Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[abreeskye]

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

Oooh, I recently got a sample of that Bite scrub and love it.  I've also heard excellent reviews for the lip mask ... I think I need this set!  Er, BOTH of them!

The lip mask is my holy grail forever and ever and ever. It seriously works overnight wonders! Everybody get this set!

Argh, the only thing that is keeping me from buying this is the packaging. Every time I get something in a metal tube it looks so junky and splits on me long before the product is finished. Here's hoping they put it in a plastic tube!

Cool! I'll have to pick one of those up.

 

[emilypolg]

Yeah i need both of those Bite sets in my life. I've never actually tried anything of theirs but now i'm ready to jump in with both feet!

 

[Megan27ist]

What was it you most wanted? 

IDK, I've had my eye on the Tarte Away Oui Go and the Too Faced La Belle Carousel, I haven't been able to make my mind up on them.  Perhaps I'll be able to pass hints off to my family as to what I want for Christmas, and let them choose /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Guerlain Meteorite smell quite lovely. It reminds me of Violet Scented gum, slightly sweet, not an overpowering floral. I'd never noticed the scent at the store. A couple of mine came a little broken but not enough to make me want to go exchange them. I also used the code for the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment, Therapy and scrub. I am on no buy for lip products at the moment and I used up my Fresh Sugar Plum, 2 more items to go before I can buy a replacement so I am super happy to get these.

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.

Well the first and easiest thing to knock off is the ambient lighting palette. Its not a holiday item, and its not limited edition. So no point in worrying about it now. You can always get it six months down the road. 

My wishlist is about $850-$900. EEK! But I have already spent about $450 so I am working on it. Just waiting for my friends and family code for 20% off which thankfully I should get Thursday! Then I can do a bit more damage!

Stila's sets are up on Sephora (although I didn't see the eyeliner ones). MUFE also put up some rather uninspiring kits (though they could be perfect for some people!)

Though, this is interesting (just not to me):

Beautyblender and Benefit online kit, 46CDN.

They actually already listened to you! My newest one (purchased this summer) is in a plastic, not metal, tube. I actually am finding it a bit harder to get the stuff out of the tube, but you don't run into the splitting problems that some people have!

 

[eastofthesun]

Oooh, I like that bite set with the scrub, bb, and mask.  I already have a full size mask, a deluxe lip scrub from fresh.... so I'll have to pass. I like the idea of the tawny shade bb lip- I'll need to try that on in store to see how it is on me.

As @ mentioned, they have a new one that is in a plastic tube- it is a little different as it has a champagne/rose gold shade to it. I have tried it out in store and I don't think I like it as much as the original. I actually love the metal packaging- it makes it seem so fancy, and if you live in a warmer area, you won't have problems getting it out of the tube or having the tube split.

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).

Awww, I'm really sorry to hear that. That's really sweet of you to help support the household while she's recovering.

Maybe you could find a swap to join? Do you have lots of extra goodies that you don't use? I'm not sure... just  a thought to help cheer you up.

In other news, I am slowly whittling my list down to what I really want... and I'm finding out that the holiday sets, lovely as they are, are actually not what I want.... I'm finding I want to use my VIB 20% off on permanent items.... hmm.

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Urban Decay's Friends & Fanatics sale is happening. 20% off with code UDFANATICS14. 

Still kind of deciding, but I think I'll grab Vice 3 & the set of 10 eyeliners. 

 

[Bikerchic]

I think I might add that Bite set with the mask, BB, and scrub to my wishlist!  We get very cold winters and I always need something heavy duty to keep my lips from chapping.  See how I did that, I turned a want into a NEED :lol:

Ugh, and it ends the day before payday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />UD does this to me every year! 

I have been going back and forth on the set of liners.  I've seen some less than stellar reviews, but they're my favorite liner formula.  I might need to break into my savings and pick it up, too.

Eek! Does anyone know if the ambient blush palette is LE? I don't have either and would love to have both, but had been using a different rationale that I use more powder than blush and if I don't like the powders, it was unlikely I'd like the blushes. Also, it seems like the powder palette gets better reviews overall than the blush palette. However, if it's likely that the blush palette might sell out and not come back, I might need to re-evaluate.

Hey there, it's described as limited edition in the description on Sephora's website. If it sells really well, they might turn around and make it permanent like they did the ambient lighting palette, but I'm not sure.

I kind of want to get it, but I can't find any testers at any sephora so I don't know how all 3 colors swatch on me. Grr!

Mantra: if you have the money, get it while you can- then return it if you don't like it!

Did anyone mention the bite pencil set is online at sephora? I don't see a larger set and I haven't heard anyone mention it coming out. I guess they're not doing it this year?
