When Nordstrom opened up their Anniversary Sale to Early Access last week, I immediately ordered the 3 palettes I was most interested in, 2 from MAC and 1 from Bobbi Brown. I’ll be reviewing all of them this week, and I have to say that you really can not go wrong with any of the three palettes. They are all good.
First up is the one I was most interested in based upon pictures on the Nordstrom website, the M·A·C Look in a Box in Style Maven Face Kit.
I think what was most interesting about this palette is how different the products are swatched from in the palette. Things that look pinker in the palette, are more peachy-tan. Purples become darker. I do still like the colors, but it wasn’t exactly what I expected.
