Along with the A Tartan Tale colour collection, M.A.C. had come out with its annual collection of holiday gifts. And this year they're all about the tartan (squee!)! This is no preppy plaid, this is vibrant tartan packaging inspired by Scotland and rock & roll.
Peekaboo! Poking a little fun at the kinky part of the kilt, these incorrigible kits for Lips, Eyes and Face have some flasher fun with mirrored compacts, but remain dignified with proper M∙A∙C family crests. New giftables that prove to be seductive, cheeky, good fun, including 6 Dashing Lassie Eye Shadows,
6 Beauties Play It Cool Eye Shadows, 6 Twists of Tartan Eye Shadows, 6 Reelers & Rockers Eye Shadows, Happily Ever After and A Fabulous Fantasy Lip Kits, plus A Triumphant Blush and Hark The Heraldry Face Kits.
