So the holiday collections are beginning to trickle in which invited a little look-see, a bit of a spree, and a few weeks of agonizing wait...
First Chanel, I was totally convinced that I had to have the duo of Noir-Ivoire until I saw it in person and was like "ahhh not so much after all". I thought it was just pretty standard and nothing to write home about. However, I am absolutely smitten with Beige Lame at first glance I was like neutral, nice, whatever but then I saw how truly lovely it is with all the beautiful sparkles. The lovely M. put it on my crease with Lotus on the lid and it truly is just as lovely as can be. I tried to resist buying Lotus as I thought it looked so much like Liberty but M. insisted and as she likes to remind me she would never be adamant about a color that she thought I was just duping or if I have something that is close enough. The holiday lips were just a whole lot of snooze (gold glossimer I am looking at you) even though I did fall under the lure of Dragon. I love the way it looks but the formula is just all kinds of icky.
Off to MAC to see what might possibly satisfy my Dragon lust and the lovely S. suggested Prolong and I am quite pleased. She also convinced me to add some paint pots to my Glitter & Ice pre-sell bag. I really can't wait to bring that awesome bag of goodies home.
Finally Dior, I was thrilled beyond words to see C. at Macy's today where I was just going to pick up the holiday Or Etoile lipstick. I am so excited for a truly gold lipstick and it will be just amazing over any lip color. Of course she made me sit down to play and like some kind of mind reader she picked Smoky Nude for my eyes, the one other trio I had been lusting for. I love it as a basic eye especially when wearing a super strong lip. Last weekend I got Nocturne lipstick from Dior holiday and I just think it is a glorious golden reddish pink. I am so longing for the holiday gold quint and gold highlighter but according to C. no one has them anywhere. It is a mystery and makes me even more curious.
Is it to early to start dreaming of the spring collections?
