The MAC keepsakes Eyes palette in beige Eyes
Just in case you’ve started trying to find pretty eyeshadow palettes to stuff into stockings.

Every year MAC gets into the seasonal holiday collection spirit by releasing a number of limited edition eye palettes, face palettes, makeup kits and sets, normally with an overarching theme and special packaging.

MAINOS

This year’s theme: keepsakes.

Each of the three keepsakes Eyes palettes — Beige, Smoky and Plum — house eight powder eyeshadows in a mix of re-promoted and brand new shades, and they’re all pertaining to the MAC web site starting October 19, then to North American MAC stores and counters October 23 through December 18, and to all international locations sometime in November.

Isn’t the packaging pretty? I like it, but I’m a little anxious about the plastic pearl fringing around the edge… It has a little wiggle to it, and I’m terrified it might break.
