Oh, well. Guess we will have to wait for Erin's update on the 27th.

I went to the FS store today and finally saw Ashley the MUA I hadnt seen in ages. She told me she was so excited for this collection to come out and thought everything was pretty. I didnt even bother asking to see anything because I've been there done that with no success...remember the way they act about stuff there.....like it's some secret thing. I told her I wanst that interested in anything though sadly.

Just went back and looked at the swatches of the piggies that HerGreyness posted (thanks
) and I am now thinking I may skip the kit part. Maybe one piggie set or a palette, but the color collection is exciting me a lot more right now. I know I will be, for sure, getting the peach blush, two lipsticks, and at least two pigments. Even that will be a big haul for me right after VV.

I might try to buy one of the bags, but not the brushes.

Your MAC luck needs to turn around.
On topic: I really do hope someone decides to get rid of the bags. I would definitely pay for them.

Not only polishes. I think e/s are the best pick in their collection. They're so pigmented! They're MORE pigmented than MAC e/s, not joking!
KIKO Cosmetics MakeUp, Face Treatment, Cleansing, Accessories Buy in case. And I can provide swatches, if needed.
No brush set for me. Never again in my life. The first thing I tried by MAC was a brush set and I got so discouraged that I didn't try any other MAC product in a year. Then, unfortunately for my wallet, I recovered the time
However, still no colour story yet? I need to know about those pigments, since I've already ordered 3 or 4 from the PRO store in Milan. I don't want dupes!

I recently got a last year's holiday set at CCO. I'm a little scared to use them now. Hope they won't fall apart soon.

.. is the holiday brush set really that BAD?? I got my first MAC brush set about 10 years ago and they are still good until now.. but my friend recently told me that MAC doesn't make a good brush set anymore.. I guess I was lucky that I bought mine when MAC still make good ones.. Thank you all for your info, I was going to buy one of the brush set on this collection, now I will cross it from my list

Oh noooo Lou, sorry to hear about your brush falling apart. I was willing to finally give the brush set a try based on your affirmation alone! Grrr - like Layla I too would buy the bag off anyone who doesn't want theirs [wishful thinking, perhaps?].
I guess that leaves the following on my Holiday wishlist then:
*The Family Crest - Pigment
*Her Blooming Cheek - Blush
*My Highland Honey - Blush
*Lipglass sets x2 [coral/pink] - debating still
*The Neutral Lipstick set
*1 Lipstick - once swatches are available

@ Fferonica: in my opinion, yes. For many reasons:
1) the brushes are shorter, and for some brush types, it is a big problem!
2) the brushes are BAD. They're not soft at all, and for me, with super-delicate skin, they are a pain you-can-imagine-where. I simply get all irritated on my lids, red skin all around my eyes, start crying,... etc.
3) MUFE brushes are 10 times better than MAC brush sets.
instead, if you buy the brushes separately, they're definitely good. However, that story is true: I waited an entire year before trying again something by MAC. Pigments have been my ruin! :-D
