Carey’s wildly successful first holiday collection with the popular makeup line included gems like a [frosted champagne nude lipstick appropriately named “All I Want,”](http://www.xojane.com/beauty/mariah-carey-mac-lipstick) so this holiday collection might also feature products that riff on the Elusive Chanteuse’s impressive songbook. Both Carey and MAC took to their social media accounts to announce the collection with an image of Carey that’s nothing less than fabulous. In the promotional image, she reclines on a leather chaise lounge clad in a bodysuit, both of which are basically dripping in rhinestones and sparkles. The collection is dropping on Dec. 8 online and in-stores Dec. 15 – 26 and will include glitter encrusted makeup brushes, five shades of lip stick, lip glosses, blushes, false eyelashes, eyeliner, body glitter, and of course, highlighter so you can glow just like Mimi. See Carey and MAC’s posts about the collection below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4571979/mariah-carey-mac/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4571979/mariah-carey-mac/"},"headline":"Mariah Carey's New MAC Holiday Collection Is Just As Glittery As You Think It Would Be","datePublished":"2016-11-15T20:23:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:42.203Z","description":"Here's how to shine like the elusive chanteuse","url":"https://time.com/4571979/mariah-carey-mac/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","beauty","fashion","celebrity","Culture","Mariah Carey"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4571979/mariah-carey-mac/","name":"Mariah Carey's New MAC Holiday Collection Is Just As Glittery As You Think It Would Be"}}]}] ```
