Holiday 2019 Swatches - Eye Sets by Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, Urban Decay
Next up.. Here are some swatches of various holiday eye sets that I photographed yesterday. As I mentioned in the sneak peek for lip sets posted earlier today, the sets featured in this post are listed below, and please use the group shot to indicate where the next set begins! The sneak peek was designed for same-brand collections/releases rather than a multi-brand extravaganza!
- Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Pops Quad ($53.00)
- Charlotte Tilbury Celestial Eyes Quad ($53.00) (press sample, I purchased the other three sets)
- Laura Mercier Caviar du Jour Set ($39.00)
- Urban Decay Honey Pot Set ($59.00)
Oh dear, I love 3 out of the 4! CT Celestial Eyes, LM Caviar du Jour and UD Honey Pot are all seriously appealing to my eyes (pun intended!) Someone, please hide my bank cards from me!
I was on the fence about the Naked Honey palette…but the mini palette, with a primer, a 24/7 liner (which I use exclusively) AND setting spray? Done and done!
I always like the “idea” of the Laura Mercier Caviar shadow stick sets more than the actuality of them. I got a set a few years ago and, but for Amethyst, hardly use it – the other shades were all quite light and quite similar. I do love the shadow sticks but prefer to buy the full sizes in the shades I get use of (Khaki especially).
I feel similar regarding the LM caviar sticks. LM amethyst is the only one I kept from the set I bought a few years ago. I found some of them too similar to others too. I prefer ones from Kiko, By Terry and Julep. That said, I rarely use them and when I do, it’s just one color on the lid. I don’t like how imprecise the crayons are and blending more than one has never worked well for me. I doubt that I’d ever buy another crayon again.
Terrific of you to quick churn out these swatcherooos, Team Temptalia! It’s appreciated!
Thanks for the swatches! Have been so curious about the holiday sets
I like a lot of these – the UD Honey pot might be actually better than the palette and I do so love the Caviar sticks too. Even the CT offerings look pretty good.
After the Norvina debacle, these are real treats.
I do love Charlotte’s pop shades but these two palettes are way too warm for me. LM caviar sticks are tempting though!
CT seems can’t make neutral shadows. It’s either straight up cool or anything warm:)
I have and love several of the LM Caviar Sticks and get along with the formula pretty well. I mostly use them for one and done looks and Cobblestone is my most use stick. Having said that, none of these shades are appealing to me. The Intense Amethyst doesn’t look Amethyst to me at all and the other’s are too light. So, money saved for me!
I am waiting for your review of the two CT palettes. Can’t decide which one is better pillow talk pops or celestial eyes!
Thanks a lot for the swatches.
I’m interested to see the swatches of the LM intense sticks. The ones in previous kits were not very pigmented.
