Happy Monday glammies!! The sun is shining and it's just a beautiful fall day!! I decided to take a walk this morning and really take in the scenery but also in an attempt to clear up some of the writing block's that are going on in brain. Well, it definitely helped!! I know some of you aren't going to want to hear it, but now that Halloween is over it's time to jump into the "season". I hear a couple of you groan, and I know the questions like "What about Thanksgiving?" "Why jump the gun?" are arising.
HOOOLLLDDDD ON! Some of us are on a budget and take a couple months to get presents and some of us are looking for better value makeup kits. Well, you guys, this is the time to go looking before everything is picked over. The last few weeks all of the big makeup companies have started to unveil their makeup sets and deluxe palettes right now, and boy oh boy are they gorgeous!
For me, there were a couple that really stood out as being a lot of bang for your buck. This one from Tarte I feel like is such a great deal and so portable that for someone wanting to start their collection, this would be amazing for you. You get 4 full palettes with 4 shadows in each and a blush. You get the little travel palette to take with you in your purse, and you also 3 full size lip glosses. The other wonderful thing about Tarte is that they are known to be cruelty-free and eco friendly. For $48 you are getting such a great deal with this palette as well!! I mean you are getting SO much. I think this set would be so wonderful for mom's or women who want a lot of options without the guess work of pairing shadows together.

If you love beauty stuff and like to try new products, this next "value set" is for you. Sephora just came out with this for the holidays and it's absolutely amazing! It comes with 13 different products and most of them are full sizes. It is a little more pricey, it's $75 but you are getting really nice high-end brands and they say it's a $280 value. This one your's truly has really been drooling over. This would be wonderful for someone who loves Sephora and brand names.

For someone who's looking for one palette to throw into your travel bag, then the other one I'm really lusting after that came out earlier this fall, but would make a wonderful gift, is the Lorac Pro to Go Palette that's only at Sephora.com or on Lorac's website. You get 6 beautiful eyeshadows, 2 blushes, a bronzer, and 2 brushes. It folds up and is tiny, easy to take with you. It's cheaper then the pro palette at $38 and if you love neutrals, these buttery shadows are right up your alley. It's so sleek and beautiful I think this would be wonderful for someone who likes lots of smokier looks but also wants to keep it simple.
For something that's a smaller present or stocking stuffer, and if you own an IPhone5 this little on the go palette is perfect! It's part of the new Too Faced "Joy to the Girl's" line that came out for the holidays. You get 11 shadows, a bronzer, and a blush PLUS an IPhone5 case which is adorable. It, like the Tarte one, is cruelty-free and highly pigmented and for $25 it can't be beat! I mean you can barely find a cellphone case for under $20 anymore. There are some mattes and a lot of sparkles, perfect for the holidays! I think this would be great for everyone, but especially a teenager/college student because you get so much in such a small sparkly package.
I hope this gets you to thinking about new makeup to try out this winter!! There will definitely be more coming along that I will be sharing with you!! Like we all know, this is the best time to pick up makeup during the year (besides the Nordstrom's sale). I've already got my list going for all the new things I want to try!!
