Charlotte Tilbury Rocket Collection. I already ordered one of their lipsticks in the Ready for Lust shade. It’s a beautiful dark berry, which is what I was looking for and perfect for Fall and Winter. I’m not one to purchase big holiday gift sets but this small collection had just what I needed. Can’t wait to get it!!
None so far.
Same here, Christine! I was going to get the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance collection but the swatches were so underwhelming. I am hoping Oden’s Eye will have another Christmas collection this year, it never disappoints!
MAC! I want those singular eyeshadows and the eyeliners. Maybe a few of the lip products
Didn’t even realize any were out, LOL! So I’d say none.
I am rather curious about the Pat McGrath holiday collection, mainly to see how good the quality actually is on those 5-pan eyeshadow palettes and perhaps the larger one with the greens. Do I need any more eyeshadow? Uh, nope!
I don’t want to acknowledge their existence yet.
The Beautyverse palette from Charlotte Tilbury!
I’m going to be boring and say the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit. The Jellyfish one has a bronzer that’s perfect on my fair cool skin, and the highlighter is out of this world!
Years ago, it was always MAC but now…..nothing. I’m a little hopeful for Haus Labs and Natasha Denona but not sure if they put out anything specifically for holiday.
I agree with you Christine – none of them have really captured my attention (maybe some of Pat’s 5 pans) and definitely affection yet. I do hope that Lorac will bring out something neutral and stunning like their Noir palette, but they have been very quiet post pandemic.
I bought the Dior Backstage Silver Essentials palette, which I’ve been loving, and just ordered the Tom Ford highlighter Rose Irise from Bergdorf’s. I’m watching a “leaked” ND midi palette and if it comes out for holiday, will definitely buy.
I am sort of interested in the Pat McGrath holiday collection and maybe the Chanel. I am drawn to the PMGL palette with the green shades and since I have been doing a lot of looks with just one shade or at most two or three, I think there might be some nice one and done shades in there and for the same reason, the Chanel palette. I did look at the Hourglass palettes while in Seattle and I like the deepest one for my daughter but she didn’t care for the snake case so I may try and order the owl case with the darker palette. The darker palette has the most new shades. Other than those I haven’t really seen much interesting but I haven’t really been looking for it either.
Nothing interests me yet!
I don’t think I’ve even seen any Holiday collections. Since this is pretty much the only beauty site I frequent and I no longer read “fashion” magazines, I’m not even aware of any…. Just as well, really, since I absolutely do not need any more makeup, skin or hair care products (not that this ever inhibits me all that much).
I can only think of MAC, I saw something that I think I might want, but right now I can’t remember if it was a lipstick or an single eyeshadow. 😀
Other than that, I’ve not seen anything that I’m interested it, not that I have actively looked.
So far, none. I haven’t seen many, and haven’t been wowed by what I have seen.
I haven’t been drawn to any of them this year, which is fine by me as I have been eyeing Hourglass scattered light singles and balancing out my Kaja all-shimmer bento collection, and plan to grab ND I need a nude palette around black friday. More than enough for me 🙂
