PLEASE DON’T GET RIPPED OFF! Best + Worst Sephora Holiday Sets 2024 🎁

[@AndreaMatillano]

I didn’t get to film a video like I normally do so just a heads up that Ulta’s Fall Haul Event starts today! You can check out the full list deals here: howl.me/cm8TxGhtbZd. I personally like this sale better than the 21 Days of Beauty because a lot of drugstore and affordable brands are on sale. (affiliate link)

[@lindasadler6338]

I feel like these gift sets are targeted towards dads, husbands, boyfriends or significant others who don’t know anything about makeup but just want to buy a gift. 😂

[@johnniedunford2464]

I like then to break up and give as little gift to my dog sitter, a coworker, etc.

[@AndreaMatillano]

It’s true. My husband would definitely be one to grab that Tarte set and I couldn’t even be anything but excited because he would be so excited about it. 😂😭

[@erinwilliams9920]

So true !!

[@cayladeanne]

The way you went off on Tarte for the price of the pallet set was hilarious! No need to apologize. You were spot on. I love these videos Andrea 😆💕

[@beckybertish7841]

That is such a stretch just wow, tarte is overselling themselves..😂 I wonder who came up with that😂

[@AndreaMatillano]

😂💗 I’m glad it didn’t come off in the wrong way. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@dokidash7052]

Yeeees I love my analyzer queen!!! I swear you're the only KZbinr who does analyze everything to a granular level!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh I appreciate you watching! It means so much! 🥰

[@sandylay5831]

Summer Fridays is the only I like so far. Love when you do this

[@MilleyGirl]

I have shoulder-length hair and purchased the sephora hair sets for the last couple years and found them all to be an incredible value. Maybe 1 or 2 products are gifted out, but in general, the set lasts me a solid year, therefore making it a fairly inexpensive hair care routine. I wash my hair 2x per week with shampoo(purchased separately) and use the products in the kit for conditioner, masks, etc...and when I find a product I love in the set, I usually purchase a full size later on. Happy shopping ladies!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Wow that’s super good to know! 🙌 Thank you so much for sharing your input on it!

[@lolwhat2628]

$336 is laughable tarte is crazy

[@Sadimc_beauty]

I love the deconstructing of the sets! As a frugal beauty girl at heart, it makes me so happy. Always love a good beauty chat for what’s worth it! ❤

[@Karina-lu2yv]

I love and appreciate the work you put into breaking down the value! I ended up purchasing a set from one of your previous videos! I'm not impulsive when it comes to makeup purchases, the item was on my list already, but your analysis made so much sense, it helped me to make a decision, thank you :)

[@rebeccawilson7953]

I love a face palette and wanted to get the hourglass last year but missed out. I already received it this year and used it today. I bought the dragon and have fair skin and it is perfect.

[@sandybowers5085]

Ooh, you look absolutely beautiful in yellow❣️🍁🌞🌻🌼🍋💛

[@jodyknapp5374]

I love watching you analyze these sets. Obviously if my heart is set on trying something I like I should at least understand I might not get the best bang for my buck lol but it really helps me when when you point out the real value of these kits. Love love love your videos. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤

[@kilikiana]

Tarte has gotten so much better within the last year! The pallets are for sure an overemphasized value, but the price is still good for 3, 8 shadow pallets, I might grab it.. but the massive lip package is coming home with me!

[@christykang9670]

Girl math in me is so happy to stumble upon the video. This is how i used to calculate things to determine whether i wanted to gift the gift sets for my friends in christmas when i was on a student budget. The tartes laughable value is so true not their first time doing so. Other brands like too faced ive seen that as well hahaha

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

If I saw that tarte value I would assume there was a massive typo and/or just laugh my butt off. 😂😂

[@beckybertish7841]

I need to know who approved that!😂

[@Lifewitharielmarie]

Tarte saying their palettes are worth essentially the price of a Pat McGrath palette made me laugh out loud. Like I agree with you. Their shadows aren’t bad but they aren’t PM good!

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

Thank you for breaking these down from a logical point of view. If I want something in a set lately I've been buying a mini of the shade I want if available. You look so pretty in yellow.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s a really good practice! I used to buy so many sets but I try to be practical these days because then I end up with a lot of products I don’t need or shares I wouldn’t wear! Thank you so much for watching. 🥰

[@Tatttiii]

I love these videos so much!! Thank you for being so detailed and descriptive. Thank you for the time and effort put into this . 🤗💖💖

[@carolynnettles3767]

I’m the one who loves the mini lip balms because I feel like I can’t get through a full size 😂 if I feel the price is decent, I’m grabbing it. I probably will pick up the mini set from Summer Fridays. Only set I’m interested in ❤

[@RodessaNewton]

These are the best videos thanks so much for putting so much effort into them!

