Everyone knows that no Christmas look is complete without a bold red lip, fluttery lashes, and a shimmery lid. You’ll be pleased to know that the MAC Cosmetics Winter Wonderglam Look In A Box gives them all three. In this box they’ll find everything they need to create the classic Christmas glam including the perfect blue-tone red lipstick, a matching red lip liner, a sparkly cream eyeshadow, and a volumising mascara.
