Sephora holiday sets are OUT OF CONTROL

[@ick.zosted]

Damn i wait for the farmacy green clean sets every year, cant believe they pulled a shrinkflation on us 😭

[@getawesome12]

sooooooo disappointed when I opened mine up

[@ick.zosted]

@@getawesome12 oh if I ordered it before seeing this video & opened those little lip balms I would've been piiiiiiissed

[@amandae7896]

Right like it’s already suchhh an expensive product 🙄

[@madscientistbell]

I'm so bummed. I get one a year and it lasts me all year. It was a full proof gift from my husband.

[@KaylaRobbPoodleQueen]

An hour long video?! Don’t mind if I do 🤩🙌🏻

[@melp8175]

Yipee!! 😂

[@beckysam3913]

Repeat after me: we dont need this shite. 😂 Save your money for college or retirement or holiday or healthy food and good skincare and use your makeup that is aleady overflowing out of your drawers before they expire 😊

[@shellykozun3813]

Beckysam, I love your comment!!!!

[@katieharris7219]

Lauren -- tubing mascara tip: use that benefit fanfest mascara that you love the way it looks on your lashes and top it with the caliray--or any tubing formula. It will "seal" the regular mascara in the tubes and no smudging or transfer! At least this way you can use up what you already have. ❤❤❤

[@SusanD101]

I am trying to NOT buy makeup.

[@LEbackstage]

And every year we dont get the Sephora Favourites Sets in Germany. The 2 we have, have been the same for years and mostly Sephora brand products 😢 we're lucky if the different brands come out with a holiday set to get them. But most of the time, we don't get limited edition products. Or we get a few of them sometime next year 😂 but you can't compare them to what you get.

[@brendaburks188]

When you called tarte unhinged for their $330 value estimate and laughed. Best part.

[@knitntherapist7520]

One of my fave type of videos! Every time, I’m making that per ml, per gram cost calculation!

[@suegreene7841]

Unfortunately I feel like Sephora it’s just a rip off in general I really don’t like the way they give points or make you spend them on the little teeny tiny samples. I’m sticking with alter where I rack up the points and can get good items with my rewards.

[@kd1330]

these sets are killing me, especially ones coming from merit 😭😭

[@patr70]

Many of these won't sell and will be "on sale" even before Christmas. Many people can barely afford food right now.. so I doubt they'll be paying full price for many of these overpriced "gift" sets.

[@teufel75]

Currently waiting for the blush balm one to hit Sephora. According to Merit, it should already be there but they haven’t added it to Sephora’s website yet

[@Thistastesbad]

I wish we could get the different scents of farmacy here in Canada like we used to. We can only get the Green clean now. Not too sure why that is?

[@sabrinaa8948]

We can't get the Clinique cleansing balm anymore either! It was my favourite

[@Katsluxurynails]

So many of these sets are mostly just sample trial sizes that Sephora gives out for free with purchase all throughout the year. I already have most of these samples and don’t need another small makeup bag 🙃

[@kate98765]

lol tarte “this palette is 112$ value” please

[@Raniasmakeupaddiction]

Here for this!! I need to be talked out of most of these! WTF those Farmacy are tiny! I was considering the set.

[@Claudia634]

I was confused by you saying the Rare Beauty oil in the lip set was a mini. The picture shows a full size so it's false advertising!! I wouldn't be surprised if people bought it for the full size Rare Beauty because they didn't read the description

[@Claudia634]

And the Summer Fridays lip balm in the blush set, the picture they used is a shrunk version of the full size instead of the mini?? What is going on 😂

[@LP-ct9nk]

Companies are absolutely INSANE for releasing holiday sets (or holiday anything) in September. People in real life that I talk too are looking at me strange for discussing Halloween plans (and that’s next month) I can’t imagine that they’re actually paying attention to these. Similarly I feel like a lot of makeup junkies are tightening their wallets, so again not sure of releasing this type of stuff now

[@patr70]

If you didn't notice many people can barely afford food right now.. so these companies are [desperate] to make sales.

