Usually not with the holiday collection. We get fall trend bags seperately sometimes.

There will probably the bags with the brush and lipstick sets though.

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

yes, plus sometimes if you just want the bag and not the brush set some people on specktra will sell you just the bag! that's what i did last year because i didn't need any brushes or lip sets but loved the bag the brushes came in

Check out Coach's tartan Poppy line.....lots of cute stuff and really nice colour combos like black, hot pink, and purple tartan patterns! But too bad they never did a cosmetics bag for that line.

I hear that. Too bad I eat so many of the mini goodies that the total amount ingested corresponds to at least one maxi muffin, cookie or chocolate!

Oh, but those are the best minis of all! Unlike the mini salary, which unfortunately is much more common.

I just purchased a Vivienne Westwood Tartan messanger bag from the Selfridges sale in lieu of my Tartan Tale goodies. I'm getting in the mood already!

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

I wish I could have a bag like that but I couldn't afford it!
I'll stick to my Paul's Boutique bags for now

I hope this collection is really interesting and pretty, lots of old hollywood with a twist glamour would fit nicely

I hope so too - I adore glamour and the vibrancy of Scotland.

Oh and I love Paul's Boutique stuff too but some styles look cooler on the younger ladies (such as yourself) IMHO so I feel I can only admire the bags on others (I am 30 now remember)! Actually, it was funny because yesterday there were two women who saw me with the Selfridges bag on the street and accosted me to find out if PB had a sale there. When I told them that I thought so but wasn't sure - they actually ran like the wind in the direction of Selfridges. I guess they were hard-core PB fans.

This may be the time when I buy a set of brushes just because of the bag they're in... IF the bag is cute!

are we thinking about the same scotland here?! it really is less glamour, more still game. and if you don't know what i mean check this out YouTube - Still Game: "Tappin'" Series 2 Episode 5 (part 1 of 3)

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

People are forever saying the brush sets are pants but tbh, I think they're pretty good, I mean the brushes may not be the full size quality but they're pretty good for a fair price, and if you want to get started with MAC brushes then you learn what shapes you use or don't. and they're great for travel!

i never understand when people say they are crap. to me i have never had a 'crap' brush from a brush set. all much superior quality to drug store brushes and even some other high end brands brushes. obviously they are not quite as good as the full size. but even for everyday use i think they are fine for me i'd say i have more mini brushes than full sized ones!

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

I've herd people say the 129se is really scratchy and things but personally I don't find it to be, I've got super sensitive skin and over sensitivity disorder (Which is kinda like, about the way things feel on me, not like my skin getting irritated by products) and I don't think it's scratchy!

Same for me lou, I've only got like 3 full size brushes because they're expensive, but without the set, I'd never have bought the 219, or the 227 and now, they're some of my favourite brushes! I want the fullsize not to replace them but so that I've got one for light colours and one for dark!

yes my 129se is ok too. i have conditioned it though and it is the only brush that seems to have a purple colour run off it when washing. but it's not scratchy. my normal 129 is softer though - but not by alot.

yes in the uk the full size brushes are very expencive. usually nick gets me brushes as aniversary presents or for Christmas. the 227 is an awesome brush! and the 219 i don't have a full size but i have got the sigma version which is very good. 239 brushes though i have an insane amount of! full size and mini because i love it so much! plus everytime one gets slightly discoloured a buy another one!

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

my first brush kit was pretty craptastic. i dont remember the name of the collection, but i believe it was all asian inspired. It was in blue soft case.
It was the face/eye kit. i think out of all of the brushes the only half decent one was teh angle brush... and even so, its now fallen apart. I mean, it was ok for the time... it did the trick and taught me a bit about brushes, but it was total crap.

since then all the brushes have benn pretty good as far as im concerned.

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

Ive boughten 2 holiday brush sets and both are atleast 2 years old now and my mini brushes although some are missing are going strong and doing great!

re: MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

I have two SE 239's and I use them wayyyy more than my regular 239. I have no problems with them. I think I also like to keep my full one clean I use the SE's every time and the regular is more like a backup for last minute colour decisions.
