I feel like I am the only one who is not going crazy over this vice palette, lol B)

Vice 3 is SO PRETTY... I'm mostly in love with the packaging.

I've overdosed on neutral shadows, so I'm not in love with it! Maybe if there were more bright colors... lol

I'm actually with ya. I like some of the colors, but nothing about it really calls out to me.
I'm starting to think UD eye shadow's just aren't my thing.

That's what I wish too.. the colors that I have remind me of a cross between electric and smoked which is fine, but I'd love some more differentiation in color and not so many neutrals.
I feel the same way. I have their Electric Palette and their Naked Basics Palette. I love both, but I don't think I need anymore UD eyeshadow.
I am VERY excited about UD's FULL FRONTAL Lipstick Stash though!

I think the packaging is nice, quite pretty, but other than that, it doesn't seem that different from anything else they've put out.
I used to love the names UD picked for their shadows, but now they're just kind of.... loosing their edge. Meanwhile, indie brands are showing how creative they are with their names!
That Lorac Mega Pro palette seems really amazing, but I am not tempted by that, nor was I by the Pro 2. I have Lorac Pro 1, love it, use it, but I don't really need another one... even if there are different colors. I guess I'm just not an eyeshadow person.
Instead, I kind of freak out about concealer, brow stuff, and lashes. Maybe the occasional blush. Hehee.
That being said, based on all the holiday sets shown so far this year, I think the only ones that are really tempting me are the Tarte blush palette, and I think that's it. I may get the Hourglass ambient lighting palette but I don't think I want the blush palette. I just don't like the colors as much as Tarte.
That being said, there are lots of other things I want! Like some of the Zoya Fall collection nail polishes (Ryan- a pretty navy blue, and Claire- my namesake, a burgundy). There are some indie things I want this year!!!!

There is a picture of the 2014 Benefit Advent Calendar on Beauty Talk - Sephora's chat page. Says it will retail for around $119 but I can't use the image on this website - not allowed.
That's a big price hike from last year right? I don't think I'll purchase it if it is around $119...unless those samples are bigger.

That is what they are saying on beauty talk, that it is a huge price increase. I personally have no idea, though. I read price last year was anywhere from $68 to $79, depending on where you lived (assuming the difference may be sales tax?).

Yes! Last year it was $68 (got it from Ulta for a bday present but I did wait till December to open). I also think the packaging looks juvenile, but that is my opinion.image.jpg

Looks to be a lot of the same stuff too. I wonder if they will have any of the little lip balms in it, or Majorette or Rockateur.

There is no way I'm going to pay $119 for it. Unless it has a bunch more stuff in it.
Yay!!! Thank you for the picture! It looks like there is some new products, along with classics like Benetint and the Porefessional. I am glad they are switching out the mascara this year though for They're Real! I really liked the Bad Gal Lash last year though, it is now one of my HG mascaras. Last year it was around 100, and they sold out like crazy. There were people on Ebay selling them for around $200 when they sold out!!!image.jpg

I will be getting it, no matter what the price is though! So excited! :laughno:
I want the UD Full Frontal set and the KVD Studded lip set. Do I need this much lipstick? No. Am I going to buy them anyway? Yes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I saw the Benefit advent on BT earlier today, read the supposed price, and almost fell off my chair. I bought mine last year from Macy's and I think I mostly enjoyed the novelty of it. Most of the items we've seen in sub boxes, GWPs, and free sample bags. For $119 one of the Ford sisters better crawl out from behind one of those doors and put the makeup on me.

I just checked my receipt for the benefit advent calendar from last year: It was $68 from Sephora with no discounts. And I still haven't used at least half of the things in it. If it was $68 again this year, I might get it (because the things I *do* use make it worth that much to me), but there's *no way* I would pay $119.

Yeah, last year they had a barrette, a necklace, and a bracelet. Both the necklace and bracelet were basically vending machine quality. It was a string with a thin, tin-like, charm attached.
