I think you're looking at the one in the bridal section of mac online.
Novel Twist was released exclusively to Nordstrom's; maccosmetics.com didn't have the brush set or the collection on their website, iirc.

Re: All About Brushes!
Oh ok, cool...
I was at Sephora yesterday and I just asked to see a collection of the brushes, and the rep said that "Believe it or not, Sephora are the same, if not, better then the MAC ones" He said that the have the same manufacturer...and that he wasn't just saying it to sell them to me, cause he wasn't on commission. What do you guys think??

First time buyer- Which Mac brushes are a must have or essential?
Ok I've tried all types of brushes and I don't know if my skin is just extra sensitive but all the brushes I've tried with the exception of the Essence of Beauty brushes have felt harsh on my face. Prickly like.
With that being said and with so many people telling me to try them, I'm ready to branch out into trying the Mac brushes but don't know which ones are essentials or a must have.
If this were your first Mac brush purchase, which ones would you buy that are a must have or an essential to your overall makeup routine?
Thanks

Re: First time buyer- Which Mac brushes are a must have or essential?
Since it is near the holidays and some stores still have the brush sets I would get the eyes and face set , that way you can get 10 brushes at a realy good price
When I first started with MAC I got a basic brush set for Chistmas and added more to my collection

I wonder if they'll still have some after Christmas, like that Wed. or Thurs. There is no way I'm going to the mall right now. I was at my hair salon earlier and the mall was PACKED. Even the very far away parking spots were full. People were parking all along and on the grass and sidewalks. But I will check after Christmas. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Must have Mac eye brushes to get ?
In general terms, I think you should get one medium all purpose brush, a crease brush, and a blending brush. For all purpose, I like the 239, the crease goes to the 222, and the 225 for blending. HTHS!
