All I want for Christmas...

Well, it's that time of year again. A super binge of compulsive overspending to show people our love -followed by a massive debt hangover in January. Sorry, my inner cynic just leaked out, but in keeping with all things Christmas I have decided to put together a list of things I want in my stocking. I will probably be getting none of these things this year since I am my own Santa, and these fall under the category of extravagances right now, but these are all things I really want from the world of beauty. Maybe next year...

1. Le Mer Creme de Le Mer. $135 for 1 ounce at Neiman Marcus. I have wanted this iconic cream for a long time - ever since I read about the magical broth concocted from the sea. One day this will be mine.

2. Rodin Olio Lusso face oil. $140 for 1 once from the website. Another trendy concoction I really want (need) made from 11 essential oils, and seemingly on every beauty insider's vanity.

3. Philip B Russian Imperial Amber Shampoo $50 for 3 ounces available from the Philip B website. I read an article on this shampoo stating it was the most perfect shampoo ever tried. The author said it seemed to make magic by granting the user her inner most hair desire. This product has been on the back burner in my mind for awhile.

4. Chantecaille Real Skin gel foundation, $65 at Neiman Marcus. I have used this, and it's dreamy. A lightweight foundation that gives skin a dewy glow. Chantecaille makes a face cream with real gold in it, but that is just over the top - even for me.

5. Prada Infusion D'Iris, 1.7 ounces, $78 at Sephora - a lovely fresh floral scent with a hint of citrus.

6. The Lashstash gift set from Sephora, $45 - 11(!) different mascaras to compare and contrast. I did receive this one year and had so much fun putting on a new mascara everyday.

7. Any candle and or perfume from Tocca. I wear their Florence perfume and have used their body products before. I would love their collection of travel-sized candles for $42 from their website, or an assortment of full sized candles and laundry wash. Their scents are romantic, but light.

Maybe Santa will bring me something from my wishlist this year, and if not well, my birthday is just around the corner.

Seasons greetings, beauty junkies!