[@roxannecoffey5428]

I got the touchland hand sanitizer sets. Personally I really like the scents. Same texture as the others. I especially like the salted caramel one.

[@pumpkinpurrs1]

Don’t worry, I love how you break down each item and it’s shade! So helpful 😭🙏🏻 It can be overwhelming

[@Impassion]

I caved and bought the Summer Fridays Mini Neutrals set. I've never tried them...... I knew the coffee one would probably smell more like artificial coffee liquer or something, but I hope it isn't too mapley! I don't like maple! Arg! Oh well. I still want it! 😄 I want the Sephora set with the fuschia fuzzy bag, mostly just for the bag.... I really don't want any more cream blush products. Not my favorite. I like just swooshing on powdered blush with ease rather than one more product I have to blend and babysit and have it dry out before I even make a dent in it.

[@runaroundsuzanne9599]

Algorithm

[@ironicallyfit518]

Nothing like paying more for less. They truly think consumers are stupid 🙄 Funny because I just rewatched your last year's video on the sets 😂

[@madscientistbell]

I am so bummed about the Farmacy set. I have my husband buy one for me every Christmas and it lasts me a full year. I checked their website and I was sad to see they didn't have a full size vaule set there either.I would rather have 3 full size. Also for a brand that tries to promote their products as eco friendly it seems like even more plastic in this set.

[@stereotypea123]

Not to be parasocial but I feel cool that you liked the same sets that I liked 😂😅😅

[@sydeezy17]

I love the Makeup By Mario blush veils! I have two of them and I want more! So that first kit is oooo tempting.Although the Lunar Beauty liquid blushes are a wonderful blush as well for more of a matte/natural finish! I have three of those and I use them almost every single day. I also want to try the Caliray primer! Hmmm. So much to choose from!

[@Carolina432]

Do you have a hair product/routine vid? I have the same type of hair as yours. Thank you so much for the perfume set breakdown. I was planning on buying it, but now I see it wouldn't make sense price wise.

[@kristinafontaine3097]

YEESSS I have been waiting for this video 😍😍

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

🩷😊🩷

[@sideeffect2]

Love your makeup look in this 😍😊

[@jessicadeerly]

I picked up the tower 28 set! There is one limited edition shade and I believe it’s still available on their website for anyone interested 😊

[@getawesome12]

yesssss sugar plum! I was able to snag a set

[@cassieb9031]

I got it too but I returned it! I loved the formula but the watermelon and the dulce one smelt so bad to me 😭 idk like medicine or like kids smelling products?? I recommend trying in store first! But I loved the sugar plum one

[@cherylturgeon6237]

What eyeshadow are you wearing? It’s absolutely beautiful 👍🏻💓

[@heatherwalsh7036]

I recommend the aloe vera scent for the touchland hand sanitizers.

[@jessicalawton1]

Hi lauren! Charlotte Tillbury just brought back all of her pop shots! I just ordered my first one :)

[@amandapanda75]

I got alot of the minis sets, both summer Fridays, kosas, and tower 28, love my minis!

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

Could you test some eyelash enhancing serums? That would be so interesting!

[@stereotypea123]

I’m not always going for the best monetary value with value sets…sometimes I just want to try a lot of different things that I’ve had my eye on since I can’t afford to buy all the makeup individually full size.

[@marshaanderson4756]

Last night I was like...I feel a Lauren video coming on!

[@notimportant123]

Those perfume sets used to be like $70 + 20% off during the sale! I got Vanilla Woods for $54.

