Holiday 2021 Makeup Collections Are Late and I’m Not Crying About It

Holiday 2021 Makeup Collections are late. I mean, they are LATE late. By early July they’ll typically be a lot of different press events featuring Holiday 2021 launches. Both Too Faced and Tarte are notorious for launching their Holiday Collections very, very early. It sucks because by November it all goes on sale and we’re all tired of the Holidays before they even started not to mention we’re already taking the second star to the right and straight on till morning for Spring releases before Christmas even arrives.

That’s just how makeup collections work lately. It’s too much, too fast. I remember when you had to wait for Holiday Collections until mid October or sometimes the end of. One year I was stalking Saks so hard for a Givenchy Holiday launch and the week before Halloween it arrived. But nowadays we get Holiday releases as soon as July.

I’m not a fan of the panoramic and I really would like get back to normal life soon but I’m thankful that it actually slowed things down for us a little. COVID isn’t anything to joke about nor taken lightly but the one good thing that came from it is that it made things a little slower, we seem to take a little more time with things lately, and I actually enjoy that especially as someone who comes from New York and is always running, racing, and trying so hard to do everything.

It’s not only makeup though it seems like everything has slowed down. My friend texted me a few days ago and said, “Izzy, Michaels says they won’t have Halloween decor up for at least three more weeks…” Well, wow, isn’t that nice? I mean, I LOVE Halloween! My cold dead heart craves the macabre of it all! As far as I’m concerned August is already Fall and I start hauling out the Fall decor as soon as September hits and Halloween soon after. It’s unheard of for places like Michaels to get Halloween decor so late. Typically they’d have it at the start of July!

As much as I love Halloween I dunno if I mind so much that it isn’t force fed to me so early. I mean, yeah, I probably do mind a little but why are we rushing life away so much?

The lack of Holiday 2021 Makeup Collections this year isn’t making me cry at all! I like it. I like taking it a little slower. Maybe if they release a little early they won’t go on sale as quickly and make us all feel bad we spent full price on them. Maybe we’ll have more time enjoy and wear them. Maybe we’ll have the time to be selective about what we want and think about it before we jump into it.

Going back to a slower time isn’t such a bad thing is it?

Go Buy Fall Candles Today! Today’s Special Value HomeWorx Fall Candle Set is On QVC Now

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

Hey!

We got the first little bit of Fall today. It’s a cool Sunny day with just a bit of warmth in the air. It feels very Fall even though I know the dog days of Summer are ahead. It’s so cool in fact that I’ve been burning some Fall candles in the evening. And yes, I did pick up that damn HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Set of Fall Favorites Candle Set today on qvc.com! It’s such an absurd deal at $40 bucks for three 14 oz 3 wick candles even with shipping ($5.50 shipping).

His candles have become my favorite lately because Bath and Body Works ones just haven’t done it! They seemed they have cheapened up the formula on some candles lately.

This set includes:
Golden Harvest Pumpkin: straight from the patch, the scent of whipped pumpkin, spices, and a hint of cinnamon vanilla marshmallow (mmmm)
Deep Dish Apple Pie: the delicious fragrance of a fresh-from-the-oven homemade apple pie (we take ours a la mode!)
Crimson Leaves: the crispness of a fall walk in the woods with fresh leaves underfoot (and the scent of a PSL in hand)

Go get the set now before it sells out (his special values have been known to disappear fast).

Enjoy!
