MAC Tartan Tale Chapter 1: Lip, Eye, and Brush Bags

Now we onto the Bags part of this collection, this time the bags are all plaid and I am excited that I might be able to reuse these awesome pouches and expand my plaid wardrobe. The bags in this part of the collection contain products that are designed for lips and eyes and some with smaller sizes of some of the MAC's best selling brushes. My list for this collection just get longer and longer every single time that I click on an item on the website.

MAC says, "Once upon a time a bonny lass was in a Scottish ska band. She couldn't just pick one look - punk or princess? - so she chose them all...fancy that. Her loot: the Lip, Eye, and Brush Bags from A Tartan Tale, here for every girl who wants to arrive at the ball in flawless fashion, with everything she needs in nifty, handsome, heathery tartan modern mash-ups, trimmed in shiny patent. Throw on your favorite tartan frock (knickers optional) and off you go, perfectly ready to raise a ruckus!"

I love the cute little bags, maybe even more than all the lovely makeup that is inside of them! My loves: Vain and Glorious Lip Bag (I love all the shades in this and the mini Baby Sparks alone is worth the whole price of the bag), Dazzle the Lads Lip Bag, Violet My Love Lash & Line Kit, all the brush bags. I love the bags from the brush collections since the bags are large enough that I could use them as a little wristlet. Makeup and accessories together has always been a favorite of mine and this collection is just fantastic.
