Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[tacehtpuekam]

I have so many things that I want to buy still... Can't pull the trigger for some reason.

Umm I bought so many things last week that my bank froze my account for suspicious activity lol

Oops! :blush: I'm done now, I swear. 

ETA: What's on your wish list? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm waiting for the Guerlain Meteorites to come out, I want them and will buy them but I am torn on the following:

Vice 3

Hourglass Blush Palette

Josie Maran Winter Dreams Skincare Collection

i was able to get last year's smudge stick set (which was a good number of them... like 5? 6?) for $12 at Nordstrom Rack so I'm having a really hard time seeing the value in that!

I love Stila's liquid eyeliners, and Nordstrom Rack sells them for around $3 a pop, so I'm like you... I absolutely LOVE their liquid eyeliner, but I won't be paying $200+ dollars for them!

Urban Decay has a lipstick set called Full Frontal.  It's got 6 mini lipsticks and a clear liner.  I bought it and love it!  Urban's lipstick formula is fantastic, and it's available at Ulta!  The Tarte lipsurgence lip pencils are nice and I think Ulta also has a set of those. 

Thank you! I've been considering Full Frontal as opposed to Kat Von D's set (not at Ulta, but I've been eyeing it too, still). Do you think UD is a better choice? I'm also willing to get almost everything Tarte so thanks for that tip too. I also really like Benefit Christmas blush set  :wub:

UD is def a better formula than the KVD and thats comimg from someone who likes the KVD try UD before KVD

 I got both sets the full frontal set is better . The lipsticks in the kat von d set are very dry.

 I would also recommend anything at all Nars makes.

Yes, I think UD's lipstick formula is much better than the KVD.  They're the same price and you get more shades with KVD but I still think the UD set is a better value as all 6 of the lipsticks are great!  Gash is the most flattering red I've ever worn!

 

[Bikerchic]

Will do! It was supposed to come yesterday but they changed delivery to today, so hopefully it's here soon!

I was feeling the same way about it..didn't buy it when it first came out, but for $16? Absolutely! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Since I have zero self control, I went ahead and ordered the Pulp Fiction palette :blush: I just couldn't say no to a $16 palette!  I do really like the warm matte brown in it and most of my matte shades aren't very warm toned, so that totally justifies my purchase :smilehappyyes: I also got the Tarte Pigment of Imagination set, the highlighter looks so pretty.

Thank you all, it's gonna be UD then!

Oh I have waaay more than that in my liner collection. I want a full spectrum of just liners /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but I also got 5 for 15 last year and theres not much COLOR in the smudgestick set at least so I'll probably pass

Ooops, hehe- sorry! No judgement intended. I was just super surprised at that many because I've never really seen that many together at once. Also, I'm biased because I hardly ever wear eyeliner- I am crap at applying it, so I have just given up. Hehehe!

Oh my gosh, girl! You make me feel so much better about my purchases lately, hehehe. It would be super fun to shop with you!

....

As for my wishlist.... I think I'll return the Tarte Pin Up blush palette to Sephora. I think I will purchase.... I'm just not sure, to be honest. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Try NYX as well, if you don't have it where you are! The Macaron lippies and liquid liners are nice.

Thanks, we have NYX but I haven't tried any lippies besides butter glosses so I may get some tomorrow. We do have some more popular brands mentioned like Benefit, bareminerals, MAC, MUFE, TheBalm but the selection of goodies is usually quite poor. We don't have Tarte, Urban Decay, Too Faced, Kat von D, Stila, Nars, Lush... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I sometimes get some things on Polish auction sites (but it's really expensive as quite many people bid on them and it's hard to be sure if they're not fakes) or when I go abroad.

I have been wearing Gash non stop since I got the full frontal set! Can't wait to get it in full size.  I have a TON of reds but that one is making its way to the top of pile for sure

I just got a bunch of the NYX matte lipsticks on sale this week and they are fabulous! I like them more than the Maybelline creamy mattes everyone's been raving about

lol I knew what you meant /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think sets like those are like brush sets you buy a set to have choice and work from there on what your needs are.

I just returned a whole bunch of things to sephora and left with store credit left I think I broke the universe.

It is probably just a lip chemistry thing.. I liked it going on, they just faded super incredibly fast, making them not worth the extra cost.  Actually, if I spent the time in person finding a good nude/mmlb type color that isn't so noticeable while fading I'd probably like it, lol.

We'll start a club, lol, I just did that last weekend myself!  I wish they'd give a gift card you can use online as well.  Too many "online only" products and stuff not in stock in a timely manner in store. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 

[tweakabell]

I checked out the lighting powder palette and decided it would just be best if I chose a color I liked, my favorite was of course the palette exclusive so I bought ethereal light instead. I have $20 left on the store credit card can you use them at SinJCP?

I just found the formula to be too similar to others with a lower price point, in regards to the TF lipsticks. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am definitely using the poo out of the ones I got though! I've also ordered an Audacious lipstick that should come... soon... (NARS is rivaling Too Faced and UD for slowest shipping) and hopefully that will live up to hype! I'm actully really, really excited to try it because I was quite pleased with the swatches I did at Sephora.

(Long story short I went online to NARS because I heard they were selling colors Sephora wasn't and then I ended up buying Jane, which I am pretty sure you can get from Sephora anyways, LOL.)

Holiday-related, I got my MUFE eyeshadow set today and I am actually quite disapppointed. I guess I didn't realize how tiny the shadows were going to be, but only 12 tiny shadows for nearly $60 feels cheap to me. I love the travel case it comes in, but not enough to make up for the shadows. I wish I had some of the Artist's Shadows already, so I would know how the quality is. I think for noe it is going in the maybe, maybe not drawer with the Too Faced set. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
