Not both.

It would be a brush set or the cool eye palette/rose lips set for me. That would be wallet-proof.
I was naughty and ordered the 183 so I changed all plans again

Pink and neutral!

I have a full sized Pink Grapefruit from the coral set, but none of the neutral. And the pink one is a must!

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

The cool pigments are on my list too. And probably one l/g set. But I have one month to save money for them

I'm still tempted by the brush sets.
How much are the brush sets in SAKS?
Same price as Nordies?

Even though the aussie/us exchange rate is horrible atm, it still pays for me to pay $50 for shipping since the brush sets retail for $115 here is australia.

PASS!!! i'd recommend buying full sizes as you can afford them, and pass on the crappy sets. the sets are better for younger people or for those just starting out with brushes.

go for the third eye.

Any NW20s absolutely loving their Intriguing Scarlet - Cool Pink Lips?

I can't decide if I should take the plunge and experiment with it or give it away to someone else. Is it a must for people who like pale, not too red and dark lips?

I have so many lippies... is this a must have?

I'm set on getting Little Darlings: Pink lipglass/lusterglass set.

Will see the Coral ones before deciding, as I already have a regular sized Pink Grapefruit. I like both the Cool and Warm pigments but don't know what to do with the glitters too.

OMG! This just came on to the australian website. I am sooooo tempted to drive down to look at the 4 face brush set!!! I really want it because i dont have any brushes. It would at least buy me time till i can get them all full sized.

Everyone is making me scared about the brush sets that I just ordered. I guess I'll soon see for myself.

I was in the mall today to run a couple of errands and stopped by MAC and felt up the brushes - people aren't kidding about how bad they were. The 187 felt disgusting, for example. I can't even imagine touching my face with those...

For those in Canada, Quo brushes are softer and better from what I can tell. Also, lots cheaper than MAC full size and regularly go on sale. Don't bother with the brush sets. Just don't.

That 187 gave me the shivers.
