MAC Cosmetics Part II ( Collection set)

For this post im going to show the MAC collections that i got. When i first try on MAC, i thought that i got a good deal if i buy the set brushes. The MUA said that its the same quality as normal brushes. BIG MISTAKE. The quality is not the same at all. But since i got it, i just let it sit prettily at my dressing table.

Julie Verhoeven Collection

Julie Verhoeven Brush Set 1

This is the first set. It contains 187 Duo Fibre Brush, 130 Short Duo Fibre Brush, 282 Duo Fibre Tapered Brush, 286 Duo Fibre Blending Brush. So far i dont use any of it anymore as i dont find the bristles soft enough. Its a bit scratchy too.

This is the second set. It contains 129E - For powder or blush,  219E - Large fluff brush. 224SE - Tapered blending brush (also good for applying creamy concealer under the eye), 227SE - Pencil brush, 266SE - Flat angled brush. So far i only still use the 227SE and 266SE. I actually like all the normal version of this brushes, i got all of them in normal size. Way better than this set in terms of quality.

This is the smokey eye set. I loves this, i use it regularly until i got my hands on Naked Basics pallette. But at times when i misplace my MAC Wedge single eyeshadow, i go here and use the wedge in this set as my crease color.

The set includes 3 full-sized eyeshadow pans from MAC's permanent collection (Naked Lunch [frost], Wedge [matte] and Carbon [matte], 1.5 g/0.05 oz each), 2 special edition brushes (212 Flat Definer Brush - full size $22.50 and 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush, 1 full-sized Technakohl Eyeliner (Graphblack, 0.35 g/0.012 oz, ) and 1 Mini Zoom Lash Mascara (Rich Black, 4 g/0.14 oz, ) in a mirrored canvas box illustrated by London-based artist Julie Verhoeven which includes a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve the perfect smoky eye.

I like the brushes that comes with this as well. Still use 212 to tightline eyeshadows to my eye, then the 275 to contour my nose.
