Holiday 2012: Anastasia Holiday Makeup Sets.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has two holiday sets for giving (or keeping) this year. One set is focused on the eyes and one set is focused on the lips. Both are beautiful.

Want You To Want Me ($34.00) is for the eyes. It is a kit within a super lux looking klutch type of package. Inside is a removable Eye Shadow Palette with 9 neutral (meaning wearable by all), a Mini Clear Brow Gel and a Jet Black Liquid Eye Liner.

The eye shadows are long-wearing, and are velvety smooth. The palette contains both matte and shimmery shadows and can create a range of looks. An unexpected thing with Anastasia's shadows, are that they are created to be used wet or dry. You can use the same shadows dry for day, then dampen your brush and apply them wet at night. Talk about turning up the WOW, as shimmers are turned almost metallic.

The shadows:

• Platform Wedge
• Members Only
• Graphic T's
• Iron on
• Front Row Center
• Ziggy
• Brass in Pocket
• Power Ballad
• Jellies

Kisses On My List Volume 2 ($30.00) is a set of six high-shine lip glosses in beautifully natural shades.

The set includes three opalescent glosses along with three new Hypercolor Glosses that actually stain the lips as it adds a glossy finish too. They feel very cushiony on the lips.

The colors:

• Jolene
• Moi
• Maggie May
• Roxanne
• Lola
• Sharona
