What happened to the nice bags that came with brush sets? Well... actually why can't they all be good like that one time.
What I mean is I LOVED the clutch that came with the Novel Twist brush set. It was high quality, chic and expensive looking, and durable. The brush set clutches with Patternmaker (Summer 2006) were pretty, but felt hard and plastic-y, from Formal Black (Holiday 2006) were very cheap looking because of the low quality faux satin material. The ones from Novel Twist (Summer 2007) were BEAUTIFUL and high quality and awesome. I bought the Pro set just for the pink squiggled design clutch and I have been using it for over a year now and it's just as pretty as the day I got it. It's awesome. The Antiquitease (Holiday 2007) bags with the brush sets were the biggest abomination ever to grace the MAC counter. So cheap and dollar-store looking. The Materials were just so plastic and fake and awful, not a fan.
This year's summer collection (Colour Forms) had more structural bags and they looked nice, but they weren't all that unique. For that reason, I didn't purchase one so I can't really say anything about the quality or durability of it. This year's Holiday brush set clutches are again cheap and weird. This year they're more of a cylinder. They're pretty stiff and again they have a weird satiny gross material on them. The zipper and patent-leather looking accents are cool, though I'm unsure how they'd last.
