It's kind of crazy to be thinking about the holidays when it's not even Halloween but I was at the mall this weekend and it's definitely all decked out so I am embracing my favorite time of the year and am celebrating all the amazing holiday products new this year...in October! Seriously, holiday-specific cosmetics are my absolute biggest splurge, and this year is going to be no different. Tarte has just released two amazing gift sets that should definitely make it under your tree. First of all, they have a limited edition LipSurgence set which made me squeal with delight. Side note: if you haven't tried LipSurgence before, you just have to - they are super-moisturizing, come in gorgeous colors and are so easy to apply. This set comes in a sparkly silver box and contains Perky (soft carnation pink tint), Swank (light cherry tint), Ashy (bright iridescent fushia luster), Glitzy (antique pink luster) and Dazzled (my favorite - this beautiful pearly coral/pink which looks stunning on). Each color is completely wearable and definitely giftable. Set costs $29.00. The other incredible holiday set is Puttin On The Glitz - a three palette giftset which comes with a beautiful lip laquer and this stunning silver clutch. I have never seen something like this before - you get so much product and it all comes in this adorable handbag for only $49.00. Who wouldn't want it? Each palette has 6 shadows and one additional bronzer, powder or highlighter (so you're getting 18 shadows, one bronzer, one blush and one highlighter in all). Each palette also has snaps at the spine so you can snap them in and out of the clutch depending on which one you want to carry at night. I love all the colors and Tarte has definitely taken the guesswork out of which shades should be paired with which. The three looks are completely different so you will find a million ways to wear each one (one lends itself to the smokey eye, one is daytime glittery and the third is earthy). Also, you can use the palettes on their own if you need a large handbag at night. The lipgloss is so stunning I have been carrying it with me to wear at work and have also paired with all-over lip liner at night for a stunning deep coral/pink color. This is a truly unique and amazing holiday gift. Now the trick is who is most deserving in your life to receive this? Oh, and an extra one for yourself, of course. Or am I the only who shops that way?
