Temptalia

Tom Ford Soleil Lip Color ($53.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a new, limited edition metallic lipstick available in six shades. If you love your Tom Ford lipstick and shimmery, lightly metallized finishes, I think you’ll quite enjoy the new Soleil Lip Foils. My top two picks are Aperture and Seadragon!

Guerlain Rouge Saphir Rouge G

Guerlain Rouge Saphir Rouge G ($56.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink-red with cooler undertones and a natural finish. It’s a specially packaged Rouge G with a blue “jewel” as the clasp, while the rest of the packaging is the same signature Rouge G component. The formula is supposed to be hydrating and pigmented, which it is. The Rouge G formula has been a long-time favorite for me, and I wasn’t disappointed with the performance of this year’s holiday shade at all.

Guerlain Perles du Legende Meteorites

Guerlain Perles du Legende Meteorites ($65.00 for 0.80oz.) is a translucent, gold-sparkled finishing powder. It is dominated by a lot of smaller gold pearls with a few larger pink and minty green pearls, and when I swatched and used it, it was mostly a translucent, yellowish powder with gold micro-sparkle. I think those who enjoy using this product and aren’t as concerned about a noticeable effect will be happy with their purchase.

Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham Eye Palette

Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham Eye Palette ($95.00 for 0.25 oz.) contains six, shimmery eyeshadows that feature a wet/dry powder formula. I think if you like more pigmented eyeshadows that are blendable and wear well, you will enjoy this palette. The formula was soft, smooth, and finely-milled and felt almost velvety to the touch, as it didn’t kick up powder but wasn’t really dense or cream-like either.

Laura Mercier Layer Up Set

Laura Mercier Layer Up Set ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) includes four miniature sized Caviar Sticks, which are cream eyeshadows in twist-up, jumbo pencil form. The brand’s holiday set is a great way to try several shades without having to purchase them individually. These are ideal for someone who uses a cream base or likes one or two-shade looks.

Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder

Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder ($46.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a new, limited edition highlighting powder with “high-impact, buildable radiance.” The texture was very soft and smooth, while it had a firmer feel to it overall, so it seems like a product that would take awhile to get through, but the firmness didn’t make it hard to apply or get color payoff out of the powder. It had medium, buildable coverage, which is in line with the brand’s description of the formula. It’s available in three, limited edition shades.

They’re miniature-sized Lipsticks in a range of shimmers, creams, and mattes. Some of my favorites from the new shades are: Ashton, Mitchell, Snowdon, Ryan, and Elliot.

simplehuman Sensor Mirror Pro

simplehuman Sensor Mirror Pro ($250.00) is the latest and greatest in the brand’s mirror family. I’m so, so pleased with what they’ve done to improve in the latest model, because I feel like they addressed the major issue I had with the original as well as a disappointment in a lack of features–and for the price point, I wanted to love it through and through. It’s a large, 5x magnifying mirror that comes with a smaller, magnetic 10x mirror with a ring of light along the outer edge of the larger, 5x magnifying mirror. It’s available in stainless steel as well as a new, rose gold hue (which I’d say is not quite as coppery or as warm-toned as most rose gold jewelry).

Jack Black Balm Squad

Jack Black Balm Squad ($25.00) contains four different scented Lip Balms. This has been a long-time favorite formula for me–I have gone through dozens of tubes since I tried it! I always pick up their holiday set to help replenish my stock!
