Any more people picking up the brush sets? What's the general feeling on them?
I'm going to get the mineralize and white bristled set. The quality of the sets are lower than regular brushes but I still like them and use them for travelling and some of them get used regardless.

Just got back from macys. I got whirls and twirls. its the only one that really caught my eye when swatched. Soft Sable reminded me of my pewter colored flats. im not a fan of soft sable.




left column: shimmer mint, soft sable
right column: eloquent air, double spin, whirls & twirls, boldy bare liner, i love winter lipstick, what joy!

I was going to ask about the brush sets too. I have the duo fiber set on hold and ready to be picked up today, but I just don't know if I will regret it. I have returned previous brush sets for major suckage. It is just that this set is full of brushes I want, and if they really have improved would I be a fool for passing it up? I am driving myself crazy lol.

A couple of days ago i was really excited about this collection, but for some reason i'm not anymore. I think i'm going to skip

I have ordered a couple of nail polishes and i really need to save some money for a vacation and clothes. I'm still thinking about two paint pots, but i'm very happy with my two pps from posh paradise so maybe i don't need more right now.

I tried to stay away from this thread but I have little willpower.

LOL Just got my haul of:

All 3 paintpoints
Both beauty powders
Whirls & Twirls lipstick
Soft Sable lipstick
Unconditionally Fabulous nail lacquer
Idyllic paintpot (was lemming this for awhile and most stores had sold out except the location I went to today)

The lovely SA mentioned that the collection is starting to sell out (didn't mention anything specific). I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't any beauty powders and paintpots left by the end of the day.

I'm still tempted by Shimmermint MES, Elqouent Air lipstick and Glitter & Ice d/g... Still undecided. This thread will probably help only in persuading me to get them but I always appreciate the reviews and swatches.

I really am not feeling much of anything from this collection.... the lip products are nice, but I own SO-freaking-many already that I think they'll just get lost in the giant bag I have them all in

Shimmermint looks pretty, but MES always end up disappointing me.... I sold almost all of the ones I got this summer. siiigggghhhh. It's really sad too, because I actually have money to burn for once.

I received the Make It Perfect Brush set and I love the handles, like the quality. I think the face brushes are very close to the regular brushes. I'm not sure about the eye liner brushes, they might be a little more scratchy than the regular brushes, but because they are travel brushes, I don't really intend to use them as often as my regular brushes so if they don't hold up as well, then that will be okay. I basically purchased them to add to my collection, and well, let's face it - because they are beautiful

I love Pleasure Principle over Soft Sable - plays up that grey/mauve aspect really well and it keeps the frost toned down just enough. (I always seem to like glosses over the MAC frosts I have, gives a very dimensional, full effect.)

OOOoooo thanks for the rec! I would've never considered PP based on the swatches, but you're right... It would be gorgeous over lippies! Especially considering how much I'm loving DTD! OK... back to MAC! HeeHee

I also got all 3 PPs! They look so pretty in swatches, and I don't have that many anyways. my first ones were from Posh Paradise..lol. How are you liking She-Zam and For Effect? I just purchased them online, but haven't got them yet.

I just ordered Winterized and it's purdy...no poop here!! BUT every picture I take of it makes it look greyish when it's really a purple grey color. The color payoff is great, very pleased.

Here's an outdoor shot. wet/dry
