That's cute!!

OMG!! New pigments!!

Seriously hope Later it's repromoted as I'd need a CP to get it if not!!

There should also be some mini pigment sets in the holiday mini collection sets but those are usually from the regular line or re-promotes. Later pigment will first be released in Alice + Olivia in July but not everywhere. Here's the description and you can see a pic in the colour story for A+O: Later. - Black with transforming purple pearlized pigments (Limited Edition) So excited for new pigments!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously hope you're right!!!

i must admit that i alays get slightly confused around the holiday collections. because you have the main colour coleection. then the collection with the palettes in and then the collection with the minis and then they sometimes put the viva glam stuff seperate too! all with different names! it can be hard to keep up with. but i wonder what the other names will be this year

I hope they have different mix in the mini brush sets though. I like them but I find some quite useless for me (like the flat eyeliner brush). I never used that, so I definitely don't want to have a second one.

I will try my best to keep it all organized for you here

 

[PinkBasset]

I wish there could be a brush set with synthetic brushes, I would love to buy one!

My brush set is tore up. Bristles have come out, the ferrules have fallen off. They were not good quality like full size brushes. I use sigma's travel set, which is great, cause of my experience with the MAC travel set, and you get more brushes.

oh dear! poor mac brushes! i've not been that impressed with the sigma brushes i have... i prefer the mac minis. but different strokes for different folks right?!

how long did your MAC one last for?

Here's another vote for loving the SE brush sets. I adore them. I use them WAYYY more often than full size brushes. I feel like the smaller size= more control in application. I actually think the quality of them is great. I've never had any complaints.

And I also love MINI pigment sets when they have good colors (i.e. not last year). I don't use pigments all the time, so the mini sets are perfect for me!

 

[LMD84]

generally i like the mini pigments however i hate actually getting product out of them! usually i put some in smaple jars which makes it easier for me to use

plus i hope this year the package up some pro only colours or really old pigments which we've not had in years. last years were rather diassapointing to me

 

[Susanne]

I would love to see a sneak peek of the packaging this year.....

Oh, and will we get colored brushes? Like the gold and silver ones with Antiquitease?? This would be awesome. They have made enough black SE brushes IMO.

i loved the gold and silver ones! but perhaps they could actually do a tartan patterened handle? or maybe a nice forest green coloured handle

That's sound nice

I wish

 

[DollyGirl92]

They should do SE full size brushes in 'special packaging' too, like how they promote some brushes with some collections, I think they should make the big ones all pretty too! I love having things all EXACTLY the same, or looking pretty and mixed up so cute looking brushes would be a must!

 

[NeverEnoughMac]

Yes, Dollygirl92, a full size brush set would be awesome! They could come in a cute plaid bag maybe!

 

[coachkitten]

I actually really love the brush sets. I use the Antiquitease ones quite often especially the 190SE and the 187SE.

I can't wait to hear more info about this collection. I have really high hopes for it.

That sounds yummy, but I doubt they'll give us silver or gold, since it's Tartan Tale.

That would be pure heaven!!

As, Susanne said, they give us way too many black SE brushes!! Patterned and colored ones are irresistible!!
