Tarte Holiday 2021 Features New Gift Sets But No New Palettes Yet

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Tarte Holiday 2021 arrives today at Sephora and Ulta but I’m not seeing any new eyeshadow palettes or eyeshadow gift sets as of yet. Tarte Holiday Collections are typically very, very big with a lot of different sets that will be exclusive to select stores such as Ulta and Sephora getting their own as well as QVC and some that arrive exclusively on Tarte’s website as well. Much of what is being offered at this early stage is uneventful! They have a new Best Of Blush Mini Amazonian Clay Cheek Set for $39 which I’d probably be hyped about four or five years ago but which fails to really entice me at this stage in my makeup life. One set I will get is the Tarte Bow & Go Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm Set simply because I love this formula and I got last year’s set and adored it! It’s a great deal as it’s $39 and includes four full-size Maracuja Lip Balms!

Here’s a little more of what Tarte Holiday 2021 has available.

Laneige Peppermint and Gingersnap Lip Sleeping Mask for Holiday 2021

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

As a fond fan of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I’m terribly excited for the new Peppermint and Gingersnap flavors for Holiday 2021. I admit, I dunno if I can wait to buy these!

I know, I know! Everyone gets stressed about wearing a lip sleeping mask and having it smear all over your pillow. Not me! I’m a tummy sleeper which is not good because I wake up with puffy eyes and a swollen face from having my head buried in my pillow all night. Wearing a sleep mask forces me to sleep on my back. I consider it way helpful to prevent puffiness in the morning! Hehe!

And hey, if you don’t wanna sleep with it on don’t! I actually typically apply it after cleansing my face and applying my nightly skincare! After that, I’ll sit on the couch with the BF to watch our favorite show or lay in bed with him to listen to The Magnus Archives while I’m wearing it. By the time we head to bed it’s complete worn away anyway and done its magical smoothing and hydrating job!

The mask is a creamy consistency and it smooths on very easily. It sets transparently once on and leaves lips slightly shiny. Some folks say they don’t find it moisturizing enough but I have chronic dry lips and have always felt it was very soothing and quite hydrating.

The two new flavors for Holiday 2021 are Peppermint and Gingersnap! The flavors are likely very subtle as Laneige isn’t known for overpowering its lip masks. You probably won’t get full-on gingerbread from this nor will you get a candy cane. This should prove a relief for those who hated flavored lip products. Personally, I wouldn’t mind more flavor 😉

Nonetheless, these need to come home with me I think! There’s also an All-Nighter Lip Set for $30 that includes the original full-size Lip Sleeping Mask in Berry along with 0.28 oz minis of these two new flavors for $30!

Laneige Peppermint and Gingersnap Lip Sleeping Masks for Holiday 2021 are available now.

Sometimes You Gotta Drag Your Boyfriend to Cracker Barrel for Dionis Caramel Pumpkin Spice Hand Cream

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

As you know my man is not a fan of Cracker Barrel. Anywhere he has to sit and wait for food while country music plays loudly is a NO go for him. Not to mention he’s Mr. Universe aka my body is my temple and it’s not like Cracker Barrel has a huge selection of tofu and greens to satisfy him.

I can’t say I feel the same way. I actually like it. Ok, confession, I hate country music! Ugh…! No! But the rest of the experience is pretty darn awesome. I love roaming around the country store as I wait to be called for a table. The old time-y wimey candy, the candles, the seasonal do-dads, the hand cream…the freaking hand cream!

For a long time, the only place you could snag Dionis Hand Cream was online or at Cracker Barrel. A few years I stopped begging to go to Cracker Barrel to buy the crack that is Dionis Hand Cream Crack because ulta.com started carrying it. Best day ever! Well, maybe not, the Ulta purchase didn’t come with a chicken fried steak and hash brown casserole.

Ok, So, Yeah, I May Have Done Damage at the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale And It Isn’t Even Over Yet

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Ok, real talk, is that Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale awesome, or am I having work stress, and retail therapy is really doing a number on me!? I’ve personally felt like the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale has been meh the last two or so years. I just haven’t been all that into the deals if I’m being honest but this year, whoa, this year I got myself into trouble. I really thought I wasn’t going to reach Diamond status. I was convinced it wasn’t going to happen but here I am…! I did it. What tipped me over? Def the details to be had at the 21 Days of Beauty Sale.

Did you haul a lot of stuff this year or is it only me!?

Here’s what I got so far….!

Farmacy Holiday 2021 Gift Sets Featuring Garden Party Green Clean Trio With New Scented Cleansing Balms

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

The Farmacy Holiday 2021 Gift Sets have arrived and there’s a new Garden Party Green Clean Trio available with three new scented Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balms in Strawberry Basil, Lemon Mint, and Peach Thyme. I purchased it right away today. The set is $42 and includes three 1.7 oz jars of the popular cleansing balm (with free shipping thanks to that handy FREESHIP code).

Why did I purchase it you might be wondering? I know, I know! The Sephora Holiday Savings Event is on the horizon and will be happening in a very short time but I have this funny feeling a lot of items are going to sell out incredibly quickly fast this Holiday season. I remember last year that Peter Thomas Roth Full-Size Hydra Gel Eye Patch Party really flew off the shelves and thankfully I managed to snag a set but many people did not. This year, I decided that if I want some I’m going to grab it because I really do think, thanks to the pandemic, things will be quite limited. Since I LOVE the Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm anyway why not just grab this set before it disappears? So, yeah, I treated myself today and I regret nothing 🙂

Farmacy released the Very Cherry version of their cleansing balm back in 2019 and this year we got the yummy Sweet Apple Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm formula. I’m happy to see them expanding the line with new scents. I know not everyone likes scented products but I’m excited they are doing new seasonal scents.

Take the jump for more Farmacy Holiday 2021 Gift Sets!
