Wow - thanks for posting the Teal pigment comparison swatches. Now I don't feel bad about skipping the pigment sets.....

I swatched all the pigs in the cool set: pinked mauve is GORGEOUS. I immediately noticed something up with teal: its not as smooth as most mac pigments and it is definetly more green. Im upset about it, because the real teal is so gorgeous. This is still purty though,

I got all 3 brush sets from nordies for $35 each. I was a little sceptical after reading all the comments here, but I am soooooo glad I got them. I love all of them, I think the 266 is the only one I thought differed dramatically from the full size. But it would still work for filling in my brows. The 187 really is not the same as the full size, but for the price its excellent, it still will do all the things I want it to do.


I got the eye pallets too, I love the smokey pallet the most. Cool and warm are just gorgeous too. But classic eyes was a big dissapointment for me the green especially was just

, I returned it and exchanged for little darlings.

I haven't been through a MAC holiday before, so I can't compare anything to previous ones but as a newbie to the MAC holiday collections I was really impressed with everything. I look forward to what next years holiday has to offer. I better get saving right now, lol!.


I love the little darlings, its such a great way to try out lots of things I wouldn't normally due the the price of the full size ones. I love all the lip glosses, especially the coral set. I didn't have any pigments in the sets, so these were a real bargain for me. I am just so glad I came to the states now to take advantage of the cheaper prices of all the holiday collection.


I'm also a newbie to the holiday collection. I bought the 3 brush sets, they are great if you just starting with make up or MAC.
I totally agree with the size from the 187 the one from the set is mush smaller.

If it was me, I'd have bankrupted myself over in the States since everything is so much cheaper, and I'd have taken advantage of it. Nice to see you back - have a good flight home x


Thanks,

I'm taking the pictures and posting my haul tonight. I practically did bankrupt myself, lol!

Girl I don't care for the lipglass, I didn't like it. lol Neither for the lighter lippie. I like Romancin cause it was different. I don't have Starlet Kiss but I am happy with my Cult Fave.

I used to have Pinked Mauve and it is gorgeous but I sold it b/c I don't know how many pinkish looks I would do with a whole jar. :\ I have the Teal in a vial too but from the 2005 or 06 collection. I wonder if its a weird one too

B/c I don't have the whole jar to compare it to.
The only thing I picked up from the Holiday collection was Stark Naked, baby sparks and miss dynamite which I will sell b/c I have no need for it.

Oh god oh god!
I LOVE the Red Lips bag!
I know Adore It is sheer, but it makes you look like you've just had a cherry lollipop. It's very easy to pull off too.

And Racy is just amazing. A dark brick red color.. it's not like any red I've had before. It's not overly frosty either, it's just right.

Does it bother anyone else when a non-makeup colour gets described as "lipstick red"? As far as I'm concerned, that doesn't help at all!

From swatching a few too many shades at the local MAC counter, I have found it: Adore It has a dead-on dupe in Urgent! Slimshine. Finis.

So today they FINALLY put the holiday eye palettes out on display at my local counter today (yeah, we're a little behind here in New Zealand!). I ended up getting Cool Eyes and Warm Eyes. I LOVE love love the Cool Eyes, every single shade is SO pretty!
Thanks to all who recommended this to me.
