The three sets are: Sweet Essential Brush Kit , containing three brushes for the face and eyes; the Sweet Mineralize Brush Kit contains five Duo-Fibre brushes for eyes and a blusher; Sweet Basic Brush Set con- tains five brushes for foundation, blusher, eyes and a lip brush, while the Sweet Contour Brush Set , which is available only in MAC Stores and online, comes complete with five brushes for contouring, foundation, blending and a lash brush. The Nutcracker Sweet Collection would not be complete without the S WEET VIVA GLAM LIP SET available in two shades of SWEET VIVA GLAMOR- OUS containing a Viva Glam ARIANA GRANDE Lipstick in dark plum matte and Lipglass in shimmer pink, and SWEET VIVA GLAM LIP COMPACT in a set of three shades of Viva Glam I in a matte brown/red; Viva Glam II in a shimmery pink/beige; and Viva Glam VI in a lustre terracotta plum lipstick shade. The next part of the Nutcracker Sweet collection are specific set kits dedicated more to lips, gloss, pigments and bron- zers.Those sets are among my favourite as they are perfect to build up a make-up kit and also are fab for stock fillers. Nutcracker Sweet Nude And Sweet Red Lipstick Kits These two sets of lipstick kits have four amazing shades from the nude and red ranges. The SWEET NUDE KIT has a combination of matte and sheen shades from rose inWhirl, neutral pink in Kinda Sexy and blue-pink in Crème Cup, while the SWEET RED KIT which also has a combination of matte and sheen reds, contains bright vivid red in Lady Danger, burgundy red in Diva, and bright bluish red in MAC Red . Nutcracker Sweet Nude And Sweet Red Lip Gloss Kits Both kits have a combination of four lip glosses each in nude shades, from beige to coral nude and copper shimmer, and red shades from violet-pink, cherry red to berry red. Both sets are great to mix and match with any of your favourite lip- sticks or the Sweet Lipstick Kit . Nutcracker Sweet Gold Pigment And Glitter Kit These are the ones that I wait impatiently for every year: a combination of minia- ture loose pigment eye shadows and glitter. This year, there are four shades, from brown plum glitter in Heritage Rouge and sparkling ward red in Reflect Rust, to light champagne pigment in English Gilt, and sparkling glitter in Gold. Nutcracker Sweet Bronze Pigment And Glitter Kit This set, like its Sweet Gold Pigment and Glitter Kit companions, combines pig- ments and glitter from the bronze range, offering a combination of three loose pigment shadows of pale peach in Sugar Rush, metallic nude peach in Stardream, and bronze in Handsome Prince with a lovely shade of copper glitter in Reigning Riches to match them all.
