:: christmas 2011 makeup gift sets ::

Christmas is coming soon. Not that I'm celebrating one but it's that time of the year when cosmetics and perfumes come in pretty, limited edition gift sets. It's the perfect time to splurge all the money you have because the sets are usually worth-buying. I envy girls who are celebrating their birthday at the end of the year because they can always ask for one as a prezzie. If nobody is available to buy for them, they also have a concrete reason to spend their money on any set of their choice as a birthday gift for self. It's so unfair! My birthday is in January and the good ones are usually gone by that time *sad face*.

So far I only found info on gift sets from two famous makeup brands but believe that more brands will release theirs in the near future. 

First, let's see what Estee Lauder brings us for Christmas 2011. Last year they had a success by collaborating with Coach so they remain the same strategy and collaborates with a famous American fashion designer, Michael Kors for this year's collection. 

Silver, gold or bronze? You still have time to choose before they hit the counter soon. (I like the gold pouch but not the make up colours).

Another line of christmas gift sets is from a brand with cute vintage packaging, Benefit Cosmetics. Let's start with the perfume, The Crescent Row Set which consists of 10 ml of each scent...



...and followed by the worth buying " I'm Glam Therefore I am" palette set which is jam-packed with four eye shadow shades, a face powder in Glamming, a mini tube of Girl Meets Pearl face highlighter, mini Badgal Lash mascara, Life on the A List lip gloss and a brush. Wow, what else can you ask for but this is not the end...



...because here comes the Ticket to Glossytown set... 

It's a lip gloss set consists of 6 pretty shades in So Frisk Me, Nudie Tude, Spiked Punch, Life on the  List, Kiss You and Foxy Lady. I'm not only in love with the gloss tubes but also the packaging. Too cute to resist!

So now, what say you...Any liking?
