The limitless options make for the perfect holiday gift for any nail connoisseur.
I was really anxious to finally try out these Formula X shades. I went right for Dark Matter (an opaque patent leather black) and was surprised that I only needed ONE COAT to achieve an opaque application. It was hard to resist adding some attitude with the white-speckled Xplosives Top Coat in Chaotic, which is also infused with fine multi-glitter.
FORMULA X Holiday 2013 will be available beginning October 2013 at Sephora stores, by calling 1-877-SEPHORA or by logging on to Sephora.com via computer or smartphone.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Eye Set ($22.00): This limited-edition set allows you to create holiday looks from smoky to dazzling. The kohl eye pencil intensifies your eyes, while our bestselling Outrageous Volume Mascara provides your lashes with shocking volume for an ultra-glamorous effect. These classic Sephora products are a great value and make a fantastic gift!
SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE Lavish Jewel Gloss Set ($26.00): These magnificent glosses are formulated with a special blend of filming agents and pearls to provide maximum brightness and adherence. The moisturizing formula remains soft and creamy without stickiness, while adding lustrous color and mega shine for highly dimensional lip looks. These lovely glosses can be used alone or layered over the Pantone Holiday 2013 Velvet Lipstick.
SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE Radiant Cut Shadow Palette ($38.00) – Create a variety of looks and finishes with this all-in-one eye shadow palette. The elegant, pearlescent shadows can be applied dry for a hint of shimmer, or wet for a more intense look and longer wear. The creamy formula has high color payoff, and can be used to create soft, vibrant, or smoky eyes.
SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE Rare Brilliance Liner Set ($24.00) — This set of three luxurious eyeliner pencils in rich jewel tones contain polymers that help color glide on effortlessly and lock in pigment for a waterproof seal. The result is a smooth, long-wearing, and opulent holiday look. These eyeliners can also be used over different eye shadows for even more festive dazzle.
The Sephora Collection Holiday 2013 limited-edition sets will be available for a limited time only during Holiday 2013 in all Sephora stores, as well as by calling 1-877-SEPHORA or logging on to sephora.com via computer or smartphone.

Posted at 14:21h, 01 DecemberThe disco ball will surely add some bling to any Christmas tree. Perfect as a small “my best friend” gift when you place it on a friends tree while visiting after shopping before the big day. And I absolutely love the Plum Dazed Bling pallette. Purple is one of my favorite colors, the case is purplishous! And so are the colors inside.
