Whoa! MAC ‘Travel Retail’ Frenzy this week! Sorry, I’ve been spending a lot of time in airports! If you watched the last two MAC videos, the ‘look in a box’ sets, you’ll have seen me using some rather nifty little short-handled brushes. These come as sets – one called ‘Define and Blend’ and the other, ‘Shape and Perfect’. Full details of the contents are in the video and also the Shopping list below. I really like these brushes, I find them very handy for travelling, which I do a lot of, but I also like the extra control that short-handled brushes give you. With full-sized brushed I end up holding them quite near to the actual brush anyway, so they may as well have shorter handles in my opinion! A few people raised issues about these brushes ‘shedding’ when I first published this video on Youtube, but I have found them to be fine – the powder brush did shed a little, but no more than I would expect from a new brush.

Define and Blend Brush Set includes 129SE, 190SE, 224SE, 242SE, 266SE and a bag. Shape and Perfect Brush Set includes 168SE, 187SE, 212SE, 219SE, 275SE and a bag. Both sets are £44 from MAC Travel Retail (airport counters!).