[@VicesinMyHead]

Not me looking through your videos to refresh my memory before I drop anything in my cart. 😂❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

😂💗 You’ll have to let me know if you grab anything!

[@VicesinMyHead]

@AndreaMatillano I will! I've been trying to line carts to pick between products. I've been unwell for a very long time, and putting on makeup hasn't been a priority for awhile (energy conservation because my body is being dumb), but I'm ready for some pretty self-care for my mental health. Wish me luck! And thank you for being you! I don't refer back to anyone else's videos for makeup reviews when shopping because I know you cover my personal needs (product-wise and information-wise) best, and that is gold to me. ❤️🥇💖 Now, I think I just need to binge all your vids and take notes. 😂😂😂

[@2xr1ssx]

Girl pink sugar is CRACK! Idk what they put in It but the flavor/smell is soooooooo good! You have to try It 😅

[@marianatrillo1411]

I bought the hourglass palette on the deepest complection colors and I totally lived it ( it was kind of my own birthday present for myself ❤ I always wanted one) I'm light to medium but really loved that color palette and it is pretty manageable since you can sheer the product down ❤ I'm really happy, always wanted one

[@cprk]

Thanks for doing these Re the hourglass palette, I wouldn’t use all the powders so yes not worth it for me. I have the mini bronzer which I’ll still never finish and I love the project but it is very hard to fit a bronzer brush in that mini, especially when you want to swirl and get a good mix of the marbleized one I have.

[@eliseraifman4766]

I bought the Kosas blush set after watching one of your videos and I love it. The three bushes are in beautiful shades and even as minis they are quite a substantial size and will take me forever to use up. Definitely worth it! Thanks for breaking it down.

[@deeluther3108]

Road to 400k Love that Thumbnail Tho Absolutely Beautifully You Are Ur Makeup Always Look Gorgeous Enjoy your Sunday Too Happy Magnificent Week Ahead Stay Bless N Be safe Always

[@AndreaMatillano]

Happy Sunday! Thank you for being here so early. 💗🥰 Have the best week!

[@Patti-1962]

I decided to buy the Hourglass Veil loose powder mini, just to try it out. I don't use a lot of powder, so it has lasted SO long. I did discover that the Elf Halo Glow powder looks the same or better on my skin, so I won't be repurchasing it....but I'm glad I bought the mini size!

[@lauraturner7048]

Thank you for the breakdown. I want the Tarte palettes and lip kit, for sure. But the over-valuation of the Tarte palettes are laughable. Subscribed.

[@cailllou25]

OK, now you have to tell us what to do with so soooo many lip balms 😀 (thank you, Andréa, you're the best!)

[@catherinesvbialosh7260]

I cannot wait to watch 🤗🤗 Your makeup is perfection!! You look so good in yellow 🤗🤗

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh thank you so much! 🥰

[@maryfletcher3906]

Wanted the summer fridayset. The small one made no sense. The larger ones made better sense. Got that one.

[@AndreaMatillano]

It’s a really great deal! I’m glad you were able to get your hands on it! 🙌

[@marielle7505]

To each their own, but I don't understand that people actually spend $36,- on a lip balm! Even the set price, $55,- for two of them, is utterly ridiculous to me. It's a lip balm! This intire lip balm hype train is not for me, I just don't understand it.

[@Pip-n-wes]

My Cay Skin lip packing broke after using it a few times. I ended up putting the product in an empty lip gloss tube.

[@marianatrillo1411]

First of all, you look gorgeous on this video ❤ that lip combo looks great on you Thank you for breaking down all the sets for us 🎉 you are the best

[@sydeezy17]

The cool thing about Tartes kits is you can split them up for stocking stuffers or gifts for multiple people. ❤

[@marielle7505]

I really enjoy your video's on sets. I really try to be mindful and not look at the 'savings' as much. Yes, there is a saving, but only if you would buy each item separately. But would you....? For most sets, the answer for me personally would be: no, I would not have bought each item separately.

[@carolinaventura2768]

Yayyy! New video❤ I don't just enjoy these videos but all of your videos🤭I've been following you for years because I'm obsessed with your content✨Thanks Andrea💕

[@ABCEggplant]

Love these videos. Sol De Janeiro every year has terrible value sets. When you add in the 10-20% off for the savings event, it makes it a little better. a little. Their minis really are grossly marked up. I think the same thing when I buy the jumbo shampoo/conditioners! Makes the normal ones feel like overpriced minis.

