I think they are usually part of a separate collection. I'm not crazy of lipticks in a palette form so i always skip them. Now can you imagine if they did the VG Cyndi and Gaga sets? The bag and their lipsticks with the matching glosses all together

I also don't like lip product in palette form. Touching up is a lot harder, because you need to take a lip brush with you.

and the crappy stubby brush the include with the palettes always sucks! my sausage fingers can't handle it!

*jumps on the hating-lip-palettes bandwagon*

Whoever said they should do a Viva Glam lip bag, you are 100% correct. I would definitely get one.

What are the dupes? I'm guessing the MES from Style Black?

 

[jelena]

can we use out pro discount on holiday sets?

 

[panther27]

Still no color story?

I didn't know the brush in the palettes were that bad. Another reason not to buy them

no, apparently only for the color collection.

 

[genduk26]

using lip brush is good for sanitizing... just saying.

back to topic... i'm not impressed with this holiday collection. yay!! more money for chanel.

 

[dearcupcake]

come onnnnnnnn colour story!

I think I've changed my mind- not sure about the PP/mascara/lipgloss set anymore.

I agree. I just saw the pics of the palettes and was rather bummed about the colours. I didn't like any of the combinations.

now my initial excitement has dies down i don't feel like i need any of the palettes. i do like the one with the blue and green but i most likely have dupes for them. i shall see how pigmented the colours are when swatched. because if the payoff sucks there really would be no point in getting one!

Funny, I'm going through the same thing. But, I'll probably get one just for the packaging. If the pigmentation is good, of course.

I'm still in lust with 2 of the palettes. Kinda odd for me, I really don't like palettes (love quads though, gimmie moar!) but the warm and cool smokey palettes here look great.

Things will probably change for me when we see what they actually look/swatch like, it always does. Aww, MAC!

Those are the 2 that look good to me at the moment, too, but if they swatch anything like last year's, they will be a skip.

 

[Soul Unique]

I'm another one who is fairly interested in the smokey and warm palette.

My cooing

list other than the 2 items above are:

*Pigment - The Family Crest
*Blushes - Her Blooming Cheek and My Highland Honey
*[Maybe] Both Lipglass sets - definitely have my eye on the coral set fa'sure!
*The Neutral Lipstick set
*A brush set [would like both, just for the bags alone but that's plain silly isn't it?]

Same here. In fact, this would be my first palette purchase, if I get one. I find that the limited information available is just causing me to shrug and lose interest.
