MAC seems to be going on this glam, girly and retro route in the later half of 2012 with the Marilyn Monroe collection followed by their upcoming Holiday 2012 Collection.

While some visuals of the Holiday 2012 Collection Glamourdaze are floating around online, what really caught my eye with this collection is the Special Edition brush set.

Is that MAC's take on the Yachiyo brush? (extreme right brush below)

I don't know MAC's history to a tee and have been falling out of the loop with their updates but... is this the first time they adopted this brush shape?

While I am intrigued in that, I also know what they say about MAC's Special Edition brushes (Made in China, lower quality... etc) but I guess I'll have to see it in person and scout around for reviews before I decide.

As for the collection itself, it is pretty, girly and all sorts of glam/cute but it has yet to jump out at me.

More visuals of the Holiday 2012 collection over on here. It seems no official product information has been released just yet.

Speaking of Yachiyo brushes, I feel tempted to indulge in Hakuhodo's Yachiyo brushes - namely the medium and small one. NARS has a Yachiyo too but that can wait since they will have a counter here eventually.

Has anyone tried Hakuhodo's Yachiyo brushes? Thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

p.s. Random but I kinda like how this entry looks right at the very top with my blog's color theme and all. Heh.
