Event: Christmas 2014 at Sephora

Most people dread Christmas gift shopping, but heyyyy I’ve been told I’m pretty good at gifting. But judging from the awesome previews I saw at Sephora’s Press event last week, I doubt anyone will have trouble this year (especially if you’re present hunting for a beauty junkie like me hah). Here’s a preview of what you’ll be seeing in stores in Sephora this year ~x

NYX COSMETICS

I have a soft spot for this brand simply cos they were the official makeup sponsors for one of my favouritestest shows RuPaul’s Drag Race for several seasons. WERK HUNTY, WERK!

That bias aside, NYX cosmetics has really awesome palettes that are both wearable and affordable.

Palettes for just $15 each. ZOMG.

I love these Dream Catcher palettes that slide out to reveal a mirror underneath - 10 colours at just $30 each. Seriously guys – best buy ever!

NAILS INC

Nails Inc has collaborated with Alexa Chung to come up with a range of textured nail colours such as Lace, Cashmere, Leather, and more. They’ve also got a range of Gel Effect nail vernis that will give you the high shine effect of gel nails without having to undergo the UV experience.

And last but not least – from Sephora itself: many colourful palettes for both the eye and lips

Of course, these aren’t the only offerings for Christmas – there will be much more (that I didn’t get to shoot). See below for some sets that I fancy :D
