This week Bailey has her nails painted with CHANEL Trapèze nail polish. (I love how you can see the twinkling lights from our Christmas tree in the background here!)
Trapèze is a beautiful shade of silvery champagne and is part of the CHANEL Holiday 2009 Collection.
What’s on your nails this week?
Every girl needs a bit of CHANEL in her life, so why not go with 5x the fun?

CHANEL Fragrance Wardrobe 2009 Gift Set is available from Neiman Marcus for $110.
Day four of our 7 Days of Holiday Looks was an easy, peachy look for me. I pulled my hair into a low ponytail and added a little “enhancement” à la Jessica Simpson.
I like this hair piece better than the other piece I tried as it was much easier to attach and looked very realistic (in my opinion).
I went for a mostly peachy look on my face with a little bronzer and brown eyeshadow.
I am obsessed with this Radiance Mousse from St. Tropez. It’s so light and easy to apply. Just dab the tiniest amount on cheekbones, forehead, eyelids—anywhere you want to glow— and gently rub in with your fingertips.
This blush is an old standby that’s been in my makeup bag for 10 years because IT WORKS. I also love Super Orgasm which is the disco version of the original Orgasm, but since I’m already bronzed up here and glowing beyond recognition, I skipped it. You’re welcome.
CHANEL Aqualumière Gloss in Canari
Aqualumière Gloss by CHANEL is just so good and this peachy-coral color called Canari is perfect for my holiday look. This is very sheer and easy to apply so you don’t have to worry about a precise application. Also, it’s not sticky at all so your hair is safe if the wind blows!
On my eyes I used some bronzy brown eye shadow shades and tons of Lancôme Hypnose Drama mascara.
Bree’s Look: So here’s the thing. I know Bree did a Day 4 Holiday Look because we’ve been doing them every day together, but I can not find any photographic evidence of any such look. I have a sneaking suspicion she deleted them (she wasn’t liking her look) but I can’t be sure. So much for Bree’s day 4 look 
Bailey’s Look:
Bailey’s gorgeous hair is starting to get on my nerves. I mean, how many good hair days is this girl going to have in one week. Sheesh. (Also, while her shirt looks eerily similar to the shirt she wore in Day 3, Bailey asked me to mention that it is not, in fact, the same shirt.) (As if, right?)
Bailey has kind of surprised me with her efforts in this holiday feature. She’s been waking up an hour early each morning to prepare her holiday looks before school. That’s total dedication, right friends?
Sadly, this great little smoky eye kit is sold out on the Pixi website, but keep checking back for availability because it’s a great kit for any girl looking for some vavvooom in her holiday look.
L’Oreal HIP Jelly Balm in Plush
This pot gloss looks bright in the container but it’s really just a pale pink. I think Bailey likes the way it tastes just as must as she likes how it looks! Yum.
I continue to be amazed at the color payoff and versatility of NYX Cosmetics. This powder blush in Natural is a pale pink with no shimmer—so pretty! (And the price is pretty, too.)
Rimmel Glam’Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara
This new Glam’Eyes mascara from Rimmel is really black and inky and thickens lashes without clumping them. Bailey is really picky with her mascaras but she’s worn this for three days in a row now. In my book this means she’s giving this a thumbs up.
To add to our list of favorite holiday fragrances, we each selected another scent we can’t get enough of this season:
Erika’s Pick: Nuit de Noel by Caron ($85)
I have the teeniest, tiniest little sample of this fragrance that I love to bust out during the holidays. Everything about this classic 1920′s fragrance screams Christmas and I just can’t get enough of it this time of year.
Bree’s Pick: YSL Parisienne ($39-85)
When you live in a house with teenage girls, nothing is sacred. Not your closet, not your jewelry, not even your perfume. Needless to say, my favorite YSL scent has quickly become Bree’s favorite YSL scent. With notes of rose and violet, I must say this fragrance smells almost as good on her as it does me.
Sensous by Estée Lauder is a family love affair here at Makeup Bag. The woody amber fragrance first won the heart of 6-year-old Janey last year and then made its rounds to the rest of us, including Bailey who is naming this as one of her faves.
And just because you are my most favorite readers of all, I’m gracing you with this here picture of Janey and her holiday look.
She took this with the Photobooth feature on my computer and even filmed a video, but there wasn’t any sound. So sad because she expertly demonstrated how to apply the L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara. I’ll see if I can get her to do it again this week.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday last week. Just think, only 25 days until Christmas!
Last weekend my friend Julia came to visit from Washington, D.C.
We had a fun, girls-only weekend of shopping, nail painting, baking and wine drinking. Julia even brought her Anthropologie holiday ring along so we could stage a little photo shoot with matching rings!
This week I have my nails painted Zoya Ciara while Julia opted for CHANEL Rouge Noir, one of the many polish changes she made throughout the weekend (she wasn’t going to let the Valente girls show her up!)
I have an adorable video of Janey and Julia baking brownies that I’ll be uploading later today.
What’s on YOUR nails this week?
