  1. Love your suggestions. If only I lived close enough so that you could come stuff my stocking!! I use my Macaron brush all the time. My granddaughter loves going through my purse and that's what she looks for first. I have a few Moda brushes and the quality is terrific for the price especially. I'm going to Ulta this week and checking out those Morgan Taylor Platinum polishes.
