Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[wadedl]

Different all together.  They are commonly used by several companies for short trip deliveries.  (like stuff coming only from a state or two away, or in state). 

If it is a Sephora order coming OnTrac, it is from the Salt Lake City warehouse.  They deliver to your door, same as other companies (or your mail room/etc however packages are received normally).  

I usually like OnTrac over UPS etc, because if it arrives in town early they usually deliver it early, rather than leave it sitting in the warehouse saying "not due for delivery" and at least in my area is usually delivered by 10/11 am.  

Thanks for the info. Yes it shipped from Salt Lake.

I am going to be picking up a shipment in Long Beach Monday so hopefully its there when I get home from my long drive /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

In case anybody wanted to know and didn't see it yet... the Nars lip pencil holiday set will be releasing Nov 1st, and is a Sephora exclusive.  

It is 49$, and includes Satin lip pencils in Yu, Descanso, Torres del paine, and Velvet matte pencils in Cruella and Iberico.

Any word on the Nars blush palette?

And I'm still waiting for Bite!!

I went ahead and got the Meteorites. I just didn't want to leave it up to chance. And I feel SO grateful for getting that Lorac palette when I did, because had I not gotten it, I was going to wait until next week to buy one... I'm never lucky like this! 

So, my holiday purchases I still need to get are the Nars blush palette, some Lush goodies, Bite. I think that's about it.

The Butter London set seems pricey, but the value there is out of this world. If it wasn't for all the Femme Fatale polishes I'm buying, I'd go for it for a heartbeat. Still, if it's around in November, I might ask the boyfriend for it.

I'm re-posting this. It's not available until January, but just look at it! Thank you @ for posting this originally!

I haven't seen any new info on the Nars blush palette yet.  But it seems like everything I have seen on the Nars Holiday stuff says November 1st/early November release date.  

I drool every time I see that Hourglass eye palette!  I'm going to need a bib soon!

Well I ordered the Mega Pro palette from Amazon just now.  I kept checking all morning to see if it was back in stock and it finally says that they'll get more in on the 13th and that you can order it now.  I had no intentions of buying it, but then all of the swatches and reviews started rolling in.  Enablers.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So Ulta messed up and sent duplicate orders of my Tarte Advent calendar. I felt guilty and sent them an email about it last Friday. Their automated reply said I'd get a response in "24 hours". Today, eight days after my email, they replied with (basically): "Oh. Whoops. Send it back, ok?" Without so much as a return label! So on top of taking time out of my day to go to the post office (always fun with the kiddo in tow) I'm supposed to rectify their error out of my own pocket?

I'd email them back and tell them to send you a prepaid return label and schedule a pickup.  It shouldn't cost you anything to fix their mistake.

Yeah I definitely would not take further action at this time (though I honestly would not have emailed them telling them about the mistake to begin with so you and I might be cut from a different cloth lol). I'd email back and say I'm happy to send it back but, since it was their mistake, I am not willing or able to do so unless they send me a prepaid return label.

Uhm, NOPE!  If a company wants something back they sent in error, they gotta pay to return it, and in my opinion, give you something for your honesty and trouble sending it back.  Most good companies would just let you keep it.  

I'd probably respond back, sorry-- I already gave it away as a gift.  You're auto response said I'd hear back in 24 hours, and you didn't respond until 8 days later, so I assumed you didn't care.  Even if I had it, I wouldn't send back a product you sent me in error unless you sent me a postage paid return label and compensated my account for the inconvenience of my time and effort to fix your mistake.

Which is actually what happened. After staring at the box for a full week, my niece was over yesterday and I let her have it. Their email said my case was "resolved" so I'm not sure I'm going to bother replying at all. It was just so ridiculous to me that I had to vent a bit /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lol, if they ever do say anything back about it, just say you sent it in the mail, not your fault if it got lost etc. ;-)   But I doubt they ever say anything about it again.

I placed a Sephora order for the Pulp Fiction palette and Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette! I used a 10% off and Ebates is 8%. Now I need to decide what else to purchase... My wallet hurts a bit.

 

[addied]

At the moment, my wishlist is sitting at a lovely price of $790ish if I were to buy EVERYTHING that's on my list. Oh, why aren't I a millionaire. :'l

I found pics and info on a Bite Beauty Holiday set posted in the Sephora community forum.  It's a set of 4 mini high-pigment pencils in the colors Winterberry, Sable, Pomegranate, and Rhubarb.  I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link to it here since it is on another forum, but if you search "Bite Beauty Holiday 2014" on google it will come up.

I am so disappointed!  I don't think I'll be able to buy any of the holiday sets now.  My family just found out today that my Mom needs to have surgery, and will be out of work for 6 weeks.  So, now all of my money has to go to supporting the house while she's recovering. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The only way I could justify buying anything is with either my Ulta or Birchbox points (which I have about $30 worth of points on each).

 

[Kimb3rly]

So Rhubarb is the only repeat from last year's Bite holiday tin.  I want this set along with the bigger one they always come out with.  I don't even know what the colors or finishes will be and yet I'm still 100% going to buy it.  Is this insane?  :wub:

What was it you most wanted?

Whoops, thanks for the reminder, @shadowcat78. I was at Sephora yesterday and saw these two Bite sets:
