Here's the last installment of my series of written reviews on the MAC Holiday gift sets, but I will be posting a video review of these holiday items, so watch out for that!
In the meantime, this post is all about MAC All For Glamour, which is part of the MAC Holiday 2012 Fabulousness sub-group. The come in these really neat tufted pillow-soft cases that are super girly and the bows add to the syrupy sweet theme of this collection. I have the All for Glamour Face Kit and a Touch Up Kit in Medium Dark.
Let's start with the MAC Touch Up Kit in Medium Dark.
MAC Touch Up Kit in Medium Dark
When you open the compact, there is a cute powder puff and protected by a stiff plastic film is the Medium Dark Blot Powder.
I don't know if you can see the Medium Dark blot powder, but it literally disappears into my skin, which I think is a good idea because if this is a retouch powder, you'd want it to be sheer and natural instead of opaque and cakey. I love Bare Again Sheen Supreme lipstick, described as a pinky neutral beige but it has more peachy tones to me. As many of you know, the Sheen Supreme is the new Slimshine lipstick, a super creamy formula from MAC that has tons of luscious shine. It is very soft though, so don't leave this in the car on a hot day! It will be a disaster.
Let's go to the All for Glamour Face Kit!

The All for Glamour face kit has your essentials when you need a quick touch up or a travel palette. However, I think the only thing missing is the blush because you already have your bronzer in it, although the bronzer can double as a blush too. Golden Bronzing Powder is a golden muted tan-beige with shimmer. As for the shadows, again, Shadowy Lady is here; I get that it's a nice matte crease and liner color, but I already have it in the MAC holiday kit called Eye Look Bag in Decandently Pink. The Romance Me shadow is pretty, a warm plum with gold pearl. Although it's a lustre, it is smooth and pigmented. Not too fond of Hearts-a-Flutter as it was not that pigmented when I swatched it, but it might turn out better when applied with a tacky shadow base.
The lipsticks are covered in protective plastic which I appreciate because I don't like lip products all over the palette, especially one with a fabric cover like this one. Barely Lit is from a 2007 MAC collection that escapes me at the moment, but it was one of my favorites. It is a neutral pink with gold pearl. Headturner lipstick is described as a mid-tone cool cream plum in the creamsheen formula.
All in all, these are nice gifts that are great for travel or to put in one's purse for quick touch ups The All for Glamour Face Kit retails for $49.50 U.S./59.50 CDN, and the Touch Up Kit retails for $39.50 U.S./47.50 CDN.
