I was so excited to purchase some of MAC's Holiday sets this year, because previous years I had waited too long. So this year, I made a vow that it was going to be different. I headed to the store weeks before it would be available, checked it out, made my list and pre-ordered it. I was so proud of myself! I am not going to go into the details of the entire "Stroke of Midnight" collection, because that all can be found on MAC's website in it's full glory. I am going to show you what I bought, what is included from MAC, and why I chose these kits from the whole collection.
Stoke of Midnight Eye Bag - "Gold"
 |
| The Double Ended Brush in this set has a mini 239!! |
Includes: In Extreme Dimension Lash, Fluidline in Blitz & Glitz, Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure and the Double-Ended 209 Eye Liner/239SE Eye Shader Brush. Limited-edition black Stroke of Midnight bag features a chic graphic white pattern, elegantly edged with gold piping.
The Eye Bag Comes in Nude, Gold and Violet.
I bought this eye bag in Gold because the Nude bag was lovely, but a bit too nude for me. The paint pot in the Nude bag is much more Nude in person. Don't get me wrong, the nude bag is lovely and would make a great addition to your collection or as a gift. I plan on wearing these colors to Holiday events, so I was looking for something with a little "Holiday Vibe" to it. So I chose the Gold bag for a little more Holiday Jazz. I did not choose the Violet bag, because I can have allergic reactions to purple due to the red dye used to make it. The Violet bag was so beautiful that it would have been a shame to go to waste.

Stroke of Midnight Lip Bag - Violet
 |
| I love how the makeup packaging matches the Bag that comes with each set! |
Includes: Sumptuous shades of Cremesheen Glass in Art of Seduction, Lipstick in Dark Deed and Lip Pencil in Vino. Limited-edition black Stroke of Midnight bag features a chic graphic white pattern, elegantly edged with gold piping.
This Lip Bag comes in Nude and Violet.
I chose the Violet bag because once again I was looking for colors with a little more pop for the holidays. The nude lip bag was very tempting, since nude shades are my favorite. I was sold on the Violet bag since I cannot wear the shade often on my eyes and the Cremesheen Lip Glass that comes with it has a very nude tone to it. So it was like I got a pop of color with the lipstick and a nude with the lip glass by choosing the Violet. The lip pencil that comes with it matches the lipstick perfectly!

Stoke of Midnight Brush Kit - Essentials
Achieve flawless skin with professional results. Includes 168SE Large Angled Contour Brush, 217SE Blending Brush, 212SE Flat Definer Brush, 239SE Eye Shader Brush and 193SE Angled Foundation Brush. Limited-edition black Stroke of Midnight bag features a chic graphic white pattern, elegantly edged with gold piping.
The Brush Kit comes in Mineralize, Essentials or Smokey.
I chose the Essentials brush kit because it made sense for many reasons. I like the brushes the best that came in this kit due to the variety and the fact that I think they would used the most. This kit contains three of my favorite MAC brushes. I plan on using this kit when traveling, so it will be perfect considering I use those brushes a lot. These brushes in a smaller version make them perfect for traveling with the included matching bag. I was very tempted by the Mineralize kit for its face and eye brushes. It contains a smaller 187 (another one of my favorites) and I love it. The Smokey kit was amazing as well, it has just the right brushes to create the perfect smokey eye. I wish I could have bought them all!

Final Thoughts:
I think these Eye, Lip and Brush Kits are perfect! They would be perfect for you or to give as a gift for the up and coming holiday season. There is also so much more to the Stroke of Midnight Collection that can be bought on MAC's website such as Lip and Cheek Bags, Eye Kits, Face Palettes and so much more. I hope you enjoyed this post and a little bit of the Stoke of Midnight Collection.
Thanks,
