Thank you for letting us know! I want the blush set. Now that we know the Tarte Blushes with the 6 LipSurgence is a $175 vault (cry) I will probably skip it. I think I'll get the benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot and possibly the Hourglass Blush Pallet, along with the Too Faced Melted Kisses. All that and it is still less money! Of course, if the Husband goes on vacation and I can't go (long story) that vault might make a good 'vacation'....

(Just for the record, we have been planning this trip for a while. Our daughter is still not here. She just refuses to be born. She is now a week late, which makes it just to the point where I can't go. I need to stay with her. We are meeting people and other friends are going on the trip, so the husband is torn. I am not the type to be like, "You can't go no matter what", but I am they type to feel justified with a pretty newly colored smile afterward....)

Benefit Holiday set pages Remember they aren't available for purchase until 10/1

UPS will be in my area (imagine that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  ) so my giant Ulta order will be here today not tommorrow!

$175 for the Tarte set definitely puts it out of my spending comfort zone!  I guess for some reason I thought they were the deluxe sizes.  I think the Hourglass palette will be my blush purchase for the holidays.

Yikes, $175 is too much for that Tarte set. I'd rather just collect the blushes over time than fork over a chunk of change for shades I can't even choose.

 

[tweakabell]

It's not that it's a bad price it's just out of my makeup splurging zone for one product (even though it's technically 12)

Just curious... with all the holiday palettes getting posted and me being close to vib at Sephora, I keep seeing mention of a 20% off code. Do they usually have a discount code this time of year?

 

The Kat Von D lip set and eyeshadow book are online now at sephora, they wont sell out in the next couple days will they?

They did have a 20% off event open to VIB's around early November last year. I remember I bought all of my holiday sets during that sale and the only thing sold out was the Laura mercier palette. All the kat von d, tarte, buxum, bite beauty, urban decay, even the hourglass palette was still there. I guess it would depend on demand though.

I got my Tarte Bon Voyage set yesterday!!! Just in case anyone would like my thoughts on it.

And OMG I forgot all about the advent calendar! Last year I did not get it but swore I'd get it this year but now I've sworn on no more holiday sets. Wah! It looks so awesome...

Yes yes share thoughts! Always looking due more opinions!

So I got around to trying all of the lipsticks in the Kat Von D set.  I'm not as happy as I though I would be  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> .  The colors included are great.  I tried them all on and I was surprised by how many of them I liked on me (even the orange!).  Some of the colors just had a terribly dry formula which made them hard to apply and patchy.  So I know that even though I like some of the colors I'm not going to want to bother applying them because of the formula.  Some of the mattes were also very drying, I know this is a common issue with mattes but still annoying.  I'm thinking I'll just return it but I'm still sad about it.  I really loved some of the colors that were in the set.  I think when I return it I'm going to pick up a full size of one of the ones that I liked.

I have heard that so many times about that collection!! Temptalia gave a lot of them D's and even F's!! From what I hear the formula is very inconsistent which is a shame.

Thanks ! Wow that's so cool...I guess you could get any kind of combo. Kinda makes me want to open each box and check what combo I get before I buy... hahah! I checkekd out your blog also and they look really good on you!

Wow, the photo of that makes the colors look way different from what I saw. It makes Fawn more yellow, Indigo less amazing, Deep Teal less deep and less teal... I guess I should wait to check this baby out in stores before I decide. Is it going to be a permanent thing, or is this a limited edition? I'm afraid it's just going to be a holiday thing....

Look at the difference:

Yeah, that's really too bad. I tried her shade 'Wolvesmouth' at Sephora and it wasn't too bad in terms of dryness but it wasn't a matte. I really like that shade, it's so pretty!

UHG! Everything is backwards and upside down. Sorry!

The eyeshadows were what reeled me in and they are gorgeous! Very build able. You have to build them to get a great pigmentation which is fine by me because I always fear too much over too little. Several mattes.

Lip sergence is the smaller of the two swatches and is pretty pink. The gloss is the longer swatch and smells like vanilla. I have been wanting to try lip sergence. I just wish it had been a more Fall color since I'm not really wearing pink lips right now. But they are very nice too.

The travel set is cute! It has an elastic portion which houses the shadows. Also a cheap plastic tray that I'll just throw away. Hold on, let me see what I forgot...

I just got a Tarte single blush in my Sephora package today.   I think that's it for me on the blush.  I was considering the lip/blush set but, nah, too much product for me right now.

Call me crazy, but I swear now that I know how to apply my Ambient lighting powder, it gives me a lot of color.  I have to tone down the blush/bronzer, etc or it looks like summer is still here.  I like the look but, less color is in order.  My Tarte blushes will last forever.

Glad to hear your thoughts on this. I knew Temptalia's reviews were terrible on these and her reviews are usually spot on for me so it's good to hear someone else concur with her thoughts! Really too bad about the dryness as the colors do seem to be unique.
