MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[livymect]

What will the UK prices be? I'd like to know so I can get saving

 

[sonia84]

The MES should be around £15-15.50
Mineralize blushes £18-18.50
MSF should be around £20.50

The brushes I have no idea, Prob similar to what they have at the mo so maybe £15-20 for the eye brushes and anywhere up to £30+ for the cheek brushes

HTH.

hmm i am dubious about the brushes..

half and half burshes, that's a bit wierd, i will need people's opinions on them before i buy for sure

'For skillful application, four new limited-life split fiber brushes a concise half and half compilation of natural and synthetic fibres both sides deposit and distribute color for a soft diffused look use the natural side; for an application the blends, buffs and fuses the color to the skin, use the synthetic. Like any limited edition, these elements start off rare, and tend to get rarer… get rich while you can!'

I will confirmed be gettin:

All the mineralized blushers
All the msfs
One of the split fibre brushes for eye make up

From what I understand from a MAC ma who went for her update training, the synthetic side applies colors more intense and the natural/softer side is used for application of softer colors or blending. It kinda makes sense cause i notice that synthetic brushes like my 242 packs on more colors than softer brushes like the 239.

Very interesting brushes!

Brush info sounds exciting.

wow! expensive haul for you then! you best start saving now! hee hee!

If the eye blending brush is like the 224, it will be interesting to see how well it will blend as you will have two different types of bristles. Will you get patches of unblended/overblended areas or could this be the best thing since sliced bread? If they work, these sound like they would be great for travelling, you could do your whole face with 2 or 3 brushes. I can't wait for more deets.

which would actually be amazing!! i hate taking loads of brushes away with me! although last time we went on holiday i left my brushes at home and had to buy some at the airport! doh!

I'm curious about the brushes as well.. I always love me some nice brushes *brush hoarder over here*

 

[Gorgeous]

aw lol silly, sounds like something I would do too....

When we say split brushes we mean the bristles, right? Like the 187 or something? Some people are talking double-ended brushes. What a flippin' nightmare to store and to clean. Trying to keep water or brush cleaner from getting to the glue that holds the darn thing together. Sephora has double-ended brushes. I don' find them practical or even attractive, myself.

 

[sonia84]

They aren't double ended, Both sets of bristles are on the same end just on different sides so one side will have white bristles and the other side black. Just think Cruella Deville.

I had some BE ones and got rid of them. Hated storing them and they were just plain inconvenient.

Wow, thanks. Now that you mentioned Cruella Deville, I'll have to get all of them!
Kidding, but those do sound really like they'd either be awesome or just kind of useless. Since I'm really new to brushes (I have one lonely 188 MAC brush and a couple of randomly collected cheap ones) I don't know what I'm gonna do if they come out and people love them. I'm not that much of an eyebrush fan.. on the other hand, since I'm not, maybe this would be a good time to start
I'm actually glad that the collections don't come to Germany immediately and I have some time to read everyones reviews before everything sells out.

ha! Cruella...these brushes would have been cool for her portion of VV...
