Not sure if anyone said this before but I just noticed that the COOL collection of the Estee Lauder Holiday Blockbuster is back in stock at the Estee Lauder website.
Thank you! I just added it to the list!
Thank you! I am so excited I found this site! I was looking forward to the Estee Lauder Holiday bonus and was able to purchase it online from Von Maur – a store I have never heard of here in Florida 😊 – I even received 2 additional GWP! Thank you for all your hard work, research and constant updates to the website!! Happy Holidays!! 😀😀
Thank you and happy holidays to you! I’m so happy to hear you like the site! 🙂
Received my Estée Lauder 2018 Block Buster in the mail today. I love everything! My 13 year old stole the mascara and case, she tried to take the gloss to. I plan on giving the older one who is away at college the blue eyeshadows to match her cornflower blue eyes. I think the case is better than last year. I think everything is better than 2017.
I’m so glad it arrived and I’m so happy you love everything! They do such a great job on these sets and they do get better every year; it’s not wonder they consistently sell out!
I went to Macy’s yesterday – Estee Lauder blockbuster looks gorgeous in real life. But I have already got a Clinique one from Nordstrom ( they still have a GWP) – so I just received a TON of cosmetics for under $100. Not bad 🙂
Btw, I love your site, and I check the Big 3 page weekly.
Not bad at all! All of the blockbusters are so beautiful this year, it is so hard to choose! I’m glad you got the one you love!
Also thank you so much, I’m so very happy to hear you like the site! 🙂
HI Anna, than you for mentioning Macy’s! I thought I had missed out on the EL Blockbuster this year since it’s sold out online and in my local Saks and Bloomingdale’s, but I stopped by Macy’s this morning and they had plenty of stock in both the Warm and the Cool palettes. Plus, through today they are offering 15% off your Beauty purchase. If you are still looking to purchase the blockbuster then Macy’s might be a good bet! Happy Shopping!
I’m so glad you were able to find one locally! Hooray!
Just FYI the PWP for Lancôme at Macy’s is sold out in both the glam and glow
Thank you! I just checked this morning and Cool seems to be back in stock (for now) so I will update the page that warm has sold out (which seems to be the case at many stores!).
Very disappointed. Mascara isn’t the same formula, eye shadows are bad quality. Very overpriced. Only thing good about it is Genifique and the case.
Is this the gwp that is suppose to start in lord & Taylor?

It certainly sounds like it! But it is still not live on the site, I’m guessing it will go live tomorrow?
Has anyone else had problems with Stage Stores when ordering? Their site is very buggy and placing an order was cumbersome. I managed to score the EL GWP and the EL Blockbuster from Stage on Wednesday night, and now I hear nothing from them on shipping. Their site only shows my order half the time, the other time it just gives me a blank screen. I called them today and they say it will take 5 days to ship it?? This just doesn’t seem like a reputable store to me. Etchy at best. I also scored the EL GWP and the EL Blockbuster from Bloomingdales the same night, and my order with them has already shipped. Wish I just bought both via Bloomingdales, because something is up with Stage. I was wondering what your guys experience with Stage has been? Thanks.
I have ordered from Stage Stores before and while they are not the most up to date or modern, or the fastest to ship, in my opinion they are not sketchy. I have ordered a few times and have never had a problem, just they are a bit slower than other sites and I do wish they would upgrade their website. I hope they do ship your order to you with no problems! Has anyone else had any issues with them?
I’ve only ordered from Stage once and it was fine, but I understand your concern,. The only time I ordered from Macy’s, the site acted strange and the next morning I was awakened by my credit card’s security people wanting to go over my purchases with me. They said a theft of my card number became evident immediately after that purchase, and my card had been used all over San Francisco and once in the Netherlands. (I live in Arkansas!) It was all settled quickly with no harm to me, but I’ve never ordered from them again. This time I ordered from Belk and all was fine. I got two free items with my purchase, plus the blockbuster and it has all shipped.
I ordered the Estee Lauder bonus first thing yesterday morning and just received an email that everything in my order was canceled except one lipstick 🙁
Oh no! This was from Stage Stores?? I’m so sorry!
I just removed the Stage Stores bonus from this page so hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else 🙁
Yes!
Oh I’m so sorry they did that! This is the first I’ve heard about issues with Stage I hope it doesn’t continue!
Stage was formerly the chain known as Beall Ladymon. My late MIL was their top salesperson and worked in the store near here for years. It is, or at least was, a perfectly respectable business, although she did not see the change to the Stage name and image as positive.
Oh my goodness I’m sorry that happened to you but thank goodness your credit card company was on top of things!
I’m also very glad you were able to get your blockbuster, I’m guessing it will sell out soon!
I’m a night owl and happened to still be online just after midnight on the 1st, LOL.
Haha score!!
3 days later, no email from Stage confirming shipment. But the did charge my credit card…. I called and they cant confirm when the order will ship out.
Well I’m thinking if they charged you for the blockbuster, it will ship. They are a reputable, if slow, company. Hopefully you will get a tracking number on Monday?
Stage canceled both of my orders today, and I placed them within 2 minutes of the EL Blockbuster going live. I doubt they ever had it. They did charge me for both orders though, and now I have to dispute with my credit card company. Very Lame. I will never use Stage again.
Oh noooooo I’m so sorry 🙁
How aggravating!
Just checked and both Warm and Cool options for the Estee Lauder Holiday Blockbuster are still available at Belk stores online. I THINK Lord and Taylor only had it for in store purchase only. Not sure about the other stores like Saks, will check when I have more time.
Thank you! I just checked them all and updated this page with the current list. It’s at several stores!
Well as expected Estee Lauder Holiday Blockbuster is out today on their website and one option has already been sold out!
Get yours while you still can. It’s available online on the US site. Chat said that they are expecting to get more of the sold out one, but she was not sure when.
Thanks for your blog – love it. Did you notice Lord & Taylor is selling the 2018 Best of Clinique Set online for $100? I’ve decided I will never shop there again!
Thank you very much, I’m so glad you like the site!
Lord & Taylor is not selling it for $100, they just have weird shopping cart limitations. If you add the blockbuster plus $29.50 worth of Clinique product to your cart, the price does drop to $49.50 in the cart. Confusing, but it eventually works. I’m sorry for any confusion!
Do you know if, historically, you could purchase the GWP directly from Estee Lauder?
Do you mean the holiday blockbuster? Yes they always sell the holiday blockbuster on their website. But it generally sells out VERY quickly.
Yes, I meant the blockbuster. Thanks for answering so quickly!
You’re welcome! I know a lot of people are eagerly waiting for the blockbuster to go live on November 1!
