Sephora Wishlist ft. NARS, Bobbi Brown, YSL & Dior

sephora wishlist


My makeup wishlist is a never ending page of new lip products and amazing releases that I see in Sephora. No kidding, I walk into the store and I leave, with nothing in hand, but lots of things in mind ;) So, here are some things I'm dying to get my hands on! 

Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Rosy Tan:
I've really been getting interested in Dior makeup products and I definitely want to dip my toes into their luxury brand waters. My Sephora wish list could probably consist of every product they offer (the bb cream is an honourable mention!) but these eyeshadow palettes are seriously gorgeous! Rosy Tan is probably one I would wear most often but some of their other ones, like Incognito and Styish Move, would be incredible. Plus, can we just take a moment and appreciate the fact that their packaging is worth every penny *swoon*

YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush Lips & Cheeks:
It's no surprise that I love a good multitasking product and this new release by YSL is just calling my name. There are so many fun and fresh colours for Summer and I think these would be great to keep in your purse for touch ups when your makeup has started to come off and you need a midday pick-me-up. Rose Frivole looks like a shade I'd definitely choose. Have you tried these yet?

Bobbi Brown Raw Sugar Palette:
I knew I wanted this when I saw the release pictures online but in person, oh man, I was seriously tempted. It is be-au-ti-ful, no joke. Sure it's shimmery but for summer, isn't that what you want? I know my eyeballs will be glistening and sparkling with this beauty, and I am more than okay with that! Sephora doesn't seem to have it in stock just yet since this is part of the Summer 2014 collection but you should be able to get your hands on it at a Bobbi Brown counter in the meantime. 

Elizabeth & James Nirvana White Perfume: 
In all honesty, the packaging was the first thing that got me. I saw the white and black bottles together and the gold accents and nearly had a mini heart attack. Sleek and pretty - but then I got a whiff and I was in love! Nirvana white is definitely more my style with floral and musky notes, while Nirvana Black was a bit strong for my liking. I think this may be my next scent of choice once my beloved Vera Wang Princess comes to an end (I will always love that perfume!)

NARS Lipgloss:
Reformulated, no nasty smell like before, and gorgeous shades that have gushing! Getting to finally swatch them made me so happy and I already know the shades Tasmania and Salamanca are on my radar. Tasmania looks amazing over another wishlist lip product, NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Lodhi, and Salamanca will be a perfect pop of colour for days when the rest of my makeup is pretty bare. I thought I'd like these once I saw the release pictures, and I was certainly right. 

Sephora Formula X Polishes:
I never paid attention these polishes when they were first launched but I went in and had a look around last week and now there's a spark. The range is incredibly varied, with cream finish polishes and all sorts of different effect polishes that would be amazing to experiment with. (I tried on the Transformers Top Coat in Reactive over Essie Find Me An Oasis and it was gawjus!) If you want to venture out from the typical polish offering, these are the best place to start - just look at these! 

Caudalie Beauty Elixir:
This isn't a new product or something I'd never seen before but it has seriously been on my list for a solid year now! I would always hear about the Evian Facial Spray people used and honestly, I thought it was a waste of time if you wanted something to have any benefit on your skin, but this Caudalie offering is a dream! It's refreshing, smells divine and it's multipurpose (toner, serum and has amazing natural oils that are great for your skin!) I think I'll need to finally cave and grab the mini bottle they have on the way to the cash register (can we all agree that this is the walk of death for our wallets - so many cute mini things! Ahhh!)

Dior Lip Glow:
After seeing both EssieButton and ViviannaDoesMakeup raving about this, it deserves a spot on this list. I love a good lip balm but if it promises to moisturize my lips AND give me a customized subtle pink tint perfect for my face, then I'm sold. It's almost like a mood ring, and I think we can concur that those were pretty cool back in the day. And of course, like I stated previously, the packaging!!!! I can't get enough of looking at Dior's products! 

There ya have it folks, a peek into what I'm currently craving from Sephora. There are so many other things but if we're being honest, I would probably just say "one of everything, please?"

Spring Into Beauty With Spring 2014 Makeup Collections

The bow on this blush?! Seriously! *drool*
I know, it's only the end of January and there is currently more inches of snow outside than I would like but Spring is almost here (-ish). As a commuter, I spend an hour or so of my week browsing around the mall before class just to destress and to keep an eye out for new releases. Thankfully, the other day I caught a glimpse of some of the newest Spring 2014 makeup collections and let me tell ya, love! There's nothing better than spring makeup in my humble opinion because it's all about pastels, sheer textures and a barely there look - all of which make me pretty excited. I think I've made it pretty clear already that I have a love for all things French related so it's no surprise that my favourite collections are from French brands! The ads are perfection and the colour range is exquisite. Although a lot of the runway inspiration for spring trends can be a little out there (I will not be wearing a thick layer of bright blue eyeshadow any time soon!), there's always a way to bring those trends into your daily routine without looking like a complete psycho. That's why spring collections are so great, you get to play around with products that are inspired by trends but in a more everyday, wearable way. Come on Spring, I'm waiting for you!

Dior Trianon 2014 Spring Collection:
This collection is filled with gorgeous pastel shades and an amazing attention to detail with the girly and flirty packaging. Bows are great but on makeup?! That's a whole notha level of gloriousness!

Perle looks so pretty! But so do the rest (confessions of a nail polish lover) (source)
Lancome French Ballerine Spring 2014 Collection:
It's no surprise the Lancome collection for this season would be beautiful but it honestly looks better than I imagined. I love the theme they chose, especially since Lily Collins looks amazing in these soft hues. Count me in for a little bit of Lancome loving this Spring! 

Ahhh Lily Collins and those bold brows are perfect for this campaign! (source)

NARS New Edge of Pink Final Cut Collection: 
I tried to find this collection on the NARS site but I'm not sure why it wasn't listed. In any case, I've seen pictures of these new colours and they are gorgeous! I've been tempted by their lip pencils so the fact that they have spring shades now excites me quite a bit!

Are you hearing your name being called when you look at any of these collections? (Say yes just so I don't feel alone ok?). Any other releases making your heart flutter? If so, let me know so I can take a peak! Have a great start to your week and hold onto Christ because I know He'll bless you in amazing ways. Thanks for stopping by!
