I'm not a fan of this collection but I enjoyed your review and pictures. Thank you :)
Agree, not a big fan either. I only really got the nude lip bag because it was all LE stuff. The rest is mostly perm. Saving up for all the paint pots coming soon!

Glad you liked the review. It was my first real one!

More white makeup bags. I just don't get it. Are they at least covered in plastic? Anyway, still hoping for color names for the palettes.

I bought the Pink lip bag since I didn't have "Girl About Town" in my collection of lipsticks and I was going to return "Turkish Delight" (I could justify paying $25 for this lip gloss). I didn't care for "Embrace Me" much just because I already have MUFE's 16c Aqua lip pencil (sure enough they're exactly the same in my eyes). What surprised me was "Picture Pink" lipglass -- I was recently on the hunt for something dupeable for NARS "Turkish Delight" and I think "Picture Pink" fits the bill! Below are comparison and swatches -- hope it helps!



Top to bottom: OCC "Anime" Lip Tar, "Girl About Town" lipstick, Khroma Beauty "Shocking Pink" Joystick, "Embrace Me" lip pencil, "Process Magenta" Chromagraphic pencil, Make Up For Ever 16C Aqua lip pencil, "Picture Pink" lipglass, "Patience Please" Pro Longwear lipglass and Victoria's Secret Shine Drama "Innocent" lip gloss.

I saw this collection today and I actually like the bags. Pretty cute in person. The pink lip bag was a big no because I hate Girl About Town on me. The nude lip bag was a no because the lipstick was boring, I have the liner, but I did want the gloss. Hate when that happens. I'm off lipglass, but that color was pretty damn nice. I wasn't even remotely interested in the shadows. I've never been able to indulge in a Nordstroms/Mac collection. I've been underwhelmed in all my time paying attention to it.

If you love pinks, the set is worth it (especially for the price it's running right now). The bag is nice. I was a little hesitant about the bag being white, however, when I saw and felt it in person my opinion towards it changed. The bag's texture is rubber-ish in a way (the best way I can describe it) which leads me to think it won't get as dirty right away. If it happens to get dirty, it can be easily wiped off.

Wish I could buy the cute lipstick bag without the products because I am flush with hot pink lipsticks so they are on my no buy list until I use some of them up. Has anyone gone in person to Nordie's counters and seen the bigger graffiti bags???

Nah. I have plenty makeup bags. Plus I like to have my makeup out and arranged so I see it and use it! Lol
