I’m confused. Is MAC’s holiday aka Christmas collection for 2009 known as Magic Mirth and Mischief or is that a different line altogether? You can tell you aren’t reading the blog of a MAC Cosmetics fan when you see this LOL…<\/p>\n
Anyway, I was in Penang over the weekend for work where I stumbled (literally) on the MAC Magic Mirth and Mischief launch. I tripped over the raised edge of the platform and it was only by sheer luck that I did not end up on my face \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
You can read about the MAC Magic Mirth and Mischief collection on Lipglosseater<\/a> where you can also see some nice clear swatches. I’m here to tell you what I think about the limited edition sets and brush sets MAC comes up with every year for the Holidays.<\/p>\n MAC Lip and Eye Bags – Holiday 2009 (RM150) (link<\/a>) <\/p>\n These bags caught my eye first. Actually I was quite taken in by the lip products. The House of Mirth Deep lip bag set <\/strong>is nice if you like a strong lip. The lipstick is Fantasia and Get Rich Quick Dazzleglass gloss. The other lip set is a light pink in Put a Spell on you Pink Lip bag. Lipstick, gloss and pencil come in a little bag.<\/p>\n All thoughts of lipstick flew out of my mind the moment I saw the eye bags. Ah these are some eye bags I don’t mind having! Haha… The SA did not believe me when I told her that Melon Pigment in the Alakazam! bag is a repromote. I should know girl, I have a sample! And its gorgeous! MAC pigments are about my only weakness from MAC and to prove her wrong, I’m wearing Melon today with chocolate liner whee! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was tempted by the Naughty Noir Eye Bag<\/strong> – Shimmertime pigment, Blacktrack fluidline, mini #209 liner brush and mascara. Shimmertime pigment looks amazing – a pale pinky peach shimmer I just know I can wear over anything. The rest of the products didn’t grab me though. So I’m going to dig through my pigment stash to see if I can find something to take the place of Shimmertime \ud83d\ude09 Otherwise, I’d have to see if they sell it separately (SA said no \ud83d\ude1b )<\/p>\n MAC Brush Bags – RM250\/each (link<\/a>) <\/p>\n Every year MAC comes up with travel size brush sets for the Holidays. Prices have gone up. They started at about RM200 and then they were RM220 are now RM250. I actually thought the ones from last year – Adoring Carmine<\/a> – were decent. I personally own a set from quite a few years ago – the blush brush is almost dead but its otherwise a decent set of first brushes.<\/p>\n However I must profess great disappointment in MAC’s brush sets from this Holiday collection. The brushes are nowhere as large as they look in the picture – they are in fact quite small. I was fascinated by the 2nd set – that white angled brush (#187SE) and skunk brush (#168SE) looked appealing. But when I touched them, I knew I’d pass. The bristles felt plasticky and stiff and in a nutshell, felt and looked cheap. Sorry MAC lovers!<\/p>\n
