oooh... i may get the tarte blush palette. i didn't get last year's cause i hated the glittery packaging. this one looks much better! ..and i already love tarte blushes so...

 
Part of me is like "ohh $350 for the Marc Jacobs lipgel set is a lot, and you already have two of them, Randi. Do you really need more?" the other part of me is "OHHH $350 is a good deal! you need all of those, plus backups for the two you do have!"

 
I just caved and bought the Tarte blush palette- it was the one major thing I knew I'd buy during the holiday week. I was going to wait for the 20% off VIB sale, but I'm afraid this will sell out as quickly as last year, so I went ahead and got it.

I'm not 100% sure I'll like the colors, but if that's the case I can either return it or resell it on Ebay... so I think it's worth it for the chance to check it out in person- I don't know if they'll get the testers in... but they may on Tuesday, so I might check it out Wednesday to see if it's in.

I think it's a Sephora exclusive this year, so that's another thing to keep in mind.

 
Agh I am so conflicted.  I am kicking myself for not buying that Tarte blush palette from Sephora last year.  I bought the Guy Bourdain Nars one instead and I hated it and no longer have it.  I was really excited for the Tarte one this year, but naturally I don't love the colors in it.  I'd rather get the colors in the 4 piece set from Tarte's site-- but will that be at Sephora or Ulta, or is it exclusive to their site?  And really I don't even NEED more blush.  
Last year, the mini four-blush set was only available on the Tarte site, so it will probably be the same this year.

I don't need any blush (but really, do any of us here really NEED anything?), but I'm a total blush collector and will probably be picking this up, along with the one on Tarte and the Ulta set as well.

 
Thank you!  I can't wait for the lip set. However, I MIGHT make VIB Rogue if I spend every dime at Sephora for the rest of my shopping so I am stalking the site. I guess Sephora rigs it like that. I love that there are some darker colors in this set, also. Though, with their formula even the dark colors will not look too vampy (boo, since that is what I like).

 
Just saw they were up at Sephora. They are in my cart, waiting to be joined by their Kat Von D Studded Kiss 'sisters' for free shipping. Though, it might be my monitor but they look more nude toned on the Sephora pic than they did on the Tarte site. I hope not - nude lipsticks look terrible on me and go to my drawer to die. My fingers are crossed, but I love the formula, so I'll still try it out.

I am really thinking of ordering Give Me More Lip today, since my daughter is due Wednesday, and then when I come home from the hospital I would have the perfect 'push present' waiting for me. I can justify almost anything makeup related. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And for those keeping track, yes, I am planning on getting about 5 lip sets. They are much more exciting than the eye sets I've seen. I will get the new launch from Sugarpill and Vice 3, but I don't even think I want the Urban Decay liner set this year. :unsure:  Too many neutrals, and I have too many of their neutral pencils from other sets. I tend to just use those as a base.

Thanks for this board! It's helped me stay on things so I don't miss anything, plus it is fun to learn there are people who care as much about this stuff as I do!

I read this too fast and I thought that your daughter was having a baby.  I was so confused. HAHA!  Anyway, congratulations and best wishes.  (Buy the Lip Set... and the Tarte blush palette!)

Congrats and good luck!  I think you should definitely have all kinds of makeup waiting for you when you get home!

 
Whoah, I got lucky! I picked up the Holiday MJ palette last night, as well as the LE nail laquer, because I am obsessed with deep blue nails - it was $18, I even double checked my invoice. Today, both Sephora and the MJ Beauty site list it for $24. :blink: I snuck in before the price adjustment and saved six bucks! :eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And whatever happened to those cool Milani galaxy looking eyeliners? Are they out yet? I can't find anything.

 
Marc Jacobs beauty has one hell of a TAT. I ordered at 2pm and got my shopping notice at 5:30 pm. Come to me pretties!

I've only found them at 2 CVS's out of like 5. But I did find them!! I'm going to be doing a blog post on them soon but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post my blog link! But keep an eye out!

Edit: link to the blog post. Not my blog. I don't read much Spanish but I'm unimpressed by the blush palette

Gah, I want the blush/bronzer palette and the lippies!! That orange color will NOT work for me, but the other four are still worth it for me! I wonder how much they cost???
