Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[Shalott]

Oh, god, after I said I wouldn't I ordered the MUFE Eyeshadow set. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  But i've been dying to try the Artist's Shadows and the palette is removable and...and...

At least I passed on the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lip Set. Looking at the colors, I know that those aren't colors I want, or I would have bought them all ready (case in point - Wonderchilde) so why waste my $40?

it was hard but I take a small comfort in successfully resisting, and now to wait for my new shadows. Still don't know if the Too Faced Everything Nice is going back or not...

@@eastofthesun - I feel much better today.. I slept all day like a baby yesterday. I'm in college but I swear that the other people in my classes are like little children (sneezing without covering their mouth, sniffling without blowing their nose, etc).. it's disgusting since I'm a pre-nursing student and the other students in my class are also in pre-nursing... =X

@@chelsealynn I think that I'll pass on the lip set.. I'm so unsure =/

I was also really liking the KVD set, but Temptalia's reviews convinced me otherwise.  There seemed to be so many shades she gave really poor ratings on.

It's a shame.  I loved so many of the colors but for some of them the formula was just bad.  I'd much rather spend my time/money on a lipstick that applies easily and is no fuss. I don't want to be messing around with my lipstick all day.  Even when I lined my lips with a clear liner I still had lipstick moving to other areas of my face and I never have problems with that.  Sad but the quality just isn't there for me.

edited to fix a sentence.

Temptalia's swatches are always so off from everyone else's swatches (and she's sort of notorious for this) so I never trust her swatches, but I usually trust her *reviews*.

Do you guys think the Tarte $175 set will be on Ulta? It doesn't say Sephora exclusive...

I might just pick up a single kvd lipstick instead of minis... everyone loves minis but I'm just like meh!

I personally don't think that her swatches her off since everyone's lighting is different BUT her comparison/recommendations/dupes is WAY OFF.

Edit: I'll try to find one of her dupes and give an example /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

THANK YOU. Christine's lighting is SO bright, I swear her swatches are always washed out x100, but performance reviews are usually great. I wouldn't call myself a slave to reviews but man, when you buy so much of something you have to know where to cut corners! :lol:

Also, Lorac Mega Pro will be on Ulta, right?

OKAY! I finally found an example:

TEMPTALIA: "Roxo is described as a “deep red [with an Amplified finish].” It’s a medium-dark, blue-based red with a satiny sheen. It’s just slightly muted overall. It had mostly opaque color coverage, and it applied evenly and smoothly. The color wore for six hours on me, plus left a stain behind, but I had some slight feathering along the upper lip line. Urban Decay Gash (LE, $22.00) is slightly brighter. MAC Just a Bite (LE, $16.00) is redder. NARS Mascate (P, $26.00) is more matte. MAC Charmed, I’m Sure (LE, $16.00) is a touch lighter. MAC Absolute Power (LE, $16.00) is similar.See comparison swatches / view dupes."



Picture taken by me: ROXO is on the left / ABSOLUTE POWER is on the right

I should've swatched GASH too but they're all different not even "similar"

The only listick I had a major issue with applying was Motorhead. I will say that it is not the nicest formula I own but I've had worse (looking at you melted) I think its going to require more prep than say UD but I like the colors and the set. Not Fs but maybe Cs, B-s. I don't read Temptalia her swatches/ reviews are not in line with my needs/ values. The KVD SET comes to less than $5 a lip of course it's not going to be superb. I bought for the colors and packaging.

The Ambient Lighting Blush Palettes are at the Downtown Disney Sephora according to the Sephora Website. I was hoping to stop by last week when I was at Disneyland but there was so much too do and too little time!

 

[tweakabell]

Disneyland and Makeup, is there a better combination :wub:

I haven't had any problems with any of the full size KVD lipsticks that I own (Archangel, Cathedral, Le École des Femmes, Wolvesmouth, Wonderchilde) but I've also noticed that none of those have gotten much in the way of reviews. I think they are fantastic, but I've heard almost universally that the nude/pale shades are terrible. So, I wouldn't buy any, because I can find plenty of nudes elsewhere.

The darker mattes seem to be better, and the glittery/shimmery shades are the best by far. But I don't find any of mine drying or problematic to apply. *shrugs* The only other colors I want are Poe and Lolita and both seem fine from swatches.

I guess it all depends on expectation, too - I know a lot of people expected the formula to be more similar to the old Painted Love (? Is that even right?) and were unhappy when it wasn't. Anyways, what I am saying is that if you want the set, buy it, and if you love it then Yes! and if you don't then Aww... but to each their own right? B)

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Ah, I just bought the KVD lip set & the smaller Buxom lip set. 

Now I have those coming + the Give Me More Lip set + the Tarte lip surgence set. I'm going to have to start changing my lipstick every hour or something. 

 

[tweakabell]

And that's my issue with Temptalia reviews for me personally. I'm a realist, to give a product an F is to call it a failure which would mean it would literally have to do NOTHING for me. I think the sparkly ones are a better formula (what used to be foiled love)

 

[Shalott]

Ahh, Foiled Love! I've been foiled by the Foiled in the name!

... don't mind me, it's been one of those days. :lol:

Thank you  :blush:    

I always like minis.  I love trying to use things up and with minis I feel as though I could possibly accomplish that.  However, with the amount of stuff I have that's probably still not a possibility  :laughing:

Lorac said on their facebook it will be exclusive to the website and Amazon. And it's not coming out till 10/7

New Tarte set up on Sephora for $10

I'm sorry I don't know how to include a picture, but it's a mini Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in a soft peachy pink color, and a mini Cheek stain in a champagne highlighter shade (i'm guessing this shade is supposed to be used as a highlighter and not a cheek tint)
