With the Sephora holiday sale right around the corner (and countless other Friends & Family sales to come, if last year’s November was any indicator!), I thought I’d put together some recommendations if you’re looking for something new to try. This list features products at $35 or higher in price point that are permanently available, and generally, these are very strong formulas that come in more than the shade you’ll see in this list, so don’t forget to check out the full shade ranges!

Guerlain Air Kiss looks like a lovely winter shade!
It is! 😀
Such tempting picks! I’d have to say Bobbi Brown Pink Glow. What a great highlighter for a metallic finish. You only need one or two swipes.
Agreed! It is such a pretty hue.
I actually wanted a list but was hesitating to demand …
wohooooooo already own 6 out of 10
will see if I need rest of the 4 ..
still not sure about Bobbi brown shimmer brick 🙂
becca opal is pressed n not poured right ??
I like the pressed, poured, and liquid, but I picked Poured for here! 🙂
Soft Berry and Corail Decollete look suh-hooooo pretty <3
Agreed!
Ooh! What a pretty list. I have the KA candlelight but not the starlight. Since it is peachier, could it work as a blush on a very fair girl?
Yes!! Starlight works as a highlighting blush on me 😀
I love your choices!
Thanks, Erin!
Annnd, Guerlain Air Kiss will be mine with the Sephora 20% VIB sale!
But, I really ought to have waited till then to get my Anastasia Self-Made Palette and those two other items I bought yesterday! I had completely forgotten about the sale…
At least the Anastasia palette wasn’t too much $!
That’s my one truly comforting thought: at least it wasn’t a $55-60 UD or MUFE palette this time around!
I want Bobbi Brown Soft Berry but I guess everyone else does too because it’s out of stock everywhere. It’s annoying that Sephora and Bobbi Brown counters only carry a selection of the Luxe Lip colors in store. I really wanted to see it in person.
I’m surprised even the BB counter only has an edited range!
Love the Guerlain Garcome – such a beautiful, universal red lipstick. And the Armani tint in grey.
Thank you for the holiday list Christine.
My pleasure, Genevieve!
Thanks Christine! The Hourglass looks gorgeous!
NO problem, Trudi!!
Oh, goodies! Even if I don’t comment on all the lists of products for splurging, lips and so on, I really appriciate them.
It seems the closer we get to Christmas, the faster time runs. Or is it just for me? 🙂
Haha! Except for the week before Christmas where time sometimes feels like it comes to a stop ;D
If I had to start all over and keep my red lipstick collection to a minimum, Guerlain Garconne would be one of the top shades in my collection. 🙂
Garconne!! Such a good shade.
The Shimmer Bricks always tempt me, but I haven’t given in yet. Guerlain Air Kiss looks like such a beautiful shade.
Air Kiss is one of those that I always seem to be favoring!
KA Candelight is in my wishlist for sure.
Yay!
I love the Hourglass Diffused Heat! ?
Yay!
