I loved last year's brushes! I bought the 129 and it in NO WAY compares with the regular 129. The softness is SO far superior to any other MAC brush I've ever bought or tested it's incredible. I am really hoping they'll include brushes this year as well.
I don't usually get too excited about many of the color products but the year before I bought Influential lipstick (Darkened peach with gold pearl pigments) and it is way up there on my list of faves.

It's almost as if the look is outdoing the product with this collection. I bought the mystery powder and big paddle brush last year only because I prefer it to studio fix. I do think last year's packaging was nicer than the year before, but the colors sucked.

They really need to change the sheer formulas of everything. They are trying to get on the level of Chanel with these type of collections (the ultra luxurious, but sheer formulas). They need to get a clue and have matte and amplified lipsticks instead of the glaze and lustre-like finishes, super thick creamy lipglasses instead of the sheer lustreglass-mixed-with-lip-gelee feel, and super high coverage and glamorous highlighters instead of the disappointing Rich Metals and Sheersparks. I love the Mystery Powders though. And I like the price too. <3

Re: Luxe - Holiday Couture Collection 2008
I had a dream about this collection tonight!
It was the beginning of December and I travelled to Berlin to buy this collection exclusively
I can't describe my pics of the collection, but it was an awesome displayer
And Barbie was repromoted as well in that dream. I bought all the lippies
Ok, just a dream

I agree with BunnyBunnyBunny. Bring back the opacity MAC! I just don't do sheers, blah.

Re: Luxe - Holiday Couture Collection 2008
I didn't care for Stylistics at all but I loved the Coutoure collection from 2006. Couture Red lipstick in that collection was the PERFECT red (Queen's Sin is pretty close to it but not exact). I still have the Mystery Powder (the case is wonderful and substantial) as well as the RMHs and Couture Red l/s (so glad I broke my no back up rule for these).
I can't wait to see what they come up with for Luxe.

I really didn't like last year's collection, I brought things for my sisters as holiday gifts. (That bag was a joke!!) But I do loove those powders, I think the finish is just awesome!
I agree MAC should concentrate on different products and improving existing products, and slow down the FULL collections. I'd rather see new & improved shadows, lippies, powders, etc,.
