I have been waiting for this ALL week. Although Sephora claims their shipping is now "3 days", it still takes forever for them to process it & ship it! I guess it's better now though since I got it within 8 days. Before they change it to 3-day shipping as standard, it used to take me TWO weeks to get my Sephora items. Anyway, here are the items I purchased. (Which I'm kind of mad at myself for not waiting a few days later to make a purchase).
Benefit High Flyin' Glosses: $26
Tarte Fantastic Foursome Blush set: $35
Tarte 5-Piece LipSurgence™ Collector's Set: $34.
The Benefit set contains all 6 of their Ultra Plush Lip Gloss. They originally retail for $16 and you get 0.5oz of product each tube. These are mini-sized, which is 0.22oz and you get 6 of them for $26. They are a little less than half the size, but I think it is a good deal. It makes great stocking stuffers as well.
Tarte's Fantastic Foursome contains four blushes (although one is more like a highlighter). The blushes in this set are half the size of the original ones, so each of these are 0.10oz. They normally retail for $25, which is 0.20oz for a full-sized one, so this comes out to a $50 value for $35 (but they said it's worth $60 on the box). I think it is a good deal because I get to try many shades and I would probably never finish them anyway, so I don't mind it being small.
Tarte's 5-Piece LipSurgence™ Collector's Set is $34. Last year, they released a same set with different shades for $29, but even though they raised it by $5, you're still getting FIVE FULL-SIZED LipSurgence for $34. They retail for $24 itself so THIS is the best deal for Holiday sets so far (in my opinion).
What do you guys think about this Holiday sets? I personally LOVE the Holidays because companies come out with amazing sets with an incredible value!
Would love to get the Tarte blush set. To me, I prefer to get it in smaller size as I never finish any blush and would like to try out different shades.
ReplyDeleteAlso think it is a great deal! Thanks for the review!
Yes! I never finish any blushes. Not even hit pan at all so it's the perfect size! lol :)
DeleteI wish everything would come in minis! I always get bored and move on to something else, and by the time I rotate back around, it might be expired. Love your haul; you bought stuff I would have wanted!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! Minis are so much better since I can never finish anything. I know so many people have the same problem too. lol. Thank you! :) I usually save in the beginning of the year so I can haul it out slowly over the Holiday's (even though this week was the first week of fall, lol!)
Deletethis haul is so colorful!!! the Tarte lipsurgence set is amazingly priced. and the mini blushes are so adorable! i think i need to browse sephora now...
ReplyDeleteYes! They should definitely be available in Canada too! :)
Deletedo you have trouble finishing the lipsurgences too? i thought the set of five was such a good deal that i bought two and one from qvc, for the different colors. LOL. that's probably bad right?
