Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[wadedl]

Have we discussed the new Laura Mercier Artist's Palette? http://www.sephora.com/artists-palette-for-eyes-cheeks-P389540?skuId=1642388&om_mmc=oth-bt-richlinks-2013

I'm pretty bummed if this is the only one being offered. I am STILL kicking myself for passing on last year's holiday Artist Palette...I had already bought way too much that holiday season when I decided I wanted it and wanted to show some restraint. And I've been lemming over swatches ever since, even now! I was hoping this year's palette would be comparable so I could fill the void, but no dice. That bronzer in the middle just ruins it for me, and I was hoping for some purple tones again (African Violet!).

Well, looks like I have an unexpected opening in the purchasing schedule for this season!

Only the $125 set has African Violet. I am going to run out of African Violet in my Artist Palette from last year already.

I'm in the same boat as you ladies, and I refuse to pay $130 on eBay for one now. I hate eBay.

 

[wadedl]

I am hoping there is an Artist Palette coming to at least one store with African Violet but if not this set will have to do. I think the Nordstrom Artist Palette for spring was close to $100 so maybe that is why they did it this way.

this woman buys everything - she also has a corgi and a munchkin cat (sooo cute and random) hahaha

Hahaha I love Tarababyz, she DOES buy everything, she also does some pretty out-there makeup looks that I'm a big fan of.

I think she also has a cute kitten now too.

I ordered the Too Faced Carousel set and the Too Faced Everything Nice palette (still in transit, should get it tomorrow!! EEP!!)

I have some swatches if you're interested! I love the set personally and I'm looking forward to Sugar & Spice AND Everything Nice palettes... I really regretted not purchasing A Few of my Favorite things last year, so this time i'm going full Too Faced haha

@@lethalglam I loved your blog post on this!! Great swatches and review...now I want it!

 

[lethalglam]

@@SaraP you know honestly, it's really great because I have a ginormous collection at this point (don't we all, amirite?!) and the smaller things are the more of them I can fit into those letter-holder organizers on my makeup desk, haha... 1st world problems for sure.

I heard that the African Violet (and all the colors) put out in the spring Artist's Palette were no where near comparable to the quality of those in the Holiday Palette (which I also didn't buy. It was sold out before I knew I wanted it, LOL).

So I'd definitely wait to get swatches/reviews on anything newly released, especially if it is upwards of $100!

Please excuse me, I am just dying over the Skin Wonderland set here, because I can see a deluxe size of the L'Occitane Amande Oil, my favorite EVER. And that Buxom Roulette? I'd be in trouble if I liked Buxom glosses. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The Little Nirvana gift sizes! It's all so cute, I want it all!

Is it just me or is this what a Rouge event should look like???

 

[wadedl]

I want so many things from that event! Those brushes in gold and clear are so pretty! The Hello Kitty bag!

@@Shalott I don't like to buy without seeing and touching first so I hope its not just online the whole time.

 

[ohsailor]

@@Shalott can you post the buxom picture? i'm blind and can't find it :'(

That Benefit balm/tint set WILL be mine!!!

 

[lovepink]

Husband just enabled me to buy "whatever makeup I want!"  I just ordered give me more lip.  Will order Vice 3 when it hits Ulta so I can save $12 (points, woo hoo).  Debating on Too Faced palettes.  Now that I have carte blanche I am having a hard time remembering what it was I wanted to buy. lol.  Have to go back and check my posts.

So excited for my UD lippies which should be here Friday!  Thank goodness the 100 degree temps are over so they do not melt before I get home!

That sweet, sweet, foolish man.

@ - I felt the same way with regards to last years palette - was gutted that they never restocked it!  But not even slightly interested in this years...at least that keeps my on my low buy lol

So far - I'm only lusting after ONE set...

My girl has a small list though...but her birthday will be post black friday sales so I'm hoping to do some of the shopping during those sales.  That bite set looks good!

I'm really bummed - we had a nasty leak in our apartment and ruined the stuff that I had been hoarding for her & my nieces gifts.  I had stuff like Naked 3 palettes hidden in the room that had a burst pipe!  

 

[lethalglam]

Is it just me or is that Tarte Bon Voyage Gift Set just so ... bland??!?!? Wow the packaging even looks SO similar to last year's.... ugh step up your game Tarte or else I won't be buying anything from you! The promo image looks a million times better than the IRL version...

@@lovepink don't DEBATE the Too Faced palettes, omg just get!!! I literally have everything from last year (and let's face it, this year is just a total repeat for all the makeup lines, haha) and the ONLY thing I use is the Too Faced stuff, the color selection is amazing in their holiday palettes (I don't own any of their regular sets because they don't even do it for me). Too Faced is a company that really excels in their holiday sets, IMO and you get an awesome value, they just throw in so much stuff for such a great value.
