Holiday Beauty Gift Guide





Happy Sunday, everyone! I honestly cannot believe that it is already December. This year has truly flown by and I've been ready for the holidays since... the beginning of November, actually! Now, though, it's socially acceptable to be excited, so my Christmas excitement is now just bursting beyond belief! As I'm sure everyone is now shopping for presents, I wanted to create a little bit of a gift guide for everyone to share! These are some personal beauty favorites of mine that are on my Christmas list and maybe they could be on yours as well!

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted Perfume: The follow up to Taylor Swift's incredible Wonderstruck perfume, Wonderstruck Enchanted was just recently released and smells absolutely amazing. The bottle comes in the same great shape with charms draped around the top and is red, perhaps in honor of her new album. 

NAKED Basics Palette: As a follow up to the infamous NAKED and NAKED2 palettes, Urban Decay has just released the new Naked Basics palette! This palette features 6 completely matte eyeshadows, whether you want a light day eye or nighttime smokey look. This palette is also very small! In pictures, I've seen it compared to the size of an iPhone, yet it has 6 full eyeshadows! I'm dying to get my hands on this for the winter!

Ciate Sequin Manicure Set: Ciate has truly been the "it" brand for nail polish trends this year, in my opinion. Beginning with the caviar manicure back in the spring, they have come out with some great manicure kits. (I actually did a post on the caviar nails here) The latest in their trends is the sequined manicure kit, which looks amazing. Your nails literally sparkle and shine!

Chanel Lipstick in La Caline: This lipstick is part of the Chanel Winter collection and I went out to swatch it today. Ah, it was amazing! I don't like a lot of color on my lips, so I tend to always go for more nudes and pinks, but I've been obsessed with the oxblood trend this year. Chanel came out with a very dark, deep oxblood lipstick, but I'd never be able to brave that and this color is just as gorgeous and following the berry trend, just a lot more muted. 

NARS Kiss Mini Larger Than Life Lip Gloss Coffret: Available at Sephora as a part of the NARS/Andy Warhol collection, this mini lip gloss kit comes with 5 different glosses. Not only do the lip glosses look amazing, but the tin it comes in is absolutely amazing and definitely reusable. 

What is on your wishlist this year?! I'd love to know!

A Wishlist

Hey, everyone! Today I spent some time on Nordstrom making a wishlist of a few fall items coming to stores and thought I would share. Now, I love the fall and back to school shopping - just not in love with going back to school. I'm not dwelling on that right now, though, and trying to soak up the rest of the weather! Anyways, onto the list...

1. Smashbox 'Limitless' Dual Ended Lip Stain and Color Seal Bond. I've yet to try a lip stain, because all I've found is drugstore brands, and haven't found a color I love. However, the colors that are pictured seem nice, so I'm eager to try!

2. Marc Jacobs 'Oh, Lola!' Perfume. Just look at the packaging. Just look. That alone had me sold, and then when a magazine came in the mail the other day, it had a swatch of this perfume and it smelled just amazing! This is definitely at the top of my list to buy!

3. Burberry 'Lip Mist' Natural Sheer Color. No 03, Brown Sugar, looks gorgeous, and perfect for me! I've yet to own any Burberry make up, so I'm thinking this should be the first!

4. Dior Vernis 'Fall 2011' Nail Lacquer. Once again, I've never tried any Dior nail polish, but just look at this color! It reminds me more of a summer color, but I love to wear pink on my nails anytime as I'm so pale, red clashes with my skin tone!

5. Laura Mercier Corner Faux Eyelashes. These look amazing! Of course, as most people, I love the look of big and built-up lashes, and having lashes just on the side seems to give a more natural look without being as annoying to apply as single lashes are!

What are your must-haves for the fall? Let me know, I love getting new ideas!
