Lust or Bust | Holiday Collections 2017 | Kat Von D, Bite Beauty, Clinique, Ciate, Buxom, Lancome, and Urban Decay.

More holiday!? You guessed it, girl. So much stuff this year… so much. In today’s edition of Lust or Bust – Holiday Collections we are talking about what’s new from Kat Von D, Ciate, Buxom, Clinique, Bite Beauty and Urban Decay. So many goodies.

Let’s get started.

Saint & Sinner Lipstick + Fragrance Travel Duo

Starting with KVD, we have these cute little travel duos as part of the Saints & Sinners Collection. These were releases for like a day back when the perfume launched but they brought them back for the holidays.

What you have is a choice of is the Saint duo which contains a travel sized bottle of the Saint fragrance and a coordinating Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Saint, a peachy rose. In the Sinner Duo you gave the same format but with the Sinner fragrance and a mini Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Saint, a midnight plum shade.

These are great sets in my opinion. I would love to have the Sinner one because I like the lippy and the Sinner fragrance over Saint but I do like the lippy in Saint. $27 is a fair price too.

Everlasting Obsession Lip Liner Collector’s Edition

Next up from KVD is the Everlasting Obsession Lip Liner Collector’s Edition. Girl, that is a lot of money for 15 lip liners coming in a $200! Pass!!! Sorry, not Sorry Kat. The price point on these liners is too much in my opinion. Considering not many of us reach for blue, green, and lavender lip liners that often. Even with my personal style, I don’t have use for those shades, then again I guess I am kind of boring with my goth/alternative style.

This set contains:

•  15 x 0.1 oz/ 0.3 g Everlasting Lip Liner in Skully (raven black), Lemmy (rock ‘n’ roll green), Poe (navy blue), Satellite (electric blue), Sinner (midnight plum), Coven (lavender), L.U.V. (rich violet), X (vibrant cherry red), Sexer (fluorescent pink), Kevvy (peach nude), Saint (peachy rose), Lolita II (terra cotta nude), D-Minor (warm almond), Outlaw (brick red), Bloodmilk (rich oxblood)

Ciate is killing this year!

Chloe Morello’s Beauty Haul by Ciate London Volume 2

Chloe Morello’s Beauty Haul Volume 2 is awesome!  The eyeshadows in the palette are gorgeous. You have your warm tones, purples, cool shades and greens in a mix of finishes. This is a well-rounded palette worth the $42 alone. You also get a full-size liquid liner, a mini mascara, and a mini Liquid Velvet. I love the formula of the Liquid Velvets and Sydney is a great shade that can lend itself to any eyes look you could make with the palette. This is on my wishlist for sure.
