you know, i'm really starting to think they pulled your leg.... i mean.... that can't be, can it? sounds just too over the top, even for MAC.

 

[user2]

well, we'll see...!

The point is, they release brush sets for portability, to introduce new customers to their brushes, and so on. How would it be practical at all for the average user to have different brush sets come out all the time? Usually people buy a brush set once, and then maybe again when their old ones need replacing. What would be the benefit of not making the basic, standard brushes always available in the sets?

It seems silly to me to expect them to release a variety of brush sets. Why would they want to make it easier for you to have all or most of their brushes at a much cheaper cost? It seems like people are expecting them to cater to collectors or to professionals. They do already with the PPID and pro stores.

When I said fair, I meant how would it be fair to the average user for MAC to release different brush sets, when what most ladies need are the basic ones, which are only available a couple times a year as is, just to cater to people who buy multiple sets or collect them, which you have to realize is a very small portion of their customer base. Not to mention that it would not be smart business-wise either.

They are tasteful and really lovely. As is the tradition, all the Holiday 2005 sets have the same theme.

They're really nice.

Hahah! I was thinking the exact same thing!

All the elements described sound really appealing to me, all together sounds a bit much and tacky but I'll wait to see how they've done it before I judge.

I'm happy to hear that the alternative tailormade brushes will be in too as I couldn't fit it into my budget this time.

 

[midnightlouise]

This is something I definitely need to see

They do release different brush sets. The last couple of holiday sets were quite different than Tailormade, eg:

Holiday
129
224
242
266
316

Tailormade (all 4 sets)
129
168
190
194
212
219
239
252
266
316

The only repeats are the usual Blush, Lip, and Small Angle. In fact, it was the first time in my memory that they included Foundation or Concealer in a brush set. So they do vary them a lot.

MAC artists have no idea what the holiday items will be, or look like.. yet. Once I know, I'll make sure to update you all on this. Take care.

I'll only buy it if it has a snake with googly eyes on the front, next to the chinese characters (which probably should be in rhinestone, I might add)

[Miss_MAC]
