M.A.C have really outdone themselves with this one. The Holiday 2012 release from M.A.C Cosmetics is possibly the prettiest make-up compact I’ve ever seen; a bow-clasped purse with real satin quilting that opens to reveal one of three colourways in five eyeshadow shades, and going by the name ‘Fabulousness’.

I think that limited edition packaging is always quite special, even if you think you already have the colours within, and this limited edition packaging blows the others away. This is form over function; you want to display this on your bedroom dresser for its complete lusciousness despite the fact you have plenty of eyeshadows already. Dang, I would carry it around with me!

The three eyeshadow compacts have either Neutral Eyes, Warm Eyes or Smoky Eyes, with each retailing for $96. You lift the black plastic bow to see a mirror inside with five shadows in satin, velvet, lustre, and frost finishes for buildable intensity in highly-pigmented colour.

Below: I was beyond excited when this M.A.C delivery came with leopard print tissue paper peeping out from a pink and black bag. What could possibly be inside?

Black bow topped cupcakes in gelato shades to match the compact. Amazing.
