Since Magie Deco was launched in fall 2007, it has been releasing lovely makeup coffrets for the holiday seasons. This year, Magie Deco Coffret IV includes a beautiful eyeshadow palette, with plum, light dusky pink, and light cool lilac. I like the eye palette for holiday 2009, but I think this year’s is even prettier.

(See the 2007 coffret here and the 2008 one here, and have a look at photos of the 2010 coffret on Autumn Masquerade.)

Maquillage’s holiday 2010 makeup collection celebrates the line’s 5th anniversary. The Powder Celebration set includes a 7-shade loose powder (pictured above and below) and a pressed powder. The loose powder is certainly a one-off creation that we don’t see every year.

NARS’ holiday 2010 makeup collection has got some of my favorite makeup colors: violet, lilac, gold, beige and cool pink. Also, I like the look (and the name) of Trio Eye Shadow in Okinawa, even though the colors might not necessarily work particularly well for me.
