I want you, NARS I Want You Lipgloss set!

Generally, when I purchase a packaged set of cosmetics, I resign myself to knowing at least a few shades will be duds.

So not the case here, ladies! Every single one of these magnificent minis has a permanent place in my makeup bag – each shade is universally flattering, relatively neutral and oh-so-gorgeous. NARS doesn’t disappoint with this set of glossy minis in all my favorite colors!

Each set contains one each of Striptease, Greek Holiday, Turkish Delight, Orgasm and Dolce Vita.

NARS I Want You Lip Gloss Set is available from Sephora for $45.

The dark, somewhat dreary fall days often leave me exhausted yet ironically keyed up.

Sometimes, I need to seek solace in beauty products to calm my nerves and slow myself down after a hectic day. This Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus Bathing Elixir sounds as though it would be a divine way to help myself drift off into dreamland.

Its moisture-rich formula contains Cedrus tree oil from the Atlas Mountains to aid in relaxation, sweet Florida orange oil and Bulgarian lavender oil. (I’m hoping I’ll love the scent as much as I love their Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil.)

SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir is part of the new Molton Brown’s new sleep body therapies range and is available online from MoltonBrown.com for $34.

I’m super intrigued by this new primer from Dior – its packaging boasts a brush applicator, something not typically seen in the packaging of its competitors.

The formula utilizes photo-smart pigments with photochromic properties to create a light, beautifully lit-from-within complexion. The pigments are adaptable (code: the formula is sheer) and the formula contains radiance-boosting skincare goodies. The product is billed as a primer, but I’d be willing to bet that it would double well as a tinted moisturizer.

Dior Skinflash Primer – Radiance Boosting Makeup Primer is available from Sephora for $40.

I didn’t think I could love Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb any more than I do, UNTIL I saw it all dolled up in its holiday getup!

Are you kidding me? Pink sparkles and bold black satin dress up one of my all-time favorite fragrances, making it more irresistible than ever. Silly as it may be, this marketing ploy is TOTALLY working on me – I NEED to have this on my vanity because it’s just so darn pretty!

Viktor & Rolf “Flowerbomb – Pink Sparkle” Eau de Parfum is available from Nordstrom for $105.
