I picked up three of the lipsticks released from MAC 2025 Holiday Collection. The whole collection is pretty big? They have a lot of cute trendy lip combo kits. I also love the mini lustreglass lip packs. SO much to choose from to pick up some gifts for your loved one.

The packaging is so dazzling. The lipstick case is glittery powder blue. It reminds me of a snowy landscape, perfect for the winter time! It also reminds me of Cinderella, and phosphophyllite … I could go on and on!

The shades I am trying on are:

• Future Beige
• Unexpected Red
• Pinklist

We have GOT to talk about the shape of the lipstick. I love it so much, it’s eye catching and reminds me of a crystal! I totally had had a phase in college where I was buying a lot of crystals lol. I just had to mention that, it’s a little nostalgic. I will say that it I am worried it may be more prone to breaking though (ummm…. well spoiler alert I dropped one of them while filming my swatches for my youtube video….)

Starting off with future beige. A creamy neutral beige that looks a bit warmer on my skin when I put it on.

I love this shade, it’s a great neutral color that is great for your everyday makeup look. It can be hard to choose the right nude lip color, I think that this will be easy to pair with your favorite lip liner. It is also so moisturizing my lips are gleaming when I wear it!

This color is gorgeous!!! It’s like a smoky, plummy- raspberry jam. Yum… I think I need to stop writing my blog when I am hungry… Haha but you get the point!

Gosh, I love her…. Sexy and totally giving fall and winter to me. I think it’s my favorite out of all three. I think she has sellout potential!!

This was the shade that was standing out the most. I am not disappointed at all with how it looks. Definitely eye catching and NOT streaky!! It’s like I swiped on a gel nail polish. You know what I mean? Kinda random, I know. This color delivery is amazing with just one swipe. I really wish I could work it into my lipstick rotation. It’s gorgeous and punchy – butttttt ….Just not my style. I actually have the right person in mind to gift this to.

She’s the kind of gal that rocks a blood orange, neon peach or bright red lip. I think wearing a lip liner with this will help with damage control (accidentally getting it on your face). I would love to see more people try this color to compare how it would look on different skin tones and undertones. I love seeing people’s signature lipstick color. Some people are bright red, some muted pink, other love a black lip color.

If you’ve tried these, did any shade pull too cool/too warm on you?

Do you prefer last year’s MAC holiday packaging or 2025’s?
