Holiday Palettes 2016

There’s no time like the holiday season to scoop up a few new palettes. It seems like every brand releases numerous limited edition sets to tempt us with. Palettes are the perfect beauty gift as it offers endless colour options and already comes beautifully packaged. Anything from your basic nudes to metallic to bold and brights, palettes have it all. Usually also offered in an array of shimmers, mattes and satin finishes. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a friend, holiday palettes are where its at. Brands usually offer them at a lower price point than if you purchased each product individually. They also usually toss in a few mini products of their best-selling products, so you’re able to test out these must-have items before purchasing the full-size. It’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with new and innovated products. I’ve rounded up some of my favourite holiday sets of the season, which include individual palettes, gift sets, kits and more.
