Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[West Coast Beauty Addict]

I love that grey polish in the Butter London Set.  I hope that one is available as a single.  Otherwise I  might buy the whole set and I do not need any more red nail polish.

So I just tried Gash from the UD set and OMG I'm in love. As soon as I finish this little sample I'm buying a full size.

Oh yes!  I love Gash!  It's my favorite from the set.  I have never really liked red lipstick on me but Gash is perfect.

It's like the perfect fall red that isn't too red but is also pretty bold! SO into it!

I ordered the Tarte Pigment of Imagination cheek set and the UD Pulp Fiction palette last week and got my order yesterday.  Except it wasn't my order.  I ended up with 2 Sephora brand jumbo eye pencils that were supposed to go to Marina Del Rey CA.  Emailed Sephora, so hopefully they sort it out soon.  The least they could have done was send me an incorrect order filled with stuff I'd actually use

They're up on Benefit's site, but I don't see a section for them yet. Just use the search bar at the top of the page.

My wishlist is pretty small, but it's still more than I would like to spend! I'll have to really think about it, because in all reality, I don't need any of these things. They just make me happy!

Hourglass Ambient Light palette - $58

Hourglass Ambient Blush palette - $58

Vice 3 - $60

UD Full Frontal lipstick set - $39

UD Pulp Fiction - $16

Tarte Pigment of Imagination set - $10

$241.... yeah, NO. I can't afford that, so I'll have to narrow it down.

Our wish lists are identical!  Except I also want the Butter London Steampunk set.  I already have Full Frontal, and ordered the Pulp Fiction and Tarte set last week.

I was supposed to receive an order from UPS today from Sephora, full of stocking stuffer goodies.  I love how UPS's 3 day select shipping is supposed to be delivered by the end of the third business day, but really takes 4 business days... and then to top it off, they sent it to San Diego after it made it to LA, and now I have to wait another day or two to get it back, if I even do. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  *cries*  I hope they don't screw up more and end up delivering to somebody else down there...  

I hope you get your real order!  Did they put the wrong stuff in the right box, or just the entirely wrong box was sent to you (address and all)?  I wonder if that other person ended up with your stuff?

Well, if you got the Vice 3 palette, you could knock off the Pulp Fiction palette... it isn't exactly the same, but you get close enough colors in Vice 3 to the Pulp Fiction...  Unless you really wouldn't wear all/most of the colors in Vice 3 and favor neutrals, then I'd get Pulp Fiction instead of Vice 3.  

If I "had" to choose between them, I'd get the Hourglass palettes over the Tarte duo set.  At least blush vs blush.  The Tarte set is so cute and a great value of price and product... but as far as long term use of both formula and color goes, Hourglass wins in my opinion.  More variety, less to get sick of and leave sitting in a drawer.  

After now owning both Hourglass palettes, I couldn't imagine not having them now, I've used them non stop since buying them.  To me, they are more unique a product/formula than the eyeshadow sets are.  You can find similar color sets by the same brands over and over each year, and most of us already have at least one palette like Vice 3 sitting around, lol.  

Anyways, if I had to choose among that list and not spend on everything, that's how I'd break it down.  At the end of the day, what would you use most?  Which would make you happiest?

I hope your order shows up!  And it's what you actually ordered!

This was a case of sticking the wrong shipping label on the wrong box, I think.  The label was my name and address but the actual stuff in the box was not mine, including the packing list and invoice.  It's crazy they would mess it up this bad.  I live an hour outside of Salt Lake City UT and they have a distribution warehouse there so I usually get my orders from them the next day via On Trac.  I emailed them about it last night and still haven't heard anything.

Thank you for your input! I was actually thinking Pulp Fiction would be a great gift for my sister who loves Tarantino.

You're right about the Tarte set. I only want it because it's cute, but I sure don't need another highlighter.

I basically need the Hourglass palettes. I have nothing like them. And as far as Vice, I honestly don't have many dupes. The only palettes I own are Naked 1 and 2, Chocolate Bar... And that's actually it! Maybe the Lorac Pro 2 when it restocks on HSN.

My plan for now is to knock off the Tarte set, and use Pulp Fiction as a gift.

Karen of Makeup and Beauty has swatches and looks with some of the Nars Holiday! I really want the Laser Cut Palette more than ever! I was starting to flip flop and and want the Guerlain Palette but I need this!

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 is amazing!! Thank you! My 5-year plan with my SO is to buy a plot of land to open up a small animal rescue and to help other rescues that need help. For now I have a sum I give monthly to a few charities. It makes me feel a little bit better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I would buy the Pulp Fiction palette sooner than later if you decide to go for it. I don't think it will last long at $16.

 

[ohsailor]

Ooooooohhhhhhhh!

Nonono. Nono. I don't need this, I have so much nail polish I want already.

For other nail polish addicts, go to Femmefatale.com. Nail polishes > view all polishes. I'm sorry for doing this to you. ALL THE GLITTERY GORGEOUSNESS!

This Lorac Mega Pro set is SO pigmented!! If anyone is not sure about what they want to get, I'd say go for the Lorac Pros. They are a great value. I would warn, though, that they seem to apply more warmly than they look in the pan. 

 

[viccckyhoang]

I agree, the Lorac Mega Pro Palette is more on the warmer side



Highlight Shade - Cream

Transition Shade - Fawn

Crease Shade- Camel

Deepen Crease Shade - Sepia

Middle of Lid Shade - Blush

All Over the Lid Shade - Merlot

So far so good.. The palette is so well worth the price tag of $59!
