featuring pink and rose gold packaging. SO cute!
It’s a small one including only an iridescent powder (Silver Dusk), three sheer powders (Light/Medium, Medium Plus and Dark Secret), two lipsticks (Runaway Red and 3N) and a face and eye brush set. You do pay for what you get in terms of packaging here – nothing is cheap!

Sheer Mystery Powder in Medium Plus, Dark Secret, Silver Dusk, Runaway Red (NC20 skin)
Unfortunately for me neither of the Sheer Mystery Powders are my shade. I would probably be Light/Medium. But they feel very finely milled and soft.
Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder is a loose, soft powder with Mica. It gives off a soft silvery/pink glow. Best packaging ever!
Runaway Red is a bright red satin lipstick. Great red shade.
Availability: Most everything is sold out online already but may still be available in stores.
Pricing: Silver Dusk ($65 for 0.51 oz), Sheer Mystery Powder ($65 for 0.28 oz), Lipstick ($28 for 0.15 oz).
Do you love this packaging? How about what’s inside, worth the price for you or no way?

Very pretty packaging but it’s not worth the price imo.
This collection would be too pretty to touch. Also, the price tag is a little too hefty for me. This is a pass.

I love the rose gold, but the lipstick packaging looks really cheap IMO.
the lipstick looks great on you!
but the price tag is a bit too high
The packaging looks kinda tacky but I do love the color and it looks really cool on the black tray in your first photo!

The packaging is super cute but the price is a little outrageous for me. This is one of the first things I’ve seen from mac that I’ve *wanted* but I will not buy their products until they switch to cruelty free.
The packaging IS the selling point for this collection! These pieces would look great on a white and pink vanity. LOL Those prices are outragious!!!
I like the packaging on this but the prices are a bit outrageous! I like how feminine & girly it looks. Has a bit of a retro feel to me!
I would love the sheer mystery powder for the stunning case but I can’t fathom paying $65+tax for a pressed power.

I love the packaging, so I will get something from this collection (it hasn’t been released where I live yet) for sure. It sure is expensive though!
