Holiday/LE collections

[secretlyevil]

What have you picked up and what do you think?

[kittycatlove]

Nothing has caught my eye yet. I'm hoping there will be something good for the Sephora sale.

[nsl]

I'm probably going to grab a couple of the new singles from the Nars collection at the Sephora sales (provided they're still available then), and I might grab two of Chanel's nail polishes too. I'm trying really hard to control my spending, but this time of year it's almost impossible.

I think TF has some beautiful-looking stuff, especially Le Grand Chateau, but I'm not sure I want it badly enough to buy it.

I totally want the Benefit Real Cheeky Party palette, though.

I got their cheek palette last year (didn't have the eyeliner and mascara, had Bella Bamba instead and was only $36) and I was happy with it. It's a lot of blush for the money and Rockateur was full sized, which is the same with the new palette.

You know I ordered the Guerlain, which will arrive Friday.

The meteorites they have out for the holidays are absolutely gorgeous!

I seriously have zero need for anything, but if I buy anything, it'll be Becca Afterglow and something from Bite.

The MUFE palette that Temptalia posted ago this morning looks lovely, but I can't imagine I'll pull the trigger.

I bought the UD Spectrum palette and the SB Master class book thingy.

Jury is still out on UD Spectrum. I haaaaaaate the packaging.

SB Master Class book is excellent.

I'm waiting for the Sugarpill Edward Scissorhands palette.

What would you recommend from bite, ESF? I want to try something from them since everyone here raves.

Side note: I bought this awesome bright purple lipstick, but if feels like too much for fall. Now I need something plummy but darker. I have all kinds of red already.

I was hoping you'd give your opinions on those.  I've been kicking myself for missing out on Spectrum so I've been eyeing the Smashbox palette and hoping it will still be around when the sales start.  

I'm trying to reign in my spending and I've amassed so much lately that there's not much out there that's getting me super excited.  

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

All I've gotten so far is Vice 4 and I loooooove it. The shadows are buttery, the pigmentation is great, it's seriously amazing. I almost got spectrum too but I have most of those colors already from previous UD palettes and I need to stop buying so much eyeshadow anyway. The guerlain meteorites are just gorgeous but I can't seem to pull the trigger. . That's what I really want next though.

The Bite Duos are great, because they are two decent size samples (each side is the same size as the Bellini gift, just shaped a little differently) for $14.  Good way to sample.  

The 4 piece pencil set for $25 is also a good deal. That is my favorite formula that the brand makes. The Aubergine shade in that set is a marvelous fall purple (I bought it last year as a single).

[cottoncandy]

I bought the bite set with the 4 pencils and the Lorac mega pro. I need to swatch the chanel blush that Looks like a highlighter when it comes out, but nothing else is really calling to me. I'm not sure if it's that I just have too much makeup right now or the holiday stuff is not as exciting this year.

centralsquare I would also recommend the 4 pencil set for the same exact reasons ESF mentions. The only thing keeping me from buying it is the  fact that I already have Aubergine. 

There really no holiday sets that appeal to me so far. My wallet is thankful.  

[centralsquare]

Aubergine looks gorgeous.

I am really dying for the NARS matte pencil in Damned, but 4 bite pencils for the same price sounds like a good call.

I have this

and really like the color alot! I'll try to wear it in FOTD tomorrow

[bania]

I REALLY want the Tarte- Light of the Party kit. I mostly want it for the cute holiday inspired shadow names and not for the actual colours so that's my reasoning for not ordering it.  

[Pippin]

The In TheBalm of Your Hands greatest hits palette looks interesting. I might grab that with some Kohls cash.

[forreals]

I still want the energy noire palette.

You should get it!  I have the MUFE nudes palette, and the quality is outstanding and the colors are just gorgeous.  At $59 for 15 pans, this is a good deal.  The only reason I'm not running to the store to buy it is because it looks like it overlaps with that palette quite a bit (the first two and last column) and I don't do purple eyeshadow.  But that row of blues is just divine.

Nothing. The new Sephora Jem Palette is a my only maybe.

[nsl]

I need more Ulta must-haves. I'm thirty points away from my $125 big point reward, and I'm not feeling inspired by any of their holiday offerings.

I saw this palette online this morning and thought it looked really interesting. But I have no experience with Sephora brand eye shadows so I'm telling myself that they are bad just so I don't feel too inclined to pick this up, lol.

They are hit and miss. But even the known brands are like that. But I will be waiting for some swatches or a in person look first. And a 20% coupon.

You can't even buy it yet. But the color range is gorgeous.

Oh man, I had forgotten about that collection. I kind of want the liquid lipsticks and the compact as well as the shadow.

What about that BECCA set? It has the under eye brightener, liquid highlighter in opal, pressed highlighter in moonstone, and some lip thing I don't care about. I've had my eye on it and got to test the under eye stuff. I liked it a lot.

Did you see some of the Stila stuff. I missed it until I was searching for new products on Ulta. I might get the palette if It comes to the store.

Nada. So sad.
