What current value sets/minis have y'all been loving?

Discussion

I really wanted to like Sephora's Superstars but can't justify spending that much for mostly back-up products. I'm trying to stay away from lip sets, because I'm so bad about using what I have already.

I've been eyeing Stila's mascara/liner combo but am slightly on the fence just because I'm not at all familiar with their mascara. Also the Sephora + Pantone color correcting palette dropped from $50 to $20 this week if anyone has thoughts on it.

What deals are you happy to have jumped on recently?

Open to any beauty products that deliver to the US!

I got the Bite Beauty set of four mini bullet lipsticks, and I love them. I use 3 of the 4 shades regularly. The only one I'm not super keen on is Sugarcane, which is the pink one. I just don't wear that kind of shade much in general.

Otherwise the formula is consistent with the big ones, so they're moisturizing, easy to apply and very pigmented. The tubes are a bit smaller than I expected, but you still get a decent amount of product for the price.

You could use sugarcane to ombré other lipsticks :)

That's true, thanks! I guess I need to think more creatively with my lipstick application.

I bought the two sets last year plus got the 100 point rewards. They don’t last. After less than a year, they’ve all gone soft, to the point where I can’t use them without chunks breaking off. I don’t have this problem with the full size and my bedroom (where I keep my makeup) is generally colder, so I don’t know why it’s happening. Just a heads-up. Kind of annoyed at how much money I wasted on these.

That's good to know, thanks. I'll keep an eye on them. That's very strange.

I just got this Stila set yesterday. I'm actually really excited to do some looks with it this weekend and use it with my Kat von d saint and sinner palette.

How do you find the fall out? I've been reading some reviews and people either love it or hate it because of the fall out

I haven't had any fall out. I've been using an eyeshadow primer, putting a light base of shadow down and then using my fingers to blend out the glitter... it's working well for me.

I haven't had any fall out. I don't even use a primer because I'm usually too lazy. My only complaint is it that it's a little slow to dry so if you put it all over your lid and then blink before it's dry you can get some transfer.

LOVE this set! Made an impulse haul from Sephora last week to get the TF LE Gingerbread Man matte lipstick & this little set. Happy Halloween ? to me. Both were worth it.

I am actually so sad that it is still not and probably will not be released in the uk 😭😭😭 , i really want kitten karma and diamond dust but can't commit to buying full size because i will only use them for night outs and event, and they are so expensive aswell :/

I took a walk through Ulta and saw that they have two Lorac alter ego lipstick sets - 5 lipsticks for $29. I might end up getting them for myself...

The smell on these prevented me from buying them - a little more chemically than normal.

I love the mini set of meet matte hughes liquid lipstick from the balm. I use all of the colors. I like it so much Ive repurchased for myself and have given it as a gift.

I loveeeeee the KVD Saint duo with the mini ELL and fragrance. There's a Sinner one as well but I skipped it because I don't really like the darker lip colour. But they're nice sets!

My problem is that I like the Sinner fragrance, but the Saint lipstick.

Midnight_Flowers•

Maybe find a friend or someone on r/makeupexchange who would split it with you?

I love the Sephora Give me More Lip box. I've already found two hgs in it: the Bobbi Brown lipstick (which I never would have tried) and the Tarte lip quench. I also love the Huda beauty liquid lip and the Urban Decay metallic lip. It's a great set if you want to get out of your comfort zone (and your comfort zone is mlbb/nude shades).

Covatis•

Yes! I bought this set to edge out of my neutrals comfort zone. I love that it gave me the opportunity to try new formulas without paying full price or going full sized.

I just ordered tarte's Lip Wardrobe Volume II because they're offering 17% off and free shipping (the free shipping really sold it for me) and I'm super excited because rosy nude and mauve are my go-to lip colors. I can't wait to see how they look!

I bought Kat Von D's Saint mini set. I love the perfume and the lipstick color (saint) is perfect for me!

I jumped on the jumbo sized BM Mineral Veil! It's almost 3x the product for $15 more than normal and it looks so nice.

I have brown skin and two of the lipsticks are brown also I don’t do black and there was a red that I hated so split easily

The Pantone palette is only useful for MUAs, way too many shades for one lady.

Jeffree Star's Volume 1: Nude mini liquid lipsticks! I have been loving them. You get a nice arrangement of "nudes," and this is my first time trying his liquid lipstick formula, and I'm obsessed. Way less drying than any other liquid lipstick I've used before.
