This year’s holiday beauty offerings were some of the best I’ve seen yet! It was quite difficult to decide which of the sparkly sets I should add to my collection after perusing the goods at beauty mecca Sephora. I ended up picking the Bon Voyage set from Tarte, the Josie Maran Winter Dreams Argan Collection, and the Juicy Couture Travel Pen set. I also picked up my essential brow pencil from Anastasia Beverly Hills and a couple of Dolce & Gabbana fragrance minis.
From top:
Tarte Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette (from Bon Voyage set)
Tarte lights, camera, action mascara, cheek stain in Muse, LipSurgence lip gloss in Visionary, LipSurgence lip tint in Romantic, maracuja oil, Amazonian clay finishing powder and travel bag
Josie Maran Winter Dreams Collection – Argan black oil mascara, Infinity lip & cheek creamy oil in Limitless Pink, Coconut watercolor eyeshadow in Rio de Rose Gold, Argan luminizer, Argan oil light
Juicy Couture Travel Spray Pen Set – Viva La Juicy, Viva la Juicy Noir, Viva la Juicy Gold Couture; deluxe Dolce & Gabbana Desire parfum; Dolce & Gabbana Dolce sample.
So far, I’m loving from Josie Maran the light Argan oil as a pre-foundation base, the coconut water eye color for a metallic bronze wash on the eyelids, and of course, the pretty travel case from Tarte. As far as the perfume goes, I’ve only spritzed the Viva la Juicy Noir. It smells so lovely at first, but an hour later, even a direct sniff of my wrist and there is nothing there 🙁 It might just end up being a fragrance I carry with me at night for touch-ups.
Which holiday makeup & beauty sets are you most looking forward to picking up?
Side note… I still might grab one of Stila’s collaborative sets with BaubleBar! Those bags are gorgeous!
Love the Tarte palette and how easily a look can be transitioned from day to night with the colors! 🙂 – Lena

that tarte palette is gorgeous!!
I think so too! I can’t wait to play around with the pretty shades 🙂
I hated last year Tarte Palette so I’ll buy the Too Faced carousel instead … I love Tarte products for everything else than their shadows !!!
Hi Ingrid! I’m trying to remember which set was last years? I enjoy most of Tarte’s shadows that I’ve tried, but perhaps there are some out there that are formulated differently. I’ve had that experience with Stila shadows, some are soooo much more blendable than others. I am loving the lip stain and gloss in the Tarte set though! I’ll look in to the carousel, thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
