Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[normajean2008]

I want that Nars lip pencil set!  It looks like the orange one is probably Timanfaya, which is a dupe for me if it is, but a back up is good.  I love that color!  It is pretty flattering if you like orangey reds.  It is like a Mandarin red color, not straight up orange.  I'd probably give the red one away in a gift at Christmas, and those pinks look so pretty.  

Does anybody know if this will be an October release yet?  Or November?  Hopefully it'll be out by my bday in Nov! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@ohsailor Usually every Wed from 10am-2pm CST they have a beauty break, it's usually with a $50 purchase, but not always.  They occasionally do it at other times/days too.  And sometimes they offer more than 1 at a time.

Well I have all the swatches of the Too Faced Everything Nice Set, Urban Decay Lip Frontal Lip Stash, and Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette BUT I'll post them later after I get some rest!

Did anyone else get the Too Faced Everything Nice Set? I had to scratch the top portion on several of the eyeshadows to get decent pigmentation. The eyeshadows just didn't feel buttery and soft. I'll have to play with it more but for now it's "OKAY" - nothing to go crazy for. Meh =/ I feel like I'll be returning this set!

EDIT TO ADD: Th[SIZE=14.6666669845581px]e palette DOES NOT fit inside the bag! The bag was just GLITTER BOMB CENTRAL and it went all over my white desk. The brushes are so soft - not to mention adorable with the gold handles. Also, the blushes and bronzer were very pigmented and easy to work with but the highlighter just felt ROCK SOLID with barely any pigmentation unless I packed it on.[/SIZE]

Thank you guys! I've just switched over from being a diehard Sephora shopper for the past... 12 years? to Ulta, since the point perks are no longer worth it for me at Sephora and I'd rather save cash, but I'm still learning how Ulta works /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I bought it, but I haven't done anything with it yet other than to open the box and look. Didn't swatch, nothing. I'm on the fence about returning.

The Ambient Blush palette, however (which I was also on the fence about) is BEAUT. I already had Luminous Flush, so I knew that one was good, but Incandescent Electra and Mood Exposure are so pretty, too. All of mine are nicely pigmented, but that depends a lot on how much veining of the lighting powder you get, and mine are nicely proportioned. It's not back in stock @ Sephora (and still showing Rouge only) but Temptalia says the other sites should be getting it in October.

Oh noooo! That Smashbox palette is a great deal. >:0 I want it. I might ask for that instead of MegaPRO. My mom adores Smashbox- I hope they get it in at Shoppers. Do you know if the On the Rocks palette is an Ulta exclusive or not?

 

[CharstarWishes]

I picked up UD Vice 3 & UD Frontal Lipstick Stash.

Today, (I always forget to wait for GWP deals)

Used my ulta reward I saved up for $50, & $51 from my cashed out Pinecone Reseach reward points, so my Urban Decay only cost me $2.41!

I'm super happy, also got 3x reward points I activaed in my email this morning.

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.  

you hated it but i looooooved it and its probably my best/favorite swap ever in the history of forever.

i totally feel the same way about Tarte. I have a good "wishlist" going but I'm realizing that the majority of my "wishlist" items I was able to get via swaps (like if there were only a few colors I wanted) or able to get much later on at a pretty good discount (i'm looking at you, too faced).

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. /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.  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!

Congrats! Hope all goes well.

I knew you would post this because you said you stalk the what's new section at ulta lol! I really want to hold out for a 20% off code so hopefully most of it sticks around until then.

You know it!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I love that Ulta is on CST so they update at midnight their time which is 10pm here before I go to bed so I can have makeup dreams dancing in my head!

just wondering... why are you on the fence about returning the Too Faced Palette? I think that I just got a "bad one" since everyone is raving about it.

oooh you're making me excited on the Hourglass Ambient Blush Palette - mine should be coming on Thursday!

It's online now!!  As well as Tarte Holiday 2014 and the rest of UD Holiday!  WHEEEE.  I want it all!

Anyone getting (or already have) the Too Faced Under the Mistletoe La Creme lipstick set?  I'm intrigued by them but not completely sold on it yet.  I like shimmery lip colors and the La Creme formula....

I love that they do that too! That way I can order 21 days of beauty sales the night before. Today was the only day I was interested in so I placed an order last night and decided to check the what's new section and immediately thought of you lol

 

[Kimb3rly]

You guys!!!  Google "Lush Christmas 2014".  I'll wait.

I am damn near hyperventilating.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   I want it all!  October 3rd is the day for the US site and Oct 4th for the UK site.

I spy new Philosophy too!  Love their holiday scents!  Almond glaze is my fave!!!

Also, not holiday but, I'm betting next week's ad for Ulta will be their 8.99 hair care sale for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Yay!

I don't have them but I saw a review on vampy varnish that showed them settling into lip lines quite a bit so I'm on the fence as well. Jelly Bean is one of my favorite lipsticks so I'd like to try a few more. I'm just not sure these would be flattering.
