MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[Soul Unique]

I'm thinking i'll get the viva glam set, instead of the other lipstick/lipglass set that we've seen.

My mind however hasn't stopped thinking about those blushes and Family Crest pigment, those are my must haves!!

 

[Eleentje]

Teddy bears? eyeshadows with tartan print on them? Viva glam set? (fingers crossed it's not in palette form) All I can say is:

I can't wait for more info! I'm not fussed about DGC, cos I don't really like that milky look of them, but the rest is gonna make me soooo poor!

 

[Eleentje]

I wonder if that purple pigment in the other set is "Later"?

oooh! good thinking! i think it's more likely to be deep purple or grape, as stylistic_x3 said it's pure purple as opposed to blackened purple, but we can hope right?

Viva Glam sets in holiday collections usually are in palette form.

Oh, I didn't know that! Then I guess I'll buy Viva Glam V as a 'real' lipstick sometime but I'll wait for more info coming out - maybe I like he palette, although I doubt it. I dunno - I don't like l/s as palette form.

Put it on with that old fashioned big blobby blush brush.

Eidetica: Re your first comment: I agree that MAC does keep releasing the same colors with little or no change. It's a marketing ploy that unfortunately works--people keep buying them because of the hope that the tiny change will be what makes this color just perfect for them--but Re your 2nd comment, you seem to have voiced your opinion in a slightly condescending tone, which I don't really appreciate.

yes you are not alone in not liking lippies in a palette form. i'm not keen either. i hate applying lippie with a stick. if i'm in a rush i don't want to fiddle with a palette!

Yes! That's exactly what I think! And about taking it with you...You can hold a lipstick in one hand and a mirror in the other but with a palette...I would need three hands; holding the mirror in one, the stick in another and the palette in a third one. No, not a good idea

Which brush is better for blending? the 217 or the 224 brush? TIA

the 224 is my fave bledning brush but i never actually apply colour with that brush because it's way too fluffy. the 217 is good for applying colour and blending. i love them both for those different reasons

I've asked for a good blending brush yesterday and I was recommended the 217 brush by many girls.

UGH whyyy mac? i HATE those!

I never really go for the Dazzleglasses, DGC, and Creamsheen Glosses....they just seem like a rip off with less product but more price lol

Wasn't it mentioned that this one would come in a tartan bag though? They don't usually put palettes in bags so maybe there's always a possibility they could be doing it differently this year. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, that's true! Already forgot about what was mentioned...Hopefully it's no palette but a box with the 'real' l/s and l/g!
*keeping my fingers crossed as well*

Exactly! That's why I have my hopes up... and maybe this year MAC would realize that lip palette didn't sell well?
I didn't like lip palette either, it just looks un-hygienic to me

.
Anyways, looking forward to the update tomorrow

This Viva Glam set was as the other lip bag sets were. It was not in a palette form, but was just your regular VG l/s & l/g & sold with a little Tartan bag for $36 I believe. [: From what I'm recalling. Haha, I'm so scared that this is all too good to be true & I'm recalling a fantasy! LOL!
