Its that time of year again. The Lamcome traincases. Its one of those holiday features you can just ALWAYS count on coming out. I have purchased it in the past (usually to split up with someone) and it is once again something I am debating. Now one of the department stores near me has a hard time selling these
and usually about a week or two before Christmas they just start selling them without enforcing the PURCHASE WITH PURCHASE aspect.
They come in warm and cool as always, and inside is a full-size Définicils mascara, a full-size Bi-Facial makeup remover, a full-size Le Crayon kohl eyeliner, full sized Blush Subtil, 3 full-sized Color Design eyeshadows, 2 full sized Color Design lipcolors, a full-size Juicy Tubes lip gloss as well as two makeup brushes, a deluxe sample of La Base pro makeup primer, a deluxe sample New Advanced Génifique youth activating concentrate along with a train case and an artistry guide.
Is it worth the usually $49.50-$69.50 price tag? Well for the full sized items alone,
Now, I couldnt add the bi-facil to the order as it was sold out, but since it has the same retail price as the l'absolu rouge la base I put that in instead. So the retail value of JUST the full sized products is $275. The only thing that is different from the ones purchased to ones in this set are the lipsticks. They may be full sized regular lipsticks, but they come in the packaging that is more simple. The packaging of the gift with purchase lipsticks as opposed to the ones you purchase.
So if I have the opportunity to pick up the entire set for simply the $60 or so bucks its costs, would I? Time will tell. I'd like to think that THIS year I will stick to my self imposed no buy before heading to Los Angeles for IMATS, but I also know myself!

I think I have to buy this collection!
ReplyDeletethis is great! If I could get it for just the price of it I probably would!
