This was my first holiday event, and my last big haul for awhile. I feel guilty for how much I spent..my (newlywed) husband and I just merged assets, and now I have to tell him how much I really spend. So no more makeup for awhile, but this was worth it.

I can't get the pictures to load

I'm sorry, so here's links.

I'm glad you ladies love them as much as I do! I don't know why it happens, but it's like my MAC store gets all the good stuff early. I'm not complaining or anything..but it's so not fair to you guys. I could have spent a LOT more...I actually wanted the Red lip collection and ended up checking the Neutral box instead. It worked out for the best. I was sort of iffy about the red, but I LOVE Real Treasure. Such the perfect light bronze.

They are, but I hadn't seen anyone else post about their MAC having an event yet. My location got the Emanuel Ungaro collection two weeks early.

I will get it. And maybe that brush set too. Are they made in China? Do they lose hairs?

My MAC free-standing store had their Red She Said event last night, so I went with a friend, ate yummy chocolately treats, and restrained myself from buying more. I was surprised they had the brush sets! The MA's said they didn't think they could sell them but they could. Thank God! They had everything but the mini sets coming out in December.

To answer the questions about the brush sets..the bristles are the same as the other MAC brushes, but the handles weren't as well made as the more expensive, full sized ones. They just felt more like wood, if that makes sense? I used all of them today, and I'm thrilled, especially with the foundation brush and the angled brush. My angle brush is too big for contouring (I think I push too hard, haha!) but since this one is smaller, it's perfect for my face. I'm going to do a review tonight, after I get home from work. Considering the price ($50 for the set vs the individual price) I think it's worth it. I'd like to (eventually) have the longer handled ones, but I have to wait until my dupes go bad. I had all the brushes, but not MAC ones, and I wanted to see if there was a difference.

Kiss and Makeup! You lucky lucky girl! The lipbags were only on presell at my event, PLUS the only one they had on display was the Rose lips one.... I REALLY wanted to check out the Neutral and Red lipbags so bad! The one you got looks absolutely stunning!

Would you mind posting what the finishes of the two lipsticks are? I want them so bad!

Thank you. I guess the handles are fine for me because all brushes that I need/want as individuals would be too much and I love it that they are red