[@PMat-d6k]

I just got an email from tarte for the 10 piece set. I only have one of them already and I had $25 in rewards so I snatched it up. I own some of the originals, and plumping, and a liner and love them all. So with my discount I got them for $7.50 each. Which is less than drugstore prices! So excited to get a 'good deal'. Makeup prices are getting out of control so I have really tightened the reins on my purchases and only buy things I really want and think I will love.

[@sherrypettit5552]

I basically wasted my money on the Hourglass Elephant palette. It became hard panned real fast on me. Now last year I went for the Snaks palette because of all the new shades. I picked the Owl to put it in. I love that palette. Not interested in buying anymore.

[@kilikiana]

I’m so sorry that happened to you. My elephant pallet is still going strong. I use it at least once a week. The only downside for me is that the bronzer wasn’t dark enough

[@angelapitts9621]

The Color Wow foam is actually so good!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo good to know! Do you think it makes your hair sticky?

[@Thedancingfishyyy]

I wanted to try that for so long! Glad to hear it’s good!

[@ayeshasayeed6857]

The biggest con of the cay lip balm is the packaging and how hard it is for the formula to come out the tube 😢

[@simplyellenxo95]

Thank you for your honesty!❤

[@dianawalter1446]

Love this video. Thank you for all the work and time to provide this information. Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MariErinxx003]

since patrick starr foundation doesnt work with gripping primers and i need my foundation to last all day should i skip it? i care about longevity and stuff not breaking up. i love that it is full coverage and matte though

[@notimportant123]

I bought 2 of the summer fridays mini sets. They always sell out. I bought it last year and I still have some. I'm also interested in the hair set, I usually buy them and use for travel. Might wait till the sale for that.

[@louisesharpy]

Best series ever!! I can always count on you for a great video

[@EXOmakemeHorololo]

😊I love the Tarte sets because they are good value for the quality of the products. Tarte has really updated their eyeshadow quality the last 2+ years and has some very sparkly or foiled shades. The mattes are so easy to use. I love all their powders and lip products 😊don't know why they make up some of these crazy values 😅

[@Rebecca_Nicole]

I thought I was the only one! I love the original tarte maracuja juicy lip balms and I have the mini jewel palette that I also really like. I'm not justifying their prices, but if I'm happy with what I purchased at the price I purchased it, then the purchase was successful!

[@kaylasimone5988]

I’m honestly disappointed in the size of the minis in the Summer Fridays set. I wish they were at least 7g like they were in this years birthday gift, instead of only being 4g🤷🏽‍♀️

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh wow I didn’t realize the birthday gift set came with that size this year! That would have been nice to see in the holiday set too.

[@maritza1409]

LOVE Your hair color! 😍

[@AndreaMatillano]

That's so nice of you! Thank you so much!

[@kateliness2]

Love these types of videos!

[@AngiePhiffer79]

One thing about the Hourglass palettes this year is most of the shades in them are new shades.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s really good to know! Thank you for sharing this! 💗

[@gigi2k326]

26:55 this is this channels charm. Thanks

[@mistytells]

No Tarte palette they’ve ever made is worth $112. 😂 It should be against to law to fabricate the price like that. Shady af!

[@genevieveve]

I want to know how these multi-brand sets happen. Like does Sephora pick what goes in these and forces the brands through contract to supply tiny items at a discounted price? Or do brands apply or volunteer to be a part of these sets?

[@AndreaMatillano]

I know I’m so curious too! It’s interesting because some of the full-size choices are amazing but some feel like leftover product that won’t sell too.

[@denameneades9126]

Thank you for all your hard work.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for watching! 💗

[@tamaraschmidt2614]

Love your videos and your girl next door type.

[@Helloweirdos1]

Man, some of those tarte kits are tempting!

[@AndreaMatillano]

I love that they did so many different Maracuja Juicy Lip sets this year!

[@SavsReality]

I so badly want to see you and Alexandria Ryan collab!

[@debbiekoonce1806]

The one and only summer fridays i bought was full of air i think.ive never emptied a lip product and it was just gone .very disappointed

[@lavayuki]

Glow Recipe, Benefit mascara sets, and the seasonal Farmacy cleansing balm trio with the limited ed holiday scents are the only sets I tend to buy.... but in the January sales lol. I am a cheapskate. I don't think any of these appeal to me as they aren't brands I am particularly a fan off tbh. I wish ND did a nice set. Pat mc graths holiday collection caught my eye though

[@JaxDianne]

These videos are so helpful. Thank You for doing the math.

[@klhmjt]

❤ your perspective! 😊

[@MariErinxx003]

hi how does the patrick starr one size foundation work with the regular milk makeup hydro grip? and how does the makeup by mario powder compare to huda beauty? is one more blurring than the other?

