Okay so I know it's not Christmas season yet and I'm a little annoyed that people are already putting up Christmas decorations in my neighborhood but if you're like me and you like to get your holiday shopping done before all of the stores sell out, this collection comes right on time.
The set came in a small felt stocking with a rolled up picture of the collection logo. On the reverse side is a poem parodied after "Twas the Night Before Christmas" with a makeup theme. Overall, super cute.
One thing that I like about this collection is that it doesn't scream Christmas, but instead suggests it in a soft way. Sure it has the standard red and green of the holiday but they're not the standard bold incarnations.
This set is technically 8 eyeshadows and one blush. Cheeks Like Roses is a one of Darling Girl Cosmetic's DuoChrome blushes but it can also be used as an eyeshadow.
