Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[Bikerchic]

That Sugar & Spice palette really does look pretty uninspired.....

 

[viccckyhoang]

Oh my god, this palette looks so... undewhelming!! I'm so glad I got the Everything Nice Set... it just got delivered, I'll take some high res photos and upload some swatches for you guys today

I got the Everything Nice set too and I definitely agree that the Sugar and Spice set is sooo underwhelming even though it only costs $39 (last year's set even looks better than this!!!)

Thank you!  My hubby will be fine, lots of road rash but he fared better than the bike.  I decided to get Desperation, I love gray/taupe shades and realized I don't have any that are matte.

Desperation is one of my favorites - ESPECIALLY as a base! Yay for free gifts :]

When I was about 15, Too Faced was my go-to brand but now I just find the stuff cheesy and uninspired. I will admit that they make some great products but nothing about the brand invites me in.

I ABSOLUTELY love desperation! Best eyeliner color ever in my opinion, and I think it will look incredible with DTF from Vice 3.

I used to love Too Faced as well, but now the only products I like are the La Creme lipsticks and Better Than Sex Mascara.  I haven't been tempted by any of their palettes in a very long time. 

And I'm happy to hear I made a good liner choice!  I have about 20 of UD's 24/7 liners but my collection is seriously lacking in matte shades.  Desperation looks so pretty.  I can't wait to get it.

Too Faced's Sugar and Spice - $39 (ULTA EXCLUSIVE)

PIC is from vampyvarnish - She also has swatches on her blog!

I'm not happy with this one so I'll be sticking w/ the Sephora exclusive "Everthing Nice Set" for $56

Lol I actually really like it, I just don't need it. I love that the newer palettes have had mirrors in them! My old Boudire Eyes palette just has a dumb pamphlet.

Yeah, I guess that $39 isn't bad for this palette considering their permanent eyeshadow palettes only have 9 shades in them.. the packaging is pretty too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like it, don't get me wrong, it's just that it doesn't have that holiday pizzazz I'm looking for in the set. I think Joy to the Girls from last year was a more successful color selection because it gave you more choices.

Would I love Sugar & Spice if it was gifted to me? ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!!! I'm just not running out to buy it myself, because this is one of those things I could see ending up on their 50% off website sale mid year 2015 (that's how I got the original Joy to the Girls and Be Merry & Be Bright sets)

It's hard to come out with all neutral palettes nowadays, I just feel like my collection is soooo saturated with them .. I mean just off the top of my head: Smashbox Full Exposure, Naked 1-3, Lorac Pro, Chocolate Bar palette, Naked Basics, UD Pulp FIction.... at the end of the day, that's a whole lotta neutral, lol >.< I can't justify getting more

I really like too faced shadows and bronzer, but I'm swimming in shadow.

Thank you! I specifically changed it to that one because I was excited to show off UD Lady Flower.

I'm so jealous D; My Urban Decay order shipped out on the 15th but the tracking isn't working so I'm gonna call them tomorrow to just cancel it since I ended up ordering the stuff off of Sephora plus the Too Faced set =( I have the WORST luck ever so I've just been using the Urban Decay lipsticks that I already have (69, Anarchy, Catfight, Jilted, and Venom)..

Here's Anarchy:



I doubt that my stuff will come before my weekend trip getaway =/ and I start school next week ._.

i also LOVE ladyflower! that's what i have on right now. i love the set and the color selections - just wish that the minis are bigger lol. the lip liner looks promising!

That sweet, sweet, foolish man.

I know right?!  He did not know what he was getting himself into.  When he saw visions of makeup dancing in my head and dollar bills in my eyes, he retracted and stated I could spend $200 and anything over I have to pay for myself!  Still super generous but i have to try and maximize my discounts, coupons etc to get the most value!

@@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. 

I have the Joy to the Girls from last year and I do not think I have used it!  I really like the Everything Nice set even though I will not use the blush or bronzer and it seems there are no good way to extract them with out ripping the palette in half!

i got the giant too faced palette from last year, and ended up selling it on ebay. just didn't find much use for it when i already have 342934230958 eyeshadows!
