Just checking around...

to see if I could get a sneak peak of the holiday palette from Sephora this year and I came across this:

A color diary of 5 palettes in one.  It also comes with a portable case so you can take a look to go!  All color coordinated with blush and lip gloss.  And the lipglosses are in tubes!  Not in the embedded in the palette so they don't get all dried out and gross mixed with the eyeshadows.  Love it!  All for $34?  What?  I'm super intrigued.  This is when I get really irritated that I do not have a Sephora any where near me!  AHH!!!  I've never tried Sephora eye shadows so I am not sure of the quality but for $34, this is a great way to test it out and not be completely bummed if they don't work out.  Plus Sephora offers free returns... 

Is this a need or a want?  It's very difficult to travel with my mineral eyeshadows...
