MAC Holiday Nutcracker Collection 2016 - Whisper of Gilt is finally back!

Whisper of Gilt is probably MAC's most heard of buzz phrase in their headquarters, with many people demanding for it to come back since its official release in the Extra Dimension collection back in 2012. I didn't get my hands on it when it first came out because I didn't live up to the hype but when it started to become more and more desired, I started to want it. There have been a few dupes that have come round since the release of MAC Whisper of Gilt - Laura Geller Baked Illuminator in Gilded Honey and Kiko Water Shadow in 208 - both of which I own but very rarely pick up.

Laura Geller Gilded Honey Illuminator & KIKO 208 Water Eyeshadow: Dupes for MAC Whisper of Gilt?

Are they a dupe of the famous MAC Whisper of Gilt highlighter? I don't actually own the MAC Whisper of Gilt highlighter but I have a good idea in my mind what it looks like, but there are many swatches on Google. Although I am not crazy enough to spend over £100 on eBay for the product, I am partial to dupes - especially if they are at a good price. This is where Laura Geller Gilded Honey and KIKO 208 Water Eyeshadow comes in. 

KIKO Cosmetics Haul

I'm in love. A new KIKO cosmetics store opened up in my local area and I immediately rushed as soon as I could to check it all out. The store is obviously doing well since a lot of products had been swatched and they were sold out of products already. As always, overtime I go to a KIKO store, I always end up spending way more than I think I do because of the inexpensive prices of the products that my basket starts getting filled with more and more stuff...

The lip liners are phenomenal quality and I can't wait to pick up some more and the matte lipstick is the least drying formula I have experienced to date, it's actually quite hydrating. The quality of these products are way more than what you'd expect from higher-end brands, and you can't fault on the prices. I will definitely be going back for more stuff but for now, here is my little haul...and certainly not my last.
