I guess most people expect some sort of Vice Eyeshadow Palette release as that’s a pretty traditional release for Urban Decay around the Holiday season. But news for the Urban Decay Holiday 2017 Collection is slow coming in.
However, their are a few Urban Decay Holiday 2017 Gift Sets you can take advantage of while you patiently await news of a possible eyeshadow palette.
The Holiday Makeup Collections are coming fast and furious now and a few items from Pur Holiday 2017 have caught my eye. In particular, Quick Pro Glitters Eye Polish Kit ($39) has my eye. As you know I’m a massive fan of Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow and yes, I grabbed both those Stila Holiday 2017 Sets! I was curious how Pur’s formula measured up. This set contains five different shades (including a rose gold one! Swoon!) that can be used alone or worn over or under your favorite powder eyeshadow. I’m adding the set to my list to haul during Ulta’s next 20% Off discount plus I’ve been saving my Ulta points so I have quite a few stashed away for the holidays! Proud of me!? 🙂
Let’s see what else Pur Holiday 2017 has to offer.
MAC Look in a Box Little MAC Lipsticks are available in two new Macy’s Exclusive Sets and it got me thinking (use promo code VIP to get the sets for $29.75 with Free Shipping). Do you prefer Holiday Lipstick Sets or Lipgloss Sets?
We haven’t even officially entered the Holiday Season yet and already we have so many great lipgloss and lipstick sets! I have to say though lipgloss sets tend to dominate the makeup world during the Holiday season and lipstick ones are a little rarer but this year I’m seeing more and more of them pop up from a variety of brands.
Bobbi Brown has a stunning Luxe Classics Mini Lip Set available, Smashbox Drawn In. Decked Out. Be Legendary Lipstick & Lip Mattifier Set which includes six mini Be Legendary Lipsticks! Not to mention Lorac wows with not one for two different Alter Ego Lipstick Sets this Holiday season! Kat Von D also has a new liquid lipstick set launching shortly when her Saint & Sinner Eyeshadow Palette hits Sephora.com this week! And of course, Urban Decay joins the crowd with not only a traditional lipstick set that holds five mini Vice Lipsticks but also one that contains four Liquid Vice Lipsticks for fans of long-wearing liquid lipstick! Needless to say there are not shortage of great lipstick sets this year and I’m sure more are to come.
Never mind the sheer amount of lipgloss sets that are popping up! Like I said, we the Holidays aren’t technically even here yet!
Which do you prefer?
Are you more of a Holiday Lipstick Set kinda of gifter and getter or a lipgloss one?
I actually like both but I prefer lipstick ones. I think I’ve been through so many lipgloss sets over the years that I find it novel to indulge in a lipstick set or two which seem to be a little rarer when it comes to Holiday launches.
Which do you like best?
J. Cat Beauty Dry Makeup Brush Cleaner ($5.99) is one of those handy little tools to have around for color switching during eyeshadow application. Some people use like ten eyeshadows in a single look but I’m not one of those people. Still, I find this little Dry Makeup Brush Cleaner quit handy as I can easily switch shades during the blending process without the need for water or brush cleanser.
Here’s how it works!
One of the best beauty things to pass across my desk recently is the new L’Occitane Peony Petal Cleansing Oil ($34). Far be it for me to get excited about cleansing oils considering my background of trying any and every new cleanser that pops up in the US, Korean, and Japanese market. I have plenty of bottles of cleansing oil currently in my rotation some of which I adore, others I’m a bit meh about, and still others that are backups of those that I love. So, it’s unlikely I’ll get excited about cleansing oil at this point. Although, it does always strike my beauty sweet spot when a brand launches one here in the US since for such a long time cleansing oil wasn’t a common cleanser in the US market most people associated it with Shu Uemura.
Nowadays, it’s becomes a staple in many beauty lover’s skincare routines and why wouldn’t it be? It gently takes off difficult to remove makeup, emulsifies and washes away easily, and it leaves skin soft and smooth, never greasy or shiny.
L’Occitane Peony Petal Cleansing Oil is a new, permanent Fall 2017 launch that which I ended up becoming addicted to rather quickly. There are cleansing oils that work fantastically and there are ones that fail miserably. Peony Petal Cleansing Oil is one of the keepers.
