Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[kaitlin1209]

Hmm do we think Vice 3 will appear at Sephora or Ulta in a timely manner? I can't remember how Vice 2 went last year bc I had zero interest in those colors.

I can't imagine many people would want to spend $100.00 on the Benefit Advent Calendar.

@@viccckyhoang : another person with a big family! Counting all my step and half siblings, I have 16! The holiday season is total chaos, different parties with different parts of the family all throughout the month.  I always start my gift shopping months in advance, so it helps a bit taking some of the stress off Oct-Dec.

Can't wait to see your swatches of Vice 3!!! Those pink/berry colors look so intriguing!

Now that UD has posted a release date for Vice 3, I am eagerly anticipating a release date for the lip set!!! Put us out of our misery UD!!

That's bull! Why all the crappy little hair ties? And no mini of lollitint? Why even bother? Benefit is a joke right now.

Yes, if it's really over $100, Benefit is going to be really upset about their flop. It'll be in Sephora's Clearance section in no time.

If the listed retail price is over $100 for the benefit Advent Calendar... it's possible that their plan is to actually have it sell when it's put on sale (as in, put it on sale so people will think they're getting a better deal... but the sale price is actually the true "retail price"). Urban Decay did this with their Deluxe Shadow Box (retail at $38, but their intention was to have it sell for $10); there are also a bunch of other examples.

Do you guys know if the KVD set will be the same price as last year's?

Yeah, I was thinking something like this too. Benefit doesn't seem that out of touch. Especially considering that they constantly have sample sets for sale at reasonable prices. It'll probably say something like, "Retail Value: Over $100. Price: $65" (Or whatever it is their calendar usually sells for).

 

[lovepink]

Just chiming in to say Benefit Advent is a pass for me.  Lots of repeats from last year (that I still have not got around to using!  SO MANY SAMPLES, is my life).

And hooray for Vice 3!  Now the question is  instant gratification getting it from UD or wait until it releases at Ulta and save money (have points) and get ebates?  Decisions, decisions!

Also lets all hope they release the lippie set Friday too! lol

 

[Luxx22]

Still trying to find that perfect combination, but not willing to spend 100$ on samples /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> especially on stuff I might not even use. Its a cute idea though. I think a price point for 40$ is decent.

Love it! I want the shadows all over my face right now!

Is there a benefit to buying it directly from UD (besides getting it earlier)? Kinda wanna get reward points from Ulta for it.

we'll have to wait and see what the "exclusive offer" is for that day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

btw, just a side note not related to the response above, some people are saying that Urban Decay is releasing it way too early (not on here but on other pages) - just wanted to say that every year they have released the Vice palettes in September.. how do I know? I just took a look back at my blog posts >.< haha but I can't wait for the swatches which will be later revealed from all the big bloggers!

 

[tacehtpuekam]

I'll definitely be grabbing Vice 3, but I think I'll wait until Sephora does their discount for VIBs (assuming they'll do that again this year). I think it was October-ish last year. 

I'll be grabbing the mini lipstick set right away when they release that though, because I can definitely see that selling out quickly!

Well, I don't know about benefits, but if you buy it direct from UD it's a guarantee it won't get to you until every other outlet has it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  UD has the slowest shipping in the world!

They really do. They used to have where you could pick if you wanted UPS or USPS and USPS was insanely fast for me, buuuut of course they don't have that anymore. UPS takes forever and ever.

Really? I think that their shipping is pretty good - ONLY if you pick USPS since they use PRIORITY MAIL and that takes 1-3 days depending how close/far you're from their shipping center... I usually get mine in 3-4 days with processing and shipping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

EDIT: didn't realize that they no longer offer USPS.. what the fuuudge?!
