Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[Shalott]

I need @@Shalott to tell me point-blank whether she thinks the Meteorites are going to sell out soon or if I have time to wait until Sephora releases a 20% off for Rouge code in November.

I also still need to find out if Lorac Mega Pro is going to be at Ulta. Why won't either of them give a definitive yes or no??

ROFL Oh my gosh, put me on the spot! :lol: I'm an infernally bad judge of these things, but I'd guess based on the theme and packaging of the collection, they will sell out... but I honestly don't know how quickly!

I'm just wagering a guess, but I think you'll have time to wait for the sale - but Sephora is so weird and things sell so differently there than on other sites that its hard to guess. (I'm not totally waiting for Sephora to get the Holiday Dior quints because I want a sale on those...)

Other thing, not 20% off, but if the Meteorites come in stock you could use one of the 10% match codes. They're good through the end of October.

I called Lorac. I don't think they quite understood?? but they said I could keep it no charge. I think I'm going to donate that money to my favorite animal rescue.

That was nice of you to take the effort and call them. I sold some products last Christmas and the company that printed them sent all of our orders to the same person. I think she kept 10 orders worth of stuff. We asked if she would send them back  to us and she could keep her items for free and we would pay for the shipping and we never heard back from her. Most the kids ended up getting late Christmas presents since we could not get them reprinted and shipped in time since all our printing sources were behind.

thanks, but i'm waiting for it to be available on ulta. i have $125 ulta credit that i'm using for holiday shopping. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

For what it's worth, it available at Macy's too.

I neeeeeeed that grey. I know I have 6 or 7 already but I must get all of the Grey's for winter.

@@ohsailor Congrats on getting the Lorac Mega Pro and the lippies for $10!  Awesome idea to donate to your favorite animal group.

I ordered my Lorac Mega Pro on my phone at work because it did not go live on their site or Amazon even as late as 7:30am PST today!  I was so mad!  It showed the picture but then it was not a clickable link!

I think it is interesting how Lorac recycled their bar packaging from last year (it was candy bar themed) to the Royal theme this year.  Last year the candy theme appealed to me but this year not.  Maybe since i have seen it before? haha

Sephora is also 8% back at ebates...so with that 10% off it's close too 18% off.

 

[Kimb3rly]

I'd just contact Lorac, maybe they'll let you keep it.  Ok, I lied.  I wouldn't contact anyone because I'm bad and have no morals..... Also I've spent so much money with most of these companies I feel that the occasional error in my favor is well deserved :bandit:

Basically this.  Last year Sephora sent me the $199 Glo Science teeth whitening system around Christmas.  They stressed me out so much around the holidays last year with misships and late shipping that I kept it for "pain and suffering".  I felt guilty for about 2 minutes 24 seconds.  h34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

lol, I just talked myself out of placing a massive order and into placing less massive order... now I have to start that all over again. And this time I may fail  :blush:

What a wonderful gesture! You have inspired me to make a gift to my favorite animal rescue, Great Lakes Bengal Rescue. I adopted my best friend from this rescue 5 years ago on November 1st.

Also ordered the Mega Pro today

That's awful! Keeping something like that is-ugh. Not surprising, unfortunately, though. I tend to get packages that belong to neighbors or others quite frequently and I ALWAYS make sure I get them to their rightful owners. But when it's the reverse, I know not to hold my breath /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And I'd like to thank you so so much for that 18%!  First, you shared a 10% code with me, then you reminded me of eBates!  I ordered this morning so did a quick 'click' on eBates...same day should be ok I think...so THANK YOU! :smileno:

Between 10% off at Sephora and 8% cash back on Ebates, I gave in and ordered Kiss & Bell Lip Surgence set and Too Faced Bronzer set (which was too cute to pass up). 

 

[eastofthesun]

That's cute as crap! I love steampunk! I hope they sell those individually as well- does anyone know if they usually do that? I want that grey!! Oooh cute names! Brass Goggles! ? LOVE IT!!!

Personally I would keep it without saying anything.  But I second the opinion that if it will bug your conscience, let them know!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who would consider keeping it without saying anything. However, I think in the end, it's probably best to contact them. Ususally the company will let you keep it. And that is doubly good!

Hehehe, I kind of feel you on that!

Wasn't so sure about the Lorac Mega Pro but after seeing the swatches, I think I need it so it's getting added to the list!  Out of all of my palettes (Stila, UD, Lorac, theBalm, etc.) Lorac definitely has my vote for my favorite eyeshadows ever!!

I agree- out of all the shadows I have tried, I really love Lorac's eyeshadows! Thanks for reminding me of this, it might just be what gets me to go over the edge and order the MegaPRO!

Today's Sephora delivery: Tarte Pigment of Imagination Deluxe Cheek Set. SO adorable! And only $10! 

It's too bad I don't have more ladies to shop for around Christmas time-they'd all be getting one of these /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

You could send one to me. :satisfied:   Just kidding. But you're right, those are awesome gifts. Wish I could just get a bunch of those!

Awwww, that is so sweet of you. That's awesome! I LOVE THAT IDEA!!!!

I neeeeeeed that grey. I know I have 6 or 7 already but I must get all of the Grey's for winter.

I want the grey tooooo! I also really want this blue-grey shade that is similar to Zoya's Kelly but it's even more blue and it's awesome and it's by Rescue Beauty Lounge in 'Forgotten Road' but it's $20. Ouch. I know, Butter London is $15, so not that much more but.... dang.

Continued- would'nt let me post that many quotes!!!

I never really understand ebates... do you just get an account with them, and then go to shopping sites through them? How do you sign in? Is it weird? How do you get your money back? Does it come every month in your paypal or something? But.... wow, I'm going to have to figure this out so I can start using it, this is awesome!!! I hope ebates has a really high percentage during the VIB 20% off sale!!!!

Wow, how could they accidentally send that? Lucky!

Hahah, isn't that always the way it works?

Yes, when I get mail delivered to me that is supposed to be my neighbor's, I always deliver it to them. I'd just hate to think of missing something in my mail, even if it's extremely unimportant. I hope that they would do the same. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That Butter London set will be mine!  My military exchange carries BL so hopefully they'll have it and I can save a bit of money.  I'm actually doing fairly well with keeping my wish list within budget this year. 

Vice 3, $60

Hourglass blush and powder palettes, $58 ea

Butter London set, $39

Ebates is super easy!  You just have to sign up on their site with an email address and your shipping info.  They have a list of sites and what the cash back % is.  Ebates will link you over to, say, Sephora, Ulta, etc. directly from their site.  I always get my cash back quarterly by check, I don't know if there are other options for payment or not, but I've never had a problem with receiving the checks.  The only problem I have with the site is remembering to use it.  I just spent almost $300 at Victoria's Secret and forgot to go through Ebates.

 

[ohsailor]

Any word on when Bite is going to release their holiday sets?

I'm leaving some room for them, a little Lush, and a little I'm-probably-forgetting-something-big but other than that, I'm done for the season. Too much spending.

I use the toolbar and it never lets me forget /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Getting those $120 checks is always awesome.

At first I wanted every holiday set available but now I think I've narrowed it down to the lorac mega pro palette, possibly the kat von d lipstick set, and the pink and rose mac objects of affection pigment set. Just waiting on birthday money hopefully on October 30th!! I really hope nothing is sold out by then. Thankfully the mac collection isn't coming to stores until the 6th of November so I'm hoping to get it then /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
