Wearing Candy Cane Lipstick from the MAC Nutcracker Sweet Red Lip Bag

It?s hard to talk about something that?s isn?t quite inspiring, but also isn?t junk.
I mean, I?ve been sitting here for gosh knows how long trying to say that I like the Red Lip Bag more than the Nude Lip Bag, but I think they?re both good deals.
These two bags are from the MAC Nutcracker Sweet holiday collection, and in the plus column, they come with three full-size MAC products ? a Vamplify gloss (LOVE the Vamplifies), a Pro Longwear Lip Pencil and a Lipstick ? for $39.50, but I wish they also came with a MAC sharpener, because I have a bunch of Pro Longwear Lip Pencils, and I?ve tried sharpening them with other pencil sharpeners, like the Chanel one and the Urban Decay one, but the only sharpeners that work well with them (for me) are from MAC. When I sharpen the Pro Longwears with other sharpeners, the tips get stubby and easily break. And the actual pencil part doesn?t sharpen correctly either. It?s weird. I ended up getting a MAC sharpener specifically to sharpen my Pro Longwears, so if you do get one of these bags (or one of the MAC Pro Longwears), seriously, get yourself a sharpener too. It?ll help.
As for the two bags themselves, honestly, maybe a little snooze-worthy?but it all depends on whether you already have the goodies. For $39.50, you get items worth $58, which could be a great deal.
