Ever a delightful display of decadence, the BY TERRY Holiday 2017 Collection has arrived at Beautylish (just in time for the Gift Card Event–get a $20 gift card for every $100 spent) and I am over the moon to share swatches of every product in the lineup.

Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the collection in action as well as the Bottom Line…

| BY TERRY Preciosity Baume de Rose Trio Gift Set |
The By Terry Holiday Collection 2017 with Swatches of Positively Everything!
For skincare lovers who adore the signature rose scent of the BY TERRY line, the *BY TERRY Preciosity Baume de Rose Trio Gift Set is necessary indulgence. The set includes a nourishing face cream, plush hand cream and Baume de Rose Lip Care (the accompanying wand is my favorite way to apply BdR), all infused with Terry’s iconic rose essence.
Also pictured is the mini Baume de Rose housed in the ornament (shown at the end of this post). It’s the perfect way to show trim the tree and dress your lips!

For the Eyes
For eyes that are bathed in neutrals that wear like a dream, the *BY TERRY Preciosity Eye Designer Palette Parti-Pris & Eyeshadow Brush is the quintessential answer. Featuring six shades–in a mix of matte and satin finishes–that harmoniously blend together for endless customization, this slender palette fits into even the most diminutive makeup bag. The hues are finely milled with lavish color payoff and creaseless performance, making this invaluable in one’s day-to-day routine.
Additionally, the dual-ended brush has a fluffy blending side as well as a stiff angled component for precise application, further heightening the value of this impeccable release.

| *BY TERRY Preciosity Ombre Blackstar Gift Set |
BY TERRY Preciosity Ombre Blackstar Gift Set
Although the shades are a part of the permanent collection (and are amongst my very favorite hues in this formula, I might add), this $95 *BY TERRY Preciosity Ombre Blackstar Gift Set is unique in its value (if the Blackstars were purchased separately, they would cost $132). I have been writing about the Ombre Blackstar formula since the beginning of Beauty Professor (nearly 7 years ago) and firmly believe that there is still nothing quite like it on the market.
With massively silky color payoff and a truly indelible finish (once set, this does. not. budge.), the subtle glimmer of the shadow stick flatters a spectrum of skin types (my mom and have have probably gone through at least 12 Bronze Moons over the years), making it the ultimate makeup bag addition.
Blonde Opal is a gorgeous gold-meets-platinum shade that works well as a transition shade and also a brow highlight, Bronze Moon has amassed a near cult-status following at this point, blessing one’s lids with a wash of neutral bronze burnish and Misty Rock is a luminous mauve that is ever so apropos for fall.
One simply cannot go wrong with Ombre Blackstars and this set is an excellent way to experience them!

For the Face
For a face that beams with an incandescent glow, the *BY TERRY Preciosity Flash Light Dual Compact and *BY TERRY Preciosity Flash Light Elixir are a potent pair of epic proportions! Harnessing the power of “D Light,” perfecting prisms work to banish shadows, flaws and visible pores by bathing skin in ultra-flattering light.
The *BY TERRY Preciosity Flash Light Dual Compact features two concentric rings of finely milled powder; the amber and rose tones work to color correct while imparting a resplendent glow that brings one’s complexion to life. Consider it a masterful finishing powder with impressive highlighting capabilities.
For those who prefer a liquid, the *BY TERRY Preciosity Flash Light Elixir presents skin with a luminous pink formula that can be worn alone (to revitalize and illuminate) or over makeup (for additional glow). Because of its fluid texture, it can also be mixed into foundation for an extra radiant effect.
Personally, both of these limited-edition formulas are clear standouts for me, due to their inherent beauty and ease of wear; I know I’ll be reaching for both long after the holidays are over!

| *BY TERRY Preciosity Velvet Rouge Gift Set |
For the Lips
Finally, give your lips a luxurious cloak of color with the *BY TERRY Preciosity Velvet Rouge Gift Set. The three shades capture a triad of classic holiday hues that a spectrum of skin tones will enjoy. Cappuccino Pause is rich mauve brown with enough neutrality to classify as a deep nude, Bohemian Plum is an intense and vampy aubergine and My Red is a timeless carmine tone with plenty of opacity.
As one might ascertain from the single-pass swatches below the Velvet Rouge formula has magnificent color payoff and a creamy finish that truly feels like velvet. It’s hydrating and long wearing while feeing comfortable for hours on end.
For reference I am wearing both Cappuccino Pause and My Red in the images at the end of this post!
