Wearing from the MAC Nutcracker Sweet Plum Eye Bag, Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Stormy Pink, Extra Dimension Eye Shadow in Smoky Mauve, False Lashes Mascara, and the Technakohl Liner in Purple Dash. Also wearing NARS Blush in Unwritten on my cheeks and MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Kingdom of Sweets.
These products suffer from an unfortunate name…
Eye Bags.
I keep thinking of my under-eye bags and, like, are these going to make my eye bags looks worse?? Why would I want something called an “eye bag”?
Haha!
OK, I think they meant to say that they’re bags that contain products for your eyes, and not that they’re designed to give you eye bags.
I get it.
There are two of ’em in the MAC Nutcracker Sweet collection — one Smoky, one Plum — and each one comes with a Paint Pot, a Technakohl Liner, an Extra Dimension Eye Shadow and a False Lashe Mascara, and surprise! — they’re all full size. So you get all that stuff and a bag for your eye bag products for $42.50, which is a pretty good price, seeing as how a Paint Pot is normally $22 and an Eye Shadow is $20.

From reading I thought when I first saw both of thse that I was gonna be all about the Smoky because I love smoky looks, but nuh-uh, nuh-uh, the smoky one? Just OK. Plum is where it’s at. Turns out the Smoky one is too frosty for me, the combination of the frosty Paint Pot and then when you put the frosty in Extra Dimension Eye Shadow on top of that, and then the black liner, Graphblack, old-school fave, it’s just too much frost. For me it’s just too shiny, but if you like super shiny, you may like it more.
I like the Plum one’s mix of finishes, like you get the matte base, so you get a little of hte matte peeking through when you pop the shinier Eye Shadow on top so it seems more complex and elegant. It doesn’t just look like a frost fest like the Smoky eye bag.
I keep laughing… Smoky Eye Bag.

As for False Lashes Mascara, I wonder why they called it that, because it made me expect, BAM! — intense curl, length and thickness. Instead, it’s aw-ite. I get a decent amount of thickness and length, but I think the curl hold is lacking.
Personally, I think the Plum one is the prettier, quieter one. I also really like matte Stormy Pink Paint Pot. It’s kind of a purplish mauve-pink, and I can’t wait to get it under Satin Taupe.
