Lol, I like having matching brushes too (and matching everything else 
), but I always end up buying mini brush sets cause they're sooo cute
and well at least they all match in each set, lol.
I have these as well and I love them although they're not as posh as MAC http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/category/brushes
But now I'm worried cause I read about all the fake MAC brushes and I'm wondering if they do fake mini brush sets as well
(i purchased mine on ebay, way out of holiday season…didn't wanna wait for a new holiday set to come out, lol).

Were did you get that information from, please? I'd like to know the European prices, as well!

All the sets are usually around 40 Euros.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know the phrases for them. Oh well, never mind.

The European prices for holiday sets are always ridiculous. And the worst things is that prices in Greece are even higher than the German ones. This year I'll try to find someone from US to do a CP as I refuse to pay double the price
Also, I don't think this has been posted?

That gold polish made my heart flutter when I first saw the product/promo image. However, I'm sure I can find a nice gold for less $. I could have really used it this past Thanksgiving (Canada) when I wore a gold and cream top and gold sandals
I have finally made up my mind for my final list. I had to make drastic and heartbreaking cuts
and it's still more than I'd like to spend these days on just one collection! But I don't feel I can cut it anymore...everything left is what I realllly want and reallly love!

There is an entry from a german site - "beauty and more tv" - which also lists the prices. It states 27 € für the nail lacquer set as far as I can see (punch it into google
- it has stars behind the prices but I have yet to find out what they mean - but some of the other prices appear to be "reasonable")
damn, now I am also interested in looking into the brushsets too yaarrggghhhhhh

I just had a look at the site you named. I couldn't figure out what the stars behind the prices mean but if the Viva Glam Bag will cost 45€ I think I'll skip it an buy the lipstick and the lipglass on it's own because I don't like the bag that much.There is an entry from a german site - "beauty and more tv" - which also lists the prices.

With the impending birth of my first child in the spring, TARTAN was going to be my last BIG collection splurge, but after reading some of the comments here, I'm beginning to second-guess myself.
Originally I had planned to get two of the three gloss sets, one of the shadow palettes, one of the Pigment sets, two of the single shadows, the Black Swan eyeliner, Faerie Glen lippie and Radiant Jewels dazzleglass.
Since I TOTALLY zoned out on MAC launches for Summer and Fall (when Disney Villians came out and MISSED IT COMPLETELY---kicking myself DAILY on this one....), I figured this is a good way to make up for it.

I really hope it won't let you down!

I am outing myself as not the greatest lipgloss-wearer - I was tempted to get this at first, but since it is more expensive than the actual two items I would just get it for the bag and the good cause and then again I don't need the lipglass and... yeah, I think I'll try to get the lipstick on it's own then (if that is even possible?? gosh, I don't know - where is the noob-smiley when you need it???

Yes, that's possible and it's still for the good cause because the money from the lipsticks and lipglasses is also donated! That's why I'll buy them seperate then because it's still for the good cause but it's cheaper for me since I don't necessarily need the bag and I can buy the two things anytime I want.I really hope it won't let you down!
