NYX Holiday Gift Sets 2014

Change of plans for today.  I was going to review the Sephora exclusive Tarte Sweet Dreams Holiday 2014 Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Palette for you.  I figured that, since the Sephora VIB sale started yesterday, you might want some gift ideas that you could pick up from Sephora.  Unfortunately, the Blush Palette is already sold out online (though you may be able to still pick it up in store if you hurry).  So instead, I am going to show you some Holiday sets from NYX that you can find at Ulta and ulta.com.  There is a lot here for the lips, but there are a couple eye sets as well.  I am pretty sure that at least some of these sets will also be popping up in your local Target and CVS stores, so keep an eye out for them.

I think that is everything for now.  Like I said, it is a lot for the lips.  I would have loved to see some items for the face, or a trio of the new(ish) All Over Balms, but these are still nice sets to have.  They would make great stocking stuffers, or part of a larger beauty gift.  What do you think of NYX’s Holiday 2014 collection?  Be sure to go to Ulta, or ulta.com for more information, and if you do order online, definitely use Ebates for cash back.  It is free to sign up, and you basically get paid to shop as you normally would.  I have been using Ebates for about a year and a half now, and it is totally legit. For more information about Ebates, read this post, and you can find my referral link on the right hand side of this page under the “Check this Out” heading.

I am thinking of possibly purchasing the NYX Butter Lipgloss Pure Decadence Set for myself, because I love way the shades look.  I am supposed to be trying to abstain from buying anything because our move is three weeks away. (!!!!)  But I have to admit that this is the hardest time of year to keep from buying.  We’ve been seeing new Holiday sets released since early September, and there are more popping up every week.  It’s probably a good thing that I am not a Sephora VIB, or the 20% off sale would be impossible to resist.  Of course, Sephora often extends the sale to we lowly little Beauty Insiders eventually, so who knows.  Have you seen any Holiday sets that have piqued your interest?  Let me know in the comments below.
