The Ultimate guide to Holiday 2018 makeup collections!

No more beating around the bush! Let's check out these mouthwatering holiday makeup collections by some of the best brands for 2018!

MAC SHINY PRETTY THINGS MAKEUP COLLECTION

As the name of the collection implies, this may be MAC's shiniest collection to date in terms of packaging; irresistible silver- toned, jewel- like compacts featuring an embossed highlighter, jewel eyeshadow tones in metallic and matte finishes, and limited edition shades of their iconic lipstick and lipglass. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter apparently promises 10 hours of solid wear. There's also a mini lipstick vault featuring 10 of MAC's best- selling shades, plus eye and brush sets,, and pigment and glitter sets are rumored to follow.

NARS HOLIDAY 2018

NARS goes bold and edgy (and maybe a little Kat Von D-ish) with their Holiday 2018 collection. The collection features two categories: sets and limited edition singles. One of the sets is the Little Fetishes Limited Edition lipstick and blush/highlighter set.

 The rest of the sets are for the lip, like this Velvet Matte Lip Pencil set; other lip sets feature the Audacious lipstick and Defiant Lip Gloss sets.

As for the individual, limited edition pieces, we have eyeshadow palettes like this, Provocateur Eyeshadow Palette.

There's also the lust- worthy Hot Tryst cheek palette, which is a good upgrade (in terms of look) of the Wanted blush palettes, but the shades are completely different as this is limited edition. The last palette is a bronzer, highlighter, and blush palette that also comes in Nars' edgy, can't miss LE palette design.

BENEFIT COSMETICS HOLIDAY 2018

Benefit has always been killing it in the holiday makeup collection category and 2018 is no different. It's a celebration of beauty, cuteness, and the holiday cheer with Benefit's holiday 2018 collection.

The collection has three categories: family bundles, collections, and holiday minis.

The family bundles are the makeup and skin care sets in cake- inspired box.

The collections are a set of minis and full- sized products that come with their own unique quirk and extras like the pouch of Sweeten Up Buttercup and collectible tin of Homemade Hotness.

Finally, for the holiday minis, Benefit's best selling minis are conveniently packed in a holiday box that's ready to serve as a stocking stuffer or tree surprise.

TOO FACED HOLIDAY 2018

Too Faced wants us to have a Peach Christmas with a full- blown, holiday collection inspired by their best- selling collection, Sweet Peach.

The collection includes pocketable eyeshadow palettes, Better Than Sex Mascara minis, Peach- scented body powder/shimmer, and a mega face and eye palette.

ESTĒE LAUDER HOLIDAY 2018 SETS AND GIFTS

Estēe Lauder bundles up their best- selling skin care sets once more for the holidays; full and mini- sized skin care were bundled together, making the perfect holiday skin care gift.

EL's international also offers fancy gifts for discerning recipients, such as this precious carousel perfume compact. Hopefully, we'll get to see this in the Philippines.

When you shop on the website as well, you can purchase this 31- pc. set for $68 only when you purchase a minimum of $45; the deal also includes a full- sized Advanced Night Repair Serum.; what a steal! I don't know if this promo is available locally, but there is a similar one available in our local EL counters; hopefully, this promotion will reach our shores, just in time for the holidays!

TARTE HOLIDAY IN PARADISE 2018
