Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[Elena K]

How do people feel about kits that combine lipcolor in a palette with everything else? I was looking at the YSL set posted above, but I feel like when its set up like that the lip color gets yucky, or dried out.  Haven't purchased a kit like that in a really long time, so I wasn't sure if others felt the same or if the kits are getting better than ones I've purchased in the past, which were more mid-range than YSL.

I don't think it get yucky or dried out, but I dislike lip color in open containers. They force to use applicator very time you want to apply it or dig in with your fingers, and it's just all kinds of inconvenient.

It doesn't bother me, per se, but I normally wouldn't use a lipstick in a palette like that, so I try to avoid buying them jut so I don't have wasted product. :smilehappyyes:   But I know lots of ladies who think it is super convenient. I even just read an article where a woman depotted lipsticks into a Z-Palette with her shadows and blush so she could have her complete face in her purse, so there is definitely a market for it.

I'm not a fan of that kind of packaging.  Eye shadow fall out and whatnot always seems to get stuck in the lip product.  I don't like having to use my finger to apply and I also hate having to use a lip brush, I'm way too lazy!  And it seems like every time I have ever bought a palette with a pan lip product I've not liked the shade or texture.

Lip products with built in applicator are obviously more convenient. I had a Nars palette with both cream and powder products and it never bugged me if a tiny bit of shadow was in the lipsticks. It was actually nice to have so many things in one place and it also allows for great mirror sizes usually. A retractable lip brush makes it very portable.

I have a thebalm palette that has a separate cover for the lipstuff I think that's the way to do it if you're going to have pots.

[Brandy Roberts]

Ugh, and it ends the day before payday UD does this to me every year! 

Let me know if you want something - I'm happy to pick it up for you.  If I'm not too late....just catching up on this thread (and about to post a major rant over on the Sephora thread...)

Let me know. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I'll just have it shipped to you so if you do want something can you PM me your address?  Thanks! 

 

[Brandy Roberts]

@@ohsailor - I'm so sorry for the riff-raff stalking your FB page and making those comments.  Just hang out here - where everyone loves everyone! At least that is how I feel about MUT!  Also - you are an amazing giver - good karma/vibes/feelings should follow you always - just for being you!

For those of you who have Tarte's Bon Voyage - question...did the mini blush come sealed?  Did the Maracuja oil come sealed?

Mut is the nicest place on the internet

Nordstroms and some other stores still have not released them.

I took pictures today for my new blog. Some of them came a bit broken and I had a hard time distinguishing the two pinks.

:wacko2:

I keep refreshing Amazon's page for the Mega PRO and I am literally spinning here. I'll get both of these responses equally at in the same minute when refreshing. When I try to buy, it just says it's not available yet. Guess I should stop torturing myself and just wait until the 19th!

If you haven't been able to snag this yet, try again now.

I need a wee bit of enabling..

In my cart I have Urban Decay's

• Full Frontal (b/c I really want Ozone since my other clear liner is a dud)
• Shadow Box (b/c I'm constantly frustrated as of late with my shadow options)
• 10 Pencil Set (b/c as I see it the sharpener alone is 10 and Perversion is 20 -- the other 9 liners are 0.03, or 75% of a normal, so their value is $15 each, total value $165 for $52)

Here's the thing.  Yes, UD has 20% off, but at Ulta I can get triple points and add their 15 piece GWP.

The way I see it, I'll earn 375 points, which if you redeem at the 2000points/$125 level equals 16 points/$1.  This would be $125 minus $23.44 (once I redeem those earned points) = $101.56.  That's awfully darn close to the 20% off at UD's website ($125-20% = $100).

I can't see any reason not to order from Ulta, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.  TIA.
