Clinque Even Better Skin Tone Corrector and Josie Maran Argan Oil and Tarte Mini Blush Trio
I am hoping for a L’Occitane perfume and a giftcard to MAC so I can get some Cham Pale goodies!
Some pro pan shadows from MAC, one of the Marcel Wanders lipsticks, I think that’s actually it even though there is of course so much more that I want! I just feel bad asking for all beauty products, I kind of like to buy them myself or with gift card money… Which seems weird even to me! 😛
Coco Mademoiselle! Though I have a feeling I might be treating myself to this one.
And a new brush for applying my msf natural. I don’t know which one is good though… :\
I love MACs 187. Great for soft sweeping motions to apply and blend into the skin and stippling for better coverage.
I like to use the 187 skunk brush, a kabuki or a large powder brush depending on the kind of finish I want! 🙂
Maybe some new make up brushes, UD vegan palette(just for that cute dog that looks just like my white teacup chihuahua), my husband bought me the Urban Decay Book of Shadows 2 when Urban Decay re released it for a short time this morning (that’s the one I can’t wait to open )
How did you know about the re release?
It was in Urban Decay’s e-newsletter
Chanel Contour Eye Brush #12; Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer in Medium; Urban Decay De Slick Mist; and a gift card with a $500 limit so I can shop till the card melts. LOL.
My Holiday beauty wishlist purchases will be happening After Xmas. I have some MAC items I want from their upcoming collections on the 26th and Jan. 6th.
Same here! I was smart enough to ask for only gift cards this year so that I can indulge in the next MAC collections:
– Stylishly Yours (mostly)
– Cham-Pale (a few items only)
– False Lashes mascara
– Peacocky
– Lady Gaga Viva Glam
Chanel Spring collection – I already put a lot of items on hold 🙂 it’ll be my xmas gift to myself! Although, I hinted to my BF a couple items I wanted…
Omorovicza – Thermal Cleansing Balm
Natura Bisse – Glyco Peel or Oxygen Mask
Le Metier de Beaute – JoJo eyeshadow
Lip scrub that works!
Anything from Etude House
Creamery Creek Soap
I want some more Mufe rouge artist lipsticks, Nars lipsticks, a Mac shadow palette and another Soba shadow pan since I just broke my old one :(.
Does sleep count?
No point hoping for beauty goodies, as nobody will buy me any. My parents think you don’t need more than a couple of lippies.
oooo these are always fun. I have quite a lot unfortunately….I’ve been eyeing MAC’s Cham-pale collection; but I’d have to see things in person (or on your blog of course!) in order to know what I really want. Some things I want for sure include: benefit that gal, chanel petite peche glossimer, l’occitane hand lotion, moroccan oil, guerlain meteorites in rose, chanel inimitable mascara in black and I think that is it. LOL.
benefit girl meets pearl, some hair products from kevin murphy and tigi, a new perfume, anything i can get in australia that i cant get here
Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector, Illamasqua Alluvium, Illamasqua Halcyon and Clarisonic Mia.
tarte jewelry box… hope santa delivers..je je 😉
I have wished for a parfum by Dolce & Gabbana, “The One”. It’s expensive and my family is into smaller gifts so I may treat myself.
Dior J’adore set (parfume + lotion + shower gel)
Guerlain Parure Gold or Parure Extreme, and for me to finally complete my MAC makeup brush collection!
I asked for Sigma’s Complete Pink Kit with Brush Roll for Christmas. I don’t have any other items on my list because it’s a tough Christmas for my family this year.
Any products from MAC or Makeup Forever will make my day!
Lots of MAC brushes! I have asked everyone for them 🙂 cant wait to do my make up on christmas day with them if i get them!
Chanel Chance Perfume
ysl rouge voulpte lipsticks, jack black lip balms, mufe duo mat, diamancel nail file, illamsqua lipstick, mufe lipstick

Some Mac brushes & Flowerbomb perfume
I want a giftcard to MAC so I can use it for Peacocky collection! Other than that I want NARS Bouganville gloss, Makeup 4 ever HD Foundation, smashbox oil free primer, and a few OPI nail polishes.
Honestly, I’m not really lusting after anything specific at the moment…I’d love a custom MAC palette–I had one all made up the other day when I remembered I was not there for myself. >.<
100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream – It has great reviews on make up alley… its inexpensive but its on my wish list 🙂
Sonia Kashuk “Reach for the Stars” nail trio (all 3 are amazing), and the NARS Rajasthan eye shadow duo.
A Clarisonic! And a NARS multiple in Copacabana.
pssst… Clarisonic’s running a giveaway on their facebook and twitter page (@clarisonic or #ClarisonicElf) they choose winnerSSS per week until Christmas. You might want to try your luck. The Clarisonic elf might give you one this year. One for you and one to share. 🙂 just thought i’d share the news for all those dreaming of a CLARISONIC. ;}
some new paint pots and a cheek highlighter from MAC’s ChamPale collection =)
Nothng really…they are on their way to me for Christmas 😉
Now the Spring goodies.. well they don’t count 😉
NARS Yachiyo brush. 🙂
i am actually asking for monies or gift certificates to the bay or mac or sephora….because there are several collections coming out post-christmas that i would really like to have some pieces of, like mac’s cham-pale collection, mac’s peacocky collection (hello peacocky gloss!), and the chanel spring collection (so lusting after the five shadow palette). its kind of a lame thing to ask for, but people are usually happy to oblige because they are uncertain as to what/where to buy cosmetics for me (even if i did right a list and location). 🙂
A Dinair airbrush system ;p
Narciso Rodriguez EDP. Already wrapped up under the tree. 😉
Some Chanel, Mac eyeshadows. Le Metier de Beaute kaleidoscope. Body and face wash. A good one or two eye shadow brushes.
I’m getting for Christmas : NARS lovejoy blush, Urban Decay NAKED palette, the ELF studio brush set.
For january and february, I’m getting some products of the Mickey Contractor collection : Mocha lipstick, perhaps Saffron eyeshadow, the coral/yellow corrector!
I just want gift cards for the mac Cham Pale collection. After that I will embark on a no-make-up-buy for at least three months so I can actually start to use everything I have…
OCC lip tars, MAC Innocence Beware lipstick (hopefully still available on Ebay), Stila travel in style palette (Tokyo), Urban Decays 15th anniversary 24/7 liner set, Urban Decay I love New York palette, Clinique Happy Heart perfume, some MAC giftcards for the upcoming after xmas collections. Thats just a wishlist though, that doesnt mean I will be getting everything on my list.
Book of Shadows 2 was re released yesterday?!?! How did I not know about this???
All I want is a Clarasonic and MAC gift cards for Peacocky, Cham Pale, and Mickey Contractor!
want the champale quad coming out the 26th by Mac; ordered another Mac Sweetie lipstick because I am paranoid they will discontinue it even though I know it is permanent. A wish would be also for Spa Ritual polish “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and Acorelle Rose Cologne Spray.
