Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[avarier]

I saw that sephora has a matching game on the main page. I just thought I would point this out in case anybody is thinking of purchasing from the site. You can win 10% off, a mini sample, or points. Just an fyi!

Also, just as a heads up, you don't actually have to play the game. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> There's a button on the right that will take you straight to the code. 

I actually love matching games so I've been playing, but for those of you who don't have that kind of time...

I got my mini holiday tarte duo (mini blush/cheek stain highlighter).  SO stinking cute!  I was worried a little bit that the blush would be too pale/non pigmented, but it is great.  And the highlighter is awesome.  It reminds me of the cheek stain "loving" but with more highlighting shimmer in it, and half as dark, but the same pinky base color in it between them. 

I have to remember to pick a few more up for Christmas gifts!

I don't know if I'm up for face pics tonight, still all pms-y broken out.. but I can go do some hand swatches for sure. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Depending on how the face pics look I might post one.  Report back soon! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Did anyone see the new MAC holiday on Temptalia today? The stuff with the cameos? The Keepsakes Natural Face palette... Hopefully I don't like it in person  :laughno:

Okay, here's some pics of the Tarte Pigment of Imagination mini duo.  Excuse the dark circles, somebody needs some sleep! lol  

The hand swatches have blended out highlighter, a thick swipe of highlighter, and the blush by itself.  On my face pic it is blush with highlighter blended into the top of the cheeks.  Took pics in different lighting since it is hard to see accurate at night in here.  I put a bottle of nail polish next to them in one pic to show scale.

Totally different. 

The Tarte has a pink/copper shimmer/base vs. Watt's up having a silvery champagne shimmer/base.

The Tarte goes on smooth and cool just like the regular cheek stains, and blends in easily vs. Watt's up (for me) being drier/draggy on application, and either doesn't blend in nice or blends too much to notice.  

I think the Tarte is a more flattering color, and could easily be used with almost any blush and not clash-be it warm or cool toned.  I don't have a Watt's up anymore (it hit the trash can after a couple weeks of struggling with it), so I can't do pic comparisons.  Tarte hands down wins in my opinion between the two.

I'll be picking several sets up as Christmas gifts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Ulta near me had some of the Tarte Holiday stuff out on display to test, but not all of it. The SiJCP that I went to Saturday evening had a few of their 'Sephora Favorites' on display, like the Give Me More Lip set, but hardly had any of the other holiday stuff in store, much less on display.

I kind of really want to get that set too... but I feel like I need to test the ones that aren't exclusive, just to make sure they look good on me.

I kind of doubt they'll do a full size set... I think they've already released all their holiday offerings. I could be wrong, but I just don't think they will.

I also heard that Sephora (at least the one near me) gets new stuff in on Tuesdays.

Not sure about the meteorites, though. I thought those weren't going to be released for a while now.

You have an awesome wishlist!

I think it has something to do with them being uploaded to your blog. Sometimes when I try to attach an image from a blog it does that- it just depends on the image host. But what you could do is upload them directly from your computer rather than your blog. To do that, you have to click on "More reply options" and it'll open the big reply window with more options. Then scroll to the bottom of the reply box and you'll see "Attach Files" and you can browse to them on your comp and attach them. Hope that helps!

I really hope so. I'm not sure, but the Ulta rep told me they were getting 'holiday Lorac palettes' on the 7th.... but I'm not positive if that counts the MEGA Pro, because I really want that, but I also really, really want to swatch it before buying.

Anyone know much about Lorac's return policy?

THANK YOU! I will do that!

I think I have effectively talked myself out of the Lorac Mega Pro...

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

Guerlain Meteorites are available for purchase on Sephora's site. Ordered them using a 10% off code, and flash 2 day because the order I placed on Bloomingdales won't ship until November 5th.

 

[wadedl]

I bought my Meterorites! I should have gone to pick them up at Fashion Valley but my kids are on minimum day schedule today for the first day back from break and I'd feel rushed.

Here are a few new things... I think!

10 24/7 for $52 on Sephora

We know about the Louboutin nail lacquers, but this is a 'nail care' kit for $55 on Sephora.

Thanks for the MegaPRO swatches!! I'm still in love with this palette, but am sad that Indigo doesn't look as cool as one early swatch by the company led me to beleive.

There appears to also be a few new limited edition sets on Sephora:

1. Tata Harper set for $48

2. Boscia Tsbuki set for $48

3. Ren set for $55
