Every year around the holiday season, MAC always releases a huge makeup collection full of limited edition products and gift sets. I really liked the collection they brought out for 2019 and I decided it was time to shop!!
As usual for MAC's Holiday collections the packaging was limited edition. The collection was full of colors perfect for the Holiday season and if sparkly stand out colors is your thing then you would have loved this one.

Gold Sprinkle Of Shine Kit

Kiss Of Stars Lipstick
I really enjoyed the MAC Holiday collection for 2019. My favorites were the eyeshadow palette and the highlighter palette.
I've reviewed quite a few of the gift sets that Makeup Revolution and I Heart Revolution brought out for Christmas 2019. In the sale I also managed to grab the Chocolate Heart Gift Set which has in it - Marshmallow Heart Highlighter, Toffee Apple Blusher Palette, Honey Chocolate Bar Palette and Gingerbread Chocolate Bar Palette.
It's a really nice gift set and has a good choice of products in it. If you love colors you will be spoilt for choice with what you get in this set.
Gingerbread Chocolate Bar Palette
Honey Chocolate Bar Palette
Toffee Apple Blusher Chocolate Bar Palette
Marshmallow Heart Highlighter
I really enjoyed using all of these products. My favorites had to be the Gingerbread Palette and the Marshmallow highlighter.
For Christmas 2019, I Heart Revolution brought out a range of different gift sets. What I like about this brand is how the make the items really cool and novel. I really liked the look of the Vending Machine gift set, which looks exactly like that, a vending machine.
I think it is actually supposed to be an advent calendar for 12 days. On each day you will get a treat. Me being be goes an opens it all in one, yes I know, very naughty of me.
So you are probably wondering what is in this machine. Here goes:
Kabuki brush
Marshmallow blending sponge
Baking powder
Pink lemonade setting spray
3 travel size brushes
Coconut lip gloss
Milk chocolate lip gloss
Salted caramel lip gloss
Mini chocolate marble bronzer palette
Mini ruby chocolate blusher palette
Mini dark chocolate eyeshadow palette
Mini white chocolate eyeshadow palette
Lipglosses
Dark Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette
White Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette
Mini Chocolate Marble Bronzer Palette
Mini Ruby Chocolate Blusher Palette
I really liked the palettes in this set as well as the setting spray. The scent on it is just amazing and it keeps my makeup looking nice all day. I'm not a fan of lipgloss so didn't use any of the ones that came with this set. I didn't think the powder was that great either.
As for the brushes they aren't the best, but definitely not the worst either. I gave the sponge a miss as I prefer to use brushes to apply my makeup.
I got this one in the sale for around £15. They are selling this for full price in Superdrug at the moment for £50. It is no where near worth that amount.
For Christmas, I Heart Revolution brought out a good range of gift sets including the one I have here - the Chocolate Vault 2. Last year the same brand brought out a similar Chocolate Vault set, so this is why the one for 2019 is called number 2.
Ok so you are probably wondering what is in this set. You do actually get a nice choice of products and if like me you are a fan of I Heart Revolution's Chocolate Bar palettes this will be right up your street.
In this gift set you get:
5 Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palettes -
Chocolate Orange
Mint Chocolate
White Chocolate
Fruit And Nut
Cookies And Cream
Chocolate Bar Blusher Palette -
Marshmallow
Mini Chocolate Face Palettes
Gold Elixir
Milk Chocolate
Three lipglosses
Mint Chocolate
Chocolate Orange
White Chocolate
Fruit And Nut
Cookies And Cream
Marshmallow Blusher Palette
Mini Face Palettes - Gold Elixir and Milk Chocolate
Gold Elixir is the highlight palette and Milk Chocolate is more of a contour one, although you could use the highlight in it too if you wanted more of a matte finish. Out of the two I preferred Gold Elixir as I loved the highlight in it.
This set also came with three lipglosses. I haven't used them yet as I'm not a fan of lipgloss.
Overall this is a really nice gift set. It was originally priced at around £65 but I got it for £20 when it was in the sale. Bargain!!
