I did'nt know where to post this....=(
I got the new holiday face brush set and I am kinda bummed because they are not as nice as I was expecting for the 50.00 price tag.
The 187 (correct # for the skunk brush right?) was the biggest disappointment followed after the white slanted blush brush (#?).
I found them to be stiff and cheaply made, ESP.the 187. Where is the softness and quality MAC???
It was a gamble purchasing them because the salesgirl had to samples for me to feel them first. Alas....they suck.
I all ready have every brush in the set except for the slanted white blush brush. I am pondering taking them back and just getting the full sizes of 187 (for a backup) and the blush one.

I've heard that the SE brushes really aren't that great. So instead I just bought the full size 187 too.

Yeah I am not happy with the holiday face brush set at all.
The bag it comes in is so cute and I love the short glossy black handles.
However the brush fiber/hair quality are sub par.
I hope I don't have a problem returning them because they are brand new.

hi everyone!

Its my first post here, see people are asking about Intense pallate. I just got it today so took some pics. But I only have cell phone to take pics so the quality is not very good. You get to see colors though You can see the pic clearly in the one with flash, but the color is more true in the no flash one. Hopefully someone else will have better picture later. Enjoy!

oh and feel free with any comments and questions

I bought the Smoked eye palette this weekend, and it's the last one I ever imagined I'd buy. However, seeing it in person really cinched the deal. Pictures don't do it justice!

^ yea I bought the smoked pallette today, I love the colors.

I was contemplating whether or not to buy the brush set's but didn't bother and after reading from those of you who bought them I'm glad I didn't. I just ordred the Pret-a-Porter instead.

EmbalmerBabe If you are not happy with brushes then you should take them back hun and just get the full size.

Does anyone know what the green in the Intense palette is called? Is/was it available as a single e/s? Or if anyone knows of a dupe, that would help too.

I'm also wondering the same thing about the two shades that are in the middle of the Pink lip palette.

Thanks!

Thank you, Rainbow! I guess I don't need the whole palette then if I have Chatreuse pigment. I'll swatch them next to each other next time I go to the counter.
