What were YOUR favorites from the holiday launches? Which collections did you buy from?  Which ones were totally not interesting?

I found myself getting things from… Benefit, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Clinique, Dior, Givenchy, Guerlain, Jouer, Laura Mercier, Lush, MAC, NARS, Prescriptives, Sue Devitt, and Urban Decay.  WHEW!  I didn’t even realize how much holiday loot I ended up with this year!  Hopefully a few of you had a plentiful holiday collection haulin’ so I won’t feel so alone 😉
