They are perfect for traveling or just tossing into your handbag. All you need to create the looks desired are within the palette!

The 2013 Holiday Collection is available now, online at www.emcosmetics.com and in the em michelle phan flagship store at 223 Mulberry Street once opened in December. The holiday collection will be available up until January 1st, so get them while you can!

I have stopped by the store several times and it’s coming along, getting ready for all of us fans to shop! It will certainly be my makeup destination, as everyone knows what a fan I am of Michelle‘s already.

Makeup Review, Swatches: em Michelle Phan Cosmetics Holiday 2013 Winter Life: Ice Bunny Edition Palette - How To Get A Contoured Face, Bright-Eyed Winter LookI took the contour page from my beloved Kevyn Aucoin book, Face Forward, and used Michelle‘s Chiaoscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick ($25.00 each; available in 4 shades) in Light to create more of a jawline, cheekbone and overall festive look for my Winter Life Ice Bunny Edition look!

Just this past Halloween, she inspired me to do my Day of the Dead look and today, I actually used her Chiaoscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick. I both contoured and highlighted my face to which two different people asked me if I had lost weight! The power of contouring is now going to be something I would like to master.

Although I have a BFA in sculpture, I am not an MUA, so I love her tutorials as they translate well for me — like how an artist uses a canvas, this makeup junkie uses her face as one, too!

I interpreted the Winter Life Ice Bunny Edition look in my own way to better suit my personal style, and I absolutely loved the color payoff and the practicality of these compacts. All you need is within the compact; you don’t need to carry around separate items. I find this very appealing, don’t you?

Which look will you be creating this holiday season? Are you a cool snow bunny or warm New Year’s Eve party kind of gal?
