We've been waiting all year for this... This year's holiday preview event is almost here! I am currently in New York City to attend this oh-so-exciting holiday event which takes place tomorrow! For anyone who was around in 2017, this is the same event that Candace attended (#BTMemories: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Trending-Now/Holiday-2017-Preview/m-p/3080939).

I am looking forward to showing you all what's to come this holiday so will be snapping photos and swatching as much as possible at the event. Let me tell you, there are a LOT of new products coming this year! I will do my best to get as much info as I can about each and every product.

I want to make sure that I am ready to hustle to ensure I capture what you want to see and can answer all of your questions. What are you most excited to see this holiday?

Don't forget! Rouge gets to preview holiday product in stores before anyone else. Who is attending their local Rouge Preview??

UPDATE: Swatches and photos are coming in hot! We had so much fun at the event. Here’s a holiday card of the Beauty Directors and me to give you an idea of how cozy and festive the event truly was! @JeffreyBD @MyieshaBD @DavidBD

Below you will find photos, swatches and looks from some of the product shown at the holiday preview event. If you're on a web browser (mobile or desktop) be sure to click on the spoiler tab for more information!

Drybar Glitter Gang

Spoiler

This product wins holiday in my opinion. It's one of the prettiest things I ever have seen! Now I just need it to come into stock already! If you haven't tried Drybar's products this is a great way to jump in. Who doesn't want glittery hair spray and silver glitter hair ties?!

Kevyn Aucoin NudePop Palette

Spoiler

I am in LOVE with this palette! It's a great size, not too big or too small, and the colors are perfect for a holiday party or an everyday look. These swatched like a dream - why don't I buy more Kevyn Aucoin?! I think that's changing once this is in stock... Also look at that packaging! This photo doesn't do the art justice.

Laura Mercier Illuminating Quad (aka the prettiest highlighter palette eva!)

Spoiler

My oh my! The Laura Mercier Illuminating Quad is GORGEOUS! I have a thing for studs, I even made a GIF to attempt to convey the way this palette made me feel. I probably stared at this for 30 seconds appreciating the design.

Smashbox Always On Liquid Lip Set

Spoiler

In case anyone was wondering who ended up attending the Clean Reserve event with me to mediate and learn about clean fragrance it was @MadhuV! You'll hear more about that in a separate thread (disclaimer: I could totally put up with having to go to these brand events on a regular basis).

After the event, I mentioned I had a few of the holiday products in my backpack and was delighted that she was down to swatch with me on the streets of New York 😄 These are swatches of the Smashbox Always On Liquid Lip Set.

MadhuV and I are ready to swatch any time, anywhere

This set is full of different shades so it's a great product to buy if you want to try the formula but also want to get gifts for others. Some for you some for everyone else, win win! Also that second red from the top screams holiday party - we were smitten.

Side note, @MyieshaBD knows everything there is to know about beauty and she is in love with this formula. I haven't taken the plunge on these lippies but I may have to give in now..

@niki172 very true, everyone is always so excited for this event 🙂

I'm excited to hear your thoughts! Look out for the Drybar set, it's my absolute fave ❤️

niki172 · ‎09-14-2018

I saw that - I wish my car was covered in glitter like that. So pretty @KatieBTUnidentifiedcan't imagine what it looks like in person.

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

Up next is the Kevyn Aucoin NudePop Palette and I am in LOVE with this palette! I wish I created a look using this but it's a great size and the colors are great for a holiday party of an everyday look. These swatched like a dream - why don't I buy more Kevyn Aucoin?! I think that's changing once this is on sale... Also look at that packaging! This photo doesn't do the art justice.

OMG! This palette is breathtaking, @KatieBT!

anya33 · ‎09-14-2018

Thank you so much for Sharing! Compared to all the other pallets this looks most unique for the season,I think I’m going to splurge on this and the Natasha Danona Safari Palette❣️I just bought ABH Soft Glam @ the 20% sale & it’s still in the bag, I might return it as I have all her other pallets & I find the texture dry...also, so tired of talc based makeup...give us buttery, spreadable & delicious shades to glide over our lids! If anyone can make a recommendation I’d really appreciate it...I’m in my 40’s & am starting to notice a bit of texture on my inner eyelid area & the great ‘droop’ has begun...gravity is taking effect on my eyelids 😭

greeneyedgirl107 · ‎09-14-2018

@KatieBT I hope this palette comes to my store. I'd love to swatch it to see if it's right for me 🙂

eshoe · ‎09-14-2018

@KatieBT how pigmented are they? I’ve never tried his shadows, wondering if they lean toward sheer or need a light hand when applying. Thank you!!!

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

Everything was pretty pigmented @eshoe! The metallics were like butter, I was swooning over these! The mattes are also pretty pigmented and seem like they would be easy to work with.

If you swatch these at the rouge event tomorrow let me know your thoughts!

eshoe · ‎09-14-2018

Smooth metallics, @KatieBT? If my daughter wasn’t having a sleepover tonight I would be there! Thank you so much for swatching these, based on what you’ve shown so far, I will need at least 1 palette this ❄️ winter!

itsfi · ‎09-14-2018

Look at those swatches!! So pretty! Thank you @KatieBT!

bakeamuffin · ‎09-14-2018

I love these shades @KatieBT! It looks like this palette could be great for creating a variety of looks! ☺️

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

@bakeamuffin yes this palette is so versatile and the shades are lovely! Day/night and glam/neutral... Would be great to travel with since it's a good size as well.

niki172 · ‎09-14-2018

I don't own any KA eyeshadows, but this is really pretty! Thanks Katie :).

veronika23 · ‎09-14-2018

This is very pretty too!!! Thanks @KatieBT!

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

@veronika23 I am in love!! All of the palettes were so pretty, it will be hard to choose 😄

veronika23 · ‎09-14-2018

@KatieBT I'm sure it will! So many pretty things! 😄

Margalee · ‎09-14-2018

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

Oh yes! I will add a section on them 🙂

KatieBT · ‎09-14-2018

You know that I had to borrow the Natasha Denona Gold Palette to swatch and create a look! There are a lot of golden metallics in this palette as well as neutrals. I loved how easy this was to use - if you're into metallics or gold you needs this palette! If you're celebrating NYE you also might need this palette 😄
