Praying to the God of M.A.C.

MAC Cosmetics new holiday collections (yes, 7 in all) are INCREDIBLE! From the packaging (silver or gold compacts with royal crown motifs and cream fabric clutch bags with metallic threading) to the products (brush sets, lip sets, eye compacts) to the colors (rich silver and golds, plum, coral, tan and pinks), MAC has totally outdone themselves this year!!!

I just received an ENORMOUS box filled to the brim with the ENTIRE MAC holiday collection... I mean, how lucky am I?!

It's gonna take me awhile to play with all of these amazing products, but in the meantime, check out the collections (click on the name to view the entire collection):

• Antiquitease/ Colour

"She loves silver, she loves gold. Her Holiday indulgences inspired by the ornate excess of antiquity. Shades and finishes worn as gilded treasures. Modern by nature, she flirts with the style and fashion of another time. She's an Antiquitease."

• Royal Assets

"Stately in look, fabulously collectible: our gilded antique-inspired compacts for lips and eyes. With their magnificent assortment of shades and distinctly royal colour waves, who wouldn't regard these as an asset?"

• Heirlooms

"Extol the virtues of the past while staying perfectly au courant - with our Heirlooms brush bags. Each features the antique signature of M·A·C Holiday with a full set of professional brushes. Available in three distinct collections: Face, Eye and Basic."

• Curiousitease

"In the majestic fashion of our holiday Antiquitease collection yet with a style and realm of its own. Handsome in their bearing, these mini colour sets come in a textured cream paper cylinder with gold or silver crown motifs. Inside, all your M·A·C favourites."

• Finery

"Every Antiquitease adores her finery, including this petite purse of woven cream fabric with metallic thread and an ivory crown motif on the handle. Each contains three lipcolours of one colour scheme. Fabulously authentic in look and feel."

• Viva Glamorous

"This season's crowning glory: the VIVA GLAM compacts make their debut in their traditional red this year, embellished with our royal crown icon. Available in Cool and Warm palettes. Every cent of the purchase price goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund."

• Kids Helping Kids

"With the joyous graphics of our young artists featured in a coordinated collection of cards, gift cards and wrapping paper, this is Holiday signed, sealed, ready to send! Each purchase helps support pediatric AIDS organizations around the world."
