Is it just me, or has this year gone by ridiculously fast? It feels like just last week that we were gearing up for the summer season’s onslaught of new launches (by which I mean: foundations, foundations, foundations), and now Holiday collections are starting to tumble in.

Clearly, the makeup world never got the memo that you totally can’t sell Christmas ornaments before Halloween, the free market be damned.

With sets and palettes from Bobbi Brown, Yves Saint Laurent, Laura Mercier, & more, though — the holidays do look like they’re going to be rather exciting this year.

Stay tuned for the Dior and Guerlain Holiday 2012 collections! I haven’t had time to put them together, but god, they look gorgeous.

P.S. What even, Tom Ford:

I get that you’re a “luxury” beauty line. I really do. But — $365 for an (albeit shiny and soft-looking) brush set? Really?