[@AndreaMatillano]

I actually didn’t have great luck with the Patrick Starr foundation and any sort of gripping primer! For some reason, it makes the foundation cake up and apply unevenly so I definitely prefer it with a smoothing primer. The Makeup by Mario powder is even more blurring and lighter weight than Huda but Huda is longer lasting and definitely more mattifying!

[@MariErinxx003]

@@AndreaMatillano oh no! maybe i should skip the foundation then? i only wear gripping primers due to my oily skin lol. i need my foundation to be like sweat proof and not move ya know? what r ur thoughts on it

[@debbiekoonce1806]

I got the tarte palettes 20 percent off so it was 45.they are very good .

[@sjohn3580]

I really wished the summer Friday the normal size set had different colors.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I feel that way too! If they had a set of neutrals, I probably would have grabbed it too!

[@sherrypettit5552]

I used to buy them last year and the year before. I find the one I always want is sold out. They are too exppensive anymore or they ave the same items.

[@hemjavgoli3191]

Appreciate your dedicated analysis🫶 , as consumers WE need to make better choices in our spending! Especially in todays’s outrageous economy ! 💸

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for your comment! I agree. Everything is so expensive these days so I’ve definitely been analyzing purchases more than ever!

[@MsCarterElise]

I wish we lived in a world where brands had to adhere to strict standards about value estimates. Like a third party assessment or something.

[@blairemadisonco]

OMG that Tarte set….😭😂😂

[@specialsasha6506]

I used to buy thinking it was a good deal. Once I open the package the expiry date is in between 30-40 days

[@susanbarnard4098]

Really love these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so so much for watching! 🥰

[@jennawoodard8386]

Tarte made the same claim last year with the 3 palettes.

[@hiddenpearl22]

I wish these brands do surveys what people really want in these sets or ask me 😅 they will sale more sets.

[@yourfuturewaifu9061]

They have people dedicated to this kind of thing working for them to engineer and price these products, so they def know what sells. These are meant for your average consumer, so even though you may not see value in it, consider who it may actually be aimed at.

[@GraceBassler]

I think these gifts are great for someone who has siblings! Get a gift set and split it up for all my sisters!

[@MariaSantos-ml1wv]

I love how you always try to be fair. But gurrrlll…Tarte is absolutely out of their mind! There I said it for you!

[@AndreaMatillano]

😂 I’m glad you said it! Honestly I just can’t follow their train of thought on this one!

[@MichelleReba]

The hourglass packaging get me every year when they are pretty much all the same

[@ashleymyers2779]

The sephora sets seem to get worse every year. I remember back in like the 2014-2019 era and these sets were total bangers.

[@hiddenpearl22]

These sets worth the price during sales only 😅

[@AndreaMatillano]

The sales are definitely the time to grab them! 🙌

Unless the tarte palette components have actual gold plating, there is 0% chance that those are worth $336 bucks. 😆😂🤣

Right? The packaging looks really gorgeous but $336? 😭😂

[@mistytells]

I mean the facts are the facts. How can people get mad at you for calculating the truth?

[@mistytells]

Am I the only person who LOVES the toofaced lip injection plumping liners? The shade puffy nude is PERFECTION. I haven’t heard one person say they like them. I know it’s off topic.

[@CatKim2]

I like them. I don't find them too intense. So there's two of us!

[@mistytells]

@@CatKim2 oh ok. I thought maybe I was delusional. Like, am I seeing things? Are these as good as I’m making them out to be?

[@yourfuturewaifu9061]

Ive heard positive things from people who like lip plumpers. Def not for me, though.

[@twinflower03]

The Cay Skin lip balm tasted so much like sunscreen….. it made me sick to my stomach! I returned it.

I always wear it up but not usually when I’m filming! My filming days usually line up with hair washing days so that’s when I have extra time to actually curl it for the next few days.

[@cassidykeslinger6336]

@AndreaMatillano do you know when Merit does their Holiday??

[@jenniferforeman1599]

I really really really really really really would appreciate if you would try the Maybelline define a lash in the lime green cylindrical tube on your channel. I have been using this since the early early 90s. I still to this day have not found a mascara that's as good as what this is. It does not clump it leaves your lashes very long it doesn't smudge it leaves them full I'm telling you you absolutely love this mascara and it is ultra black. I don't know if they have a brown I don't use Brown mascara but I'm telling you you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please try this mascara!!!!!!! Again it's one that that's in the lime green cylindrical tube they have another one that has like a weird shape to it that's not it. It's just a regular plain old tube. You have a really hard time finding it in the store but I know you can order it off of Amazon it is only $7.99!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! I will be watching as always hoping to see you try it

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh I would totally try it because it sounds amazing but I only use cruelty-free beauty products and Maybelline isn’t considered cruelty-free! 😭 If they end up going cruelty-free, I will definitely try it out! 💗
