Lovelies, Maybelline is launching their first holiday makeup kits evah next week. Available in two colour palettes, one warm and one cool, these little eye-cheek-and-lip compacts should be hella popular with Maybelline fans. Let's have a quick look.

The two compacts each contain four co-ordinated powder eye shadows, an eye pencil in Onyx, lip colour, highlighter or bronzer, and powder blush. The Maybelline Holiday Kit in Gilded Gold ($19.99 at Canadian drugstores and $14.99 at ulta.com) includes nude, gold and bronze eye shades, deep apricot blush, bronzer and red lipstick. 

The Maybelline Holiday Kit in Up in Smoke ($19.99 at Canadian drugstores and $14.99 at ulta.com) is a cool-toned palette, with four shadows ranging from white and silver to black, a pink powder blush, neutral highlighter and pink lipstick.

November 17th is the Canadian on-shelf date. They're already out in the US.

For easy reference, here are a couple of makeup how-to links that may provide inspiration if you happen to pick one or both of these compacts up:
