i'm still confused for the prices of the brush sets at Saks and MAC. is that the price just for the basic brush set with the special packaging or for all the brush sets?

couple questions about antiquitease heirlooms brush set:
-will they be sold at counters such as nordstroms?
-i know they're a whole lot cheaper than buying all the brushes individually, but i've heard that the quality is less. is this true? what are the pros/cons of the regular brushes versus the special edition brushes???

yes they will be sold at counters.
yes the brushes in the brush set are not as good as the full size brushes.
Pro: they are cheap and good for traveling.
Con: they don't last as long as the full size ones. SE brushes are mass produce while the full size ones are all handmade.

Just got back from the Antiquitease event. They had the royal assets and heirloom stuff out for us to look at and pre-order. I ended up not wanting any of it (some nice colors in metallic and cool eyes especially but I already have similar colors), but I wanted to say the packaging looks much better in person. In particular, in all the pictures I've seen online I thought the little clutch bags looked super ugly. They're still not really my style but they're much cuter in person. They are sort of white (maybe offwhite) but they've got shiny metallic gold or silver (depending on which set it is) interwoven into the knit pattern. I couldn't really tell that at all from the pictures so they surprised me a bit.

I saw this collection tonight, and wasn't overly impressed with this part of the collection. I only pre-ordered the cool palette and the eye brush set, but I think I am going to cancel my preorder for the brush set. The colors in the cool palette are beautiful and vibrant. The others didn't thrill me much, but then again, I prefer lots of color on my eyes.

I missed the event today (but I did go to a cco with Cindy- woot!!)

Did they show a lot of the holiday stuff or was it mostly antiquitease color?

I just got back from the event,which was super fun. my store had the color collection out and a display with the brushes and the royal assets palettes. Truthfully, I wasn't crazy about any of the palettes so i didn't preorder it. But I bought a ton of the stuff from the color collection.

THe brush sets at mac are actually 48 the only one that costs 45 is the one in the gold can. They are the basic set. I know this because I went to the event today and purchased all 3.

Does anyone know how much each of the holiday collection items will cost in Canada?

I've noticed that things cost more here even though the USD is equal to CND roughly a little over 20% more for each item.

Here a paint pot=$20, and a pigment =$23.50, Lipsticks and Lipglosses =$16.50 except for the chromeglass which is more.

And then I get doubled screwed because where I live the sales tax is 13% which they just lowered it 2 years ago from 14.5%.

All the things I want in this collection will cost nearly $400 USD based on the US prices
