Mac Holiday Brush Set: Eye Set

I didn't get this while it was in the stores but picked it up at the Cosmetics Company for $35. Not cheap, but I figured I was getting some good use out of the other Mac set that I had gotten as a gift the year before.

At this current time, 9/09, I do not think that I am using any of the brushes in this set, except for the eyeliner occasionally, and I do not enjoy using it. (I don't like how hard it is, I think it maybe be made to work with liquid or gel products.) I think I was using more of them for awhile, before the Face and Beauty Convention.

I will write this off as part of the experience. I was of the mindset that I had to pay a little more for a quality make up brush. I know now that this is not the case for me.

Mac 213 Fluff Brush

I wanted a smaller brush for more precise application of shadow. At this point, this bursh is not in rotation (9/09) but that could change.

I'm still happy to have this in my collection. I love the way it feels - well built.

Mac Eyeshadow in Parfait Amour +

When I saw this color in my friend's make up bos, I knew I had to have it - it was the perfect color that I had been searching for. Vivid, true, blue-purple. Semi frosty finish.

I don't know if I will ever hit pan in this shadow - but I LOVE the color pay off and trueness of the color over the course of a day. Great buy, even at full price.
