MAC Viva Glam compacts

This little product is fantastic for the holiday season, not least of all because red lips are the accessory to be seen in this season. The nicely baroque compact is pretty in and of itself and MAC was wise enough to create two palettes -- a warm and a cool one (with reds it's especially important to get that right or you might end up looking garish). And, every single penny of the sale price goes to the MAC Aids foundation. Not just a sliver of it... ALL. OF. IT.

Another compact of reds we like, and think merits a mention here, is the 3 Custom Color Specialists A Century in Red lip palette which has 10 different reds to represent each of the decades. We bring it everywhere.
