Winter 2008 Collections Wrap-up

Year: 2008 Launches
Christine |

What were your favorite winter collections this year? Which ones did you skip, which ones did you end up with everything?

You know what I noticed?  Most brands don’t have winter collections–they only bother with releasing holiday collections, gift sets, and/or palettes or some combination thereof.  MAC dominates the winter ’08 season with its non-holiday releases!

Chill
Dame Edna
Red She Said
Little Darlings (even though it was a holiday collection)
and dunno if it counts as a winter one, but
Brunette, Blonde, Redhead
I’m really looking forward to some of the colors from it.

I figured Brunette, Blonde, Redhead is a spring launch. I know cosmetics tends to start releasing spring stuff in January/February. Besides, the collection *feels* more suited for spring than winter (like Chill), you know what I mean?

I can’t wait for BBR, though! What do you want from it?

Mostly I want
Chignon Lipstick
B-Babe Lipstick
All’s Fair Lipstick
Quick Tease Lipglass
Strawberry Blonde Lipglass
There are a couple other things I want, but I probably won’t end up getting them.

Yeah, at first I mostly bought just eyeshadow and stuff like that, so I have a bunch of colors for that, but not a lot of lip colors, so I decided I need some. I’m currently waiting for 2 palettes to come in. I ordered Infatuating Rose palette and Manish Arora palette on ebay. So I’m really excited, especially to finally be getting Goin Bananas.

I got a blush from Chanel and a few items from the Clinique Blackberry Bloom collection. The Dame Edna collection hasn’t arrived to the UK yet, but I’ll probably pick up one or two things from it.

I didn’t love the holiday collections this year.

I liked Chill more than I thought I would. I love that penultimate liner.

I passed on Dame Fredna.

Looking forward to Blonde Brunette Redhead!
