where are you getting your information from? ilovemakeup and HerGreyness are both trusted members of specktra, and without meaning to be rude, you've just appeared and ran your mouth without giving any sources; then insulted us for being suckered in by fake information and buying the palettes? if you're so wise, please share where you got this information with us

Besides, we don't usually get Holiday pigments- the sets come out. And of course the pallets are the same every year. They're Xmas gifts for high school/ college market more than for us. We get things like those stunning mineral eyeshadows last year... Not plain Jane beige lipstick from a secondary '90's spring collection. Every Faerie in every Glen in the Angel Isles is gagging. Hardly a cold, moonlit color! And pointless at a Solstice bonfire. Calling the bluff, MAC. Rodarte is half already in our collections and nobody wants white lipstick in Jingle Bell Season. Dangle bait I want at holiday parties if you want to get up a head of steam here.... |

Ugh I know! I bought my first full-size pigment earlier this year, and I don't know how I did my makeup before! MAC has completely changed my routine.

Me too! About two months ago I had never bought anything from MAC and now I own 20(?) pigment samples, 3 blushes, 4 msf's, a concealer... MAC starts to eat my wallet
spunky:
Thanks 2 u for welcoming, too!
Yes, I've seen those and I'd really like to try those since I've read so many good opinions about MAC brushes and I don't own one by now. But I've also read that the SE brushes usually are of minor quality so I don't whether I should buy one

if you have access to a counter, go and have a look at them in person. obviously everyone has a different opinion, so what one person thinks is rubbish, someone else may think is great value. it's really down to what you think of them
don't be scared to manhandle them either! pull the bristles, test them on your hand/arm to see how they feel, and if you like them then treat yourself

That's why I'm really into them. Somehow I really like brushes in travel size. I'm nearsighted and I have to go so close to the mirror, that I always hit it with normal-sized brushes.
Spunky:
As far as I know, the collection will be released a couple of weeks or days later in Germany. So I guess, I will first of all wait what you guys are saying about the brush sets and if it's not too bad I will go to the counter and have a look myself. Well, I'll go there anyway since I want the pigment sets and maybe a lipglass set as well

Oh man, now that I can't wear contacts anymore, it has been so frustrating having to stand really close to the mirror to be able to see anything
I think brush sets are not too bad for someone who is just getting into Mac.
The only full-size brush you should definitely invest into and no waste your time on the SE version is 239. The rest of the brushes I've got with my Antiquitease set are not too bad.
I can't wait til Erin's update and, most importantly, the swatches! I haven't been posting much on Specktra in the past couple of months (mainly cos it takes me forever to write one post--I tend to ramble), but keep checking on the news for this collection the whoooooole time! Definitely will be investing into those piggies
I think it will be the collection Ill be splurging the most money on this year
I really like the looks of that eye set (let's hope its gonna be a gorgeous colour, something else than the last revision of Teal!), piggie sets will be mine (i'm also a piggie addict
), and those sets with a lipstick and a dazzleglass look nice as well. And that gorgeous lipstick photo of which was posted a while ago looks amazing!

LOL, that's what I've been doing the whole time at work, whenever I'd have nothing to do (Specktra is blocked at work, poo!)! But everyone is keeping their lips sealed about this one. I think Mac has explicitly asked everyone who have access to this collection's information to be hush-hush about it not to spoil the VV fun (just like it was mentioned a number of times).
I think the information will start flooding in in October
Despite me being super-impatient and excited for this collection, just like all of you guys, I should say that we shouldn't forget that we are quite priveleged to be getting all the collection information as early as we do, thanks to the effort of various lovely Specktrettes
So we shouldn't complain, really

I don't mind waiting for collection info, really. It's like how I save gifts to open for as long as I can... Delaying the awesomeness

No, I can't! It's seriously like an addiction! A few months ago I didn't care about MAC and now I'm pleading for every little information I can get about the new collections!
I reall like one of the palettes as well but I know I can still buy similar eyeshadows the rest of the year. But I wouldn't buy the regular pigments since it's way too much, you never get through it and it's quite pricey. I prefer the pigments sets - more than one colour, not as large as the regular ones and quite a good deal.

What's so special about the 239? I have a similar one from Zoeva. I still need a good blending brush tho - mine's way too fluffy for blending.
I can't wait fo Erin's update, too! I've been checking this website for quite a few weeks now and finally decided to register as well.
