Last Minute Shopping: What’s On Our Wish Lists Beauty Blitz
It's the Friday before Christmas and the world didn't end (phew!). That means last-minute shopping is in full force. If you have yet to finalize your list, we asked our editors to share the things they're hoping to find under the tree. Here's what we asked Santa for this year.
"There's something so deliciously sweet about the scent of this candle. It reminds me of subtle flowers and peaches. Now that I have babies in the house, I rarely like to burn candles, but on the rare occasion, I love filling my home with warm, sweet air."
"I am currently in the process of growing out my pixie cut. It's been a great run, but I need to switch things up. Therefore, anything that can make my awkward-length look chic is necessary. This dino headband has been on my wish list for ever! I'll have one in every color, pretty please!"
La Prairie Cellular Revitalizing Eye Gel Beauty Blitz
Jena Kingsley, Contributing Writer
"There is no late-night eye puffiness this gel can't cure. It's a miracle. It will take your look from tired to bright eyes in a few minutes. I swear by this stuff. It's definitely a splurge but worth every penny."
Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster Beauty Blitz
Jane Kirby, Contributing Writer
"The Sephora limited-edition 148 uber makeup palette is something I always dream about and mean to buy every year. It's so organized and sleek, something my makeup drawer needs!"
"My makeup tools could use an major upgrade. Whenever makeup artists use MAC brushes on me, it feels like they're tickling my skin with cold silk. And the pigments look beautifully blended."
"I happen to know that this gift is already under my tree. Thanks, bestie! I'm a HUGE fan of Gaga and this *singing* toothbrush will make the boring act of removing plaque way more enjoyable."
"This is my scent. Every time I wear it, people always tell me how great I smell. I have even heard the word 'irresistible' at times. It's my secret weapon. It should be yours, too."
"Robert Piquet's perfume Fracas is my all-time favorite. I always try to find a new scent to wear, but I can't! The mixture of tuberose and gardenia is sweet but not perky. In a solid-perfume form, there's no danger of it spilling in my purse."
"I'm on an expedition to find a new signature scent that my boys will grow up loving...and that that my husband likes, too. I'm drawn to the light feminine notes in this scent, which remind me of fresh melon and rose and other complex fruity floral notes, but nothing heavy."
Dior Ephemeral Skin Jewellery in 24-Carat Gold Beauty Blitz
Klaudia Kaczmarek, Associate Beauty Editor
"There is really nothing better than temporary tattoos made out of gold. Who needs jewelry when these Dior tats exist? I'm already picturing myself rocking these babies on New Year's Eve."
"I am obsessed with robes. When I check into a hotel, I am in the bathroom robe before my bags even touch the floor (which is always awkward for the bell hop). This awesome lined terry robe made by Skin is perfect after a great bath or whether you are just lounging around. This is definitely on my wish list this year."
"Since I paint and am always cleaning my brushes, my hands are often dry and rough. This Rodin hand cream is light and does the job of moisturizingwithout leaving a greasy film on skin. It's something I treat myself to!"
