I'm dying over these palettes! So I get on Sephora about an hour ago to finally go ahead and order some powder I'm out of and I was thinking about going to get Tarte's Showstopper Palette until BAM I start seeing all of these new holiday palettes or limited editions! I'm going nuts! Help me decide what to get first. I'm sure I'll end up with them all before its over with. I'm leaning towards Tarte's the most just because I have been wearing the Energy Noir practically everyday since I bought it last month. But, I'm also leaning towards Too Faced (I didn't post both Le Grand palettes because I couldn't find their other holiday one on Sephora). I just feel like I've already got those same colors in other palettes I already own. So what do you ladies think? Will you be buying any of these palettes?

I know I've been seeing all the new palettes popping up at once and I'm like please stop! Lol. I personally want all of them except the tarte one. They're just designed so pretty.

I know I'm going to go broke from all these happening at the same time! See I actually was never interested in Tarte until a friend of mine was showing me her Tarte stuff (its her favorite makeup brand) and I finally tried their shadows and blushes and I an really loving them! I have all a wide variety of palettes from UD, Too Faced, Stila, Smashbox, Lorac, Bare Minerals, I'm probably forgetting something and Tarte's is actually my favorite which really surprises me because I never thought I would like Tarte this much honestly lol.

I would pick the tarte or too faced palette but I'm leaning towards the tarte palette :-) I've no interest in the vice 4 as I never use my vice 3. I also wouldn't wear the majority of colours in the kvd or urban decay palette either.

Definitely the kvd mi vida loca.

I've been going back in forth on whether or not to get the KVD Mi Vida Loca palette and lip set. I think I might just go for the lip set but I can't decide!

Just realized I messed up the title. Anyways...

@Rebecca, see I feel the same way. I feel like it basically looks the same as my Vice 3. It looks pretty but I just don't know how much I'll use it.

@Jennifer, I love the colors on KVD's but I've never tried her palettes. Well I've used one that my mom had forever ago and it was so long ago I don't even remember if I liked it. I know she has amazing palettes from reading reviews and everyone recommends them but I also am unsure if I will use those colors very often.

@Alexis, I didn't know there was a lip set! Great I'm really going to go broke! Hahaha I'll have to check that one out too! Thanks(:

Lisa, I literally just caved and ordered the lip set! I knew I would be mad at myself if I missed out on it so I got it, lol.

I'm thinking about caving in too! Lol, that dark red on the end (not sure the name) looks gorgeous! Let us know how they are when they come in!

The red in the white packaging? That's an exclusive to that set shade called Gold Blooded. I'll definitely be posting a first impression once I get it!

I wish I could see these in store to swatch but my nearest Sephora and Ulta don't have any of them yet. I've been looking for swatches online but I haven't found any for Too Faced or Tarte yet, just pictures of what are in the sets but not reviews yet.

I will definitely be getting at least one kvd palette (hopefully both.. But the holidays are coming up) and maybe vice 4. I have gotten both kvd spellbinding books the last couple years, and vice 2/3. Maybe tartes too, I've gotten a few of theirs lol.

I love kvd and tarte shadows, easily my favorite formula for eyeshadows. Urban Decay is great, but no where near kvd or tartes.
I'm not a fan of too faced, their palettes never stand out to me and the one I did buy ended up being do chalky and not at pigmented. Hoping they improve though, their sets are really good sets for gifts.

I just ordered Tartes! @Alyx, see I love Too Faced and the packaging on these holiday sets are so cute but I feel like I already have those same colors in my past holiday sets. I'm really eyeing KVD's but I wish I could see it in store first before deciding to purchase it.

You won't regret it! I have 4 tarte palettes, they are lovely! Personally I think they make the best mattes. Easily as good as mufe. I got last year's bon voyage set, and comparing it to this one I'm glad I bought last year's. This one doesn't come with as much, is more and although I love the nature colors in it, I don't like that it isn't removable. Or at least that's how the blogs I've seen made it seem.

I love the swatches the kvd instagram has been posting, like ahhh so pretty lol. I will definitely be getting it, hoping to get my mom to buy it as she's going to the US in two weeks and for that, and vice 4, it's nearly 50$ cheaper even with conversions lol. I might get the lipstick set of kvd's too, but I don't know. I hate that they do this right before the holidays, I feel bad spending 100$+ on myself lol.

Here's another picture. The kvd instagram has separate pictures but jeez I want it lol. I unfortunately have to wait till it's in stores or till my mom goes to the states. Shipping is too much lol.

Woah those look awesome! I just don't know if I would wear those colors. I would definitely wear the neutrals and the pinks/reds/purples but I doubt I would ever wear the greens and blues... Thanks, I don't have instagram so I never stuff like that! I'm also super excited about Tarte; I only have one Tarte palette that I bought a month ago and I really love it. Can't wait for it to come in!

That's understandable! though the other colors you think you won't wear, I love to use those colors as bottom lashline pop of color, or just a slight inner corner color, or wet as an eyeliner!
I definitely buy palettes with colors I don't use, blues are definitely in that category, but I use them in subtle ways like that, to warm up to them if that makes sense. Plus you could always blend them with other colors like a black smoky eye with some blue on top would make it a pretty black with a blue tint type thing. Just a thought if you do buy it, or any other palette you want to buy but are unsure :)

I bought the UD Spectrum Palette, and I am in love!! It is amazingly pigmented and vibrant. I love it and the quality is amazing!! Definitely worth every penny. I found this review on KVD's Mi Vida Loca palette that could help you making a decision on that palette, it helped me... so I thought I'd share! :P