[@wordsfromleetoyou]

yay! a nice long video after a long day of packing for a move 💜 The "Samuel" really got me 😂

[@NeiNailss]

I was waiting for this video from you! I met you because of these videos last year! 🤩

[@adelaideelfie4922]

Lauren! what is on your eyes and lips today (and brows for that matter)- I want!! I went to all of your affiliate links, under makeup details, is it the hourglass prism, and the ND palette- I see in the vid you said the ND warm, I need to get that one! I do not see lips listed, what did you use? I love this look!! TY for the breakdown, I am still watching but I had to find out what you had on your face today. You are always so beautiful :)

[@shandysawh3071]

Im most tempted by the Fenty trio. I only have the original Gloss Bomb,so this would be an excellent value for me. Im also into the Tarte Blush trios,but I can't order from either Tarte or the Ulta site unfortunately.

[@samanthabrenner8102]

Right off the bat, thank you for talking about the farmacy set! I love those sets and all the different scents but those are tiiiiiny… I’m taking it out of my cart right now😅

[@marinabrola]

Jao set might be gone as well as Tower28 lippies

[@RaeRae1100]

You're looking so fierce yet classyyyyy

[@kimforeman5409]

You look really beautiful today.

[@melisssamidian]

A great video. Good honest reviews

[@eviejameson4706]

I always rush to the website but somehow everything I want is always sold out 😢

[@shellykozun3813]

Evie, I’ve noticed that too

[@simplythebestgirl]

😢😢😢

[@stephanied6711]

I love these types of videos

[@stephanied6711]

I hate my eyebrows

[@priyasinha3889]

Your eyes are DAZZLING today! Thank you for the long vid!!

[@laura10777]

This video was so thorough! Much appreciated!

[@maggieboone5813]

You brought this to my attention....as pretty as the Anastasia glittery glosses are I can feel the "sparkle". ....now I'm looking for fee the sparkle in stuff....I wear it anyways thoughl

[@BLH93519]

Look at the swatches for the Sephora favorites kits, literally all the same colors no matter the product

[@lindasadler6338]

I got the Sephora Bold and Blushing set and both of the full size blushes are SO PRETTY! Worth the $42 for sure.

[@pixiedust9342]

I love watching your videos Some of the things you say just crack me up 😂😅

[@sydeezy17]

i love the mini bullet lipsticks ONLY because i will never go through a full size ❤

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

I *think* fresh took out the lanolin to make it vegan (and the sheep have to be sheared!!!!!) and screwed up the formula that way. Same as what happened with the bite beauty lip mask.

[@coastlines]

That Tarte blush set is so tempting! But I already picked up the Kosas blush trio (not gonna open it until Christmas, though). I also got the Summer Fridays and Tower 28 lip sets to split for gifting, AND the Sol De Janeiro three-piece set from Ulta also as a gift. These companies got me this year, ngl. 🙈

[@embodiedsinger436]

Your makeup and the lighting is so extra beautiful in this video! Gorg! 😻

[@yassercastillo2607]

I got the mini rose inc lipstick set and they are good quality even tho they are small. The charlotte tilbury ones are very flimsy so i can imagine most mini bullets being fragile. I rarely finish a lipstick tho...

[@Miraa_Renee]

I feel like the holiday collections came out super early this year

[@patr70]

I already bought 2 Jo Malone Holiday sets. Each ones comes with three differenr "Cologne Intense" 10ml spray bottle scents. Good for stocking stuffers 🌠

[@ashcraft555]

The Wynn Beauty tubing mascara is really nice. I bought it during 10x at Ulta and already bought a backup.

[@shortaygirl]

Lauren the way I audibly gasped at how TINY the Farmacy cleansing balms were! I am so glad you showed it to us! I would have been none the wiser if I added it to my cart. What a tragic waste. I look forward to these every single year but this is not it. Also your makeup in this video is absolutely flawless. I’m in love ❤️

[@sarahrendon2480]

I bought the 3 mini blushes from kosas and could not be happier!!!!! I wish they would sell minis. They are so good.

[@jhummz]

An hour long video andddd it’s about holiday sets?? Yess!!

