santa baby

Is it too early to start talking about Christmas? Probably. But I'm going to do it anyway because I can't keep my beauty wish list to myself anymore!

This is Part One of the beauty products I want pray to find in my stocking or wrapped up under the tree this year:

  • Clinique All About Eyes - I have used this before at the Clinique makeup counter, and nothing even comes close for me. I don't struggle with super dark under-eye circles, but often lack sleep and need some help with "puffy eye bags." I don't even care if this stuff doesn't make me look more awake because I feel more awake. And that's all that really matters, right?

  • Stila Stay All Day liquid eyeliner - I've come back full swing and am obsessed with mastering the cat eye, once again. It's a classic look, looks awesome during the day AND night, and is simply pretty. I usually buy super cheap liquid liner from the drugstore, but I think a higher-quality liner stays on longer and will ultimately look better. Meow.
  • Benefit They're Real! mascara - This is my holy grail mascara to date. I got it by surprise for Christmas last year and fell head over heels for it (don't tell my boyfriend), and have to have it for my stubby/short eyelashes.

I will probably add half of Sephora to my Beauty Wish List before Christmas, but these are the three products I have to have. I'm going to be extra nice the next month...

lust at first sight

I am completely lusting over Smashbox's CC Cream. I want it. I have to have it. 

I have been using my current BB cream generously so I can run out and have an excuse to drop $42 on this CC cream. It's a ridiculous amount of money for a tiny bottle of essentially tinted face moisturizer, and I think this may be a contributing factor to the reason why I feel like I can't live without it (even though I don't even own it yet).

I've read countless reviews of all the best CC creams and tried on Smashbox's CC cream one day at Sephora. It had good coverage, but also felt lightweight on my skin and my face didn't turn into an oil factory like BB/CC creams usually do! I am trying to justify to myself that spending so much money on CC cream when there are a lot of cheaper options, but I have been using a cheap drugstore BB cream and it does nothing for my skin.

Always on my mind now-a-days


I am so in lust with this product because I actually think it will help to even out my skin tone and actually provide coverage. I guess there's only one way to find out...



Has anyone used a CC cream and seen results?
