Spotted at Rite-Aid: Fun holiday sets!

I rarely get excited about generic holiday sets when I see them at the drugstore. They're usually chock full of boring products and colors and well, they usually look really cheap. But these holiday sets that I spotted at Rite-Aid yesterday made me say, "Hum..." because the packaging is cuter than usual, the colors are actually decent, and the prices are certainly right. Check these out:



Cute glosses with little lollipop, cupcake and purse charms (retail: $4.99 per set of three)





Three bottles of nail polish (shimmery blue, green cream and yellow cream) with mini emery board (retail: $2.99 per set)



This set contains a jar of shimmery white loose pigment, red lip color, a palette of three blue eyeshadows, shimmery light blue nail polish and shimmery clear lip gloss (retail: $4.99 per set)



This one contains two little eyeshadows palettes (plums and browns) and pink cream lipgloss (retail: $4.99 per set)



And this one is a total rip-off of Bath & Body Works Lambies but you know what? These are surprisingly soft! BBW Lambies retail for $8 each, while this set, which comes with a generic pink lambie, a bottle of "Berrylicious" lotion and a bottle of "Berrylicious" body wash, retails for $9.99

So what do you think of these holiday sets? Am I alone in feeling like they're a little more interesting than the usual generic holiday sets you find at the drugstore? I'd love to know your thoughts!

    They're actually quite the same for me. I've seen jillions of holiday sets (because I used to buy tens of them for my friends in high school)and these are pretty generic.

    I like the ones that BBW come out with and they're always really cheap after Thanksgiving. I'm talking $5- $10 for shower gel, body cream, and mist!

    Hey Shela! That's very interesting. Usually the holiday sets I see are mostly big eyeshadow palettes. I never see cute glosses with little charms like these. And the nail polish sets are usually full of boring pinks/reds/berries. I was so surprised to see blue, green and yellow in a holiday set. Where do you usually shop for your holiday sets?

    I agree about the BBW sets. Have you been to the Las Americas BBW outlet? Talk about cheap! I cannot get over the prices at the outlet. It's amazing. :)