[@teresacapozzoli1822]

I loved this video. Thank you so much. I changed my mind on some because I didn’t realize they are so tiny!❤

[@brendaburks188]

I'm with you. I hate the mini lipstick bullets! They don't feel sturdy, they break, and they don't cover your lips in the same way like a full size lipstick does.

[@michelledeboer8834]

For me, I'll be skipping all the ser. I hate minis. The value isn't there for me. If they came out with a Sephora set that you had to pay more but with all full sizes. I would pay more for that. I do like the cologne and perfume sets

[@melp8175]

Girl , you’ve already saved me on the farmacy lip balms (😂) and Sephora sets ( teeny tiny ) thx ❤

[@pixiedust9342]

What do you wear for your eyebrows? And what color they look fabulous?I also have blonde hair and no eyebrows😮😅

[@stereotypea123]

My yearly reminder to not touch the Fresh lip balm sets 🙏🙏🙏 also I’m seeing the full size in the Ipsy store a lot lately.

[@ylvandamme]

I love these videos. Your makeup is so soft and flattering. Love your videos, I never miss them

[@AKbaby89]

Ngl, i got a First Aid Beauty holiday bundle in exchange for a review, and im super happy with it. It has their cleanser, lip balm, radiance pads, and the tub of their OG moisturizer. I wish I got one of the bundles that came with a bag cuz the bags were super cute imo, but I do like the products in my bundle the best out of all of them. The only holiday beauty set im getting, is going to be the Trader Joes advent calendar, and ill be buying 2 this year cuz 1 wasnt enough last year😂

[@kristaw206]

aaaah it's finally here! It's so weird not even Oct lol

[@maryarmstrong2231]

That 20 ml of cleansing hall is like one wash for me😂

[@sydeezy17]

I buy the Lash To Gos every year and then by the time my birthday comes in October I order me a full size with my birthday gift 🎁 It’s totally worth it for me!

[@georgiawilson644]

the farmacy set 😭😭 like why not do the same size as last years !!

[@Lavishandlazy]

The thumbnail is everything 😂

[@sigs1695]

I got the touchland salted carmel and it smells great! As a blind buy I wasn’t too optimistic but it surprised me, I can’t smell the hand sanitizer in it at all. Definitely smells more like a body spray to me.

[@NaberhoodTism]

I was obsessed with the Cult Advant Calendar last year.. i just saw this years and im so disappointed. Way less full size products and a lot of repeats from last year that i didnt like or havent even finished 😢

[@monicamendoza4002]

The loss’s blush trio and the tower 28 lip set are both gone!

[@kate98765]

It is good that tarte has two colorway options in these holiday kits

[@cierraaforever]

12:36 i like mini bullets as someone who loves wearing lipstick from time to time and rotates. i don’t have a go to everyday lipstick, that’s normally where my lip balms come in so a mini is good just in terms of use. but i do agree they tend to lack strength

[@skysbeauty3369]

I'm so happy you posted this! I'm in the Christmas shopping mode right now for my girls. I have 4 girls and 1 boy. She's 16 - 4 month old so my teens and pre teens are the ones I'm interested in buying so they can test it out. The Sol De Janeiro has some really good gift sets I'm getting for my older girls, definitely!

[@kellywolfe5930]

Great video 💙💛❤💚💜 always a like 👍👍

[@BeautyAndTheFrizz]

There are soooooo many sets!!!!

As usual but particularly in this video 🤩

[@Cesbeswreathsanddecors]

[@notimportant123]

I bought the Kosas set from their website. The exact 3 shades I was eyeing. Also the Summer Fridays lip mini and travel sets. I use the jetlag moisturizer for travel anyway so it was worth it.

[@moonflower1616]

Super down in the dumps and then I see that bestie Lauren dropped an hour long video. 🥲💖

[@haleydaynegoold4366]

Just ordered a store pick up for the touchland seasonal set! 🧡🎃🍂☕️🤎

[@simplythebestgirl]

The only thing I really want is another bottle of Sol de Janeiro 59. It's one of my favorites this year. 🫶💗🫶
